Which RPG do you enjoy adapting the most?

Diaspora? Nah. I play that mostly as is.

Based on actions, it's clearly AW. I wish it was Fiasco, but I've not cracked that nut yet.

I've got several unpublished and probably bad pbta hacks. We've had some great sessions, maybe three or four session mini campaigns. At this point, I'm pretty sure that my hacking makes things worse, but it for sure helps me better understand.

And it's fun, which is the key thing.

Describe a game experience that changed how you play.

While there are a few watershed moments, I'd rather engage with this as my rules of play:
-- The game is a conversation. As such, make decisions that direct the conversation where you find interesting. This includes choosing games -- a game centered around a grocery bags filled with a half a million dollars is probably pretty interesting.

-- The people are more important than the game. As such, have an x-card and proactively watch other's behaviors. We should look out for each other, as it is sometimes easier to see others reactions than your own.

-- Bring it. If you're the MC, facilitate. If you're playing, play hard and know what you emotionally need out of the experience. Bring food or drink to share. Like any social engagement, the quality is dependent on participation and thoughtfulness.

Which 'dead game' would you like to see reborn?

Traveller, because I seem to be writing my own and wouldn't it be easier to have a modern version instead.

What was your most impactful RPG session? #RPGaDAY2017

What was your most impactful RPG session? #RPGaDAY2017

Was it the time Ted Cabeen saved roleplaying (for me) by facilitating Fiasco at a wedding?

Or, was it the time Jason Morningstar ran The Tribunal at Camp Nerdly, handing me Mouse and opening a world of larps?

Or, was it Keeping the Candles Lit with, oh my, Mo Jave, Anna Kreider, and Patty Kirsch, facilitated by James Stuart at Dreamation?

The first had a range of emotion and plot -- that is, it was alternatively happy and sad, with a plot that made some semblance of sense. The second ... I was probably not OK in, and wound up not sleeping. My affect changed dramatically during that game, as I became someone who could not affect her world. The last ... I'm not sure I've ever cried that much, and for sure not around near strangers. It's about the darkest of subjects: jewish women in WW2 on the run from the nazis, doing what they must.

It's got to be one of those, but I cannot tell from here which one had a largest impact. They are measured on altogether too different scopes.

#RPGADay2017 What game I wish was published?

A combination of my two things: Monsterhearts and IN SPACE.

Which means: The Long Orbit by Rachel E.S. Walton.

#rpgaday2017 What published RPG do you wish you were playing?

Let's go with ... Legacy.

I'm reading the second edition now, and really enjoying it. I adore the idea of families, and of having first options that are not violence. And of knowing where you fit in the world, and being able to see how to make it better.

It counts as published if the kickstarter is ongoing, right?
