Profiling, fall 2002

[Ron Edwards]

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:

Profiling strikes again - everybody play!
... 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")?
