Media & Mayhem / Re: RPGs You Play

« on: June 20, 2010, 06:21:49 pm »

Yeah, the fact I had to dig through the rulebook every time someone wanted to use a spell was kinda why my SR game fizzled, badly. I'm so glad the most badass member of the group was a largely cybered-up dwarf with twin shotguns and shock-pads in his hands. The guy who played him is planning on doing his own campaign, although seeing as he's mostly just done D&D before I'm a little cautious.

It's a shame really; WoD (old or new, I love them both) is a really good example of a quick, simple dice pool-driven game, despite a few flaws. The similar mechanic is what drew me in to start with, actually... XD

Playing, or running?
I've only ever played two RPGs personally. The first was an all-human nWoD game, which I really didn't see eye-to-eye with the ST over (probably the reason why my games tend to be fast and loose with the morality stat, houseruled for even nastier combat and slightly less crazily-plotted) and a D&D 4e session that became a disaster, mostly down to me picking one of the least newb-friendly classes ever, constantly failing to land a single blow on a faceless, 1-hp goon and then really not getting on with the drow sorceress in the party (in-character, that is; the girl who played her is actually kinda awesome).

Seems I'm doomed to be the guy running things, although one of my friends who tried Shadowrun thinks he has a good enough grasp of the rules to try running that...

Introductions / Re: Why, hello there!

Ooh!
I'd love to go to one of those, but they're a little out of my price range for me this year, especially considering I'd need two flights. Maybe in 2011?

Thanks for the warm welcome, and I'll definitely let you know how a quick Bebop turns out for me and my buds.
...Also, can you see the rather obvious mistake within my first post? I wrote it at stupid o'clock in the morn, so that's probably why...

Introductions / Why, hello there!

« on: June 10, 2010, 07:03:21 pm »

I would have introduced myself sooner, but I've been rather busy with much less fun things, like coursework. D:

Anyway! I'm quite new to the world of tabletop RPGs, but when I heard about BHB I couldn't help but be fascinated. I've always loved sci-fi, although I've not ran a game with it in yet (I spent an age tracking down Cyberpunk 2020 only to have it languish in my bookshelf; the only games I've ran for my friends are World of Darkness and a short-lived stint on Shadowrun).

Perhaps when I'm done with the campaign I'm doing so far, I'll see if I can convince my usual group to give this a whirl.
But... yeah. Hi!
