Thanks for hosting @mage and hello everyone to this fine hobby weekender.

Let’s start with the questions:

1.) Oh yes, many of them! I started playing those even a bit before tabletop miniature games. And i never stopped. My first two RPGs were Das Schwarze Auge (something like the german D&D) and Shadowrun. Soon after those came Mechwarrior and The World of Darkness. Sometime later D&D and lots and lots more. But my alltime favorite will always be Legend of the Five Rings. Thats why i was so happy to get my beginners box for the newest edition in the mail. I’m really tempted to try and find a way to maybe GM the beginners adventure in some way around here for some of the community.

2.) Let’s see. For more strategic games i would recommend the new Battletech if you like your mechs and turn based combat. I really like that game. Or maybe rather the “new” editions of X-Com if you like to go alien-hunting with a small squad of soldiers, that could die in any mission if you’re not careful enough. Total War Warhammer 1+2 are also nice, i just wish the combat was turn based and not real time. If you’re looking for something that will eat your time as if it was nothing and if you wish to build your own interstellar empire i would recommend Stellaris. At the moment i’m playing it with a race of sentient robots that want to share their blessings with every other species in the known universe, by converting them to cyborgs. And NO they’re not called the Borg!

3.) since i’m a total noob with this topic i can’t say if it is or isn’t, sorry.

4.) at the moment i’m just happy if i manage to get a game in from time to time. But i would prefer them t be narrative or campains, i just love to tell storys.

5.) so far i haven’t been to one of those, but i hope that i’ll manage to do it some day.

Allrighty, with those our of the way, let’s listen to some music:

and to mix it up a little bit:

Hobby pledges:

– read more Legend of the Five Rings (L5R) to get ready to GM it for some friends

– play a bit more of AoS Champions on my so called “smart” phone

– try to build something with this:

the end result will hopefully be some kind of giant orcish drum … and yes i’m trying to put my idea into reality.  Hopefully i’ll be able to grab the Warchanter from my local store tomorrow.

And lust bot not least, a bit of commenting:

@mage what a way to start the music for this thread, it’s hard to beat those … or rather imposible!

@a27cromwell wow that was an interesting read and i learned a fair bit thanks to that. So thanks for expaining and sharing!

@elessar2590 you really should look at the newest edition of L5R, so far i like it a lot. And well the setting is still the same, they just moved their iteration down the timeline a lot, to the point where the first edition of the CCG and the RPG were set too. So you could call it a restart i guess.
