> 1. What is the first RPG you ever played? 1st edition AD&D, 1980. > 2. What RPG do you currently play most often? A tossup between D&D 3.5 and Champions 5th. Though, if you're just counting playing (instead of play or GM), 3.5 goes into the lead -- I know a couple Champs GMs locally, but they prefer "PCs are of no importance" gameworlds ruled by their pet NPCs and I find such games boring. I normally have to GM to get my Hero fix. > 3. What is the best system you've played? > 4. What is the best system you've run? Probably Hero for both -- it's the one I have the most experience with. D&D is good for quick games, though. > 5. Would you consider yourself an: Elitist/ Min-Maxer/ Rules > Lawyer? I haven't heard the first term in the list before, is it on the lines of the second and third? > 6. If you could recommend a new RPG which would you recommend? > Why? If you mean a brand new game, I'm going to have to pass. Most of what I'm familiar with in the stores isn't completely new. > >> 7. How often do you play? Once a week, two different games on an alternating schedule. > 8. What sort of characters do you play? Leader? Follower? Comic > Relief? > Roll-Player/ Role-Player? I don't like coming into an established game and taking over the leader role right off the bat, but at the beginning of a game I'll tend toward that role. If not the overall leader, then the "expert consultant" for the leader for one area. > 9. What is your favourite Genre for RPGs? I really wish there were more pulp games out there. > 10. What Genres have you played in? Pulp, superheroes, fantasy, some horror, some SF, very little comedy (but I want to snag a copy of Paranoia XP for old times sake). > 11. Do you prefer to play or GM? Do you do both? I enjoy either. > 12. Do you like religion in your games? Do you mean religion as a major plot element? The gamers I know have a wide range of religious backgrounds, it would be difficult for me to run a religion storyline without turning the session into a Comparative Religions discussion group. > 13. Do you have taboo subjects in your games or is everything > "fair game"? I prefer to keep matters at a PG-13 rating. When running, if I get into R territory I keep it non-graphic. If running at a convention, I don't let it get into R -- the local con gets a lot of kids. > 14. Have you developed your own RPG before? No. > 15. Have you ever been published in the Gaming Industry? If > so...what? Three articles in Digital Hero (Hero Games' electronic magazine), a couple reviews in Pyramid Online, plus proofreading credits for the Hero System Bestiary (5th edition), Champions (5th), and Hero System Rulebook - Revised.
