5 rpgs I would take to a deserted island.

[brunswick]

D&D 4th Ed
D&D 3.5 Ed (but only if I could bring my Realms books with me)
Call of Cthulhu
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay
Tunnels and Trolls

 

[el-remmen]

It wouldn't matter. I'd likely end up tearing them apart for kindling and toilet paper - so I guess whatever has the largest page count and the softest paper.

Not saying I wouldn't try to run a game if in that situation with some other gamers, but rulebooks? Who needs friggin' rulebooks?

 

[MrFilthyIke]

I'd want game complete unto themselves:

Call of Cthulhu 6th ed
Mongoose Traveller
Rules Cyclopedia
Warhammer Fantasy RPG 2ed
Arkham Horror

 

[Tetsubo]

D&D 3.5
Gamma World 4th Edition
After The Bomb 2nd Edition
Mutant & Masterminds 2nd Edition
Star Wars SAGA Edition

 

[Atomo]

1) Vampire the Masquerade
2) 7th Sea (R&K version, not the Swashbuckling d20)
3) D&D 4E
4) Paranoia (The computer told me to bring this game to the... Hey, what is an island?)
5) Pendragon

 

[MrFilthyIke]

Gamma World 4th Edition
Star Wars SAGA Edition

Damn! I forgot those two...can I have seven books???

 

[exile]

1. D&D4E
2. D&D3.5 (I love Pathfinder, but it loses out here solely because of the extensive back library for 3.5)
3. Dread (The rules are so simple that I shouldn't even have to take it, but I list it to make sure I get the Jenga tower with it)
4. Star Wars Saga Edition (a generic sci-fi game just doesn't do Star Wars)
5. Savage Worlds (Just edges Alternity and New World of Darkness. Chosen for its versaitility. It does horror, though not as well as Dread, but lets me rolld ice; does modern and sci-fi well; and provides an alternative to D&D for fantasy)

Tougher question than I thought it would be. I love playing so many different games.

 

[Derulbaskul]

Savage Worlds.

I could run anything with it and the Explorer's Edition would take up no space.

 

[Maggan]

Okay, so you're going to be stranded on a deserted island for the rest of your life.

What 5 tabletop rpgs would you take with you?

1) Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay
2) Call of Cthulhu
3) WH40kRP: Dark Heresy
4) Ars Magica
5) Paranoia

EDIT: but the real question is, what would I use instead of dice?
