TRF is taking part in #RPGaDay! We’ll answer each question as a group, and would love to hear your responses as well, here or on Twitter.

For August 13, our question is what is your most memorable character death?

Aser – My favorite character death is still my first, where I manipulated the situation to draw attention away from my character’s lover by falsely admitting his guilt. That was fun.

John – My first game of 1st Ed AD&D, my half-orc assassin found a magic spear three rooms into the dungeon; threw it to test it out. DM random roll proved it to be a cursed spear of back-biting and it came back around and killed me!

Landan – The death of Tum Darkblade on the Drunks & Dragons podcast, and then every character Veronica the GM for Cthulhu & Friends podcast has killed or taken control over. I think Xander and Anya were my favorites on how they ended. You didn’t specify it had to be a character I played which would be none.

Megan – I’ve never had one of my characters die, and have only killed one PC. So I’ll go with TRF’s episode of Final Girl, Dead Wrong. I loved the deaths on the catwalk, the creepy inescapable doom.

Shaunna – I haven’t had any character deaths!

For August 12, our question is what is an old RPG you still play/read?

Aser – I still have a soft spot for Call of Cthulhu and the 1990s Delta Green. We’ll have to see whether the new editions coming out carve out a new niche in my heart.

John – red box D&D I love it so! X1 Isle of Dread, Top Ballista, Tall Tales of the Wee Folk, Shadow Elves, Gazeteers… Sigh.

Landan – None at the moment

Megan – I guess Call of Cthulhu, most of what I play is more recent.

Shaunna – It’s a new hobby for me…nothing’s old yet!

For August 11, our question is what is the weirdest RPG you own?

Aser – We have too many contenders for this prize, I’ll have to get back to you when we start writing game reviews.

Landan – Fiasco it is fun to play but definitely gets the most weird.

John – weirdest? Maybe Lords of Creation: intended for god-level advancement, you could meet Greek Gods or Mantis people or androids and mix settings as you learned to control space and time, reality itself.

Megan – I own a bunch that I haven’t had a chance to play yet thanks to Bundle of Holding, so out of the ones I’ve played maybe Final Girl? I like that it uses a deck of cards instead of dice. We just need to get Fortune’s Fool and play one with Tarot cards, or Dread and use a jenga tower!

Shaunna – Numenera

For August 10, our question is what is your favorite tie-in Novel / Game Fiction?

Aser – I haven’t gotten to read any of it as yet, but the Warhammer 40k fiction just seems utterly fascinating to me.Its over-the-top violence, bleakness and decadence just seems so, well, delightfully over-the top. I have to try those novels.

John – Ravenloft and Dark Sun novels

Landan -Currently it would be Star Wars but we will see how The Dresden Files turns out

Megan – Does Dresden Files count? Because I have more then a slight obsession with those. I have a couple of Warhammer 40k books a friend lent me, but haven’t gotten to them yet.

Shaunna – Jaeludra fan fiction

For August 7, our question is what is the most “intellectual” RPG you own?

Aser – Intellectual games? I guess I’m guilty for liking the idea more than I follow up on it. Megan and I have some great RPGs that operate on a level far above that of the typical murderhobo adventure, but not having engaged with them all that much yet, I can’t really comment on whether they deliver on that promise.

John – Tie between Call of Cthulhu and Eclipse Phase

Landan – I am not sure how to answer this I would think all RPG’s are intellectual.

Megan – Eclipse Phase had the character creation that made me most want to turn around and flee. But I think probably Numenera. I like the fluidity of the system and how there are so many options to solve problems with the cyphers, oddities, and artifacts.

Shaunna – Call of Cthulhu again, probably?

For August 6, our question is what is your favorite RPG you never get to play?

Aser – Anyone who’s ever talked to me about gaming has probably had to sit through me going on and on about Delta Green. As much as I love classic Call of Cthulhu, I love this modern take on the mythos and wish I could actually play a game or two. Stay tuned for more on that by the way….;)

John – Probably Eclipse Phase as our live group just dissolved due to life commitments…also I had the 4th edition book since 1992 and played my first game last year!

Landan – I really like the concept and mechanics I have read in the Star Wars: Edge of Empire books but since it mostly wants you to play in the era of the Jedi Purge. So because of this it doesn’t focus on Jedi or Sith and most my friends don’t want to play it.

Megan – Does Numenera count? I’ve always GM’ed it, never played it. I also really want to play Dresden Files, but the one time I had a chance, the group iced me out once they found out I wasn’t a guy…

Shaunna – There’s never enough Fiasco in my life

For August 5, our question is what is the most old school RPG you own?

Aser – I’m really new to RPGs, so it’s all new to me. The oldest thing I have would probably be D20 Modern, and D&D 3.5.

John – You guessed it, Red Box D&D

Landan – It would be several books from the Saga Ed. rulebooks for Star Wars RPG back when Wizards of the Coast still had the rights.

Megan – Probably Pathfinder…I guess I’m not very old school.

Shaunna – Chaosium 6th Ed. Call of Cthulhu
