#RPGaDay2023 #RPGaDay Days 1-7

1) FIRST RPG played (this year)
I started the year playing Classic D&D, delving into Rappan Athuk!

2) First RPG GAMEMASTER

I was my first DM, playing in the tutorial adventure from the 1990 intro box. The first person other than me was my friend Mike who ran me through the intro adventure in the box after I ran him through it.

3) First RPG BOUGHT (this year)

The first RPG I bought this year was the Star Trek core book. THe first RPG accessory I bought was an issue of Delver, a zine for OSE.

4) Most RECENT game bought
Same answer. I haven't been spending a lot on games this year. As it is, I haven't even gotten around to reading the Star Trek book yet.

5) OLDEST game you've played

White Box D&D at a con.

6) Favourite game you NEVER get to play

D6 Star Wars. I got to play it a bunch in High School, and then later played the d20 version, but never got back to the d6 version, and I have a shelf full of stuff for it...

7) SMARTEST RPG you've played

This is a weird question. I think the RPG that really stretched my brain was Nobilis. Not so much mechanically, but from a concept standpoint. Plus it was such a beautiful book. I'm still sad that I sold it off.
