March Madness: Non-D&D OSR Challenge (Preview)

So I sadly missed 2/3 of the bus for the February D&D 28 Day Blog Hop, and to be honest, I likely wouldn't have much to say on a lot of the days for it, so instead I'm going to try to participate in the March Madness blog hop. Thirty days, thirty questions, all related to non-D&D game systems.
And since I seem to be writing a goodly number of my posts and scheduling their publications, hopefully I'll have a chance to do as many of these as possible. We'll see. Here's the list of questions for the month of March.
Feel free to join in, as well.
