Strider mode for The One Ring works well; I have yet to try it in Moria.

Since you ask, no. Although it is more math friendly, your assertions are not the point of bounded accuracy at all.

It's difficult to determine whether Vampire was a response to the zeitgeist of the period and/or benefited from TSR's decline. But there is no question it belongs in the top 3. If you quibble about editions, include it in the World of Darkness. I also like to point out that whatever his...

Here are some generalities: In horror games, and especially one-shots, where the PCs are often in the wrong place at the wrong time, I would not expect them to be exceptional. In a superhero game where protecting one's identity is an important facet of play, I would expect their secret...

Some things I'd say could indicate success include a second edition, a release schedule that does (or did) publish things when expected, and third party support.

I understand that there are still events being added as well. I hope so, since one I signed up to run isn't there.

My mommy's a fishy broad [The Armitage Files].

I will die on the hill of "D&D needs its own turn undead subsystem."

I stole a code name from a friend's Dracula Dossier game to use for my own. HEARTBREAKER (the unknown woman from the novel whom Dracula turned) was too good a name not to steal.

I would say more than ten forms of raw materials is pushing it. What is your game about? The more technologically advanced the setting is, the more forms you probably need. I also infer, from the relative silence of this thread, that there are not many good examples. Probably because in most...

A couple of X of Cthulhu scenarios are set on subs. Part of the Innsmouth campaign and one from Pagan.

In my first time GMing after a long absence I set up a pretty awful railroad. The players came up with a tactic I totally failed to predict and I had no way to adapt to it. I tend to gravitate to rules systems that discourage it, now.

A format for materials that creates projects which streamline GM prep. That might help existing ones and entice new ones.

If a publisher has announced plans to make more material for a game but doesn't, that's like removing it from life support.

I second Savage Worlds as long as the group is OK with cards and dice.
