Me too! Me too!
1. What is the first RPG you ever played?
Do CRPGs count? If so, oh, probably Curse of the Azure Bonds (AD&D 1st edition) or Bard’s Tale or one of the early Might&Magics. Curse of the Azure Bonds is definitely the first thing I finished and remembered clearly and replayed obsessively. If CRPGs don’t count, I think my first chance to play in an actual RPG (instead of read about them and read them) was also AD&D– but I owned GURPS before that.
2. What RPG do you currently play most often?
D&D3e.
3. What is the best system you’ve played?
Exalted, I think.
4. What is the best system you’ve run?
Personally? A heavily pre-prepped BESM one-shot. I don’t run a lot. And when I do I always seem to be drawn to the marginal systems rather than the heavy duty ones. Oh hey, I remember really liking Whispering Vault. And Nobilis.
5. Would you consider yourself an: Elitist/ Min-Maxer/ Rules Lawyer?
Groupie.
6. If you could recommend a new RPG which would you recommend? Why?
Nobilis for comic book fans.
Exalted for gamers.
7. How often do you play?
Whenever I can harass somebody into running a game. Once every couple of weeks, usually.
8. What sort of characters do you play? Leader? Follower? Comic Relief? Roll-Player/ Role-Player?
I play the curious sensitive one who pushes the buttons that need to be pushed to make the plot happen. Usually.
9. What is your favorite Genre for RPGs?
There are a lot of genres I haven’t had a chance to play in, like steampunk and extensive cyberpunk. Mostly, my experience is with fantasy games, and horror. I guess I’m much more of a fan of story than genre at the moment. I’d like to do steampunk sometime though.
10. What Genres have you played in?
D&D fantasy, quirky fantasy, post-apocalyptic fantasy, science fantasy and horror.
11. Do you prefer to play or GM? Do you do both?
I like to play. I also like to be a GM but it never seems to work out very well because I enjoy playing so much and many of my fellow gamers prefer running.
12. Do you like religion in your games?
Yes.
13. Do you have taboo subjects in your games or is everything “fair game”?
I’ll make considerations for individual players, but otherwise everything is fair game.
14. Have you developed your own RPG before?
Partially.
15. Have you ever been published in the Gaming Industry? If so…what?
Nope!
