Reply: General Role-Playing:: Re: QOTD APR 15: For Players: Are fully-fleshed out characters preferred, with background, motivations, and a cool portrait, or just the basics and let the character develop over the campaign?

I don’t remember any character back stories I’ve made up myself. I do remember countless stories of what my friends and I did together.

I like to come in with a rough character concept but I don’t dwell on backstory at all. The plot of the campaign is what gives me the hooks to Velcro into the storyline.I don’t remember any character back stories I’ve made up myself.

New comment on GeekList My first ‘Top 100 Games’ list!

This list reflects my personal preference. I seem to favour thematic, complex, deductive, tense, highly interactive games.
Sat, still in shrink wrap on my shelf of shame, are a number of candidates that I think had a chance to insert themselves into this list, had I gotten around to playing them:
• Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion
* Heat: Pedal to the Metal
* Jagged Alliance: The Board Game
* The King's Dilemma
* Legendary Encounters: The Matrix
* Marco Polo II: In the Service of the Khan
* Mechs vs. Minions
* NINE
* Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood
* Wyrmspan
For anybody that got this far, thanks for reading 🤓

Reply: General Role-Playing:: Re: QOTD APR 8: Does a one-shot game satisfy your role-playing itch or do you need to play for many sessions with continuing and evolving plots and story lines to be satisfied?

One thing I like about one shots is I’ll do things differently than in a campaign. We had a one off Daggerheart and I chose an ending for my character when they got down to 0 that would have been different if I were in a campaign.

I like a good mix. Some game systems might arguably be better suited to one shots vs. longer campaigns.One thing I like about one shots is I’ll do things differently than in a campaign.

Reply: General Role-Playing:: Re: QOTD APR 18: When introducing a new system to a player, which do you think is better: giving them a pre-generated character to use or to guide them through the character creating process beforehand?

If I'm going to learn the rules well enough to run a game, I want the players at least invested enough to create their own characters.
