I am a huge fan of tabletop rpgs, especially of the indie variety (PBTA et al.). I think it's one of the highest forms of gaming since it is so responsive to a particular group of people and the stories they want to tell, which creates a lot of potential for cool leftist gaming experiences and stories. However, I haven't been able to find time to run a game for a few years (and I struggle playing solo rpgs since it's basically just creative writing) so I wanted to hear from chapos that are (or have been) in a campaign so I can live vicariously through you.
What game are you playing? What's your character (or favourite NPC) like? Any highlights from your campaign? Are you living out a revolutionary power fantasy or playing a chill "beer and pretzels" type game?
My last campaign has been on hiatus for long enough that I suspect we won't be starting up again, but it was fun while it lasted. It was some kind of version dreamed up by someone who is WAY into a video game I've never heard of, with lore I'm not that interested in. BUT. I played a character with magical abilities that had been suppressed because the character came from a society that heavily frowns on magic, so the magic would just wildly shoot out of her whenever I rolled a 1 or 20 (I would then roll on a wild magic table), which was lots of fun. The group I play with doesn't take things too seriously, so we all enjoyed weird shit happening.
