They never did, group fell out before the end of the campaign

Well, I try to keep the BB "hidden" as long as possible, mostly using go between. My most shocking BB was the mother of one of the player characters. His background was youngest son and black sheep of a noble family, and I took that and ran with it. She sent "job" to the party to increase...

Not hard at all BUT it is like finding a place to eat that everyone is going to be happy with. 5E is the that famous burger joint, other systems are variations of that burger joint or specialty places that offer atmosphere. It comes to what is everyone comfortable with. :)

Land grab sounds simple but can get complex with hooks and variations. Some ruins, underground, forest and city environments, organized crime, throw in some corrupt officials, a few murders and a cult. Has a lot of real-world history to draw from and use, Chinatown fantasy role play.

Favorite; Warhammer's Old World, just fits my needs. Next up would be Earthdawn. 3rd on my list and current world; The Witcher World as presented in the computer game. Found the setting book online before the TTRPG came out and use it with Zweihander rules.

I always ask my players to tell me how they got together while working with them in session 0. Warhammer start, do not remember the character names. The graverobber character found the pit fighter in a shallow grave, beat up and with no memory. He was so close to death; he took him to the...

Okay, just finished watching the second season of Loki and enjoyed it immensely but noticed, it could be a Paranoia! game. It has all the elements.

Flash Gordon - I know there has been at least one but it is about time for another one.

Well, the earlier editions took a lot of their material from Warhammer fantasy battles and let's just say it was not a good edit of the material. Then there was the whole "direction" of material for 1E, they kind of screwed with the writers they hired and turned them away. Later editions took...

Cleaned up system and background material, the old stuff is easy to port into current system.

Amber (Dice less) but would like to see it back with some dice mechanic

This may be a, you problem. Work on your descriptive adjectives and how you are presenting things to them. It could also be they just are not interested in games of this type, and you will need to try other activities. Bring out the hands-on aids. Puzzle boxes, coded letters. etc., all...

Old topic for me, define what is 'evil' in your game! Cold-blooded murder (sacrifice, relatives, kids too), slavery (including mind control), cannibalism (not eating parts for rituals but the whole cooking and feasting), arson (burn), oath-breaking, rape, worshipping 'evil' gods, and so on...

Soylent Reclamation & Recycling Processing Unit

I remember a game played in, GM had a house rule where and Critical Success would improve your skill.

Two for me, Warhammer FRPG 1st edition, just loved the grim world and history of the world. The other Paranoia! Silly fun, quick and just different.

Back in the day that bubble was a popping like bubble gum. Finding the right game to play, keeping people focused on playing and not relationships. Sometimes felt to the games was more mature than some of the players. But what popped it for good for my group was age of the players and mine.

I don't know, thinking about it, there seems to be trends and fads that were playing out at the time. Designers were looking for alternate dice mechanics and hooks in games to catch the imagination of players and sperate their products from D&D.

Paranoid! any military game did not have magic. As far as fantastical technology, well that was the GM doing, Top Secret, Star Trek, Traveller, they can push the envelope but no magic.

Did not say Shadowrun had better rules, said that Cyberpunk's rules did not lend themselves to the world.
