Profiling

Hey there,

Shortly after the Forge became revived, a thread started up that was VERY useful to everyone involved at the time. I'd like to start it again, as it really belonged in this forum anyway.

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?

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

Last played: Little Fears, a homebrew by a group member, and Hero Wars

Most enjoyed: Sorcerer, Hero Wars, The Whispering Vault

Want to try: The Dying Earth, Nobilis, Wyrd

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

RE: Profiling

Okay, well my online name is joshua neff & my real name is Joshua Neff. (Those caps make ALL the difference!)

Last 3 RPGs played: Mage (my own mutated version), InSpectres, The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen

Most enjoyed: Well, I quite like the general premise & setting of Mage, but as many have heard me bitch, I'm really frustrated with White Wolf's system & their metaplotiness. The other games I've most enjoyed: InSpectres & Over the Edge.

Want to try: Story Engine, Sorcerer, & Dying Earth. (And, yes, Adventure!.)

RE: Profiling

Last three: Universalis (if it counts), Some wacky home rules I came up with that were a combination of D6 using Zenobia's combat system, Rolemaster, and Over the Edge (in case Uni don't count)

Favorites: Assorted homebrews and Universalis. What can I say, I make games I like. My players hate the fact that they have to learn new rules for every game we play, though. My RM campaigns have gone through seven full versions of the rules, one of which looked suspiciously like GURPS. I'm a madman, I admit it. And, hey, you can make anything out of Hero System... :smile:

Want to try: Hero Wars, Primeval (two days from now with Tom), Geek Season as soon as Sean gets back to me with his latest edits!

RE: Profiling

Ok,

Played: Gurps, Elric, Call of Cthulhu.

Most enjoyed: Call of Cthulhu (by a long way), Gurps (though I don't like it at all nowadays), Feng Shui/OtE tie (though I've only played each once). Getting to 3 here is difficult, there are a lot of tied at third places.

Want to try: Sorceror and Sword, Little Fears, Castle Falkenstein. Again, tricky to pick just 3.

Why am I presently playing Gurps even though I don't like the system anymore? Simple, its not my game and the GM likes Gurps.

Best,

Max

RE: Profiling

Wasn't there some discussion of adding these items to the user profiles? It would be cool as hell to press a button and see a chart or something showing games trending upwards or downwards in popularity among Forge regulars.

Here goes:

Last played: The Pool, Theatrix, and InSpectres

Most enjoyed: The last few games I've played

Most want to try at this very moment: The World, the Flesh, and the Devil, Whispering Vault, Swashbuckler

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


PRIMEVAL (playtesting, if that counts :smile: , GURPS (Fantasy), WereWolf: The Apocalpse.




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


I have had a good time with alot of games, the only one I could say that I had a *consistently* good time with as far as playing them goes is CoC. TMNT comes in a close second, but that's due mainly to the people I was playing with at the time and the *ideas* of the game vs anthing to do with the Paladium game itself.

The single best Roleplaying expeience of my life was during a Home brew 'fantasy' game created and run by a friend of mine about 7 years ago. It was overall the best run, most intense and enjoyable experience I ever had roleplaying. Well, until we started work on PRIMEVAL :smile:



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


Agone, Little Fears, Unknown Armies

I would love to try these out. I have Little Fears, but very little opportunity to run or play anything right now.

RE: Profiling

Well, considering I have been running with a group that changes its makeup regularly, I would say:

played recently - Indspectres, Broomstix and Deadlands

enjoyed - a really fun D&D, Broomstix and Deadlands

would like to play - basically CoC, a full blown 7th Sea and Plastic people. Plastic people is one I would have to play, not run.

Overall, I enjoy a lot of games but I just never get the chance to finish them all

Last played


Oscura (Today's the second playtesting session)
Robotech (exactly 1 session a few months ago)
D&D (a rather fun campaign that I stopped playing about 2 or 3 years ago)



Most Enjoyed


Oscura (Years ago when it was just my modified D&D campaign, had tons of fun with it)
Improvs (During my first year of RPG retirement, it would sometimes be interrupted by improvised sessions that I enjoyed very much GMing)
Robotech (Years ago, flying veritechs was cool plus the GM had a pretty nice military intrigue thing going on)



Wanting to Play


Underground RPG (Awesome satire)
Little Fears
Mage or Sorceror (Mage showed me how interesting magic should be in a game, Sorceror seems to do that also -differently- plus it seems to have an interesting system and it seems I won't be pressed to buy 20 other sourcebooks)

Hi Don Lag,

Oh no, Sebastian?? Damn. That's one of my example-character names that I use a lot for discussions on the Forge. (Sam plays Sebastian, Bob plays Bartholemew.) I hope you don't mind.

I also wanted to say that I downloaded all of your material about Oscura a couple of months ago (I read Spanish) and I've been looking forward to more!

Sorcerer (I'm only gonna play this with Ron)

There's more, but that's on the top of my list.

RE: Profiling

Name: Ferry

Last three games played:


  • Halls of the Arcanum (WW)
  • Dungeons and Dragons 3rd edition
  • Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2nd edition


Not very spectacular, but hey.
Actually, the Halls of the Arcanum (more often referred to as plain Arcanum) is a deep, involving experience for me. The campaign is very complicated, with personal subplots vying for attention while the main plot (if there is such a thing) slowly creeps to fruition. The GM is brilliant...

Three games most enjoyed:


  • Paranoia (two one-shot demos at a con - 9 years ago)
  • Call of Cthulhu (I always seem to be an elephant gun magnet)
  • Dreampark (the sheer monstrosities you can build by mixing genres is amazing)


Three games I would most like to play:


  • Sorcerer
  • Unknown Armies
  • Adventure!

Does running a game count as "playing"?

If not, the last three games I was a player in:
DnD3E (Forgotten Realms), d20 Star Wars, L5R (using d20 rules)

If running the game counts, then the last three games I was in, starting from yesterday:
d20 Star Wars, Vampire, DnD3E (Planescape)

Three games I've most enjoyed: Changeling, Castle Falkenstein, Mage. Tho I think those games all had more to do with the players and the GM than the system or background.

Three games I want to play: Sorcerer, Aberrant, CONTINUUM, Godlike (yeah, it's four, sue me)

And, at the risk of being pejorative, the three worst game I've ever been in: Changeling (different campaign, same GM, go figure), Rifts, AD&D (2nd Edition)

Oh, and I prefer my college nickname, Loki. (I roomed with a gentleman who went by "Thor". Long story.)

That said, perhaps Adventure!, Blue Planet, and, eh, I can't think of a third.

Hey, it's not my fault it's a toss up between CONTINUUM and Aberrant. If you want to drop to 3, remove CONTINUUM -- I think it takes a very special GM to run that.

HOL was (and is) suprisingly playable.

I've actually been involved in lengthy campaigns.

the damage system was actually damn clever, probably way more impressive than the designers even intended.

RE: Profiling

Hmm, a few changes since the "other thread". First, the name - yup, I'm Gordon C. Landis. The reason I often use the middle initial (Campbell, if anyone cares) goes back to my early days working with computer Accounting systems where things named GLxxx (after the General Ledger) were everywhere . . . I'm trying to shift to a simple "Gordon", but you know, old habits.

* Last three games you played?
- D&D 3E
- Orkworld
- InSpectres

(Orkworld and InSpectres were one-shots, but technically, that's the list)

* Favorite three games you've actually played?
- Talislanta
- OD&D homebrew with many elements from Greg Costikiyan's "Swords and Sorcery" SPI boardgame (don't know that I could enjoy it nowadays, though)
- Bar Room Brawl (continuing the 'oddities' trend in my favorites, this was a little thing in White Dwarf designed to be played with D&D. You got a character, a motivation, and the props of the bar . . we must've played 5-6 times, burning down the bar all but once, and having an absolute blast every time. Probably could still enjoy this one - love to see it adapted to DD3E)

(I hope to generate some new favorites soon)

* Three games you've always wanted to play but haven't?
- Tribe 8
- Hero Wars
- Sorceror (probably the "& Sword" flavor)

(I'd explain why this is a different list from the other thread, but that'd let me add an extra game, risking the Wrath of Ron again. Man, last time I used that "Wrath of Ron" line he mentioned ear-crawlies and I'm not sure which was worse - having to admit I knew EXACTLY what he was talking about, or the memory of just how creeped-out I was the first time I saw that scene.)

RE: Profiling

Well, I usually hate playing this game, but here goes.

Last three games I've played are:
D&D3e
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay
Villians and Vigilantes.

The last two go back two years. Literally. And I don't get to game regularly at all so I haven't even been playing D&D.

I don't know if I got a lot of enjoyment out of three games or if three games really stand out. V&V definately tops the list. DOn't show me Marvel SAGA or Stuperpowers. V&V is the THE comic book super hero game to me and I won't be convinced otherwise.

I used to like the Warhammer World a lot but I've since become disenchanted with it. Mostly because I hate buying pewter.

There are lots of games I'd like to try. Lots of them.

Elfs
Sorcerer
Little Fears

The list goes on but at the top of that list is my own game game, doggonit! Well, maybe I should finish writing it.

My name's Mike Gentry, as you all surely guessed by my handwriting.

Last Three Games Played: Call of Cthulhu (using FUDGE), Paranoia, Unknown Armies (using FUDGE). I run CoC and Paranoia; one of my buds runs UA.

Three Games I've Most Enjoyed: Call of Cthulhu (using FUDGE), Warhammer FRP (using FUDGE), Vampire: the Masquerade. That's in terms of what games I happened to be playing when I had my three best roleplaying experiences, as opposed to what games do I like best generally.

Three Games You Want to Play but Haven't: Difficult to narrow it down to only three, but here goes: Tribe 8 (using . . . something; maybe Hero Wars rules?), Paranoia (using Dying Earth rules), Baron Munchausen.

A homemade TransFormers game, with few rules.

God, I hate gaming.

Uhm. Right, I've struggled at this for 5 minutes.

A Star Trek game using GURPs that lasted about 8 sessions (7 years ago).

The TransFormers game I mentioned above, which lasted for 5 sessions (2 years ago).

And maybe... jeez, I dunno... A Kult game. Which lasted a year or so. Mebbe (5 years ago).

I should just kill myself.

Unknown Armies. Sorceror. Continuum. Etc.

RE: Profiling

Heya,

I don't usually much post here, but thinking about these questions was enjoyable so why not post them? :smile:

Last Played: Legend of the Five Rings (played it to death, never touched the new edition), Shadowrun (played it death and then some) and Star Wars (the original - hated the system, but loved my character).

It's actually been a long while since we played something, but I've watched and waited for a good system (while creating one, too).

Most Enjoyed: Legend of the Five Rings (we reached such depths of human drama and immersion into a different culture/mindset that these memories will be with me for a long time), AD&D (1st and 2nd Editions way back in the days, but I really did enjoy it, even if I'm quite sure I couldn't anymore).

Naming a third is rather hard, I've had such fun times in all games. Probably Shadowrun (for sheer volume of played campaigns) or Star Wars (did I say I loved my character?).

Most Want to Play: Hero Wars (tho' Glorantha has never really sparked me, I'm interested in the system and maybe putting it in another setting like Middle-Earth), Sorceror and - duh - sounds stupid, but my home brew system which is still in design phase.

Oh, the name's Joachim Buchert.

Last 3:
L5R - A few years a go.
SRun - Until I decided that while 2 GMs sounded good... (If you ever feel like trying it out for the first time, my advice is to make sure you can stand the other would be GM in the real world first. Then make sure you have even somesort of amicable understanding on how to run the show. Like the level of realism.)
D&D3E - A recent addition, but being the Matron Mother has its perks.

Best 3:
L5R - the best summer I have ever spent (indoors).
Role Master - The innocence of youth. And the weeks and months just adventuring away with nothing to hold you back. (knowlegde -> pain)
White Wolf Megamix - In a world of the GM's making. "Better than ever, and almost goth free!"
