I'm considering starting some sort of interview process whereby I/we ask questions to RPPR players, as well as Forum personalities(Order66 comes to mine, alas it shan't be) and then we post the answers here.
I would index them for ease of read below as it started (with accompanying discussion of course) to become multi-page.
Is there a demand for this. Yea or Nea?
-
Sure, sounds like a fun idea. I say yea.
-
I think everyone knows all they need to know about me. Im a bad speller, and a dork.
-
Congrats. "I've selected"/"You've volunteered" to be our first profile!
-
I'm certainly interested in learning more about everybody.
-
Sounds like a fun little idea.

Don't we already have this thread? Isn't it called the Introduction thread? Haven't all the RPPR'ers posted to it already?
Besides, the only RPPR member of any importance on the board is Cody and he has a fan club.
-
that actually is true.
There is no ross fanclub
there is a Curch of Tom, but it has since fallen apart.
dan is gone
RJ is gone
mike is gone
patrick is ?

I was thinking more along the lines of something like an interview with a standard 8 or so questions, and a couple of wild card questions. A kind of journalistic profile. Something in that vein. And posted as one document.
Obviously cody would be near the top of the heap. And Ross as well.
But something with some more depth, heft, and comedy than the introduction thread.

Doing science, and still alive.
I was still working overnights at the current release points of the APs. I'm in some epic tier New World, and ran a two-parter Don't Rest Your Head game that should drop sometime slightly before the heat-death of the universe (Hi Ross).
Lately, been moving and working and trying to find a different job and finishing my parent's taxes (farm taxes are dumb), so I've missed out on the pre-GenCon festivities. However, picked up Dresden Files from http://mguinc.com/ (http://mguinc.com/) today (yay small-but-very-popular print runs), and my copy of Dogs In The Vineyard arrived, so expect something worthwhile soon.

I think I have a character sheet from that DRYH game in my RPPR button packet.

that's my character I think - parkour expert with a cool power I made up - he gets voice over narration that works in the real world.

That sounds interesting. Of course, I'm always fascinated to hear the personal history of people I know and/or give a shit about.

That's the dude. Looked like an interesting character.

As I recall Tom, Dan and I were hijacking your power during the entire game.

I find it hard to believe that you could hijack anything...
-
Oh snap!!!!!!!!
-
What if it were a bus full of nuns about to fall off a cliff?
Could he hijack for good?
-
Oh, oh, pick me. I have a question.
What was the first character you guys ever played for an RPG? The first one you created? The first campaign you ran?
Hm. Looks like multiple questions. Ah well.
-
I'm confused, is this a thread where we introduce ourselves or we ask the RPPR guys to introduce themselves?!
Personally, I think I know a bit more about the RPPR cast than I'd care to know and yet I'm still fascinated. What the hell does that say about me?!
-
I'm going to start doing interview questionnaires and then posting them. With something like 10-12 questions.
If you have questions you would like asked of specific people, you can PM them to me, and I will include them. Include RPPR Profiles in the Subject line.

First Character: Razor from SWAT Kats (as part of one of the first Tom games I played in).
First Created Character: Karn. A vampire who was a professional "fixer" and tech-developer for the Ventrue Clan. Created as part of Tom and Andys Underworld campaign using the old White Wolf system.
First Campaign Ran: My series of Doctor Who games that I started last year. This first game involved David (a member of Torchwood) and Tom (an escaped subject of a Nazi super-science program) teaming up the with The Doctor to fend off a Nazi plot to rewrite history using the Weeping Angels. Currently playing it using the Mutants and Masterminds system.
-
first character was some gnome wizard, I think.
First campaign was a classic D&D dungeon crawl multi session game that went down in flames.

First character: A lawful-good assassin with a boring one-word name. ("Cloak" or something like that) Kind of like a more deadly robin-hood. He was trying to help re-start the spin of the world, which had stopped because the "god who turned the great wheel" had been killed. In the end he got eaten by a chaos beast, and resurrected to fill the vacant position. End result: Gained a Divine Rank and all the awesomeness that comes with it, but has to spend the rest of eternity turning a crank so the earth rotates. I think we'll call that a wash.
First Created Character: Do NPCs count? I actually GMed before I ever got to play. If so, it was Brunn, the animal trader. He was a 3rd level barbarian, and had a ridiculous trove of creatures in his store. One of the PCs killed him and took his Large Dire Bat as a mount. That game ended pretty much as you'd expect from that little peep into its construction.
If not, it was the above character, who I now recall was named "Shaw". Lawful good assassin, with the "throw anything" and "Urban brachiation" feats. (The second one basically allowed him to move across rooftops, walls, and various urban features as though they were level, as long as he could pass the Jump/climb checks to get up there) He sneak attacked many a thug with a roofing tile. Not really much of a character, but he did have a goal of ending corruption by killing the wicked, on account of some sort of melodrama where friends or family were executed without cause.
First Campaign Ran: A disastrous attempt to do a 3.5 DnD campaign. The players all ended up horrifically overburdened with magic items. the most experienced player there was a lying sack of crap that mislead me so I would give the group better stuff, allow horribly broken powers, and hand out crazy amounts of XP. One person was a psychobitch that was obsessed with having EVERY object the party found but had no use for it. One girl (we shall call her T) ended up throwing a pair of scissors IRL at another player's head (named G) over loot. We made it through about 5 sessions in which they killed a shopkeeper, survived being robbed and stranded in the woods, and rescued a castle from orc occupation. When the game imploded they were wandering the castle's secret escape tunnels because the bigger orc army showed up and they decided it was a lost cause. I think there was also a magic cave or something.

-edit, not that this doesn't work too, but its a little messy and slapdash.

wow

First character: As a joke, a few friends and me played a game involving 90s rap artists trying to save the world. I think I was Fhife Dawg from A Tribe Called Quest. I remember randomly quoting lyrics and shouting in character at everyone.
First Created Character: Something like Karl "Hwarf" Gustafferzon. He was a dwarf, from 2nd edition DnD. He was supposed to be adopted into a human family or something, but our DM didn't know what roleplaying was, so basically we ran around fighting things, and when I DID try to roleplay, he would look annoyed and complain. We played one time. I hated him.
First Campaign Ran: Something called "Bards Can Too". Basically, it was a Bard love campaign. I love Bards, and this campaign had a bunch of homebrew abilities for the Bard.
My favorite was Freestyle, which allowed the Bard to cast spells if he freestyled. It went okay, until we had a rock concert where the players formed into teams and fought each other with MUSIC. Several perform checks later, we decided to call it a night. Fun game, and I'm laid back enough to not have an issue with running a game.

First Character: Spider-Man. Everybody else wanted to be Wolverine, which was lame.
First Created Character: Self-made PC? I honestly can't remember. I'm old. I had a Marvel Super Hero who was a bouncy mutant named Slingshot; that might be one of the first. I even came up with him long before Steve Ditko made Speedball. He dated a bunch of X-Chicks, because he was a swinger and not a socially phobic skinny comic book nerd who was afraid of talking to girls. At all.
First Campaign Run: My first real campaign was...shit. I can't remember this one either. I guess I could say I ran a fairly generic Marvel Super Heroes "campaign" that consisted of loosely connected scenes of the PCs walking into a corner of the big city map and spotting a villain robbing a bank or bashing some scenery. They'd then, y'know, fight them. I think my first self-made campaign setting was actually for the stupid game I made myself. It was called Hunters and was about heroes from across time and space who were picked to go to Hell and fight Evil. The fact that my current D&D campaign is inspired by it says something about my maturation as a gamer and a human being.
