I'm gonna make a PC for every game I own!

I'm going to create a PC for every game I own. I need to honor all those lonely forgotten games on my shelf.

I've posted the first one, a Powers & Perils character, to my blog.

Check it out.

Re: I'm gonna make a PC for every game I own!

I was actually thinking about doing something like this myself, if for no reason than to force me to crack open those games I've not even read properly (or at all )

Edit: If I actually did it I'd end up making... over 100, but I don't know the exact number after that...

Re: I'm gonna make a PC for every game I own!

Cool, if I would do this, I would make... 4 PCs... 5 if I include the game I got on the computer...

I know I'm poor...

Re: I'm gonna make a PC for every game I own!

Would we be splitting up settings as different games as well? I mean to say, would Eberron and Ravenloft be considered different games, or would they both fall under D&D?

I'll have to remember where to find my old Blogspot page...


EDIT: And I guess I would ask the same question about the Exalted fatsplats...am I overthinking this?

I'm going to be doing it as one PC per system, as opposed to setting. To make things easier on myself, I might even stick to the same basic character/concept for the whole thing.

Re: I'm gonna make a PC for every game I own!

I gotta say, that's a noble, and honoraable goal right there. Give those dusty volumes some time to air out.

Re: I'm gonna make a PC for every game I own!

How would treat generic roleplaying systems like Fudge, Gurps, and Heroes?

They're not the same system, so make one for each.

You misunderstood me.
Gurps is a generic system with no standard genre, With Gurps you can do pirates, fantasy wizards, sci-fi explorers, etc... There's no set genre for those generic systems.
