Feh. Ask me stuff, I’m feeling isolated.
1) Darkest comedy you've ever liked?
2) Absolute bottom of the barrel least favorite RPG ever?
3) Favorite sauce?
4) Least favorite man-made object that's supposed to be a convenience but isn't?
5) Favorite non-battle historical incident pre-1900?
@zebratron2084 2) Legend of Five Rings. I *vaguely* remember the rules as obtuse. I definitely remember them showing rules creep and favoritism. The setting’s supposed to be “Asian” but don’t hope for wuxia action or Romance of Three Kingdoms epic, since it’s all Sengoku Japan as parsed by an American VtM player. I’ve played this only once and don’t mind never revisiting it.
@Leucrotta Oh, man, that was a bit of a shock to my system because I LOVED L5R when it was just a card game, and the ornate changing world was a bit part of that. But in retrospect, yeah, SUPER problematic Western "oriental adventures" cultural tourism, a real shallow go at being anything remotely resembling Japanese. Reminds me a lot of some of the EXECRABLE worldbooks that were published for the Torg RPG. (The Japanese on the cover of the Nippon Tech splatbook was REVERSED ffs... *sigh* )
@Leucrotta (NTM, lots of interior art whose "Japanese" consisted of "random chicken scratches arranged vaguely in the shape of That Furrin' Nonsense Thems Jap People Raihts." A vision of Japan that was 50% Shinto monk, 50% ant-like sarariman, and 50% ninjamurai. Tom Clancy would've been proud. *sigh* )
