      Well, SO and I have very strict rules about bringing new people into the relationship.

      Do you play tabletop games? RPGs, board games, card games?

          Fluxx is loads of fun! And if you mean “story games” I’ve got FATE, Spark (and its descendants) and StoryEngine on my shelf (some of the very few games that I have physical copies of).

              Spark is like collaborative story-telling where the dice come out when people disagree on what happens. It focuses on characters having their beliefs challenged and either confirmed or altered. It’s one of my absolute favourite games. It’s currently available for free (Genesis of Legend puts their games into the public domain after a decade).

                  I’m split down the middle between fairly crunchy trad games and games that are effectively improv with dice (or in their solo incarnations, writing with dice).

                  For the first variety, the golden king of all my games remains Chivalry & Sorcery (currently in its fifth edition; I primarily played second). I was also a big fan of a game called Rolemaster, though a later spin-off of it called HARP was more my speed later on (and, in fact, is one of the few games that I brought with me when moving to China).

                  For the second variety, I love Spark and its offshoots, especially Sig: Manual of the Primes. And I adore FATE, but specifically the Accelerated Edition.
