Mar. 11th, 2006 11:18 amThis took forever to fill out, so I have to post the results.
I do have a complaint. The Systems Knowledge is apparently based on how many different systems you're intimately familiar with. Over the years I've played or gotten into a dozen or so systems, but I usually wind up getting into them pretty deep -- collecting every Teenagers From Outerspace book I can get my hands on (why isn't that game on the list anyway?), collecting every anime-related gaming system and all supplements I can find (and authoring a web page on anime gaming), playing in a GURPS or a Traveller or an AD&D campaign for years -- or Gene's Superheroes campaign -- and yet my systems knowlege purity is scored very high because I haven't played or read most of the games they list.
I should get bonus points for some of the really awful games I've bought or read the rules for. Worldtree, for example.
Well anyway, it's all subjective based on the answers I provided, and I was pretty liberal with the answers. I've played RPGs for... well since 1979 I think. I was very heavily into them for many years, most of my friends are people I've gamed with or even met through gaming. So on a lot of questions I would answer yes if it sounded like something I'd done, whether I remembered the acutal incident or not.
I'm certain Gene would score VERY low on the GMing section... not that I necessarily reccomend anyone else take this quiz, it takes 15 minutes or more to get through it.
