Bonjour ! À nouveau, c’est le #RPGADAY2023, et je suis aussi paresseux que l’année dernière. Alors je vais faire comme l’année dernière (Quand je vous dis que je suis une feignasse !).
Pensons d’abord à tout ce qui nous rassemble dans cet univers ludique et faisons de notre mieux pour offrir du plaisir à un maximum de monde grâce à la bienveillance et la diversité. [1/2]
#rpgaday2023 Day 21; I was informed that this was a cop out if I choose Enemy Within campaign. Well tough, it was the first actual campaign (not a series of stand alones) that I bought for any system.
I adore it for its humble beginnings that bloom into an epic celestial struggle.
Slowly making way to the finish line of #RPGaDay2023 with a write-up of my most memorable encounter from the past year: "The Offer" chapter of the @lairofsecrets #CyberpunkRED campaign.

#RPGaDay2023 - 31 - Favourite #ttrpg of all time. If you know me, you know the answer.
#TravellerRPG, my enduring love. Thank you Marc Miller and friends at GDW for a game that's endured.

So, my most memorable encounter. This was initially quite hard to think of, but then I remembered a meeting in #TheOneRing #ttrpg when we played through the Darkening of Mirkwood. Big hat tip to @TheTweedmeister
for that game. Also a hat tip to @Son_of_Albion for the runner up.

The #ttrpg session that gave me the biggest fright still remains the same, but the game that has given me a rising feeling of terror and fear is different. Hat tip to @TheTweedmeister and @pelgranepress for delivering on that in our ongoing #TrailofCthulhu campaign of #EternalLies.
Part of my attempt to close out #RPGaDay2023 (entry 28)

It’s only taken ten years, but the #ttrpg I’d most like a new edition of is getting very close to release. The funny thing is that my answer is pretty much the same as a decade ago. Entry 27 in my attempt to close out #RPGaDay2023.

I decided to muse a bit on VTT character sheets for #ttrpgs in the catch up for day 26 of #RPGaDay2023. Specifically, the #RoleVTT stands out for me.

#RPGaDay2023 - 23 - Coolest product.
Okay, it’s late but work got complicated. I can’t believe how cool products look now compared to 2014. I call out a recent #ttrpg release and also a publisher.

OBSCURE RPG you've played
I played a home brew Highlander RPG based on the Vampire system. I think that's the best I've got.
FAVOURITE RPG of all time
Rules Cyclopedia D&D. Pretty sure it's a case of first love, but it makes me happy still, and decades later, I don't see that changing anytime soon.
2/2
The hydra regenerated, and the wizard sent it at them again. They killed it again, burned the body, took the ring, and moved camp again. The wizard raised the hydra as a zombie and sent it at them a third time, just before dawn. They managed to kill it... just. And revive the party members who dropped in the fight.
That was so much fun...
Most memorable ENCOUNTER
When 3.0 first came out I had a couple campaigns going, and in 1there was an evil wizard who wanted to take out the party. It charmed a hydra, slipped a ring of regeneration on its toe, and sent it after the party as they were down for the night. They killed it, moved camp (who wants to sleep next to the corpse of a hydra?) and bedded down.
1/2

Never did wrap this up here.. but I did on my blog, so here's the rest of them:
SCARIEST game you've played
I can't think of a scary game that I've played. I've played games with scary monsters, I've played games as scary monsters, but I've never myself felt scared.
Good Morning fellow Mastodonians!
During #rpgaday2023 #AliceIsMissing was often mentioned as a game.of interest. Looks like #drivethrurpg was listening, 'cos they now offer PDF and Roll20 VTT versions in one 20% off Bundle!
(I'm in no way affiliated with any third party, just considered it as a very interesting game and supported it via Kickstarter back then...)
Not that I *need* #rpgaday2023 or anything but it really up'd my Mastodon interaction. It is interesting this is really the only platform that I talk about my love of #rpg .
Like, I'm really close to finishing the trilogy for Party First. I have two more 'intro' adventures I'd like to write. One for the aforementioned Party First and one for Goblyn Market. After that I have a clean slate!
Anyone need an adventure written for their game out there? Very reasonable pricing!
And for today's RPG a Day 2023, 12)!
Old game that I still play... That is a very good question, as most of the games I play are quite recent. I imagine that Call of Chtulhu counts as old, but I play 7th so maybe not, hahaha.
#RPGaDay2023
And RPG a Day continues (for me, as I only post whenever I find some time at work) so... Today is 11) Weirdest game I've played.
That is a very good question. To be honest, I think the most "normal" game I play is Legend of the 5 Rings 5e, the rest of the games I usually DM go from Call of Chtulhu to Numenera to Into the Odd so... Mostly on the weird end of the spectrum.
But I think the weirdest one (and most bizarre) was a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure I ran for my friends in 2020 for a year. I used the Cypher System, modified it a bit and made a "sequel" to Steel Ball Run in the 1960s, where one of the players was J(Joestar)FK and his top security man (William Greer, another player) had prophetic dreams about the demise of JJFK. Turns out that the Majestic 12, the Serpent People (it acted as a sequel of sorts of the campaign The Two Headed Serpent from Chtulhu Pulp where most of the MJ12 are the alternate bad incarnations of the PCs of the other campaign), the guild of Assassins (who had a member infiltrated on the PCs' group) and a part of the US Government wanted him dead.
Every PC had a Stand, most enemies had one, there were also vampires and I basically mixed every conspiracy theory I know.
It was weird, indeed.

And the last two prompts for #RPGaDay2023 :
30: Obscure RPG I've Played: Most likely that would be Expendables by Stellar Games. Played about three or four sessions in the mid-'90s. Lost the rulebook in a rented-storage mishap.
31. All Time Favorite: I haven't played it in a few years, but my heart still belongs to Teenagers from Outer Space.
And that gets us to the end of August, just a few days into September.
#RPGaDay2023 wrapup, part 2 of 3:
28. Scariest game I've ever played: Probably the top 5 have all been Call of Cthulhu sessions; it's the only horror RPG I play, and nothing else has really come close for scary.
29: Most memorable encounter: I was in a Pirates of the Spanish Main campaign several years ago, and our little sloop crew got crosswise of one of the campaign's leading pirates and his ship, which was at least frigate-sized. We knew we couldn't outrun or outgun it, so we tried to make him run his ship aground in the shallows and, meeting with success, managed somehow to burn it to the waterline. Then we caught up with the fellow on the island we'd been chasing around and went full Ender Wiggin on this guy, whom the GM had been building up as one of the biggest, baddest captains in the whole Black Brotherhood, and of whom we were frankly scared shitless. The GM was somehow not expecting this approach.
