Latest Profiling

[Nick the Nevermet]

Just stumbled on this, so...

Most recent: Fading Suns (If a PBEM counts), Exalted, Changeling, Dark Sun setting for D&D2E

Most enjoyed: ...This one is difficult.  I'll say Fading Suns,   Changeling, Ars Magica (even though it died after 1 session... it was a FUN session)

Most interested in playing Next: The Riddle of Steel, Nobilis, Underworld


I'm one of the unlucky people who has had chronic problems finding a gaming group.  As a result, roughly 90% of the games I've been able to get into have been D&D of one form or another, or the occasional Shadowrun.  Sometimes, these were fun, other times, it was killing things for a Saturday.  Either way, i've unfortunately always been around gamers who had the attitude of "why don't you just want to play D&D?  Its an RPG, and we all know it, and it works fine."

There are many games I have had a (for lack of a better word) half-assed experience with.  These include Unknown Armies, Feng Shui, and Pendragon, to name a few.

Well, I've been putting off posting here, but I guess I might as well. As I've alluded to on another thread or two, I'm essentially a bookshelf gamer. I know, I know, it's a lousy thing to be. This summer, I swear. Anyway, here's the only category I'm really qualified to fill out.

Most Want To Try: Nobilis, Sorcerer & Sword, The Riddle of Steel

[WhistlinFiend]

Now, if only I can get a group together...

What are the last three role-playing games that you actually, really played?
D&D3e, Version of Warhammer that was more a Mordhiem RPG than WFRP, Villians & Viginantes. Also a brief stint of De Profundis which died quickly.

What three role-playing games, out of ALL the ones you've EVER played, have you enjoyed the most?
V&V, ... that's it, really. I guess that's why I'm trying to make my own game.

What three role-playing games that you have NOT played would you most like to try?
I'd like to give De Profundis a better shot and to play my own game. I don't have a third for that.

And, yes, that's my real name.

Hi there,

Seems like the profiling got started again on its own. Which is cool, but I decided to split the most recent ones into a new thread (the last one ended mainly in January, one or two additions in April).

For those of you who are wondering what "profiling" is, 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?

No commentary is necessary - just list the game titles.

And one final point - 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 profile with it.

Best,
Ron

What are the last three role-playing games that you actually, really played?
The Riddle of Steel, Pendragon, L5R

What three role-playing games, out of ALL the ones you've EVER played, have you enjoyed the most?
The Riddle of Steel, AD&D2E (played for 10 years...how could I not enjoy it?), Star Wars d6

What three role-playing games that you have NOT played would you most like to try?
Sorcerer (esp. Sorcerer and Sword), Wiedzmin (a Polish game based on some of my favorite books of all time), and CoC (probably the old Chaosium version)

I'm also dying to play somekindof Starwars game, but I can't bring myself to go d20 on it (I just can't do levels...if the book was cheaper I might get it to read and try to convince myself, though). I might go d6, but Riddle it some...or maybe design my own Star Wars game (if only I had the time).

And my name is Jacob, and I'm a Linguist.
