I want to try more Forged in the Dark designs soon.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Beyond the Fence, Below the Grave - OSR-esque noncombat investigations in the Old Norse world, and every adventure I've run has been a banger.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Night Witches - an exemplar of PbtA design that has led to engrossing campaign play every time. And it's inspired a whole wave of good military fiction RPGs: The Watch, MASHED, Blackout, Flying Circus...</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Cthulhu Dark (4 pager) - tight horror game design that creates focused play, and also has springboarded some terrific games from its systems: Cthulhu Dark (KS edition), Cthulhu Deep Green, Trophy, Chalice...and a game I designed myself (Pipedream).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">13th Age - when you want to roll into the best kind of d20 combat with a bunch of fun classes and smash some wild monster stat blocks. This is still a classic.</li> </ol>Honourable mentions to GUMSHOE RPGs, Warbirds, and the Call of Cthulhu line (as well as Delta Green).</blockquote>
