I was going to just like this then I thought Is "like" really the right response. What is the emoji for depressingly correct?

Anyway on a more serious note. Like @MGibster I've also had the delight of studying archaeological theory which also suffers from the disagreement about what the word/field actually means. It doesn't seem to different from RPG theory to be honest. Substitute "Narrative games" for "New...

Makes sense. I was out of the hobby (and the country) for the whole 3e/D20 era. My pop music knowledge is equally rubbish for the whole 2000s.

Up vote for previous mention award goes to the Culture novels. Special Circumstances meddling in lower tech cultures would make a good RPG setting. Although you know one guy would insist on playing a knife missile. IP I just assumed there would never be an RPG for but bloody hell there is, how...

That's not wasting your afternoon, that's winning!

Well as Arthur C Clarke wrote "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" Therefore it is definitely Aliens.

I know I have seen someone mention a Jane Austin inspired game in the past that I think uses OSR style rules. Anyone remember the name? Of course I may have just dreamed this after eating too much cheese in which case ignore this post and carry on with your lives. EDIT: apparently there are...

Chris McDowell of Into the Odd and Electric Bastionland would be cool or the Melsonian Arts Council guys with Troika.

Any RPG that names abilities/features after a Fall album goes up at least one notch in my book.

Repent ye not. For thou hast not sinned! If the players go left and miss that amazing atmospheric encounter planned in the cult temple, and you create unavoidable obstacles to push them back into it; that's railroading. If the players go left and miss that amazing atmospheric encounter...

Poor you. Must be tough. But you seem like an honest sort. If only there was a large sum of money held in an account that only needed a few thousand pounds of solicitors fees to access. I could lend you the money for the solicitors and we could split the money between us.

+3 vs Peasants.

So Charles, the third of his name, High King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Thain of the Shire, Immortan of the big Southern Wasteland, Eternal Overlord of all Canadia and Big Kahuna of a few small islands in the Atlantic but not the interesting volcano one Bjork...
