I don't know how off topic this is, but it came to me while reading these 9 pages so somehow to me it seems relevant. If you deem it forkable we can follow it there. But anyway... I haven't read all the famous Sword & Sorcery stories. But I've read a bunch and one common trope with S&S which I...

Allow me to add three games to the list of suggestions. I quickly read the last few pots of page 2 and skimmed page 3 so if they my suggestions have been mentioned before, take it as further support for cool games! Card Game 1: Citadels. Description from BGG, "Players seek to build a collection...

Mine are usually just flow charts and random ideas/points of interests I want to remember/perceived reactions/NPC names written on a piece of scrap paper during play. I've tried using 3-Ring binders and other fancy stuff but couldn't keep up with it during or after a game. Having a binder felt...

Couple things come to mind. First, physical space. Player Characters are very deadly within a 100 yard radius. What with ease of teleportation and other quick movement spells, if the characters are given the ability to just 'waltz' right up to the fire giant in charge of the ritual then they...

Really anything not D&D. Specifically on my mind I have a couple: Ars Magica, Barbarians of Lamuria, Dogs in the Vineyard, In a Wicked Age, Mouse Guard, Wushu, Feng Shui, Dread, Spirits of the Century, Paranoia, All Flesh Must Be Eaten, some sort of WW2 action game, Traveller.... any of that...

Say yes, or roll dice.

I'm a newcomer to the wonderful world of Traveller, so I'm running with the recent Mongoose rules.

I feel a little bit the same way but with all those groovy, narrativist indie games instead of D&D 4th Ed. I'd really like to 'get into' one of them but my gaming pals are more into traditional games. Which I don't mind either, so I'm not really feeling "the only one" blues, but I can empathize...

Although my response was terse and didn't leave much to interpretation, I picked The Bible for it's potential as an adventure module/idea mill. Not for the rules therein. ;)

Traveller.

When you run your games in any edition of D&D how much control of the game do you allow your players to have? Well I haven't run a D&D game in maybe year or so. But whatever game I might be running I tend to put some macro-level restrictions on the players. Such as "Don't be jerks. I haven't...

Awww man, I would kill for a 'real' historical wargame like that!

The Bible.

Can't you like, wrap it up in Saran Wrap and blast it for a couple minutes with a hair drier or something?

I'd also suggest using Traveller for a Star Trek based game. However a follow up question I always had (I've always been interested in a Star Trek game) would be exactly how you would run it? Obviously the player characters would be the 'stars' of the show... the Kirks, Picards, Spocks, Scottys...

Fall damage. What a joke. d6 per 10 feet, max 20d6? So assuming you rolled a six on every single of those twenty dice that's still only 120 HP damage. Mid-level characters can literary jump off mountains, and with the way HP works, just stand up and keep walking afterwards as though nothing...

Does having so many Defense Pools slow the game down at all? How do you determine what pool is the target of an attack? Is it up to the player every time they are attacked? As for me, I'm a big fan on the death spiral/damage to physical stats setup, where as a character takes damage, it...

My suggestion is Dogs in the Vineyard. Nice game that I think works better the fewer people you have playing, so would be great for a 1-1 game.

I would say whatever the number of players in a game, is the number of classes you needed.
