"First RPG played (this year)?"

#Pathfinder second edition. @JoeF has been running a campaign set in Ustalav (aka gothic horror land) for the past year of so.

First RPG I ever played was #GURPS two decades ago. And while I had my problems both with the GM's style and the rules themselves, I was forever hooked.

EDIT: I've added an image with all the questions for this year's RPG-a-Day AND added all the questions in the image description.

Day 2 at #RPGaDay2023

"First RPG GAMEMASTER?"

My first Game Master ran a fantasy game using the crunchiest, most simulationistic version of GURPS rules possible. Square roots were involved. Accidents turned player characters quadriplegic.

And yet, even after two years of that, I somehow still remained enthusiastic about #ttrpg.

As for the first game *I* game mastered (these questions are a bit imprecise), I ran D&D 3rd edition around three years after I first started playing tabletop rpgs.

"First RPG bought (this year)?"

First RPG books I bought this year were the #Midderlands setting books by #MonkeyBloodDesign: a wonderful OSR-like game set in a green, gloomy, fantastical version of 17th century England.

As for the first RPG book I ever bought, that was #Eberron Campaign Setting by @hellcowkeith back in 2004. This remains by far my favorite D&D setting, with its mix of fantasy, pulp action, steampunk, and noir.

Most recent game bought?

Most recently, I bought the game Tiny Pirates. It is one of the several #TinyD6 products I own.

While this game specifically is oriented towards playing 17th century pirates, the system is flexible enough that there are versions for playing #Cthulhu games, #western, #Fantasy, and so on.

While I still haven't actually ran a TinyD6 game, I am... cautiously optimistic about this.

Day 5 at #RPGaDAY2023

Oldest game you've played?

GURPS third edition was the first #ttrpg I played. That was around the time I was just starting college, around the year 2000.

From there on, I started playing a D&D 3rd edition campaign set in the world of Legend of Five Rings. By 2003 I was ready to run my first D&D one-shot that turned into my first campaign.

"Favorite game you never get to play."

Well, I'd really like to play in a #steampunk game, or a #pulpadventure game, or Jazz Age #CallofCthulhu game... But since the people I've played with were never really into running those things, well, I ran games like that.

So, in a way, I get to play games that I enjoy, but only as a GM.

@Glupinickname I can recommend SLA Industies - it’s either a dark, bloody horror or a piss-taking sci-fi parody, depending on your DMing. πŸ˜πŸ‘

@benjamincox So, I'm reading a description of SLA Industries RPG on Wikipedia.

I'm not really sure how does it in any way relate to the kind of things I'd like to play in. πŸ˜…

@Glupinickname Still a good game, though. Sorry!
@benjamincox No problem. Stay safe. :-)
@Glupinickname Working on it, my bug-eyed friend! You too
