I've been a fan of F&SF since the 60's. I frequented the NYC conventions in the 70's, where I watched a few OD&D games played. I was a subscriber to S&T, and sent away for some orc miniatures from an ad in one of the issues. At a con I bought the Dungeon boardgame and Traveller's Snapshot, which...

I think it's a matter of how many rules your group requires, and enjoys implementing. I think there can also be a difference between a storytelling game, and a game of navigating a set of rules to victory. One group may even enjoy both pursuits.

<sigh> I really have​ to get in more gaming time in Mystara!

Glantri in Mystara. Prax in Glorantha. The Spinward Marches in the Third Imperium. Campaign Map One in the Wilderlands.

In response to the question in the Subject Line: No. No, it's not.

Asis my usual habit, when I see a topic with this many pages ofresponses, I'll just post without reading all the pages ofreminiscences and streams of consciousness. I started playing D&Din the 70's, in high school, but not 'really' until college. Thegolden age doesn't have to be twelve, it's...

Caverns of Thracia. Ran it a few times, always loved it. Dark Tower comes in for second place, probably because it's for higher levels, and the fact that I only ran it once.

He doesn't care about your vote.

Mitra from "Dark Tower?" Or, "The Frog God?" Ah, the famous "Rizzo, the Rat God!"

Well, I'm not a regular poster on this board, but I'll chime in. Other than 1st ed AD&D, my favorite non-oneshot games to run or play are Chaosium's 2nd ed Runequest, Classic Traveller, and Call of Cthulhu. I also bulldozered my way through running a Fading Suns campaign, but I have to say that...

I still have my original copy of this book. Lots of fun. I'd love to see more of the T&T world released in a more traditional format for regular campaigning.

Wilderlands of High Fantasy. Close runners-up are the Principalities of Glantri, and Spelljammer. Generally, I'm an old-schooler, and Wilderlands is what I started with. But Glantri was so awesome, Bruce Heard set up an amazing place for wizard characters in a microcosm of pseudo-European...

I know only one Australian. Yet on a daily basis I am bombarded with people who say, "No worries." CUT IT OUT!

That is so cool!!!

I used it, but only briefly. Had big plans, but the players didn't seem as intrigued by Spelljammer as I was. Will try again sometime, with a new group.

It's. As a possessive. My blood pressure is rising just thinking about it.

Sure, why not? I'd be happy to help.

I don't know that keeping the core book 'focused' in the way you describe is a goal I'd agree with, per se. I think the core book should be a one-volume, stand-alone game. Supplements should be just that, supplemental. If your concept of the game is that the majority of pc's are Red Martians...

Ah yes, I thought it went without saying, but if it's modeled on the movie rather than the novels, I'm not interested. What would I like to see? Well, I don't play much d6 so I don't know what to ask for there. I'm an old-school gamer, and prefer my rules on the light side but without gimmicks...

Kudos, especially for the title! :)
