Right on. Savage Worlds definitely makes gaming feel more free but still exciting - for me. As a player, I can take risks and do cool things. As a GM, I can easily prepare & run the game so I can focus more on the story. That's a "First Edition Feel" in a good way. Ironically, the last...

I wanted to vote for Conan. The game looks intriguing with the art & tie-in to the miniatures game. But, it's too much investment to contemplate. I haven't played the 2d20 system, and the minis would join the bins & bins that I already have unpainted. Perhaps I'll get it if the game succeeds...

Here's hoping for a Savage Worlds edition of the new Conan RPG. Tie-ins to the nice minis in the Monolith board game would be great, too.

Sadly, I am playing nothing as a "friend" game blocked me. But, I continue to plot the next D&D game I want to run when I work my way back into the group.

How easy is it to convert Gumshoe to Savage Worlds? I like the Dracula Dossier but I have no experience with Night's Black Agents.

I mean: being a willing & devoted player of one game and one game only does not make a good RPG player.

1) Showing up regularly. 2) Willing to play what is offered.

The game I ran had extra bennies for role playing - sort of like action points that could be rolled for bonus xp. I love it as a player and as a GM.

The best role playing I've had from my group was in a game that included bonuses for between-session journals and painted miniatures.

It is. It strikes the fine balance between being coarse enough to be easy to run while fine enough to be engaging to play. Similarly, I did a D&D Miniatures mini-campaign using the advancement rules from the Miniatures Handbook. It was fun, but I think the players felt there was not enough...

Yes. We play at a house. It's cool now because the homeowner is unmarried with no children, no resident pets, and a significant other out of town; but it's still not my game office. :)

Examples?

These are my current top 10 based on how quickly I would run them. 1. Savage Worlds (SW). I could run or play this game immediately. Some of my best gaming was with SW. I have an ongoing game that genre hops, which has been loads of fun. I expect it to go to the Old West with a Boot Hill...

Having read, run & played both - as well as almost every other edition - I prefer 3.0 to 3.5. I usually import a few 3.5 changes, like dwarves move at base speed even when heavily encumbered and the Die Hard feat, but the core is 3.0. The d20 system just seemed at its best to me with 3.0...

Board games have never done it for me like RPGs. Probably because I am into the power gaming and storytelling aspects more than the tactics & strategy on which board games focus. But I am glad I read this discussion to learn about: Risk Legacy looks like the kind of thing that I would like...

A good adventure is a good adventure regardless of the system. I've got a few that are for systems that I no longer play or never even owned. And, they usually involve dwarves. So, I'll probably have to check out Glitterdoom.

Karak Azgal in WFRP is a thriving dwarf city built atop dwarven ruins - ironically partly thriving on the licensed looting of the ruins below. I liked it so much that I kept the module even once I traded off the game. Hammerfast is a D&D 4e dwarven city built in an ancient dwarven necropolis...

I am not too excited about 5e. I got off the D&D wagon after 3.5 - never got into 4e (although the latest Gamma World was quite good) or Pathfinder. I tried to get my group interested in the 1st 5e playtest dungeon, the remake of Keep on the Borderlands, but they weren't into it. I'll get 5e...
