Tell us about your favorite RPG
character that you've ever played. The Good Doctor Jean
Doughali. Deadlands Classic. A Jamaican-born immigrant to New Orleans,
who practiced VooDoo. His chosen Loa was Ogu, who liked loud noises and
swearing. So I got to swear a whole lot in a Jamaican accent, and carry
a shotgun. Which he wasn't very good at. |

He eventually was turned into a woman,
changed his/her name to Jeanette,
and upon dying was brought back Harrowed and sewn into the torso of
another
PC. His worst nightmare was being devoured by all of the chickens he
had to
use in his VooDoo rituals.
What are your favorite
RPGs? Deadlands (Wasted & Weird West),
Cyberpunk 2020, GURPS, Buffy.
What was your first RPG
session like? D&D 1E, in my treehouse. I don't
remember anything about it at all, except for orcs.

What was
your WORST RPG session like? GURPS Fantasy. We had to
wipe out an entire town, to get an evil warlord on our side to stop the
other three warlords who were invading our dimension. It was all for
the greater good, I promise. So we poisoned the water supply. The holy
man of a nearby city was coming to heal the sick. So we had to stop
him.
We concocted a devious
plan involving an invisible Minotaur standing next to the road, a
Lizardman in the bushes next to him, and the rest of us hiding in the
nearby woods. We would rush out to attack after the others softened
them up.
We all had to get going
soon, but it was cut & dry, we figured we'd be out within 30-45
minutes. Someone even said "how long can combat take?"
|
|
|
Well, three hours and
15 critical failures later, the Lizardman was knocked out in a nearby
field (from the minotaur's first attack, the first critical failure),
the minotaur was searching for his body, everyone except for me was
inside an invisible globed forcefield, and I was invisible and
bleeding to death. How long can combat take, indeed...
Who is
your all-time favorite person to game with? My friend
Brennan. He's a great GM, has some amazing ideas. And running a PC
alongside him is great fun as well. He was the one I was sewn to in
Deadlands.
Do you
have anything gaming-related to plug? I'm looking for
another person to game with, if there is anyone else in this town who
games.
