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 18, our question is what your favorite game system?
Aser – I really like Eclipse Phase, but ultimately it’s a system that does one thing extraordinarily well. However much I may dislike some of its combat quirks, I think my favorite may be BRP, the percentile system behind Call of Cthulhu. I particularly like the way in which a PC improves their skills between sessions, by rolling to fail any skills they successfully employed on their previous outing. It seems very organic and encourages players to actually use their skills. With the release of The Strange, we’ll get to see just how versatile the Cypher System is, and it may become my favorite in short order.
John – Eclipse Phase
(Reading Call of Cthulhu 7th ed and I really like it!)
Landan – Pathfinder by Paizo
Megan – I really love Numenera. I can’t wait for my copy of The Strange to arrive!
Shaunna – It’s hard to pick one, so far. There are different things that I enjoy about different games–so, I enjoy the simple gameplay and character creation of Numenera…I enjoy the ability to play a fun Fiasco game on a whim…I love the character that I’ve been able to create in Pathfinder.
