You guys had a whole lot more gaming experiences than I did...or maybe I should say "character generating experiences".
Adventure - Frazier
Top Secret - I don't remember, but, as an homage to Don McJoel, I always wanted to be called "John Saint-Shawn".
Toon - The Teenage Mutant Ticket Scalping Turtle
Twilight 2000 - Cecil McFarlane
Paranoia - I'm pretty sure I stole this name from Brooke: Citizen Topo Gigio
Adventure - Robin Ta-Rion
Champions - MasterMind and Dimension Man were my favorites. Oh, to play Dimension Man again... of course, I'd have to spend about 5 hours creating the character first (1 hour to make the character, 4 hours scraping together another 5 points in STR), then it would be time for bed.
Top Secret - Don you-know-who
Traveller - The Patriot
Toon - Duck Skyquacker
Boot Hill - I don't recall, the guy with all throwing knives
Twilight: 2000 - Right, we played this like, twice. But I still have the rules, I think, and probably some character sheets. But I'm not cheating and looking... yet...
Paranoia - Again, we played this like 1 1/2 times.
I think we played Twilight: 2000 more than a few times? I always liked the premise behind that game...and it was kinda funny watching Aaron make his character go around and try to find something to drive. I think he succeeded in driving a goat once.
My favorites were Adventure (early years...because in the later years no one took it seriously, i.e. Josh with his chinese characters), and Top Secret (it was fun watching Don McJoel perform amazing feats of skill and then laugh as Aaron failed miserably).
You guys are geeks! ::Grin::
Stumbled across you as the blog name done scrolled past on blogger.
Of course, I'm probably worse than you cause I've played 5 of the 8 games you mentioned, plus GURPS, Lord of the Rings, TORG, Call of Cthulu, and a few that I can't remember.
And why would even bother naming a clone in Paranoia. None of them ever lasted past one session.
So true! Although you did have his clones!! So you could conceivably continue his name...i.e. Glintir Echo Three, Glintir Echo Four, Glintir Foxtrot One...etc.
Hey, what about Smotley Fruit?!! The fruit roll up shooting super hero from Champions. I stumbled across this blog after finding Joel's music on itunes. This is just a little bit surreal..feels like I've time-warped back to 1986.
