#14 Favourite object one of your characters has owned?
This goes to Nemir's copper-adorned boots because her companion, who had fallen for her (Nemir is starting to fall in love too), decorated them as a sign of love. Theres a dwarvish rune that says "love" on the lace caps.

#11: Have you played a hex crawl
Nope#12: Have you designed a dungeon
Nope. I'm not even sure where I'd start with that and I dont have any pressing need, as i dont typically DM. I have drawn maps though and that was fun :]]#13: Have you played LARP?
I haven't but I'd love to !! Maybe one day, when I have more money to travel and buy stuff for it -
#10 Have you played a journaling game?
I've tried and really enjoy it but I dont consistently do journaling for myself so consistently journaling for a character has followed the same pattern 😅 I'd like to do it more though !! I'll see if I can find a journaling game that is more fantasy rather than the current one I'm trying to do,which is based more around the cthulu mythos#JournallingRPG #GTKM #TTRPG #TTRPGS #Journalling #JournallingGame #SoloRPG

#6 - a favourite TTRPG character you've played
Nemir (My character for my One Ring campaign) !! The OG, I've watched her grow with her companions and written so many pieces of her life of her time back home in Mirkwood. She's grown from being naive, newly venturing into the world, to the person she is now, weighed with the burden of knowledge and responsibility, just trying to do her best for her people and her friends. My absolute beloved. None other compare to her.
-
#5 TTRPG you've played the most
The One Ring - it was the first campaign that I'd ever been in and its lasted ever since (been almost 4 years). Though with the hiatus that it took, Dnd is probably not far behind.

#3 - A published npc that left a lasting impression on you
Oooooh... I have several. One or two are in the grey area because they only exist in a "published" way on a wiki dedicated to a homebrew world BUT I shall talk abt them all anyway >:)
SO the first? Daran, from a Lost Mines of Phandelver campaign where I was playing a young tiefling sorcerer called Kairen.
(Part 1)
-
#2 - Favourite TTRPG game world
I'm gonna say Middle Earth as my favourite setting to play in. Probably at least in part influenced by the fact that it was my introduction to ttrpgs. Second favourite is the homebrew world of my current Dnd campaign because it has so much lore and the gods are so fascinating.
(I love Dragon Age but I think the fact that I haven't played the ttrpg for it disqualifies Thedas from this particular list lol)

#1: First store where you bought a TTRPG
Cant actually remember if I've bought any of my ttrpg books. I dont own that many - most of the ttrpg books back home belong to my dad and I just politely nick them - and the ones I do own have mostly been Christmas or birthday gifts. There is a small game shop just a short train ride away though that have had dnd books and I definitely bought a set of dice there.

TTRPG questions and answers: a thread
Because this also seems like a really cool get-to-know-you thing. Probably not going to stick to the format of one-a-day because I'm impatient and also forgetful (great combo!) and have other responsibilities (alas).
But enjoy!! :]

20. How did I get into RPGs.
I think it was when I was reading a 2000AD Summer Special in the mid/late80s. There was an article about D&D and I thought it sounded interesting. I bought the Moldvay box, recruited some friends, and never looked back!

15. Memorable relationship one of my characters has had
A game run by @TheTweedmeister , perhaps Age of Arthur? One PC was a half-fae Queen. I was her loyal bard and advisor. The characters were friends and colleagues.
But Arthurian gaming must have unrequited love. With the Queen's player's permission, my bard was madly in love with the Queen, while she loved her husband.
The characters had a really tender relationship, helped by all the players treating it maturely.

14. Favorite object one of my characters has owned
I really don't know! I've spent most of my time GMing, and when I do play most of the games are shorter blocks.
But to turn it around, one of the favourite gaming things that I own is my collection of All Rolled Up gamer-stuff holders. They're excellent. I can't recommend them highly enough. Ask @PaulBaldowski for some details.

13. Have I played larp?
A few times. The one time I did rubber-sword larping was for my stag party! We all took it about as seriously as you'd expect.
I've done a few freeform / parlour larps, mainly at the #Glorantha cons. I'd like to try some of the Nordic larps, but I'm not sure how to get into that scene.
-
12. Have I designed a dungeon?
A couple, when I first started with D&D. But not many.
I try to come up with interesting places to have action scenes, and I find the Concept Cards from Artemis Games useful to prompting interesting places and people. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/6001/Artemis-Games
But when I'm designing situations for games, I normally start with the relationship map, incorporating needy NPCs and an unstable situation so everything's in motion. A social dungeon, if you will.
-
11. Have I played a hex crawl?
No.
I can't see the point of them. The closest I got was looking at the Isle of Dread scenario in the D&D Expert box, and being rather confused about the whole thing.
I feel the same thing about sandbox play, and much genre-celebrating play, where the intent is to replicate the "feel" or "tone" of a genre, rather than make an engaging game with meaningful decisions.
So, hexcrawls. The reason why I don't like most Call of Cthulhu.
-
10. Have I played a journaling game?
A little. I've run through Anamnesis a bit. That was fun to do.
I got Thousand Year Old Vampire for Christmas but haven't really got started yet.

9. Favorite TTRPG for its writing
Not quite the question, but my favourite writing in RPGs is the GM advice bits in the Bakers' games (Dogs in the Vineyard, Apocalypse World, &c). I like that they have friendly and personal voices. It helps me to find the game as something accessible, that I can do. I may not do things perfectly, but neither do they!
Plus, the text is well-written and clear, with obvious and easy-to-follow instructions.
-
8. Favorite TTRPG for its art
I'm not a great one for the aesthetics of games. But how can I not mention...
Everway.
A game based almost entirely around art. Characters, places, situations, all get inspired by "vision" art cards. Resolution is by a Tarot-like deck of cards, where you interpret the image on the card rather than use numbers.
I'll also mention Sam Liu's work in the original RTal Cyberpunk. That strong line art fitted the game perfectly.
-
6. A favorite character I've played
I'm a "forever GM", so I don't get to play many characters.
One favourite th ough was from Scott Dorward's "Time and Tide", Innsmouth 30 years later, using Primetime Adventures.
@jamesmullen suggested he play the PA of the recently-murdered mayor of Innsmouth. I responded that I should play the mayor.
So I did.
I spent the first couple of sessions interacting through pre-recorded messages and the like, before "coming back" from the dead.
-
5. Game I've played the most.
This could easily be a misleading answer.
From mid-80s to about 2000, I played #RuneQuest , #HeroQuest and other #Glorantha games.
Then early 2000s I jumped on the #IndieRPG bandwagon (thanks, Scott!). Since then, I've played a huge variety of games, constantly trying out new and different games. It's now rare that I return to a game after a dozen sessions or so.

Let's jump on the "get to know me" bandwagon. Answers in the thread.
One answer per day (or there abouts).

17. I really would like to play Fight With Spirit in 2023. Something like a team version of Yuri on Ice, would be lovely.
I'd like to run Apocalypse Keys. The genre's not normally my bag, but the system on the game looks clever as hell, and I'd like a chance to make it run.

8. Favorite RPG for its art
There are lots of Rpgs with great art. But I love Eclipse Phase for its incredible setting and evocative art. And I love that their philosophy is to release everything via a Creative Commons license for non-commercial use.

15. Apocalypse World Fallen Empires, Darius was the last survivor of the slaughter at Merv. He was a stoic, silent type. Which is dull.
So we made him haunted by the ghosts of the city he lost. When he could not speak to the living, we'd play scenes where he spoke to his beloved dead.
By end of campaign, we had a whole village of ghost NPCs -- people once bright and alive, now lost and gone, living only so long as Darius remembered. It was heart rending and illuminating.

7. Rpg I’ve spent the most money on but never played.
Tricky question. I spend the most on games that I’m playing.
One game that comes to mind is Amber Diceless, although that only has two books. But if you include Lords of Gossamer and Shadow, which is effectively a second game, that’s more. I would like to try it someday.
I also went all in on Harn recently. I’m not really sure why. The world is interesting, but I’d prefer a different system.
