The Fellowship of the Ring remains a brilliant source of inspiration and guidance for GMs. From an opening that reads like an excellent 0 level adventure to how to dungeon crawl in the Mines of Moria, the book covers so much GMs need to know. It also serves as a reminder to slow adventures down...

D20 Future really needed a complete setting book. That would make it so much easier to pick up and run even all these years later.

Grabbing Iguanoid for a future villain name. Maybe a lizard king. Also grabbing Squatch. Good bartender name.

Oh yes, the ironically named Big Mistake that kicked off another edition. Gamma World using D&D 4E rules was wild but worked surprisingly well. I think the powers approach of D&D 4E translated into mutations a lot better than spells did. The random collectable nature of the cards for an RPG...

Not my favorite version of GW for sure. My favorite is fourth edition although I remember first edition with a lot of fondness as it was the first RPG I ever GMed for.

Alternity does have a Gamma World supplement. Of course, it is 25 years old now, so it might not have the modern takes on post-apocalyptic gaming.

Bitter Chalice looks great and something new focusing so much on one city. Lemurian Chronicles is great; a new sword and sorcery setting using tested rules sounds solid.

I think Alternity Star*Drive existed because TSR was failing. Much less oversight and the designers built a vision without much corporate committee. D20 Future was a great concept, but the built by committee is much more apparent.

Castles & Crusades gears up with three armory/mount supplements and Dungeons & Dragons 2024 Edition get the latest miniature version of a Huge black dragon. Plenty of sci-fantasy maps are available to plop that dragon down on. Mothership, Heart: The City Beneath, and ECO MOFOS!! all get...

I ran a lot of Star*Drive. I ignored military campaigns and power armor and the klicks. I ran it like Han Solo space opera and although I didn't know it at the time like Firefly. We never went back to Earth and just stayed in the Verge. The PCs were always those who didn't fit in in normal...

Dark Conspiracy using Mongoose Traveller rules: Now I'm excited for a Dark Conspiracy 2d6 version.

The Mongoose Traveller version is really good. I do wish the unpublished pentapod adventure from the original version would get finished and updated by Mongoose. I think I got it on a disk of 2300 AD RPGs years ago and it is quite good. Pentapods are cool. And creepy. Way too interested in...

I like 2300 AD and the pentapods quite a bit. Are they really here to help humans?

Star*Drive is a science fiction setting from the end of the 90s that TSR put out at the end of its life. Despite the doom approaching TSR, the end of the 90s was filled with new ideas and RPG options in books and in Dragon Magazine. So much of this content is still usable whether you play...

Be Heroic!
