August 3rd - RPG Purchased
I might as well just get this out of the way now. In my younger years, I was a huge fan of White-Wolf publishing. For many years, their games provided the bulk of my role-playing experiences. It wasn't that I didn't like other games, it wasn't even that I didn't play them. Like a dope fiend with a bankroll, I just kept coming back for more, just one more White-Wolf book, it's all I needed. And just like the dope fiend, one more was all I ever needed.
With that being said, I have a feeling many of my answers in this exercise will be White-Wolf games and books. I'm also sure that there will be some titles repeated, multiple times.
The first RPG I purchased was Werewolf: The Apocalypse. Second edition had just been released, and not having read t first, I had no idea what to expect. The color comic that began the book, was the best introduction I had read at the time, I was immediately and irrevocably consumed by the setting. The perfect mixture of youthful angst and anger, rallied against the exaggerated world view, of a planet on the brink. This game couldn't have been more "90's" if it came with Doc Martins and a flannel.
Believe me when I say, that I mean that. I mean it in the most loving and warmly nostalgic way.
