It's that time of year again... and I forgot about it until a friend posted it on the second. I won't be doing daily updates on the blog... maybe weekly...? We shall see...
1) FIRST RPG played (this year)
That would be the Back of Beyond Campaign I ran earlier this year. I wasn't using any system in particular... I guess it was similar to Diplomacy, in a way. I had six players, each representing a warlord in control of a faction in the Far East starting in 1919. There were Tsarists and Bolsheviks and Warlord Chinese and Western Interventionists. They sent messages to the other warlords to negotiate or threaten or bully each other, as they saw fit, and at the end of the week, submitted a movement order for their army in the field. I played out any battles using One-Hour Wargames and reported the results on this very blog... and the negotiating began again. Some REALLY GOT INTO THEIR ROLES - writing verbose communiques and proclamations in the "voice" of their "character".
2) First RPG GAMEMASTER
Like, ever...? That would be my dad, I think. I somehow convinced him to buy the red box Dungeons & Dragons around 1982 or 1983 and he tried to run it for me... but very quickly I took over and ran it for him for a time, until I found other kids my age to play with.
3) First RPG BOUGHT (This Year)
I can't remember if I bought the Hellboy RPG at the beginning of this year or the end of last year...?
If the latter, then it would be the Blade Runner RPG I bought last week.
4) Most RECENT Game Bought
That would be either the Blade Runner RPG or Tiny Epic Galaxies...?
If we're talking RPGs... Blade Runner.
Speaking of recent purchases, though, Finnegan bought the My Little Pony RPG and a game called Thirsty Sword Lesbians the other day! They sound fun and I hope I'll be able to convince him to run a game or two for me and some friends.
5) OLDEST Game You've Played
The oldest Role-Playing Game I've played would be D&D... though it was relatively NEW at the time!
If we were talking about a game that was OLD when I played it - like the game that had the largest amount of time between when the edition I played was published and when I played it... That would probably be quite a bit different!
Oldest GAME... like the physical copy I played...? Or the old game invented...? Probably Monopoly or Crokinole or Snakes and Ladders...?
6) Favourite Game You NEVER Get To Play
Honestly, when I've been playing as little as I have the last little bit, EVERY game seems like a game I never get to play and wish I could play more.
Also, I don't think I lament not being able to play any particular game as much as I miss getting to play with certain PEOPLE...
I guess Wrath & Glory is the one I've thought about most over the last year and just never seem to get a game going...
Or FATE...
7) SMARTEST RPG You've Played.
I don't know... There have been some with new things, clever mechanics and such...
I really like the simplicity of FATE. It seems very elegant. I'd like to try it more. (though I just went out and bought Blade Runner...!?)
How about the rest of you?
