I am an unabashed fan of Bungie's Myth computer games, so it probably comes as no surprise that I also adore the GURPS sourcebook for the setting of those games. GURPS Reign of Steel is hands down one of the best post apocalypse RPG setting books ever written. That said, I've never run it with...

I've never had an issue with the electronic scans (I had to get them when I worked as a US government security contractor), but have had similar issues with ink.

It doesn't really, thematically speaking. Rules-wise, however, it's 100% fine. As I recall, he started off as a Fighter, dipped a few levels of Rogue, then became a Rune Knight. Also, read up on actual, historical, knights (many of them were right bastards, not the shining paradigms of...

In AD&D 1e, it's really all about the Human Fighter for me. In D&D 5e, I had a lot of fun with a Goliath Fighter/Rune Knight who specialized in grappling opponents, then shanking them with daggers like a prison yard assassin. [Edit: Ah! I think he may have had a couple of levels of Rogue, as well.]

Is the second edition complete in the single core book, or do I need to buy additional books as I did with earlier editions/printings? (Just trying to budget things out as I live on a fixed income.)

Golden Sky Stories is the first thing that springs to mind. It's feel good, pastoral, roleplay in the vein of My Neighbor Totoro.

I have. Notably in Car Wars (which, to be fair, has some really loose-y goose-y rules for playing a character outside of their car).

Due to the US government shutdown, I've lost my SNAP benefits for the foreseeable future. If you'd like to help and enjoy little (lite) tabletop RPGs, I'm currently hosting a sale to make up the difference. Get all three of my current FKR products for less than $10...

This (the bolded part) is not accurate. In Ruin Masters, characters have four primary attributes (Physique, Mind, Intelligence, and Charisma) and several secondary attributes (Hit Points, Body Part Points, Natural Healing, Damage Bonus, etc).

Please re-read what I wrote. I clearly specified the originally planned anthology series, not the series of Michael Myers vehicles.

Allegedly, it was originally intended to be an anthology film series, with each entry tackling a new Halloween-themed horror spectacle, but the first film was so wildly successful that Moustapha Akkad insisted the second film also be a Michael Myers feature (because, you know, the money). That...

For DMs, it's my friend Jamie. He was masterful at defining the sandbox as we (the other players) explored it and he was also one of the few DMs who I've seen pull off time and dimensional travel successfully, with all that entails. He ran the first 5e campaign that I played in from start to an...

Mike and I had a (very) brief discussion about this project on social media. It looks like a ton of fun and Mike's previous design credits (mostly with The Design Mechanism on Mythras products) are solid. I expect this to be good.

The Kreizler series by Caleb Carr is (mostly*) historical fiction/fantasy that really revels in the dirty side of the times. *The third book in the series takes place in 2016, but is tied to the first two books by way of an expert on Dr. Laszlo Kreizler.

Dario Argento's "Animal Trilogy" (Bird With the Crystal Plumage, Cat o' Nine Tails, Four Flies on Grey Velvet) and Dario Argento's The Three Mothers (Suspiria, Inferno, and Mother of Tears). Star Wars (original trilogy).
