Who says we can't invent our own ?



A. Are you more of a GM or a player ?
GM

B. The Player Viewpoint (only ignore if you never play):

1. Describe your player style in 10 words or fewer
Plot-focussed, party-pushing, always female characters. Good "details" memory.

2. Do you prefer playing in table-top/freeform/other (please specify) ?
Table-top

3. What is your preferred party size to be in for a table-top game ?
Between three and six.

4. What was/is your favourite table-top game ?
Vampire (Dom's Cambridge game). Although Invisibles and Robomancer are hot contenders.

5. What was/is your favourite freeform game ?
Wessex. Then Thieves Guild II.

6. Which was your favourite one-off game ?
I liked the one where we killed Tony Blair and Bill Gates (Dom was GMing, Chris V, Tony R, Sarah and I were playing)

7. Of the games you have played/are playing in, which :

i. Had the most grand plot ? Fate of Mortals - so far
ii. Had the most player plot ? Vampire (Dom's Cambridge game)
iii. Had the most creative background ? Robomancer (probably)

v. Was the most system heavy ? Alistair's GURPS game
vi. Resulted in the most (in-character) angst ? Vampire (Dom's Cambridge game)
vii. Was the longest (real-time) ? Monde (Swordsmaster I wins if you go by game rather than by the parts I played in)
viii. Was the longest (game-time) ? Invisibles - we went back for the birth of Christ at one point.
ix. Produced the highest character death per session ratio ? Swordsmaster I
x. Had the best party harmony ? Quite a few contenders for this. Possibly Invisibles, possibly Chris' GURPS game.
xi. Had the worst party harmony ? Again, plenty of contenders. Probably Fate of Mortals takes the crown though.

Lack of grand plot, player favouritism, missing the start

Table-top.

3. What is your preferred party size to GM for a table-top game ?
Between four and six.

Difficult one this. Possibly Vampire, although Swordsmaster is likely to take the top spot soon.

(note : only worth answering if you have GMed at least three)

viii Was the longest (real-time) ? Swordsmaster
ix. Was the longest (game-time) ? Mage wins this award
x. Produced the highest character death per session ratio ? Hmmm. I don't usually kill players. A Nottingham murder mystery - we were supposed to have one death and ended up with three (I don't care if this is cheating)
xi. Had the best party harmony ? Mage. Although most were quite good.
xii Had the worst party harmony ? Witchcraft. Although Jez's Postcards character could almost win a solo award.

Players who weren't into grand plot. Or a huge party.

D. Who have you never been GMed by, but would like to be ?
If you include freeforms and one-offs, then I've been GMed by most people. I'll nominate the Liz and Rhi team, I think.

A little.

F. Do you regard Dungeons and Dragons as a Good Thing ?
From a safe distance.
