1) RPGs, definitely a fan of the fantasy genre through many campaigns of D&D. I’m definitely a fan of the old roll&keep 7th Sea and Legend of the 5 Rings. I miss 2nd ed. Vampire the Masquerade as it really had great things going with their clans and it made me look at their other games before it all got nerfed. I’d like to get into Changeling: The Lost as it has sooooooo much potential for good gaming.
15 points, very interesting and well thought out. Know anything about minds eye theatre?
2) A good computer game to recommend… how about two series. First, is the Deus Ex franchise that really broke the mold in FPS style gaming that built a huge cyberpunk world and rewarded players more for cloak and dagger action. The second is the Alone in the Dark series. I can only speak to the quality of the first one in a 3rd person Lovecraftian puzzle heavy game. It definitely got my head in the right place as a young kid for the later introduction to Silent Hill.
I have one of those games, cant remember which. Lots of fun.
Never played alone in the dark, I know there was crap movie of it haha. I like lovecraft, hm, might be worth checking out. 10 points
3) Kitbash/convert-yep.. same thing. Speaking of cutting figures in half….. I’ve had this project on my shelf for a while but I took a pair of Reaper figures and began modding for a 1930s sideshow display. From the waist up Yvette, Magician’s Assistant by Bob Ridolfi (50125) and from the waist down Gretchen, Oktoberfest Fraulein by Werner Klocke (50118). I just recently saw a video on a potential way of sculpting curtains without too much fuss. The last time I tried I was quite upset at my sculpting skills.
Ah that’s what those female minis are.
4) Narrative play was interesting in Legend of the 5 Rings as it tied into the CCG tournaments. It turned out more like a living RPG storyline from tournament results. I did play a little into the 7th Sea narrative as the GM was a member of NOM (Novus Ordo Mundi) that was a group of GM s that submitted their campaign results to AEG.
Can you explain that in more detail, it sounds fascinating and I have no familiarisation or knowledge of said games. 10 points.
5) Not a bootcamp attendee… flights/lodging are pricey and time from work would mean I lose the roof over my cat and me.
Yeah it can be costly to travel far afield with anything. 5 points.
Internet connection is bad with the weather, I will check the music out later 😉 for now though, 50 points for it all, great effort!
