[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 7871398, member: 6779310"] Top? The One Ring. It enforces the genre with mechanics, while not getting in the way of the genre. Marvel Heroic does the MCU pretty much spot on. (I like Sentinel Comics better, but it's not an adaptation of a book nor movie, but of another game) Alien rounds out the top 3. It is fun watching players cringe at new stress dice... Several more come in as a tier... Advanced Marvel Super Heroes (AMSH), Firefly, WEG Star Wars 2E (but not the Revised and Expanded travesty) and FFG Star Wars. I'll note also: AMSH caneasily be adapted to non-supers just like Champions can.) Then, following those, Dragonlance Fifth Age - it's a beautiful adaptation of the darkest novels about Krynn. (Unfortunately, few seem to have liked them, nor the game.) Next is Marvel Super Heroes Adventure Game - it does the older marvel movies nicely. Now, we get to the one likely to be most controversial: Starships & Spacemen 1E. (I detest the 2E version.) No Trek game as captured the feel of TOS/TAS so well. I liked FASA-Trek. I liked LUG. I like some of the ideas in Modiphius-STA but not the game overall. I liked the fluff in Decipher Trek, but not really thrilled with the game. And while I love Prime Directive 1E, PD1 isn't doing Trek in the same sense. [/QUOTE]
