Thinking about it, the "Orcs" saga, by Stan Nicholls, could be a good option.

Like everybody, I have to put on the top my very first games as a kid (yes, the Red Box)! the very irst was the Palace of the Silver Princess, followed soon by the super classic B-series adventures and, a bit later, by super classic X-series, such as Curse of Xanathon and Castle Amber... Then I...

Blackmoor+Mystara, first and foremost. Although fan productions actually kept it alive and kicking until today, despite no official support.

Finally I had a chance of going through it properly and I really loved it! Will use it for sure as it has so many possible links to what happens in games... more than I expected, honestly!

Personally, I love Richard Adams and I think that Shardik has all it needs to create a great fantasy saga on the screens, but I guess the "next prophet of fantasy" will be chosen by a blockbuster organizations following parameters that we don't agree a lot. However, lots of people (probably...

I agree with Call of Chtulu (various versions), perhaps Paranoia (although I prefer it for one-shot games) and definitely Gamma World and Mazes and Minotaurs, that are very fun for a while and then you feel it's time to move on. Quite a few Savage Worlds would be suitable as well, such as Beasts...

Great question!!! I can see that, the more time passes the more I'm going in this direction, with less time to play and crazy schedules that force to play, basically, only one-offs or, at best, a loose conncetion of one-offs. On these occasions I always appreciate Paranoia (various editions...

This time the wait was particularly long, but finally... http://www.fightingfantazine.co.uk/page/ :cool:

A friend at secondary school convinced me to try playing with the Red Box, and... ;) What surprises me above all is that it looks like quite a lot of people around here started playing about in the same years...:-S

My first was the Red Box... more recently Advanced Fighting Fantasy 2e (the speed and simplicity that I need in these days as I can play only seldom and therefore mostly one offs, so I don´t want to waste time creating characters that I won´t have time to play or dealing with rules lawyers and...

I agree with you: in time, you learn to pick the right system (and personally I'm going towards simpler and simpler, faster and faster), the right genre / setting and you learn to be more flexible and ready to come up quickly with a new plot device when needed. Starting with the right system for...

Gabriel Garcia Marquez: one hundred years of solitude, this time in the original language.

Everything achieved! ;)

Among the ones presented in the article I have no doubt: Paranoia!!!

Some more hours and some more hundred pounds to go... :D

All thanks to the "similar threads" function! :D

I guess it's also a matter of balance and fun: I guess that if you walk carelessly you can trip on a pebble on the path, so the DM may want to have each time a "tripping roll", but if the players end up having to declare every time they start a walk that they walk carefully, doing their best to...

I actually assume characters will refill their waterskins with no problem when crossing most lands apart from deserts and particularly nasty / poisonous swamps, where I do track water supplies. I hate bogging down games with admin tasks, unless they are a specific motive of the specific...
