RPG A Day 2015 – Day Twenty

Favourite Horror RPG… As a reminder, I don’t really do horror. That said if I had to choose one it’d be All Flesh Must Be Eaten. Having used it for different sorts of games but keeping an undead element I think it works really well in general.  The archetypes in...

RPG A Day 2015 – Day Nineteen

Favourite Supers RPG… As I’ve said previously on this blog I’ve never felt that Superhero RPGs have really worked. Especially confused by this given the episodic nature of Superhero comic books. If I had to choose one though? It’d probably be Golden Heroes or Savage Worlds : Necessary Evil. Golden...

RPG A Day 2015 – Day Eighteen

Favourite SF RPG… Sci-Fi RPG would have to be Star Wars : Edge Of The Empire, right? I’ve played every iteration of published Star Wars RPGs from the original West End Games Edition through their 2nd edition into the d20 versions that WotC produced and now with FFG which I...

RPG A Day 2015 – Day Seventeen

Favourite Fantasy RPG… So this is a shoe in, right?  It’s D&D obviously, right? Actually yes it is but it’s not the only Fantasy RPG I’ve ever played but it’s the one I keep coming back to irrespective of which version it is. Other Fantasy RPGs that I’ve tried include...

RPG A Day 2015 – Day Sixteen

Longest Game Session Played… Well I ran a game of 1st Edition AD&D for 24 hours once for charity.  Think that wins? So how did this happen then? I think it was 1991 as I would have been about 17 at the time.My friends and I had signed up to...

RPG A Day 2015 – Day Fifteen

Longest campaign played. This is actually quite hard for me as the bulk of my game play in ye olden days wasn’t really campaign based.  Sure the players would keep their characters and move from scenario to scenario but I’d mash that up over various settings and use published scenarios...

RPG A Day 2015 – Day Fourteen

Favourite RPG Accessory. Well I would like to nominate my hand crafted Wipebook or perhaps my Dungeons & Dragons playmats or maybe it’s my Gen Con 2014 messenger bag? Can I choose all 3? Ok so I don’t actually use the D&D playmats whilst playing D&D (although I did once) but...

RPG A Day 2015 – Day Twelve

Favourite RPG Illustration……. Dang this is a hard one as there are so many to choose from! Easy answer would be anything by Larry Elmore but that’d probably be cheating although still accurate.  Especially Elmore’s early work for D&D and his Dragonlance work. Overall though there’s been that much different...

RPG A Day 2015 – Day Eleven

Favourite RPG Writer… Again as with Publisher on Day Ten I don’t really have one. Sure I like the work that Jay Little has done with Star Wars : Edge Of The Empire and I’m keen to see what else he’s working on but then again unless the setting piques...
