Here is part 3 of my list. Hope you enjoy!
16 Which RPG besides D&D has the best magic system? Give details.
Ghosts of Albion. Which is a total cheat on my part since I wrote it. But seriously. I love the magic system in it. I might never top that in my writing but I am sure as heck gonna try. The system is flexible enough to cover D&D like spells, Mage like powers and even the innate magic of supernatural creatures.
Outside of Ghosts my favorite magic system is the one from Eden's WitchCraft RPG.
17 Which RPG has the best high tech rules? Why?
Doctor Who Adventures in Time and Space. Mostly because it hand waves the tech rules. Games run the risk of looking very, very dated when it comes to tech. Look at Traveller, ShadowRun or even Kult. Doctor Who plays it simple and therefore it works so much better.
18 What is the crunchiest RPG you have played? Was it enjoyable?
Maybe GURPS or even D&D itself. I like most games to be honest so to me enjoyment is more a factor of the playing rather than the rules.
19 What is the fluffiest RPG you have played? Was it enjoyable?
Monsterhearts. It is quite fun, but not for every audience. Also Monster of the Week is in there; similar mechanics.
20 Which setting have you enjoyed most? Why?
Anything in the Victorian age. I love the time period and it is great for all sorts of conflict. You can play class vs. class, modern vs. old world or even magic/supernatural vs. science. The world was new to explore and people had the means to do it. It was an exciting time for nearly anything you would want in an adventure game.
21 What is the narrowest genre RPG you have ever played? How was it?
70s Black exploration. The games that suited it best were Solid! and Damnation Decade. I played a hippie witch from Berkeley. Interestingly enough this was an extension of my Chill game from the 80s. I normally am not a fan of the 70s, but these games were great.
22 What is the most gonzo kitchen sink RPG you ever played? How was it?
Back in the early d20 days I was playing with my son. We used D&D 3.0, Mutants and Masterminds, BESM d20, Star Wars, Silver Age Sentinels and anything that wasn't nailed down. We had a blast.
