Its a bit off the classical fantasy track, and 70s to boot, but Circle of Iron was interesting.

I forgot about Legend.

Excalibur was pretty great by any standards. Introduced Liam Nielson, had a cast that involved a lot of future heavyweights.

Frankly, most fantasy movies can be recreated using any system and most fantasy settings.

8x11", artistic cover, lots of text and charts. :cool: A loyal fan base. There are OOP games which still have a following. But I would say that the clearest indicator is longevity. Games like War Hammer, Rolemaster, Petal Throne are nearing the 60 year mark, and still being played and...

Worse properties have gotten RPGs. Although to be fair, any fantasy setting and system will work for Deathstalkers; it is attitude more so than anything else. Any player/PC who has ever pried gold dental work out of a corpse will fit right in.

It has happened, back in the F2F days.

That just described nearly every gamer I've had at my table since 1979.

I long to run a Dark Suns campaign (with a different system). It was the best D&D setting produced, IMO. I'm going to give this product a good looking-over.

I quit when 2e came out, but I had been having doubts for quite a while. I had hoped their would reign in the power level and expand the combat system, but it was not meant to be.

TSR? That's hardcore edition loyalty. Although they did have good quality.

Given all the complaining about low wages and the regular reports of game companies folding, I would suggest that it is not working very well.

Doesn't really clear up the issue for me, but I wish you luck.

He will fail. Shame is his destiny.

I think you need to read the original, and more history. And fewer comic books.

I'm trying to decide if that is courage or folly.

I use a dash of CoC in nearly every non-fantasy campaign I run. It serves best, IMO, as a seasoning or a side, not a main dish.

I haven't been able to run these as they require players who are read-into the lore: anything 40k, L5R. I also have not been able to run Paranoia because I've never had the right group. There's always been a couple who just wouldn't fit.

Nonsense. You might wish to return to your core reading: the Trojan Horse was a literary metaphor. It wasn't intended as a literal story. Both the Iliad and Odyssey in their original are not silly at all; contemporary versions have deviated so far from the core as to be a terrible mockery. If...

CoC as a setting or setting concept is, IMO, amazing, and I use it to some degree in nearly every setting I play. They just do the occult right. But their system, whether BRP or 7e, just leaves me cold. I want to like it, and it has many agreeable points, but there are key choices they've made...
