[luke]

Time playing Since the game's inception as a Near Future sci-fi thriller and since 98 as a full on Fantasy system.

Play/Run Running a BW Masters campaign, a side campaign from that, a Tiernikan campaign and plotting another Masters side campaign.

brief campaign concepts and how long each campaign lasted Masters campaign has been running since 94. Concept: Transcendence through Suffering. Kingmaker: To overthrow a rigid class system, end institutionalized slavery and install a favorably disposed government (player inspired/driven), For Love and Money: To show the frailty of life and emotion in the face of the unfeeling bureaucracy and the supernatural. Gulmarg: Exploration of racial/cultural divides in a lawless city. Tiernikan/Black Zombies: High Adventure in the Great Outdoors. (And to remind my players that I love them.)

number of characters made I never get to play. But I have made countless characters. Recent additions are Orlando the Troll and Khazmet the Dwarven Liar.

number of characters run I got to play Brian Li-Lung, an AIC in the Norinco Anti-Terrorism Investigations division. He almost lived! (being disappeared to chinese gulag does not count as "living" through a campaign.) Aside from that I just play characters in demos.

I also play Dieter, a super-robot-from-the-future in MSH.

how often one plays monthly Every sunday night from 6 to midnight. More often if possible.

other games played (top three) Paranoia 1st Ed (WEG), Starwars (WEG), and Marvel Superheroes Deluxe edition.

[manveru]

Boston, MA (soon to be CO)

Time playing - bought the game after it hypnotized me in a Harvard square game store about 1 mo. ago or so.

Play/Run - none. I'm moving half way across the country in about two weeks so .. hobby time?? riiiiiiight ... ;)

brief campaign concepts and how long each campaign lasted - well, I've GOT ideas; specifically I want to see what kind of Middle Earth game I could run with it (I have a good feeling about this ;); then I want to do a Barsoom-esque pulp thing; maybe a Hyborian game ... help!!! It's got me!! :shock:

number of characters made - 2 so far; I love life paths and BITS ... :) BITS are the best ...

number of characters run - none .. pity ... :(

how often one plays monthly - none .. pity ... :(

other games played (top three) - A First Age Middle Earth game (set right around the Dagor Bragollach, *cackle*) using Story Engine 2nd Ed. with significant tweaks (primarily setting-support material, as opposed to core mechanic tweaks, although I really like the magic 'system' I came up with); Ars Magica; Adventure!; LotR RPG (Decipher) - ok that's 4, so sue me! ;)

[Jubei2]

Time playing (-ed): Uh, I don't remeber, a year? Maybe two?
Play/Run: Mostly played but ran one game
Brief camapign concepts and how long each lasted: Uh, CAN I sum up my ideas briefly? I'll try. :roll: Northern, maybe scandinavian/medieval europe setting with fueding lords and underhanded poltical subterfuge as a backdrop to a down and dirty, fantasy gangwar where the PCs were cutthroats, stoolpigeons, enforcers, fences and pickpockets. It lasted only two sessions.
Number of characters made: two. A slave made king, and the first summoner in BW
Number of characters run: two. See above for details
Other games played (top three): AD&D second edition - for the past 18 years, mostly as DM; StarFrontiers - ooooooooooooooold school TSR game about a future where humanity has colonized other worlds, made contact with other sentient species, works with them, and now tries to eek out a living doing things like farming, bounty-hunting, and exploring/adventuring, etc.; White wolf's Werewolf:the apocolypse - decent rule system but I think I just lucked out with the group of folks i was playing with.
