1. I don't remember the store, but in 1999 I bought a second hand #MERP 2E core rulebook in Springfield, MO which is where I attended university for a year before leaving the US for the UK. I'd played a ton of #StarWarsD6 4ish years before, but this was the first game I bought myself. Oh, and I never played it! 
Well that was quick, so let's continue!
2. My favourite #TTRPG game world is probably Warhammer's Old World, but specifically as seen in #WFRP and not the wargame. I love the cheekiness of the silly German names and the dark fantasy tropes with a touch of Renaissance tech. It's a world I will always want to play in, regardless of system. So far I've played or run it in all 4 official editions, plus Mythras, Best Left Buried, and my own Year Zero Mini.
3. I don't really play many published #TTRPG adventures, so I'm struggling to think of a published NPC that left a lasting impression on me. But I can certainly point to an unpublished one!
Ventillion from Carrion Company (a #WFRP 4e actual play campaign on the @toatabletop / Mud & Blood podcast) is hands down the most memorable NPC I've encountered as a player. If you've not listened to this campaign, you're seriously missing out! Here's the first episode:

4. The first #TTRPG I bought from its creator would probably be... Hmmm... Probably #Hypertellurians from @Mottokrosh at the 2019 UK Games Expo. Great game from a great guy!
5. The #TTRPG I've played the most is also my first TTRPG: WEG's #StarWarsD6. My friends and I played it nonstop for the better part of a year when I was a teenager. My second most played is probably #EdgeOfTheEmpire, which I ran and played a ton of when it came out. And yeah, I'm a big Star Wars nerd.
6. My favourite #TTRPG PC is probably Kurt from the Carrion Company (that campaign on @toatabletop I mentioned back in post #3). He was a bumbling young peasant in a mercenary company, desperate for acceptance who ultimately met a tragic end. I find #WFRP is best experienced with tragedy, not heroism.
@mattkay Oh heavens yes. #WFRP is somehow as inherently tragic and heroic as #CallOfCthulhu.
My friend Tom was a fan of the phrase "I don't have to win; I have to die with you losing," which was just the right tone for play.
@SubplotKudzu Haha, spot on!
