kadrinRecently I had to make a quiz for people. And folks love answering stuff on the Internet. So, hey - a bunch of phenomenally dorky quiz questions about pen-and-paper RPGs.
1. Which RPG ranks its multiple-per-player characters as "Magi", "Companions", and "Grogs"?
2. Which RPG, written by Ryo Kamiya and translated by Ewen Cluney, is one of the first RPGs to be officially translated from Japanese to English?
3. What title refers to both a) a fast-paced action RPG based on Hong Kong movies and b) interior decoration?
4. Which card game was the above game based on?
5. If I was a courtier of the Crane Clan in Fake Japan, and I realised I was in a legend, how many rings would this legend have?
6. Which popular storytelling indie RPG recently released a "Companion" for which Wil Wheaton wrote the foreword?
7. In which Savage Worlds setting does an omnipresent light cause transformative madness in its citizens, and also elves are jerks?
8. Which indie RPG - which uses FUDGE dice as part of its system - spawned the catchphrase "love is my weapon" despite being extremely dark and depressing?
9. Ignoring Essentials (as all civilised people do), in Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition, which party role CANNOT be filled by a Martial class?
10. Which PDQ System game, based on a popular Internet site and published by Aethereal Forge, includes the suggested job title "Deliverator"?
11. What is the provocative, all-lower-case name of the animal-unsafe RPG written by Dee Vincent Baker before the transcendent "Dogs in the Vineyard"?
12. Which popular game by Ron Edwards, designed to deconstruct the "hot babe in chainmail bikini", uses a mechanic called Scale to determine how much the players' actions can effect?
13. Which RPG, written by Jason L. Blair and published by FunSizedGames, is pretty much exactly like Stephen King's It but more so?
14. Which superhero RPG was also released in a DC Comics favoured edition called "DC Adventures"?
15. Which pen and paper RPG based on an incredibly popular console RPG is being released in five-level "sets", apparently purely to annoy me?
16. Which currently popular storytelling game creates a timeline of events by laying out cards?
17. Finish this Eclipse Phase tagline: "Your mind is software. Program it. Your body is a shell. Change it. Death is a disease. Cure it. Extinction is coming." ...?
18. "Coronets But Never Crowns" is a supplement for which game?
19. In Unknown Armies, how many archetypes must ascend to the Invisible Clergy in order to end the world?
20. If you have just rolled 3d6 for all your stats, and they've come out all 18s, and everyone therefore expects you to play a paladin but you really wanted to play a wizard, are you wasting your life?
