Day 1: FIRST RPG ever played (this year)
Heute: Tag 1: ERSTES jemals gespieltes ROLLENSPIEL (dieses Jahr)
Es sind 3 Möglichkeiten vorgesehen:
1. nehmt einfach den Prompt (ohne Klammer)
2. wenn es nicht genug Inspiration ist, nehmt nur den Teil in Großbuchstaben/Fettdruck
3. zur Vermeidung von Wiederholungen oder zum Vergleich mit älteren Teilnahmen könnt ihr das in Klammern ergänzen.
Ich glaube ich werde meist bei 1 bleiben, manchmal noch 3 ergänzen.

Day 2: First RPG GAMEMASTER
Heute: Tag 2: Die erste Rollenspiel-SPIELLEITUNG
Die kursierende Übersetzung von ScarSacul grenzt hier auf die eigene Spielleitungserfahrung ein, das lese ich im Englischen so nicht heraus (sonst würde dort wahrscheinlich "first gamemasterING" o.ä. stehen). Nach meinem Verständnis ist sogar eher "die SL beim ersten Spielen" gemeint, wenn man es nicht selbst war.

Day 3: First RPG BOUGHT (this year)
Heute: Tag 3: Das erste GEKAUFTE Rollenspiel (dieses Jahr)
(Addition by me)
Some ideas to not only post game names today: why? what's special about it? First ever: do you still have/play it?
(Zusatz von mir)
Ein paar Ideen, um heute nicht nur Namen zu posten: warum? Was ist besonders daran? Beim ersten jemals: hast und spielst du es noch?

Day 4: Most RECENT game bought
Heute: Tag 4: ZULETZT gekauftes Spiel
(Der Großschrift-Prompt - die Alternative für mehr Freiraum - könnte auch mit kürzlich/aktuell etc. übersetzt werden)

*intelligenteste, cleverste, smarteste, etc. (bin mir nicht sicher, was die beste Übersetzung wäre...)
#RPGaDay2023 day 8:
My favourite character (mainly PCs) is actually an empty hull.
Predefined as shallowly as possible and ready to be filled with what we discover about their present and past in play.
That's my preferred approach when I'm a player and even more so when I'm GM.
"Don't tell me about your PC, let me get to know them!" 😉
(Or: show, don't tell)
Sadly, I don't encounter many players that like (or at least dare to try) that, too.

Day 9: Favourite DICE
Heute: Tag 9: LieblingsWÜRFEL*
*) streng genommen (aber im Englischen oft falsch verwendet) ist es der Plural (Mehrzahl)
#RPGaDay2023 day 9:
First of all, some kind of randomness (dice or alternatives) is important and is what differentiates #ttrpg from pure storytelling (which is not better or worse, just something else) for me.
Where that randomness comes from, is not that important.
But:
In regards to the number of die faces, d20 was a wise decision for calculation with its 5% steps.
But myself, I prefer the normal distribution of multiple dice.
And of course there are dice sets I like, but they change...
@gorobar
I always despised the d20 for gaming (D&D, I'm looking at you.)
Eons ago, I developed a gaming system that used 3d10. I remember a superhero -based gaming system that used 3d6. Bell-curve gaming much better than the flat d20, IMHO.
Today at #RPGaDay2023:
Day 10: Favourite tie-in FICTION
Heute: Tag 10: liebstes Tie-In-MEDIUM*
* also ein Werk, das von einem RPG abgeleitet ist. Üblicherweise denkt man nach meinem Verständnis des englischen Begriffs "Fiction" zuerst an Geschriebenes, aber eigentlich dürften auch Filme und digitale Spiele mit hineinzählen.
#RPGaDay day 10:
There are tie-ins that I like, sure. But I'm not sure I ever liked one because they are tie-ins. Especially #dnd.
The last #dnd-movie, for example, I would have probably liked better if it had just been some generic fantasy.
The only thing that could count here because of its special setting is a handful of short stories I read from the #WoD #Vampire background (as well as the #vtmbloodlines game). But I don't know that #ttrpg at all, so I couldn't really count that, either.
Today at #RPGaDay2023:
Day 11: WEIRDEST game you've played
Heute: Tag 11: das SELTSAMSTE Spiel, das du gespielt hast
#RPGaDay day 11:
I don't think I've actually played a really weird game yet. Ok, parts of #mutantyearzero's setting have a weird touch. And #nibiru's character backgrounds sounded extremely weird at first read. But they both feel perfectly sensible within their games.
In play, my weirdest experience was a round of #Pathfinder's "We be Goblins" that I GM'd as a filler one-shot between our no-nonsense #PFRPG campaign, when our usual GM needed a break.

Day 12: Old game you STILL play
Heute: Tag 12: ein altes Spiel, das du IMMER NOCH spielst
(Ich glaube bei der Frage bin ich selbst heute mal raus)
#RPGaDay day 12:
The only #ttrpg I currently play semi-regularly is the #savageworlds mod #thabor. So this also makes it today's answer (no, it's not old at all...).
What I would still play is probably everything, given the right circumstances (group, schedule, GM-style etc). But instead of the real old stuff, it's probably more likely it'd be something #osr.

Day 13: Most memorable character DEMISE
Heute: Tag 13: das denkwürdigste ABLEBEN eines Charakters
#RPGaDay day 13:
I'll interpret today's question a bit more freely and decide for an NPC. To be precise, an opponent whose demise 7 years ago I remember better than deaths of my own PCs this year.
It was a really hard fight in #PFRPG, mainly because we were trying to catch him alive for questioning, which was very important for most of our party.
I was fighting him face to face with my paladin, getting beat up badly, not wanting to use my weapon but only shield and fist.
(1/3)
#ttrpg
One die roll later, we turned around to see the person we risked so much to catch him alive bleed to death.
With that, Cadhelm the Paladin had had enough and he finally could not reconcile it with his conscience to fight side by side with such unscrupulous types and he continued his holy quest separately from the group.
(actually I had been tired of playing a defensive lawful stupid in that campaign, but this was a wonderful reason to quit in style).
(3/3)

Day 14: Favourite CONVENTION purchase
Heute: Tag 14: Der liebste Kauf bei einer CONVENTION
#RPGaDay2023 day 14:
The third edition of #beyondthewall's German translation (the first as hardcover iirc) is my only Con purchase to date. I got everyone from the small publisher @systemmatters available at the booth to sign it.
I bought it at the only #ttrpg sales con I ever visited, the last ever #RPC (2018) in # #cologne. While it was an interesting experience, it's not something I need regularly - I much prefer the smaller regional playing cons.
Today at #RPGaDay2023:
Day 15: Favourite Con MODULE / ONE-SHOT
Heute: Tag 15: Liebstes Con-MODUL" / ONE-SHOT
*) d.h. Abenteuer o.ä.
#RPGaDay2023 day 15: I usually attend cons as a player only, usually trying to experience games I don't know yet.
What worked well for me in similar occasions (#freerpgday, spontaneous GMing when all rounds at the con are full) is something in #BeyondTheWall, based on one of the random table modules, but adapted to what comes up in the village and character generation.
My main goal then is to leave room for the players' ideas and go with the flow.

Day 16: Game you WISH you owned
Heute: Tag 16: Spiel, das du zu besitzen WÜNSCHST
#RPGaDay2023 day 16:
Most of the time, I just get what I'd like (or save for it etc.). But sometimes there's stuff that just isn't available or I won't get because it's too much of a hassle (or cost) to get.
Last one among them was #DnD5e that I wanted to get in digital version (#WotC just doesn't offer one I can own and use on my devises as I wish, so I won't get it). Probably I won't buy it in print either, because I'm tired of these business practices.
Today at #RPGaDay2023:
Day 17: FUNNIEST game you've played
Heute: Tag 17: Das LUSTIGSTE Spiel, das du gespielt hast
#RPGaDay day 17:
I haven't tried any #ttrpg *system* yet that would qualify as funny per se (and couldn't really imagine it).
Practically every "normal" round I had (outside horror and things like that) would have its comic relieve moments and I often help create them. But I remember 2 that stand out:
One was the #PFRPG "We be Goblins" session I already mentioned for prompt 11 ("weirdest"). I think the complete session was kind of a comic relieve for the campaign at that point.
(1/2)
@gorobar I'm starting to sound like a stuck record on this platform but – have you ever tried Wushu?
Extremely low prep. Extremely low mechanics. Fiction-first. High-power, low drag. A character sheet will fit on a three by five card with room to doodle. All you need to roll, maximum for any player, is 6D6.
After the first 20 minutes you can probably run it out of your head and focus on the player experience.
@gorobar I am deeply amused at how PbtA has evolved over the years.
I hate Apocalypse World. The mechanics were kind of clunky in the beginning, which no one remembers these days, but the authorial voice was really annoying. It wasn't until evolutionary pressure pushed it through Blades in the Dark that I really started to like where it was going. I still wouldn't run Blades, but I would play it.
But the modern descendents of those games like Ironsworn – now we're talking.

Day 19: Favourite PUBLISHED adventure
Heute: Tag 19: Liebstes VERÖFFENTLICHTES* Abenteuer
* vermutlich im Sinne von "nicht selbstgemacht/improvisiert" gemeint
#RPGaDay day 19:
For today's question I repeat the mention of the #Pathfinder #freerpgday publication "We be Goblins".
I think it is great for many kinds of players - it gives experienced fantasy players a refreshing and funny change of perspective but also is a prime starting point for new players, close to a "tutorial".
Also, I love that it's a straight short adventure with a closed plot line. Not something I'd play every day, but nice for a change.

Day 20: Will still play in TWENTY years time
Heute: Tag 20: werde ich in ZWANZIG Jahren noch spielen
(auch das Englische gibt hier alle Freiheit, auf was man sich bezieht - Systeme, Kampagnen 😆, überhaupt noch?)
I'm over 40 and have health issues, so - who knows if I will even be in 20 years....
Also, for bad experiences in my past (which I won't go into), I can't manage to achieve consistency in my RPing. So there is never a "still" anyway.
#RPGaDay day 21:
None.
There are some RPGs set in licences that I'd absolutely like to try (#theonering, FFG #StarWars and the #Warhammer/ #40k stuff, for example), but I haven't played any yet.
I'm also a little sceptical if it could really work well with so much predefined and probable big differences in prior knowledge between players (very different between the different licenses, of course).
Best variant is probably to just use the setting and stay far away from any VIPs.

Day 22: Best SECONDHAND RPG purchase
Heute: Tag 22: Bester SECOND-HAND Rollenspiel-Kauf
#RPGaDay day 22:
I haven't bought a second-hand product yet. That doesn't mean that won't change at some point.
Why? If I can get something new, I usually buy it new and I usually do not look for older games. I also never really have the opportunity to browse flea markets and am not a collector either.

Day 23: COOLEST looking RPG product / book
Heute: Tag 23: das am COOLSTEN aussehende Rollenspiel-Produkt/ -Buch
#RPGaDay day 23:
Although I don't own it and have only played it (and seen it IRL) once, I must go with #NibiruRPG.
https://www.araukana.com/nibiru-3
It's definitely a "style over readability" product, but the question was "cool looking" 🤷
I found the setting and system ideas in it great, as well, and would happily join a campaign if I had the time and group (I think it doesn't work too well as a One-Shot because it takes too long to really grasp the background and memory mechanics).
Today at #RPGaDay2023:
Day 24: COMPLEX / SIMPLE RPG you play
Heute: Tag 24: KOMPLEXES / EINFACHES Rollenspiel, das du spielst
#RPGaDay2023 Day 24:
Under the right circumstances (group/GM, mood, campaign vs one-shot etc), I can have fun at all ends of the #TTRPG spectrum and I have tried a lot of stuff already.
Simple or complex are just different approaches for different occasions.
I'm also pretty sure this is another topic where people from both sides will explain, at least between the lines, why everyone else is having fun the wrong way and are bad people in the first place. Both extremes can... hate me now 🤷️

Day 25: UNPLAYED RPG you own
Heute: Tag 25: UNGESPIELTES Rollenspiel, das du besitzt
Das ist aber subversiv!
Ich dachte, der Post sollte ausdrücken, dass du keine lizenzierten RPG spielst oder magst.
Moin zusammen, ich habe keine gute Impulskontrolle. Wenn mir was gefällt besorge ich es mir auch früher oder später. Aktuell warte ich auf die nächst Erweiterung für #DieVerbotenenLande .
#RPGaDay2023: Tag 11: das SELTSAMSTE Spiel, das du gespielt hast
Ich meine es hieß "The Elves have Guns", war ein Beitrag zu einer der Tanelorn Chalenges das ich mal geleitet habe, die Charaktere gehören den Naturverbundenen Elfen an und sie erhalten Waffen und Technik die sie zwar ihren Gegnern überlegen macht aber sie auch ihrem eigenen Volk entfremdet. Was soweit gehen kann das sie sich zu Orks verwandeln. #ttrpg #pnpde
