Yeray ✏️ ✂️ 🎲<p>JUEGO/PARTIDA QUE HA DADO MÁS MIEDO</p><p>La traducción de "Game" es polisémica. Como no tengo claro el «juego que da más miedo», diré partida.</p><p>La partida que he jugado con una sensación de miedo y amenaza más clara fue a Ars Mágica hace ¿cuatro años? Nuestros personajes, poderosos magos de la Murcia del s. XIII, se colaron en los reinos feéricos de El Coco, que a ojo es... un coco, pero encarna el miedo mismo. Virtualmente invencible, completamente alienígena y desalmado. Un terror.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/RpgADay2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RpgADay2023</span></a></p>
Kadomi<p>Tag 31: Favorite RPG of all time</p><p>Das ist natürlich schwierig, Geschmäcker ändern sich natürlich.

Das Cypher System ist nicht perfekt, aber das Setting und das Artwork haben mich damals umgehauen, und tun es heute noch.

Digital Mark λ ☕️ 🕹 🙄<p>31. FAVOURITE[SIC] RPG of all time.</p><p>Much like your first kiss, first lay, those early games cast a big shadow. So Holmes' "Dungeons &amp; Dragons Basic Set", Gamma World 1st Ed, T&amp;T, Fighting Fantasy, Palladium Fantasy, Stormbringer 1E, Call of Cthulhu are all contenders.</p><p>And probably what I've had most fun with is Tunnels &amp; Trolls. If I was taking one game with me, it'd likely be T&amp;T (but which ed‽ Maybe just City of Terrors gamebook).</p><p><a href="https://appdot.net/tags/rpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rpg</span></a> <a href="https://appdot.net/tags/ttrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ttrpg</span></a> <a href="https://appdot.net/tags/rpgaday2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rpgaday2023</span></a></p>
mhd<p><a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/RPGaDay2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RPGaDay2023</span></a> Day 31: </p><p>Favorite RPG of all time: Hmm, we already had our favorite system day, so what's different here? I guess the average between setting and system? I guess "GURPS and a custom-made setting of my own design specificially for the campaign" is a bit of a cop-out. Okay, if we're picking some "complete package", then it's…</p><p>RuneQuest III Deluxe: It's my favorite edition of BRP, which is not that surprising giving my penchant for crunch (and I don't like Mythras' combat in play). And it came with two settings, one barely sketched "Fantasy Europe" that still showed a lot of promise, and one barebones Glorantha, which seems a lot less intimidating if you just have a bestiary and a short booklet about the world. I even liked the physical presentation a lot, although the covers of the booklets were very flimsy. But having separate entities for all the parts just made the experience better, and the general layout was quite good (spot color, decent enough fonts).</p><p>Runner-up might be Artesia, which is actually quite related to RQ.</p>

Rivetgeek (He/Him)<p>Day 30: Obscure RPG I've Played</p><p>This one is a doozy, because I'm sure I've played some pretty obscure RPGs. I think I'm going to go with James Bond 007. Before I started high school I'd spend part of my summers with a family friend, and their teen daughter's boyfriend ran this for me (and Traveller). I don't remember much about it. But runner up might be Star Ace, run by a different older friend. I loved Star Ace.</p><p><a href="https://dice.camp/tags/RPGaDay2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RPGaDay2023</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/RPGaDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RPGaDay</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/ttrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ttrpg</span></a></p>

Digital Mark λ ☕️ 🕹 🙄<p>30. OBSCURE RPG you've played.</p><p>Modern stuff's never obscure, it's all easily searched for. Back in the day, at best indie stuff would be a samizdat zine, or posted to USENET, a mailing list, or some GeoCities page.</p><p>But I'll go slightly up from "nobody's heard of this" to "nobody's played this in 25 years": Ysgarth. It's a typical overly crunchy BRP-ish d100 game of the early '80s. At least 6 editions, and a "lite" game Oroborus which is still heavy.

mhd<p><a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/RPGaDay2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RPGaDay2023</span></a> Day 30</p><p>Obscure RPG you've played: This is probably an easy question to "game", if you just use a homebrew game or even setting. Or NSR/OSR (Durf?). Or, heck, from a global perspective I could just name <em>any</em> German game, even if it's rather common here (e.g. Midgard).</p><p>But I'm trying to be positive in these daily tasks (why do this if you're fighting the premise most days), so I'm trying to spotlight yet another weird game from my collection. If it's just obscure game I <em>own</em>, this might be even weirder.</p><p>I actually did play <em>Hyperborea</em>, the German edition of the French <em>Bloodlust</em>, where the game features a lot of chunky barbarians fighting it out in a bloodsoaked world. But wait, there's a twist: You're actually playing their weapons, Stormbringer-style (the weapon, not the BRP game). </p><p>It's a weird premise, but a rather trad game. It basically protects you a bit from player death and gives you some epic premise, but otherwise won't change the typical "sword &amp; sorcery" adventure that much. From what I remember, the system was quite crunchy and a bit swingy at times (damage could vary wildly). Didn't quite live up to the weird promise.<br>The game was available a-plenty on ebay, so I guess they had a large enough print run, but not that many people actually buying into it. Never seen a supplement or adventure for it, too.</p><p>There's a more recent game with a similar premise called "Wield", which probably goes way more in the psychology and narrative consequences of this, given that it's by John Wick. But, well, given that it's by John Wick, I never was much interested in acquiring it. (Nothing against him, but I've come to know some designers I just don't vibe with. Wick, Edwards, Moran being examples of this.)</p>

Most of my friends don't even know what DnD is. </p><p>But I guess my answer is Brindlewood Baywatch, a pbta game based on the second season of David Hasselhoff's unsuccessful Baywatch spinoff, Baywatch Nights, where off-duty life guards fight aliens and the supernatural.</p><p>I ran maybe three sessions and never released the rules anywhere, so I guess pretty obscure.</p>

Digital Mark λ ☕️ 🕹 🙄<p>29. Most memorable ENCOUNTER.</p><p>Player: Witchcraft, my Revenant caught a possessing ghost, which is what killed him the first time, and dragged us both down onto the tracks of a ghost train which ran us over, "killing" us.

mhd<p><a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/RPGaDay2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RPGaDay2023</span></a> day 29:</p><p>Most memorable encounter: As the forever GM, this is a bit harder, as the element of surprise is somewhat lacking in comparison. I have to give a big shoutout to a recent encounter I had in my The Dark Eye group, where the GM prepared a huge diorama with a three-headed dragon to fight, including half an army of dwarves to help us. After years of online play (and my style at the table more oriented towards scribbles on graph paper), this was quite something.</p><p>The players in my long-running D&amp;D 3E campaign liked talking about a few different ones, like when they caught a White Dragon with a blanket, double-bullseye-critted the allegedly dangerous elven sniper instantly, found out that a protective force field bubble doesn't help if the opponent is telekinetic, never mind that one time where they killed a cleric and then had to scrounge up all their money and more to resurrect him.<br>And then there was the trial with the infamous "Hextor defense", which might count as an encounter, too. (I've had other great campaigns, but this was rather heavy on weird spotlight scenes.)</p>
