Tabletop rpg meme
May. 11th, 2011 01:07 pmHow I get into tabletop rpg.
I discovered tabletop rpg on my own on the Internet. The game is Top Secret S.I., a 80's spy rpg game. It's my first love - I plays with the character generation for minute. My first game, though, was a super game that I played with my brother using rock, scissor and paper to decide on result. I was GM then, and the trend continued.
generic or specific system?
Both have their place, I think. It depends which one is suitable for the setting I'll use
Fantasy or sci-fi?
Sci-fi. Because I like to explore the future and technology in games.
random or point-buy character generation?
I like to have some control in the character, so I prefer point buy. But random power for superheroes can be fun too.
crunchy or rule-light?
I'm lazy so I appreciate anything without much prep-work.
Style or substance?
I am know to be lured to RPG with good layout, but I also happen to think the brievity of GURPS book is a great style, so.
Narrative or simulationist?
I prefer narrative more because I can wing more things easier.
GM or Player?
I want to be simply a player, but so far I can't find people to GM for me.
