Today's RPGaDay is 'the most surprising game', and I'm not really sure what to write about. Partly because 'surprising feels like an odd category, it could mean a game I was surprised I didn't like when I thought it would rock, or vice versa. Or it might mean a game mechanic I was ambivalent about that actually really worked.
I'm going to go for Golden Sky Stories, which I admit I've never played, though I would love to. It's a Japanese game where you play Henge, shape shifting spirits that are working to produce a miracle. I had heard of it via a games forum that I lurk on, and really liked the sound of it. The other thing that appealed was the fact that for once violence wasn't the objective; the game has no combat rules. When I got the game the art charmed me, as did the range of abilities available to each character type; hell even the premise of the game is cute.
I'd definitely like to play it at some point.
