#RPGaDay Day 17: Funniest Game you’ve played

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 17, our question is what is the funniest game you’ve played?

Aser – I suppose Fiasco has led to the most laughs for me, but the TRF crew can be relied upon to extract humor from the oddest, not to mention the darkest, places you can imagine. Funniest session was Bookhounds of London.

Ashleigh – Fiasco wins this one by a mile!

John – TOON by Steve Jackson. My cousin was a crazed duck named Zagnut who hated pickles and I was Polly NoBeard a turtle pirate. Fun game!

Landan – I think the Renaissance Fair themed Fiasco playset that was made by The Redacted Files own Ashleigh Shadowbrook and friend Stephanie Kingston. I think we broke the limit on the amount of innuendo one could tolerate without losing sanity.

Megan – The funniest game I’ve played is when I got super wasted and GM-ed, which involved me allowing a player to re-roll a one. I don’t remember much past that. I think I’ve had the most fun playing Final Girl though, I love horror movies and horror movie tropes.

Shaunna – Fiasco with Ash Shadowbrook, Nika Howard, Nicole Weaver, and Dean Thompson–even though we never finished the story, we had a fierce rivalry between fortunetellers, spirit bear grease, potential romance, and a real-life appearance of a Tim Horton’s during the Google Hangout

#RPGaDay Day 9: Favorite Die/Dice Set

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 9, our question is what is your favorite die/dice set??

Aser – My favorite set of dice is one that doesn’t exist yet.It’s a standard set Megan got for me that has one very interesting thing distinguishing it from other sets of dice, all seven dice are labeled in braille. This will mean I’ll actually get to roll dice in an RPG. How cool is that?

Ashleigh – I’m not normally a super girly person, but I love my sparkly opal d20 set!

John – My red and black Eclipse Phase/Call of Cthulhu d10 set, originally for TOP SECRET, S.I. For d20, my blue and red speckled clear set I’ve had since High School.

Landan -The next set of dice I buy.

Megan – When I GM my favorite set is my Cthulhu dice, the green set that also glows in the dark. They just seem appropriate for trying to murder my PCs. When I play I use a slate/blue Chessex set Aser got for me. It’s hard to choose though, I love all my dice.

Shaunna – I love ALL THE COLORS, can’t choose just one!

#RPGaDay Day 8: Favorite character

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 8, our question is what is your favorite character?

Aser – My favorite character in any game I’ve ever played in isn’t one of mine.It’s easily Lieutenant Michael O’Shea from PX Poker Night. I really hope that guy makes it to the end credits on that one… I really haven’t had enough experience to single out one character as being my best from the ones I’ve played so far. The closest might be Kelner, the dishonorable jack who murders from our as yet unreleased Numenèra prequel campaign. He was the first character I ever put together to do one thing really well, and that was kill people. When he connected, it really seemed like I’d accomplished something.

Ashleigh – I once played a 4e Revenant who was, essentially, an undead Mountie. Maxed out charisma – she was horrifying looking but SUPER polite and stereotypically Canadian.

John – Rulane, 15th Level basic D&D Thief and Dr. S.Q. Widworth, Eclipse Phase Octomorph Psychologist

Landan – All the ones I have played I can honestly say that I can’t pick one I severely dislike.

Megan – My very first character, Khan. She was a Explorator for Rogue Trader, and I loved being a Tech Priest, with my awesome power ax, servitor skull named Bob, and worship of the Omnissiah. She’s also the only character I’ve painted a miniature for…

Shaunna – Elodie, my current Pathfinder druid
