#RPGaDay 31. FAVOURITE RPG of all time
I really don't do favourites. So at any given time, my favourite RPG is the one that I'm playing. Right now, that's #7thSea.
I favor understatement in RPG materials. Weird fonts and cluttered layouts hamper my ability to read the book. Many things that might make a book look "cool" may turn me off it.
My current favorite is the Star Trek Adventures Gamemaster's Guide. Textured cover. Simple black text on white pages. Enough art to navigate around it. Even has a bookmark!
I like these D&D character sheets for players with dyslexia. A relatively simple layout with enough going on to be interesting without devolving into visual chaos.
#RPGaDay 30. OBSCURE RPG you've played
I suspect the most obscure RPG I've played is Were-Woofs! I discovered it earlier this year, bought a copy for my daughter, and she ran an adventure for us while we were on holiday. The characters used to be humans, but woke up one day as dogs. It's good fun.
#RPGaDay 29. Most memorable ENCOUNTER
In our current 7th Sea campaign, my character was rescued from being hanged in the nick of time. My neck was literally in the noose when @JetlagJen's character shot the rope. That whole rescue was awesome :)
#RPGaDay 28. SCARIEST game you've played
I don't play horror, but Alice is Missing can get very tense and scary, especially towards the end as you get close to finding her.
Also, the 7th Sea game I'm currently playing isn't normally scary. But my character came close to getting killed quite recently, and that was scary.
#RPGaDay 25. UNPLAYED RPG you own
Lots! But I'll give a shout out to Coyote & Crow. Technically, my wife owns it, not me. But we haven't managed to play it yet.
With such a wealth of excellent and tempting free games?
With bundles that go from peanuts to a steal for 10 to 1000 games? I usually get them being interested in one or two games I heard of in the whole. Or sometimes for their cause. It's impossible to play them all. Or even read them all. I don't even have to possibility to read every damn title and pitch!
Ich spiele in einer "Worlds Without Number" Kampagne. Das System selbst ist gar nicht komplex, aber in der Praxis für mich eher schwierig: Ich vergesse immer wieder, dass im Kampf mit W20 gewürfelt wird, Fertigkeiten aber mit 2W6 (bei derzeit 7 Systemen komme ich durcheinander!) und es werden zahlreiche Ressourcen wie Traglast Erschöpfung usw. verfolgt.
Ich mag unsere Kampagne sehr. Das Regelwerk ist nicht für mich.
#RPGaDay 23. COOLEST looking RPG product / book
I couldn't decide between two for this one. I've always liked the cover art for the first edition of Twilight:2000. But the Alice is Missing cover art really evokes the feel of the game.
Das ist einfach: Mich hat das klassische Warhammer Fantasy Role Play in der ersten Edition schwer beeindruckt. Nicht, weil es hier nicht auch 80s-typische "Textwüsten" gegeben hätte, sondern weil durch Text, Illustrationen usw. die Stimmung des Spiels perfekt transportiert wurde. Spätere WHFRP Editionen wirken alle blass gegen das düster-satirische Original.
We had a one-shot where the GM divided the group into two. One group created a civilisation native to a planet and played "natives", the other alien visitors and their spacefaring civilisation.
The best scene (IMHO) was when the aliens arrived and they and the resident natives had to somehow establish communication.
