    1. FIRST RPG played (this year)
      Beginning with a double whammy. First played (at all) is DnD 5e, the gateway system being the gateway. First this year (checking calendar) also DnD 5e since the first Tuesday was before the first Friday (Torchbearer night). That Tuesday group have been together for probably five years now. Thinking that being a good track record for an online group of strangers.

    2. First RPG GAMEMASTER
      D&D 5e. Gateway drug being gateway drug and wanted to see if I could. Well, I could.
      This year - Blades in the Dark. This game is run as the tertiary game in my D&D group so we have something to do when the DM is away.

    3. First RPG BOUGHT (this year)
      Went though my account and saw HumbleBundle January 1st and got excited, but it was just the bank date. Humble’s purchase date was December 30th. It was the #Vaesen & #ForbiddenLands bundle.
      A bit further I found an 11SEK purchase from Drivethough on the 10th. Apparently it was a sale going on the then as I got #BasicRoleplaying for 1US$. Kind of a steal. Have yet to actually download the PDF and read anything. Just an offer too good to pass by.

    4. Most RECENT game bought
      July 8th Swords of the Serpentine. A #gumshoe Sword and Sorcery game. Bought it for the #swordandsorcery wibes but will run it because Gumshoe looks pretty awesome.

    5. OLDEST game you’ve played
      7th Sea (1999). Nothing else comes close. Ran a kind of long Thea-throttling campaign. Enjoyed the system but wouldn’t return to it. We tried 2ed when it came out but it wasn’t for us. We did swap Thea over to 2e though for the cleaner lore.

    6. Favourite game you NEVER get to play
      After a fair bit of thinking as what I want to play I just run I’ve come to an answer. And that would be some Runequest (or mythras) in Glorantha. Buuut with a GM and other players that are really into it. Aaaaaand really leaning into the cult and mystic side of it. Yes, I think that would be my white whale.
