Life Story
hi ! I'm Froidhiver. I live in Paris, France. I read comics (europeans and US), watch TV shows and waste my life as I deem fit (going out with friends and gaming as often as I can before life catches up with me and imprison me with multiple mini-me and a dangerous dragon-feared wife unit).
Gaming Systems I use
I've used so many systems... but I'm more attracted by the Chaosium and the Victoria Games Systems: I tend to prefer systems with minimal rules, easy to understand for everybody and (nearly) never have to look in the rulebook again. Yes, in case you don't understand: I don't like Levels and Alignements, so I have some difficulties playing D20 games which is always what my friends want to master, murphy rules !
General Gaming History
I've played my first game in 1982, since then I gamed for a loooong time with ADD and COC before finding that the RPG universe was getting vast at the time for english speaking people (I owe my english to RPG, how's that ?). Then I gamed with everything I could during university, and now that I have to work to buy games and food, I feel like a red dragon on top of his many rpg gaming books.
Published Settings
For my favorite worlds/settings, I would name Star Wars, Cthulhu, Pendragon and James Bond.
But anything would sell to me: steampunk, anthropomorphic, spiritual, postApocalyptic, etc...
Personal Likes and Dislikes
As long as the game has a good story, roleplay and ambiance !
Well I strongly dislike dungeoncrawls and psychorigid players and masters.
Strengths and Weaknesses in game design
my main weakness would be also my strengh: I tend to be ultramotivated at first and so the begining is good but the evolution of the world lacks dynamic ideas.
Influences on my Design
Chris Moeller, John Tynes, Warren Ellis and frank miller.
