Favorite Polyhedron d20 Minigames

I loved those mini-games! Especially the off-the-wall ones like Thunderball Rally and Hijinks!

The reason I split them between campaigns and one-offs. I can see these as one offs, maybe, but not as campaigns.

While I thought the Dungeon/Polyhedron combination was...ill-conceived, I loved those mini-games. They were my favorite part of both sides of the dualzine.

The magazine format, however, didn't seem like it'd work so well at the table. I'd love to see these reprinted in a different format.

I don't know all of them, but honestly--I'd run most as at least a one-shot if given the chance. Campaigns--maybe fewer of them.

And of the bunch, Iron Lords of Jupiter was always my favorite.

Iron Lords of Jupiter was my favorite and would run short or extended games of it, given the chance.

Shadow of the Spider Moon was pretty keen, too. I never latched on to Spelljammer in its initial run, but it seemed to me like they gave the setting some focus that it lacked in the original run.

I cannot say I have played any of them, but if given a choice I might like the Knights of the Lich Queen or Hijinx.

I have run & played Omega World. To me, it's the best. It ranks as one of the best d20 games ever. One of the best games ever. I bought 2 copies in addition to my subscription copy. I gave one to a friend. He bought another copy and ran the game. We just finished up that long-standing game earlier this year (after an ntermittent 10-year run using 3 different rules sets). I ran it using the campaign presented in Alternity Gamma World. Some of my best gaming ever. I would play or run Omega World right now.

I also have 2 copies of V for Victory. I've never run it or played it, but it has some really great ideas--like the Hollywood option for hit points that is basically now going to be in Star Wars Saga Edition. Ultimately, the d20 engine is probably a little too unwieldy for such a game. Savage Worlds would probably work better for me.

Iron Lords of Jupiter is another great concept. I just got a related product, Mars. I may have to get Iron Lords of Jupiter back out for another look.

It may time for my D&D game to do a little genre-hopping...

They're both written by Lizard, a great author!

Iron Lords of Jupiter was great...top of the heap by a mile.

Tied for second were Omega World and Thunderball Rally (or whatever it was called)...also pretty grand.

Wasn't that enthused by the Poly offerings, but I would do a Shadow Chasers campaign, a Lich Queen one-shot, and a Dark*Matter campaign (that last one especially, D*M roolz).
