#25. Favorite Revolutionary Game Mechanic. Using a Jenga Tower instead of dice. I'd love to figure out a good way to get Dread out of the one-shot mode and usable for campaigns, including with character advancement of some sort, but even without that, it's a very, very nifty (and very revolutionary) mechanic.
#26. Favorite Inspiration for Your Game. The Black Company books by Glen Cook, probably. Or, at least he has the most of the same inspirations thrown in: some horror, some amoral protagonist characters, intrigue and paranoia. It's the closest thing to a one-stop shopping source of inspiration. Other than that, the Five Fingers book for Iron Kingdoms does a great job. I also really love browsing the Monsternomicons for inspiration. I could build an entire campaign around ideas found in there; especially given my "monsters are set pieces for an entire smallish module" philosophy to keeping monsters from becoming banal.
#27. Favorite idea for Merging Two Games into One. Obviously for me, Call of Cthulhu meets Dungeons & Dragons. Otherwise, I've long toyed with outlandish and bizarre genre Frankenstein's; but I tend to see them more as amusing one-shot materials, rather than something I'd entertain on a long-term basis.
#28. Favorite Game you No Longer Play. Although we'll probably eventually come back to it, d20, 3.5 Edition Dungeons & Dragons. We haven't played it in... literally a couple of years now. But it's probably not truly accurate to say that we don't play it; we just aren't in a campaign that uses it now.
#29. Favorite RPG Website/blog. Y'know, I don't actually really follow many gaming blogs anymore. It's been quite a while since I really paid attention to what was going on in that sphere.
#30. Favorite RPG playing celebrity. There aren't any celebrities, unless you count c-list guys, as far as I'm concerned. I guess I have to pick Vin Diesel, as he's the only one that I kinda sorta even like that I can think of. Pick for least favorite is much easier: Wil Wheaton. Every time I see anything from that loser, it makes me want to punch him in the face.
#31. Favorite Non-RPGing thing to come out of RPGing. That's actually surprisingly easy for me, at least this year: Jeffro's detailed and lengthy discussion of the Appendix N: https://jeffro.wordpress.com/2015/11/23/the-first-draft-of-my-appendix-n-book/
