I've been involved in one aspect or another of the adventure games hobby for the past twenty-five years. Started playing in 1987. (First game? Champions, followed by CyberSpace, the Iron Crown cyberpunk game for Space Master, their sci-fi Rolemaster spin-off.) Was hired by InQuest Magazine in 1996, where I started my editorial career. Since then, I've done work for Green Ronin, Malhavoc Press, Dream Pod 9, and White Wolf. I managed two different game stores in the metro Boston area in the 2000s, and am now working primarily freelance. Still gaming after all these years.

I have a weakness for good coffee and bad puns.

comment What point value would “Cannot enter a dwelling uninvited” have as a Flaw?
Regarding your third paragraph: what if the invitation couldn't be supernaturally compelled? "Freely and of your own will," so to speak.

Thank you for the citation; that's good to have.

comment What point value would “Cannot enter a dwelling uninvited” have as a Flaw?
I think "dwelling" is the meaning I want; the inability to enter any structure at all would be a flaw beyond the scope of the traditional limit. As for apartment buildings, I think that the lobby and the elevators should be fine, but an individual flat should be off-limits. But I'm open to arguments on that.

comment What system would be the most interesting to run as a recorded, solitare Let's Play?
Although those elements are certainly important for a successful game, they don't address the core issue of the question: "which game would be best to play out in an audio/video recording where one person plays all the parts."

comment Does No-Key the Mushroom King appear in any Exalted 2nd Ed Sourcebooks?
I like using headers for one word answers. I think it lends them a certain amount of gravitas.
