Title: Profiling, fall 2002
Post by: Ron Edwards on October 10, 2002, 08:32:46 PM
Hello,

We do this every so often. It goes like this:

What are the last three role-playing games that you actually, really played?

What three role-playing games, out of ALL the ones you've EVER played, have you enjoyed the most?

What three role-playing games that you have NOT played would you most like to try at the moment?

So for me, at present, it goes like this:

Last played: Sorcerer (& Sword), Little Fears, Trollbabe

Most enjoyed: Sorcerer, Hero Wars, Violence Future

Want to try: Donjon, Pocket Universe, Arrowflight

More rules or "rules":

1) No freebies or extras, as in, "Game X, Game Y, and ... and Game Z and Game A!!" Three each, no more and no less.

2) Time is irrelevant. If the last three games you played were ten years ago, they still count.

3) Don't comment on other people's profile or the games in this thread. Start up a thread if you'd like, although choose your forum carefully, or send a private email.

4) if you have no objection, it'd be nice to know people's real first names if you don't use it already. There's absolutely no obligation to do so, but if it's OK with you, just sign your post with it.

5) For people who played a ton of GenCon one-shots, or if people are wondering about convention/demo play in general, they do count if you want them to, otherwise, skip'em.

The previous Profiling threads were:

Latest Profiling (http://www.indie-rpgs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2274)
Profiling (http://www.indie-rpgs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=843)
Profiling strikes again - everybody play! (http://www.indie-rpgs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1619)
... and it looks as if I can't find the first one. If someone finds the thread URL, private-message it to me, OK?

Best,
Ron

And, to answer the perennial question, GMing counts as playing for purposes of this. Right, Ron (you ought to use "participated")?

No problem Ron. My real name is Anthony. I have been trying to change my log in handle but for some reason the &^%^&%*8u87^^&^%& thing won't let me. Probably user error for I is dumb as a stump.  

Q1 Last Played most recent first
D&D3e, Buffy, Star Wars D20

Q2 Most enjoyed games
Buffy, GURPS Lite, Rolemaster

Q3 Not played but would like too
The Riddle Of Steel, FUDGE, Sorcerer

BTW Should we have a " least liked" column as well or maybe a seperate post? It sounds kind of interesting

Hi there,

Quick clarifier to Anthony and everyone else: no, I think a "least fave 3" thread would be counter-productive. A more discussion-based thread works better for such things, like that really excellent one for "worst experience ever" a while ago. Seems to me that if a game (play or design or commerce) makes that negative an impression, then it should afford enough meat for a focused thread in Actual Play, RPG Theory, or perhaps even Publishing.

Best,
Ron

Hey, all. I've been around a while. My first name is Kirt. My friends call me Loki.

What are the last three role-playing games that you actually, really played?

1. D&D 3rd Edition (the last session of my Planescape game, soon to become a Scarred Lands game)
2. OctaNe (I ran the game... my PCs were a Mexican Wrester ("the Question") and a cross between Chun Yun Fat and Elvis, fighting alien cockroaches.)
3. Spycraft (AEG's modern-day d20 variant -- we're playing one of the sample adventures, not finished yet)

What three role-playing games, out of ALL the ones you've EVER played, have you enjoyed the most?

1. My first choice would still have to be the Changeling campaign set in Paris my friend Jason Needham ran. (Mmmmm... seelie redcap.)
2. The first game of Wuthering Heights I ever ran. (Read about it here (http://www.indie-rpgs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1503).)
3. The first ongoing Vampire LARP campaign, warts and all, that I ever participated in. (My character was a Malkavian with two personalities, one for the vampire and one for the stuffed bunny I carried around. Yeah, it was a goofy Malk, so sue me... My only justification is it had an edge. The bunny was a real bastard, and even nearly killed several Tremere by interfering with a ritual.)

What three role-playing games that you have NOT played would you most like to try at the moment?

1. Dust Devils
2. STUPERPOWERS
3. last and very much not least: Nobilis

Last Three Played:

-- Nobilis (I run it every week)
-- In Nomine/Nobilis amalgam (PBeM I play in)
-- Vampire (a hell of a long time ago)

NOTE:  I was out of the country for all of last year, so it's been a loooooong time since I've actually played anything.

Three Most Enjoyed:

-- Nobilis (oh, do I love this game)
-- Continuum (I ran a short-lived PBeM that was amazingly fun)
-- Wormwood (little known sourcebook for Palladium's Rifts based on Timothy Truman & Flint Henry's ideas; NOT a classic, but good stuff)

Three Most Interested In:

-- Torchbearer (Shreyas' game SO kicks ass!  I can't wait to run it)
-- Exalted (yeah, yeah, I know.  but I want to TRY, at least...)
-- Narcissist (the sequal to Continuum, which I should be recieving v0.7 of pretty soon.  Maybe I'll work up a PBeM playtest eventually...)

Later.

Last Three Played:

-Seventh Sea (very disappointing, awful GM ruined the setting and atmosphere; Unlucky dice destroyed all my attempts at swashbuckling; almost disgusted me of RPing)
-Cyberpunk (All this cool tech !! Taught me teamwork too)
-Runequest (several long campaigns, Glorantha and elsewhere)

Three Most Enjoyed:

-Rêve de Dragon (absolutely amazing poetic french RPG with insanely dreamy yet simulationist mechanics, and a magic system most unique; very ironic, quirky scenarios...a shame it never got translated))
-Runequest (Richness of setting, and I was very Sim at the time)
-Traveller ( first appearance of Drama-led campaigns for me)


Three Most Interested In:

-Sorcerer (duh...got so many ideas for this it's ridiculous)
-GURPS Transhuman Space (not so sure I'll use GURPS actually, but TS is a fantastic setting, SF like never seen before, with very deep issues about humanity...rings a bell?
-Fading Suns (Best setting ever. Period)

I'll assume and only post the face to face RPGs
(I've played lots of solo-game books, wargames and boardgames mainly due to availability, isolation and player willingness).
