Started RPG in +- 1994 ( univ): Warhammer V.1
Played:
Warhammer version 1 and 2 (several years)
Call of Cthulhu (from time to time)
Rifts (short period)
Cult (perhaps 1 year)
Elric (Stormbringer) (several years)
Pendragon (from time to time)
D&D 3d and 4th edition (several years)
Pathfinder 3.5 (1 year and ongoing)
Dark Heresy ( +- 3 years).
Favorite RPG: Warhammer V2 (simple, fast paced combat system, Dwarfs, well known world)
Least favorite: Pendragon (too much bookkeeping, you die too easy, no Dwarfs)
Why RPG?
-Good excuse to see friends again.
-Great atmosphere (beer, chips…)
- Building/planning a character/career is fun (bit of mini-maxing combined with some fun background).
- Strange and absurd situations that occur through interaction between characters are a lot of fun.
- Dwarfs
Some turn offs:
- Too long monologues
- Power-playing (especially if someone else does it)
- When the party splits up and you have to wait a long time before you do things.
- Elves
