~ r o l e p l a y i n g m e m e ~
:: t a b l e t o p ::
First RPG ever played? Traveller, in 1977.
First character? Beowulf Shaffer. based on the Larry Niven character.
Most munchkinny character? Force, in Champions. I disliked the mechanizm of super strength, so I built a character around telekinesis. TK with No Range, Force Field for bullet proof skin, and flight. He also had a couple of ranged attacks bought as energy blasts with against PD and double knock back. Put that all into an Elemental Control, and he had a very low cost.
Most balanced character? Hard to say. Since I'm a Storyteller at heart, my characters tend to have a number of interests beyond their game function.
Most insane character?.Can't remember his name, but I played a Traveller Scout in HS who was a complete nutter. He'd survived ten terms in the Scouts, so i made him several parsecs short of a jump.
Character most ripped off of a tv show/movie/book? That would be Beowulf Schaffer.
Favorite character? Sir Arameth Gridlore, OEG. Traveller character I first built in 1978, and still use.
Shortest lived character? I play Paranoia. 'nuff said. Other than that, a dwarf in a horrible campaign who was killed by the DM's home built critical hit system in a bar brawl. What idiot uses the rules in a meaningless bar brawl?
Method of death for above? Smacked in the face with an empty tankard. It broke my neck. I kid you not.
Most stupid way to die? Drowned in whipped cream. Seriously. That was a weird dungeon.
Best moment? Standing at the Gates of Dorastor, holding the bridge as my companions retreated. With my twin katana in hand, Graf of the Bison Clan was finally re accepted by the Storm Bull, and had the powers of a Storm Khan returned to him. Happily, I embraced my fate as I faced the horde of Chaos boiling out of that foul place. It was a good death. The Bison People will sing my song forever.
Worst moment? One night with a whiny, petulant, power-tripping GM. (Kiri - not who you think.)
Most useful item? Staff of the Magi.
Most useless item? Deck of Many Things
Most evil cursed item? Eye of Vecna. Yes, I got it, and yes, I used it. I was already LE anyway.
Lucky Dice? No, not really.
Most evil GM (and why)? Guy in the Army. Not sadistic, but clever.
Most annoying sidekick? Never really had any, not even in Champions.
Most annoying familiar/animal companion? A parrot. As a familiar.
Character most likely to: go postal with automatic weapons in crowded public places at a second's notice? Iron Horse (Champions) what can you say about a superhero who is a member of the Hell's Angels?
Best line? Too many to count.

snipped because I don't play them.

Best game you ran? Probably the Traveller game in the Army, which lasted for about nine months. The adventures of the Far Trader Chatahooche Maru in Reavers Deep. We did everything, and ot was a great group.
Worst game you ran? Oy. Several convention one shots, and I tried to start a T2K games once..
Character that annoyed you the most? Gregor. My friend C played nobody but Gregor. It was funny for the first 15 minutes.
Player that annoyed you the most? See above. picture a man in his thirties who cannot stop acting like a four-year old.
Character you liked the best? I can't choose.
Player you liked the best? On the advice of my attorney, I'm invoking my Fifth Amendment rights here.
Most cruelly inflicted death? I don't kill pc's capaciously.
Most evil plot? In a GURPS game, I tricked the players into giving Germany the bomb. In 1943.
Best evil GM moment? Way to many to count there! :)
Gamesystem you like the best? GURPS or CORPS.
Lucky Dice? If I'm running Traveller, I have to have my black dice with the red pips.
Best line? (At the beginning of the first session.) "OK. We open as your ship is in approach to Lunion Ground. Suddenly, you lose power."
Best villain? Jarvis Homne, master criminal. My version of Moriarty, he is both an official high in the Starport Authority and master of Lunion's underworld.
:: c o m p u t e r g a m e s ::
Favorite RPG game? Nethack, which is really going to color my answers.
Favorite Character?.Gragnar. You can read his epic here, and the thrilling climax!
Most hated NPC? Not really applicable.
Most useful NPC? ditto.
Most useful skill? Knowing when to save. Playing NH when tired leads to many stupid deaths.
Most useless skill? Not applicable.
Stupidest quest? Sobokon. Gee. I push rocks around..
Best sideplot ever? Not applicable.
Silliest thing ever found in game? While hallucinating, I was seduced by Godzilla. (Actually a succubus)
