I've only been involved with a game once. For a grand total of maybe 10 minutes. I made the mistake of mentioning I played through Neverwinter Nights to my colleagues so they thought I was one of them. One night there was such an intense storm going (yes it does rain in Arizona... like twice a year!) so no one could really leave. My 'buddies' decided it would be a perfect oppurtunity to start a new campaign and they insisted I join them as a paladin (because one was needed and none of them wanted to be one). They weren't going to leave me alone and all my projects were done so I gave in and they set up a character for me. So once the things started proper its clarified that it all starts in a brothel so interupt him and say "Well I'm a paladin. I chase all you heatens out and burn the place to the ground." The dm of course objects because the brothel is important to the campaign but I didn't budge because hell if I was going to take this seriously. One of the other members humors me and says "If he can roll a perfect 20 I say let him." lo and behold I did. I smirk and say "Well that was a fast game!" dm finally gets pissed and I was kicked. I'm a terrible person. That sounds more like a terrible group. A good group should know if someone wants to play, not tie them up and lock them into a role. A good GM should be flexible, had whatever was so important in that brothel should have been found OUTSIDE and made sure it would not set off a paladin. Of course I dislike any GM that is so ridged in their plans that reading their notes is like following a FAQs, go over here, talk to that Cleric, dungeon crawl, beat this boss, Rince, Repeat. Kind of defeats the point, might as well play a computer game for that kind of railroading. |

I've heard that Maid RPG is a lot like Paranoia, and that Maid RPG also has chargen compatible with Dark Heresy.
I can think of few things I want to do more than combine all three of these.

I kind of like Nechronica more because it's sort of like Maid RPG but post-apocalyptic and with undead cyborgs and such.  I like the number of Japanese pen and paper games where the DM is playing an actual overlord/god of the setting type character in the game world that ties into their DMing in addition to whatever NPCs the players encounter like in Nechronica, Ryuutama, etc. |

I love games where players can be world shattering death gods yet still be on the bottom rung in terms of the universe, that no matter how much damage one can do, no matter what kind of powers one got there will always be something out there, bigger, meaner and more dangerous, that kind of thing is more frightening than World of Darkness or call of cthulhu to me.
I got to find Nechronica now.

I had a pure evil thought of finding a copy of Nechronica and doing a Fnaf crossover.
The group would ether hang me or laugh.

Anybody into board/card games instead of straight up pen and paper RPGs? I had some friends over the other day and we had a few rounds of Betrayal at the House on the Hill and The Resistance. The week before, we played some Dixit and Phantom Society.

I wound up playing the bad guy in the voodoo doll scenario and I had an absolute BLAST, and would have won except I wound up blabbing a game-changing hint because I was having too much fun with villainous gloating.  |

I got some card games. Once tried to play Illuminati with my group, but half the players were drunk at that time. Afterwards we decided not to have drunken gaming nights ever again.

I love board games. I had an obsession with them at one point, actually: Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne and such are really good non-traditional board games.
On the topic of pen and paper, I once made up my own rogue-lite that was moderately amusing back when I carried dice everywhere. Anyone else ever do anything similar?
I called it "Blind Barbarian," because every turn you'd roll dice, choose a direction to move in, and end by drawing a wall in front of you.
I remember it not being very polished, but I liked the idea of creating walls instead of having predetermined maps.

I like Netrunner a lot, it's like Arkham Horror but with cyberpunk instead of Lovecraft and it doesn't take forever to play a full game with good sized group. I love Small World for how fast it is too.

If you can get past the anthro aspects, HC SVNT DRACONES is fairly good sci-fi rpg. It has elements of Syndicate, Shadowrun, Lovecraftian horror, and bit of Cronenbergish body horror as well.

Yeah, Betrayal is great. Just make sure you don't play it with people who get too serious. Since it's very random, it is unbalanced. In one of the games, the traitor ended up winning on his first turn because there was just no way to stop him. On the other hand, it's possible for the traitor to get absolutely bodied by the others. However, it's that unbalancedness that really makes some hanging-by-a-thread endings really memorable. I remember one time, I was the traitor and on the verge of death, but kept hanging on for several turns. It was super fun because of how ridiculous it was. I did end up losing those. I love board games. I had an obsession with them at one point, actually: Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne and such are really good non-traditional board games. I've spent a lot of time playing the digital versions of those, and Catan. That was really what got me into board games, playing Catan and Carcassonne on the 360. Never got a physical Carcassone, but Catan is really fun and works great as an intro to the hobby. |

Not gonna lie I just love games. I got a new one Grind. It's kind of the answer to Blood Bowl in the same way the maker's Warmachine is to Warhammer. But between work and stuff haven't had a chance to really mess with it yet.
