RPG a Day 2015 Challenge – Day 4

And we’re back… Back to posting in the blog, and back for the next entry on the #RPGaDay2015 Challenge! You can find my previous post here.

Day 4-  Most surprising game

Amber_DRPGSurprise could mean a few things… I’m surprised just how much I liked this game, or how disappointed I was, or how complex, but I’m going on a limb here and go for all three! My answer is, the Amber Diceless RPG. When we played it I had not read The Chronicles of Amber and while I found the concept and the ideas in the book fascinating, we couldn’t wrap our heads around it. We got to the attribute auction and we talked about the game a lot, but never got around to actually playing it. We were younger and I’m sure there was a little gamer ADD involved when a new shinny came around, but to this day I am surprised by the ideas in the book, and sorry I didn’t get to play it!

Thanks for reading, and please share your thoughts, or our own entries, I would love to see what your picks are. Until tomorrow!

Welcome, reader; thanks for taking the time to discover who I am! My name is Roberto, although I usually go by Sunglar online. I am a longtime tabletop RPG player, primarily a GM for the better part of that time; some will say that’s because of my love of telling a good story, others because I’m a control freak, but that’s debatable. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, an island in the Caribbean with a small but active gaming community. I’ve played RPGs for almost 40 years, and for most of that time, I played D&D in all its permutations, including Pathfinder and D&D 5th edition. Other games our regular gaming group plays include Mutants & Masterminds, Castles & Crusades, Savage Worlds, Stars Without Number, Alien, and more. I have played many games through the years and plan to play many more. I am a compulsive homebrewer and rarely play a campaign I have not created myself. You can follow me on social media as Sunglar, and I’m regularly active on Facebook where you can find me posting regularly in the Puerto Rico Role Players group. I am looking forward to hearing from you!
