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 I do wish the unpublished pentapod adventure from the original version would get finished and updated by Mongoose.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...

This week is positively surreal with mutant cartoon animal shenanigans in a new RPG and white dice with a white crayon to fill in the numbers and a dice catapult to go with Monty Python's Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme - RPG (Sensible Middle Class Edition). There is also support...

Three new rulesets and campaign settings are available including both fantasy and urban fantasy. The new rules and setting of the Land of Eem are now available along with the new Wilderfeast rules and campaign setting. Urban Shadows is back in a second edition with plenty of support. Liminal...

Sounds amazing. If you can find 7-9 GMs who also like playing and all of you share similar enough tastes to game for years? You have found the unicorn of gaming! I think the vast majority of groups are a mix of GM(s) and players though. And although some GMs only want to run games many are...

RPG Spotlight shines a light on the latest RPG releases to help GMs decide if the book will improve and enhance their campaigns. Just released, Agrella - City of Eternal Euphoria, by Free League Publishing depicts a fantasy city in turmoil along with adventures involving intrigue, assassination...

That could be an entirely new article. I use servant leadership although there are many others to choose from: transactional, coaching, bureaucratic, democratic, and more. I would avoid autocratic leadership as that leads to horror stories on the internet. In my case, I try to find RPGs that...

I disagree and expand on this point in the article. I actually agree with what you're saying. Running games will cover many campaigns over many years. Few GMs run one campaign for years although it does happen. Even then, a long campaign will have many arcs with end points and a new direction.
