Plenty, but mostly older ones. I've generally not had the budget (or the time to justify the budget) to keep up with new consoles, powerful computers, or new releases.

One of my old favorites is EarthBound, an SNES-era RPG with a lot of quirky humor and some touching moments. The end made my wife cry.

More recently, I'm a big fan of Undertale, an indie game that plays with a lot of video game tropes and is full of memorable characters, chilling darkness, great humor, and a freaking awesome soundtrack. Oh, and a really well-developed setting that's refreshingly original.

Ironically, I haven't actually played Undertale, but I've watched several different "Let's Play" videos of it, plus lots of fan content.

There's plenty more video games I like, but I'm not going to try to list them all.

Jjjjjiiiiiiiiigggggyyyyyy.

Super-serious series of questions*:

* Nnnnnnope.

If you could have 1d4 ⇒ 1 different super-powers, what would they be and why?
(Assume corollary powers required to make a given power work are part of it; i.e. Since you'd need super tensile strength/durability to, you know, not-die when you made use of your super-strength power, you get them both when you say "super strength" as a singular option.)
Why?

If, instead, you could be a gestalt of 1d2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 super heroes, who would you gestalt to be yourself? Why? Which comic universe would you run around in? Would you prefer to be in that one, or this one?

On the other hand: BAM! You just gained 3d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3, 4) + 2 = 11 levels in a Pathfinder class (or classes)! Which class(es) do you pick, and why? Incidentally, if you could spontaneously switch races, would you? And if so, to which?

Similarly, you won the super-lottery, and gained mythic tiers! 3d3 + 1 ⇒ (1, 3, 2) + 1 = 7 of 'em! (And you gain class levels to match; please feel free to change your previous answer if this does so for some reason.) What path do you take? (Alternate option: substitute a single tier for a simple mythic template.)

Yet another query: you monster. Specifically, you CR: 1d30 ⇒ 3 (or less) monster! Which are you?! ... and would this have been your first choice? If not, which would be?

But the wheels of fate-time have spun again, and your everything has been transposed into that of someone else! You've just become a prepublished NPC from an official source! Which prepublished NPC is it?

What campaign setting do you run around in? Why?

As a final thing: blend any and/or all of the above questions into a single ginormous question: an optional blend of a prepublished NPC, monster, and some superheroes all walk into a bar... and out comes you, as a gestalt of those guys, the race you choose, some extra superpowers, and have extra class levels and mythic tiers on top! What are you?! (Other than "awesome" - naturally.)

Equipment is a non-issue (like adjunct super-powers; what you need to do <X> is assumed). Also note that any significant others can be brought with you.

"Official" and "Pre-published" are loose terms, but general expect something that has a solid publishing company and identifiable map/world/conceits behind it (like WotC for Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Dark Sun, Greyhawk, etc; or Green Ronin for Blue Rose, but not "True20"; or Paizo for Golarion, or the Maelstrom, or the upcoming Starfinder; but not "the Bestiaries" or "the Planes" or things like that - basically things that people can find and nerd out about with you). Similarly, if it has a solid AP out for it, that, too, is acceptable (like Legendary Planet; or any of Paizo's APs). It should probably be a d20 variant, but it can be whatever you like of those many variants (True20, Blue Rose, Paizo, 3.5, 3rd; etc.). That said, if a Homebrew or otherwise "weak" entry just needs to be there due to compelling reasons... okay. Similarly other systems (as I know you're a convert to 5e, so if there's a 5e-explicit setting you prefer, let us know about that, instead). Let us know why! Computer and video game translations of such (Neverwinter Nights and/or expansions/sequels; PFO; etc) are acceptable as interpretations as well.

Similarly, for comics, it needs to be superheroes that people can reasonably be expected to come across - "that one I made up with my cousin as a kid" is an awesome answer, and worth noting and why, but prrrrooooobabaly isn't the best choice, unless it's just so powerful that you've GOT to. In which case: sure, but bring us along for the ride! Related, the super need not come from one of the "big two" in comics, so long as the people and world is both recognizes me and accessible - choosing The Incredibles world is valid, as is Spawn (blech); you're not just limited to Marvel or DC. Similarly "standard" powers need not apply - so long as it is clearly communicable, it's fine (even if all the field specifics aren't clear, that's okay - knowing you're powered by our yellow star is fine; you don't need to know this, but it's acceptable if you do).

Finally, presume you have the basics necessary for a happy life. Your spouse, best friend, and so on, can all be considered to "come with you" (should they choose to do so) wherever it is that you go.

Oh, and one more thing: if you lived through a Legend of Zelda (as one of the Links); which would it be, and why?

Thanks! Enjoy!

arnt you a twin cities guy? Any favorite haunts?


So!

Jiggy!

Question time...

Which of:
- Lich
- Zombie
- Vampire
- Mummy
- Skeleton
or
- Ghoul
... and which of:
- Ghost
- Shadow
- Specter
- Allip
or
- Wraith
... and why?

Undead and templates so you can think about all the possible permutations and variants of each kind of each of them before making your final answer. And yes, the questions are that vague. Feel free to interpret what they're actually asking. We shall see how correct you are. Hehehehe...

Also, Psychic or Psionic? Why?

If the former, Paizo or Green Ronin? If the latter, Dream Scarred or Wizards? Either way: why?

(I've been asking this around a few threads. Whee~!)

My wife and I like to grab a game or two (usually some version of Ascension) and go out to the Fantasy Flight Games Event Center. Used to be we'd sometimes get a meal there as well, but we can't do that lately. In fact, even getting out there at all has been difficult lately.

Mummy, along with a gas mask and a question.

Shadow.

Quote:

Because I like terrible puns (especially when combined with referential humor), and because he knows.

Quote:

I know basically nothing about either. So... I'll pick psychic, because it's my favorite pokemon type. ;)

Why?

Thanks to my crappy roll, I guess I'll go with the old standby of telekinesis. (Had I rolled higher, I might come up with some neat combos.) The versatility is near-limitless. It's useful for mundane daily life, such as ALWAYS getting my groceries up in one trip or picking up a fallen pen without bending over; but it's also incredibly powerful if I end up in extreme circumstances (partly because I've taken the time to think about how to apply it; for example, I'm the type of guy who, after watching A:tLA, thought, "You know, if this weren't Nickelodian, water and earth would be the most powerful types of bending, because bullets").

My knowledge of comics/superheroes is mostly limited to some of the big movies of recent years, and I know even less of the universes. Um... Maybe superman (because OP) and somebody with invisibility (because there's not much else left)?

Quote:
On the other hand: BAM! You just gained 3d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3, 4) + 2 = 11 levels in a Pathfinder class (or classes)! Which class(es) do you pick, and why?

A caster of some sort. There's not much need for the martial skillsets in my real life, so I'd be all over the convenience of magic. I might actually go with Mystic Theurge, for more versatility and spell slots, since getting higher level spells probably doesn't matter too much in real life.

Quote:
Incidentally, if you could spontaneously switch races, would you? And if so, to which?

That depends a LOT on how other people would react. I might be able to get away with elf, just telling people it's a really good costume. But it would have to be a 5E elf, as my CON's already so low that switching to a Pathfinder elf might just kill me outright.

Don't know enough about mythic. Probably something to supplement my earlier answer about levels.

Quote:
Yet another query: you monster. Specifically, you CR: 1d30 ⇒ 3 (or less) monster! Which are you?! ... and would this have been your first choice? If not, which would be?

I guess I'd pick an incorporeal undead of some sort. That way, since there's no magic in this world, I'm literally invincible, even if I meet a 100th-level fighter.

Alternatively, a PC race. ;)

Quote:

Can't say I've met many that I've liked (as a person). Maybe one of the Decemvirate, so I can start to straighten things out?

Quote:
What campaign setting do you run around in? Why?

Oh, this would actually change some of my above answers, if this all goes together. That said, I usually run games in homebrew settings (usually somewhat generic, as I prefer event stories over milieus), so I'd probably do the same. Plus, that means I get to make the rules of the universe. ;)

What are you?! (Other than "awesome" - naturally.)

Equipment is a non-issue (like adjunct super-powers; what you need to do <X> is assumed). Also note that any significant others can be brought with you.

Top two priorities are the awareness and utility: the ability to know what's up, and the ability to do something about it. So, some sort of expanded cognitive awareness (at minimum, something like spider-sense; preferably closer to One Piece's "observation haki") plus some sort of flexible/versatile power (such as the above-mentioned telekinesis). Some other conveniences like endure elements would be nice as well.

Also a lack of chronic digestion issues would be nice.

Anything but Ocarina of Time, because f!$% the water temple.


If you could: would you?

But also: if you would: could you?

Quite possibly, but not as often as I might feel like beforehand.

Typically not, but sometimes.

Are you doing okay?

In general, I mean?

Meh. Yes and no.

Most aspects of my life are going great. My wife is happy, my lifestyle is reasonably comfortable, I'm gaming in some form or another somewhat consistently (PbP helps here), etc.

On the other hand, I'm more than two months into an extreme diet trying to find solutions for chronic digestion problems I've had for nearly ten years. The diet is so restrictive that I have to cook literally all my food from scratch, which means that a LOT of my previously-free time is devoted to cooking and shopping. I haven't been to my meatspace D&D game since starting the diet, as it's a weeknight and I'm always either cooking, shopping, or resting up from all the cooking/shopping (with "resting up" including things like "actually talking to my wife, about something other than food"). So that sucks.

Yet despite all the sacrifice and hard work, I'm no less sick. Like, maybe you've heard of an "elimination diet", where you cut your meals down to really basic stuff and then add one thing to see if it makes you sick, then remove it again and introduce something else, and repeat until you've identified all culprits? Well, even that functions on an assumption that the baseline diet that you're adding things to is one where you're not getting sick. The whole point is that you see if a given food item moves you from "not sick" to "sick. Trouble is, in over two months I still haven't found a diet on which I don't get sick. That makes it a lot harder to figure stuff out.

It's like trying to do laboratory experiments without a control group. While sick.

So... yeah.

Getting you to bring out aliases is a job for a superhero!


Really glad to hear about your good stuff!

I'm really sorry about your other stuff. That really sucks big time. I know for me, at least, not feeling well physically can severely negatively impact how I feel about stuff in general; I'll keep you in my prayers.

More on topic: did you know I'm playing Kingmake and loving it?

So what's your favorite anime? Dr. Alphys was telling me about these cool things called anime, which have lots of cool stories. And the best part was that they were all true: everything that happens in an anime happened in the human world for real!
Although the other day she made some joke about anime maybe being fake, like they were works of fiction or something. But I know she can't really have meant it.

That's a really broad question. Lately I've been keeping up with Re:ZERO (though it just finished), Orange, and Sweetness & Lightning. I've also previously enjoyed One-Week Friends, Sword Art Online I & II, Erased, Flying Witch, and (some seasons more than others) One Piece.

You'd probably like One Piece, SAO, and maybe Re:Zero; they've all got a good bit of action (Re:Zero a little less than the others). You might not be so crazy about Orange, Flying Witch, or Sweetness & Lightning, which have no sort of "action" whatsoever.


Two years later: how's life?

Also: have you seen Saiki K., yet?
