hmm sooo.

I've managed to accumulate a non-zero number of people who play tabletop rpgs on here, I think.

So, question - what game/s are you playing at the moment? What's your favourite character you've ever played?

For me, I... made a whole post about this a while back, so I won't bore you with what games. In terms of favourite, I don't know, Quae is making a convincing bid, but I'm gonna go with Kehurie Tanok Lumina, my lightbringer; ze was a hero in a world that sorely needed them, a lover, a fighter, an idealist haunted by the evil ze had been and done, who stood up against impossible odds and won - but in the doing lost everything. Kehurie, it turned out, could save everything except the people close to zir. Zir relationship was beautiful but deeply, deeply star-crossed.

Yeah! I've had his page bookmarked and I've been meaning to look at his other stuff for a while.

Honey Heist is really fun! It's low prep for everyone involved which I like a lot.

The only one I've actually run is One Last Job, which was utter carnage - the early scenes feel really easy (one of my players decided he wanted to keep upping the stakes and giving me more dice as a result) and the final one was just. the Most. I was rolling like 24 dice against their 7. I had to get the NPC'd player to help me roll because my tiny hands physically couldn't hold that many dice. I had to fudge the rolls to avoid a TPK and there was still only one survivor. They got horses onto the roof of Westminster Abbey and flew off in a flat-packed helicopter, fighting Helen Mirren.

holy shit, that sounds really intense. I love how summaries of games sound very ridiculous to people without context even if it's a fairly standard setup (i.e., adventuring party goes off to save the world by slaying monster)

One Last Job was my birthday game. We laughed a lot; they started from the premise 'we're here to hijack this royal wedding' and it got More from there.

God, that thing with game summaries is so great... There's no such thing as a game that cannot or will not dissolve into shenanigans at the slightest provocation.

Holy shit we should start a 'describe your game/s in one sentence, as shittily as possible' thread because those are always fantastic.
