Let's get this party started!

Why don't you each post a short description of your character and the impression they give to the other characters. Then we will do the work call out and get to the craziness part of it all.

Well, I will be damned. And I've no clue what good deed I did.

I buy for the concepts, the backgrounds, the nuggets of design - just bits and pieces. I also buy to support the idea of games that I respect the design. I buy a few to play, but most I don't buy with that in mind. As long as I get what I need out of it, it's fine.

Great classic game. Think I had 5 or 6 of the books before retiring them. Large landscape with a large number of quest. Glad to hear you are enjoying the adventure.

Sorry for the delays replying. I think the full image by @wildthayne is the most recognisable. But I am not the only one to make the decision.

What are the next steps for submitting/creating the Microbadge?

I have a lot of boardgames and table top RPGs. Way too many to get regular use although I always buy games with the expectation of playing them and the hope of playing them a lot.. I sell boardgames regularly and often feel the push to cull more aggressively because they tend to take up a lot of space. RPGs are comparatively easier to store - a single bookshelf could easily occupy one for a lifetime. I only buy physical RPGs with the intention of playing them but, if I'm interested, I don't let the lack of current options to play them in the near future stop me from buying them. This is not a wise policy if getting everything on the shelf played is an important goal but I have no problem with the idea of "getting it to the table someday" even though I realize that someday may never happen.

I also buy large PDF bundles that intrigue me. I have gotten some of these to the table but far fewer than half of them -- in fact (most?) of the individual books remain unread. I have no guilt over these at all - they take up no physical space, don't eat anything and haven't complained yet.

I do not view my RPGs as a "collection" in the sense of being eager to preserve them etc. They are there to be read, played, mined for inspiration. I like having them around as sometimes I will play one game and think "that reminds of game x" and I can then reread "game x" and possibly play it again. I also like playing games that I might own (even if only on PDF) in one shots at a con and reading the rules after I've come home in order to make more sense of the system. I have done this and gone on to run the games for my local group or at a con myself on occasion.

Submitted! Glad I was able to catch this one! Last year is a tragic gap in my participation

PDFs I might pick up just to checkout and see if they could be worth playing, they don’t take up space and get in the way, and unless I die before my somewhat expected life expectancy I think most of my physical collection will have been played to some extent. It might take a few years to get some of the stuff before it gets played, but so far things get played sooner or later.
But no, they do not feel wasteful while sitting on the shelf awaiting their turn.

I'd like to ask why one post per user? Geeklist searching is really nice and useful and these GIANT posts of unlinked lists are kind of obnoxious to look through.

They also cause alot of scrolling when I'm trying to edit a big post and it's entirely unmanageable on a phone.

Multiple reasons including
a) many sellers offer bundle discounts or freebies with purchase, which works much better with the current format
b) multiple sellers list their games in price tiers; price reductions are easy to manage in the current format
c) being able to see all of someone's games in one place makes it easier to evaluate trade prospects
d) some people prefer to only have 2-3 GeekList pages to scroll through, instead of dozens
e) the volume of subscription notifications that would be triggered by a seller reducing prices across multiple individual geeklist items, sold item updates etc, would create a lot of noise and make it less likely that sometime would see the notifications they care about
f) as stated in the GeekList description, sellers with large lists are welcome to link to a separate GeekList or spreadsheet (a la SuperGLD) so there is an available solution to the maintenance issue

Thanks for the quick response!

Grimdark is generally possessed of gore.

The game most oft used as exemplar for grimdark is WFRP... the critical hits table is fairly graphic about what's come loose from or come out of the target.

Other rimdarks aren't as explicit, tho some are far more so.

Nothing in Age of Umbra as a frame, nor DH as a whole, requires gore... but being grimdark, yeah, gore is to be expected... Gore is the easiest way to convey grimdark tone, and it's the lazy GM's way. But it's also the default method. Lasting injuries (absent in DH) are another.
