RPG Meme

(via Arref)

1. What is the first RPG you ever played?
Heroes Unlimited (Palladium)

2. What RPG do you currently play most often?
Hero 5th edition

3. What is the best system you've played?
It really depends. For simple systems, I like the Unisystem used in the Buffy RPG. For "crunchy" systems, I like Hero or GURPS depending on the setting.

4. What is the best system you've run?
I currently would have to say Buffy/Unisystem. Another possible answer is Bloodshadows/Masterbook.

5. Would you consider yourself an: Elitist/ Min-Maxer/ Rules Lawyer?
None of the above.

6. If you could recommend a new RPG which would you recommend? Why?
Out of the new games I have tried, I would recommend Savage Worlds for anyone looking for a good alternative to D&D. I'm very curious about the new World of Darkness system and if it turns out as good as it sounds, I'll be recommending it.

7. How often do you play?
I have a Champions group that tries to meet once a week, a Buffy RPG group that meets once-a-month and I attend one or two Ambercons a year.

8. What sort of characters do you play? Leader? Follower? Comic Relief? Roll-Player/ Role-Player?
Whatever catches my fancy.

9. What is your favorite Genre for RPGs?
I like good multi-genre games. That is the main reason I like Amber so much.

10. What Genres have you played in?
Superhero, Horror, Post-apocalypse, Fantasy, Film Noir, Swashbuckling, Historical, Children's (Pooh, Oz, etc.), Science Fiction, Space Opera, Cyberpunk and multi-genre (Amber).

11. Do you prefer to play or GM? Do you do both?
I enjoy both, but I prefer being behind the screen.

12. Do you like religion in your games?
A little bit. Most genres are incomplete without exploring a bit about how religion affects the world and the characters.

13. Do you have taboo subjects in your games or is everything "fair game"?
Not really.

14. Have you developed your own RPG before?
Several.

15. Have you ever been published in the Gaming Industry? If so...what?
Nothing, besides publishing on the internet. (Does making photo-copies of a game rulebook and giving to my friends count?)
