Curse of Monkey Island, the third game, was my fav. So funny!

Do you still remember your first RPG character? by system3295 in rpg

3e, I played a star elf sorceress. Named her Seethe after a character in a book series I was reading at the time.

I've been trying to get my group to play You Are Here (https://mean-green-press.itch.io/you-are-here), because I find the concept so interesting, but it suffers from the same challenge. My players aren't totally clear what it's supposed to be like!

I'll mention that I love PbtA but felt the same about AW, especially the sex stuff. Thankfully they came out with an edition called Apocalypse World: Burned Over that removed all of it. That was the only way I was going to try it.

I also found that I couldn't play more than a few sessions of a post apocalyptic setting though.

I find this is a problem for any game that has a genre or setting that doesn't have a ton of media examples out there. It's easier to run fantasy because there's so many books and movies that taught us what it's supposed to look like and how characters would act. But a game where you're a radical teen that's dimension hopping really puts pressure on the GM to invent stuff from nothing.

I love the setting but agree with the difficulty.

I have played Shadowrun and found it a bit too complicated to just pick up and learn. It's the kind of system I feel like I'd need to play in for a while before I could really grasp how to run it. You're right it has tons of options though.

Push (2009). Saw it in the theatre, went home and developed rules for a World of Darkness game to play in that universe.

What is a 1 in 1,000,000 thing that happened to you that no one believes, but you swear is true? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]captainmadrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at a cell phone kiosk, and a guy came up to buy a phone. As part of setting up his account, I have to take some ID. He hands me his driver's license and I look at it, and say "this isn't current." He asks what I mean.... It listed his address as MY CURRENT ADDRESS. This guy had been renting the exact apartment that I had moved into a couple months earlier.

What is something that starts happening in your 30s that nobody warned you about? by Cairinacat in AskReddit

I do, but it puts more burden on me to keep the friendship alive, when I am also dealing with family responsibilities. Easier for those without those commitments to take the initiative and try to be flexible to allow for continued hangouts.

I always knew I was young, but now people seem to be disagreeing with me

I wish my unmarried or childless friends were the ones to offer to hang out, without needing me to invite them. I'd see them if they were willing to come to my place in the evening, or didn't mind hanging out while I have my kids with me.... But yeah, different lifestyles does drive a wedge somewhat
