RPG a Day The End

My computer has had issues, so I have a new laptop so I am finishing up in a single post.

Most memorable encounter: Not sure which is most memorable.

Favorite RPG website/ blog: Dysons Dodecahedron and a whole bunch of others

Rarest RPG owned: Unusual, but in the day of pdf's it is hard to say any are specifically rare.

Favorite RPG playing celebrity: Not that I know many. I really like watching Acquisitions Incorporated, and Tabletop, and Titansgrave.

Favorite RPG of all time: It is a toss up between Dungeons and Dragons and Star Wars D6 by West End Games

RPG a Day 28

Scariest Game you’ve played: I avoid scary games, so not really applicable.

Favorite game you no longer play: I consider that any game could come back around so not an issue really. Recently had a Star Wars D6 one shot, so they come back.

RPG a Day 27

Game you would like to see a new / improved edition of: I really don't have one in mind.

Favorite idea for merging two games in one: I am working on an adventure using random tables and ideas from several sources, Maid RPG, Lamentations of the Flame Princess and Dungeons and Dragons. More content not rules, but I have considered using a modified version of traveling rules from Ryuutama in Dungeons and Dragons. I also am considering using boardgames maps to help define some game locations such as the Gardens of Alhambra pictured above.

RPG a Day 26

Coolest Character Sheet: Oooh rabbit hole, I am a sucker for any well designed character sheet.

Favorite Inspiration for your game: Anything and everything

this post was longer but failed to save, oh well.

RPG a Day 25

Favorite RPG no one else wants to play: It is more a thing of getting people together with time to play than which game.

Favorite Revolutionary Game Mechanic: Revolutionary is a strong term. I quite like the advantage and inspiration mechanics of 5th edition dungeons and dragons. I like the stunts mechanism of Fantasy Age (I forget what the similar thing is called in the new Star Wars RPG).

RPG a Day 24

Most Complicated RPG owned: Pathfinder, I only own some PDF's but it is extremely crunchy

Favorite House Rule: Rule Zero, and make it up as needed.

I finally ran an adventure in my new campaign setting with my wife, son, and two nephews. It went rather well but I had to make stuff up on the fly. Because I had a sense of the overall history of the setting, the fact my one nephew wanted to be from the future and the other a companion to a time traveling meddler wasn't too disruptive.

The crew meet in the city of Independence, the capitol of the Conclave of Equals. One of the newest nations and certainly not stable or effective with it's tri-cameral legislature and a committee for an executive branch. So far that has not come into play yet, but a gnome is hiring hands to help with a crashed shipwreck. They jump at the chance and find themselves near a druid ship smashed against some rocks. By the end of the adventure they have battled an incubus over a merfolk chest and a dozen merrow(squid like merfolk), and that still doesn't explain how the gnome knew that stuff was there or why there was an incubus involved at all. Perfect for some followup adventures.

RPG a Day 23

Coolest looking RPG product / book: Art is one thing I love in RPG's. Many have great art.The old Basic series had great evocative art. The new Dungeons and Dragons has great realistic style art. A Red and Pleasant Land has great quirky style art. Blue Rose has a fantastic cover art, but I have not bought it to see the internal art. Ryuutama and Golden sky stories also have great artwork.

Perfect game for you: There is no perfect game, just games that fit the time and people.
