#SeptembeRPG

13. A game you always return to.
This one is going to be #Pathfinder. I started my RPG journey with a #DnD35 game and then was in 4e games and then got invited to join Pathfinder Society games at my local shop and then the home games became Pathfinder and now I have multiple bookshelves of Pathfinder goodies.

I like the setting of Golarion, I like the changes Pathfinder 1 made to the basic d20 system, and I really enjoy the customization and team focus of Pathfinder 2.

10. Mashup of games done or thought of?
In the first game I ever GMed, I used #SwordsAndWizardry because a version was free and I'd been reading about the #OSR. That I was using a BX retroclone did not stop me from grabbing bits from #GURPS or #DND35 or #NewWorldOfDarkness any of the other systems I could find books for at Seattle's The Dreaming.

I miss that store and its secret door to the bathroom hidden behind the Pathfinder shelf.

9. PLEASE SOMEONE RUN ME THIS GAME!
This one has got to be #TheStrange

I was an original backer of #Numenera on Kickstarter because the setting seemed cool. Then I picked up the next Cypher game at my local shop and it was about a multiverse where our shared imaginations create alternate universes we can travel to and our characters CHANGE universe to universe?! I bought it on first sight. And nearly 10 years later, I haven't got a group together for it still.

For #SeptembeRPG #SeptemberRPG #SeptembeRPG2023 5 I have some thoughts.

When I began DMing I tried to railroad and not railroad at the same time. I tried to guide into scenes as good as I could without forcing a lot.

Until I forced a scene really bad.

And I went into the other point and I finished into #PbtA and then I learnt how not to prepare and I got used and comfy by not preparing.

But I felt not so right sometimes.

I felt lost, but could not say how or why.

Recently I found #TrophyDark and #TrophyGold #FateOfCthulhu #CarvedFromBrindlewood ...

Ways to prepare not tight at all, but having some kind of prep.

And it clicked si well. I have DM'd things like #BlackSwordHack by facing the prep as a Trophy incursion, for exemple.

And that is the greatest change I've got: learning how to prep as it fits with my DMing

I will do @eladhen 's #SeptembeRPG. I find the prompts more interesting than #RPGaDay2023 's.

1. Great ttrpg 1st played this year.

I don't have anything in that category. And the two last great games I played before 23 are unpublished. And before that, I am not so sure. So I'll fall back to #CityOfMist which I started in April 22, which is really great and my 22's game of the year. Campaign starting back next week, I can't wait!

It will also fit quite nicely with prompt #2 🙂
