In responce to a challange from a porn star...
1. If you had to pick a single invention in a game you were most proud of what would it be?
It would be a toss up between the Filth Pixies (which I need resat and post to this blog) and the encounter suits for the mind flayers.
2. When was the last time you GMed?
Two+ years ago, before I left the states.
3. When was the last time you played?
Two+ years ago, before I left the states.
4. Give us a one-sentence pitch for an adventure you haven't run but would like to.
A heist flick (like Oceans 11 or the Great Train Robbery) as a DnD game.
5. What do you do while you wait for players to do things?
Think about the next things to happen in the game and when and where I will have to hand wave the rules to suit me. Again.
6. What, if anything, do you eat while you play?
Pizza, cookies, chips, the usual.
7. Do you find GMing physically exhausting?
No.
8. What was the last interesting (to you, anyway) thing you remember a PC you were running doing?
Chopping up Strahd with a pair of hand axes.
9. Do your players take your serious setting and make it unserious? Vice versa? Neither?
The last game I ran carried a comedic tone, so they do not need to take it seriously. I work to avoid the serious ones becoming comedy.
10. What do you do with goblins?
This is its own rant, but I find a tacit racism in lots of gaming where certain races are automatically evil. So, I change that and just make everyone automatically neutral. That includes the goblins.
11. What was the last non-RPG thing you saw that you converted into game material (background, setting, trap, etc.)?
A university, and I am working on a series to make an RPG version.
12. What's the funniest table moment you can remember right now?
Nothing specific right now, I am sad to say.
13. What was the last game book you looked at--aside from things you referenced in a game--why were you looking at it?
Last night I was looking at the 4E book of Vile Darkness and Tough Justice, the independent RPG from Ian Warner. I will be reviewing both.
14. Who's your idea of the perfect RPG illustrator?
Various ones, I like Wayne Reynolds, Zak Sabbath and a few others.
15. Does your game ever make your players genuinely afraid?
Not yet.
16. What was the best time you ever had running an adventure you didn't write? (If ever)
Castle Ravenloft was a lot of fun.
17. What would be the ideal physical set up to run a game in?
A large room with a long table, easy access to a kitchen and the bathroom. With someone to give foot rubs.
18. If you had to think of the two most disparate games or game products that you like what would they be?
Something for kids and *anything* from Black Dog Games.
19. If you had to think of the most disparate influences overall on your game, what would they be?
Real life and fiction.
20. As a GM, what kind of player do you want at your table?
Happy ones. One capable of being happy when someone else is happy.
21. What's a real life experience you've translated into game terms?
Hrmm…. Lots of little things.
22. Is there an RPG product that you wish existed but doesn't?
A 4E F.R. book that doesn’t make puppies and kitten cry, a nWoD Wraith book,
23. Is there anyone you know who you talk about RPGs with who doesn't play? How do those conversations go?
I avoid these conversations, actually.
