Roleplaying meme
1. What was the first RPG you ever played?
Basic D&D - Red Box Edition
2. How long ago?
1984
3. Tell us something about it?
Three people in school, including Q, played it and our teacher allowed them to run a couple of games for the whole class. I remember some people rolling character stats using a D20 rather than 3D6 and rerolling anything outwith the 3-18 range.
4. How soon after did you start playing a regular session?
Within a couple of months – I got the Basic set for myself during the summer holidays and by the start of the next school year we (myself, the three GMs, one of their older brothers and his friend) were playing almost every week.
5. Which genres have you played?
A bit of everything except post-appocalypse.
6. Which games have you played?
D&D, AD&D, Runequest, Traveller, CoC, Dragonquest (SPI), Paranoia, Vampire, Rolemaster, Star Wars, and probably others I can’t remember just now.
7. Give a list of some or all of the PC's you've played.
Oblib Sniggab – Halfling
Ruth B – Malkavian vampire who accidentally killed another PC while in a frenzy
Esmerelda – half elf magic user / thief
A nameless outlaw – Star Wars
Franz the Short – half elf fighter/ranger
Sebastian Melmoth III – Cthulhu who’s as or more sane than when he started
8. What's your favourite genre?
Fantasy
9. What's your favourite game/system?
Probably Runequest and Dragonquest

Basic D&D
14. How did it go?!
Well enough
15. Which is your favourite campaign that you've GM'ed?
Don’t have a favourite – all have had their good and bad points. Maybe my Dragonquest game would just shade it, as that was the one where I was really doing things in my own style rather than using pre-generated scenarios and material.
16. Do you prefer to GM or PC?
Don’t mind.
17. Which genre that you haven't tried would you most like to try?
Something dynastic or tribal, where the characters are more embedded into a longer-term context, such as Glorantha / Heroquest or Pendragon.
18. Which game/system that you haven't tried would you most like to try?
Glorantha / Heroquest or Pendragon.
19. Do you play a typical character of any kind?
If other people’s responses are a fair indication, usually some sort of borderline psychopath.
20. What do you like best about role-playing?
Storytelling and acting, problem solving, creating imaginary worlds and situations that have real world analogues.
