I Am Loki

Loki is the darkest-natured of all the tricksters and like him, your sense of humor can be morbid, even a bit spiteful at times. You find it wickedly amusing when someone makes a fool of themselves and you're willing to help the process along. Cries of outrage fall on deaf ears - you couldn't care less what the commoners think. And god help anyone who tries to make a fool of you - they'll find out quickly just how nasty you can be!

Oopsie :)

The quizz doesn't even have Renart or Monkey though :(

I spent a very RPG intensive week end. Played a game of Changeling the Lost Saturday night, and Nobilis on Sunday afternoon. Both games were fun but it pretty much killed me dead - I slept 12 hours this night ^_^

I have a bazillion fics to catch up to. I think using firefox is doing bad for my fic reading habit since I keep them open up in onglets and put back reading them...

At least it's something. I got.. that I'm not a trickster XD

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

aww. That's because you're a god of grumpiness and writing? Or something like that. But I'm sure you'd be paired with a tricksters since you like the nice one so much :)

Here's me--we'd make a good team.

<td bgcolor="#000000">I Am Coyote</td>

Coyote is a fun-loving goofball and that fits you to a T. Playfully silly, you appear somewhat bumbling at times, and your goofy exterior sometimes makes people forget what a quick mind and razor wit hides behind that amiable grin. In the mythos of the Plains tribes, Coyote is also a Creator, and stole fire as a gift for mankind. Your gift to the world is the creative fire of your quick, capable mind.

I'm also Coyote.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

fun! :)

Re: Here's me--we'd make a good team.

Thank you. I found this appropriate, since the one trickster deity I ever ran when playing D&D (yeah, I read what you think of the game, but I'm very old-school, as I started playing it in 1976 when it was D&D or nothing for tabletop RPGs; even Traveller and Runequest weren't yet availabe, as the former appeared in 1977 and the latter in 1978). For a lark, I played him as "Wile E." Coyote, Supergenius. That was amusing, if iconoclastic and not very original.

Pretty cool Trickster, sounds like it fits you since they don't have the Raven in the quizz either and that's the closest thing to a magpie I can think of.

Re: Here's me--we'd make a good team.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

...now the good team comments makes me think of Sandman but it was Robin Goodfellow with Loki, and they were really up to no good so it's a good thing you're Coyote instead.

[werthead.livejournal.com]

Loki is always fun. I've got a short story by David Brin (excellent SF novelist) in which the Nazis succeed in bringing about Ragnarok in the middle of WWII and the Norse gods side with Germany whilst Loki defects to the Allies. Very offbeat and weird, but quite entertaining as well.

I got TechnoGnosis. Figures :-)

[werthead.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, and hopefully I'll be back RPGing some time this week and giving D&D 4th Ed a trial run.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

yay for RPG, less yay for D&D. Say, when will you start playing good RPGs? XD

[werthead.livejournal.com]

My friends keep wanting to play Star Wars (the horrible d6 version from West End Games) and Cyberpunk, neither of which I'm a fan of. We sometimes play Deadlands, which is a very cool rule system and setting. The Palladium stuff (Robotech, Rifts etc) is pretty good as well, if old-fashioned. I like some of the D20-derived games as well, like Babylon 5, Judge Dredd and ASoIaF, which is a pretty good syste, although the new one sounds better. I loathe the World of Darkness stuff though, can't stand it.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I do love Deadlands! Lucky you!

I never tried any of the Palladium games, but I admit I'm suspicious of older games... most of them are too rules heavy for my taste.

I find WoD games uneven, it really depends. I dislike Vampire and never tried Werewolf, but I adore Mage and the various Changeling/Fae games. I also love Exalted, which isn't WoD really.

Funny how I don't find the idea of an ASOIAF game very appealing.

[werthead.livejournal.com]

I think running an ASoIaF game would be very challenging, especially if you want to capture the spirit of the books and do a game that's also fun. I'm going to give it a go one day :-)

Deadlands is awesome and I'm trying to get people to play a game at the moment. Not a huge fan of Westerns, but the Western-steampunk-horror crossover in the setting works very well and the original rules (not the three different versions they've come up with since) are pretty good: not rules-intensive but not so freeform that the GM has to decide everything either.

There was a BSG RPG released last year, but I get the impression it wasn't very good.

[daydreamweaver.livejournal.com]

No, the BSG RPG is the same people as the Firefly RPG, and neither of them were very good. Do you know FATE? My husband has jury-rigged it for BSG with some help from the designer and me demanding that he cut the skills list.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

yeah, it's very Westernpunk, with more zombies, which is what I like about it. Kind of like Shadowrun wit more sane rules and more fun.

BSG RPG? errr. What's the point? They don't actually have a setting...

[werthead.livejournal.com]

Could be fun. "Roll a willpower save! Ah, sorry, you've been seduced by Gaius Baltar." "Your character starts hearing strange music and you feel a strange urge to go to the gym. No, seriously." "Okay, you say sorry for shooting the security guard in the head and Adama gives you a stern telling off and lets you go about your business."

Actually no, it would be lame. You could do a good game set on New Caprica or maybe on the Colonies, but in the fleet itself you'd be far too constrained on what you could and couldn't do, unless you just throw canon out the window.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

well you could always fight the Black Market... :F

[werthead.livejournal.com]

:-D

If I tried running a game based on that episode, the players would revolt en masse and try to kill me!

[daydreamweaver.livejournal.com]

Palladium isn't just rules heavy, it's insane rules heavy. NO ME GUSTA.

[werthead.livejournal.com]

True. I discovered rules in the Robotech RPG for what to do if your mecha wanted to fire a missile at a shark, which is a level of detail you don't normally get in RPGs. Of course, I had to bring about a circumstance in my campaign where the players had to fight sharks in their mechas just to test out the rule. It worked pretty well!

[daydreamweaver.livejournal.com]

SWSE is infinitely better than WEG Star Wars. Especially if it turns out you are happy with 4th ed D&D, because there are a lot of similarities.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

he's definitely amusing.

Hum. I'm not sure how I feel about mixing Norse mythology with Nazis, a bit too much like validating their claim on this part of culture which I'd prefer left alone. Although I can see how it can make an interesting story.

Nerd God you! XD

[werthead.livejournal.com]

Fitting, isn't it? Does this mean I get to be ruler of teh Internets?

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

for all of one minute, sure!

[rebbe]

Loki was always my favourite Norse God XD

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

He's pretty cool, but my favourite's Odin :) and Tyr!
