There are SO many... the first edition player's handbook strikes a chord... just thinking about it brings back fond memories. And the SMELL ! If you still have it, crack it open and smell it. It'll bring you back 20 years ago.

Has Mark gone strange, recently?

In any case, for me it would be Amber Diceless Roleplaying.

Cheers!

The red box did what GURPS 4th edition is doing now. I just can't wait to read the whole thing, find a bunch of players, and START A BLOODY GAME!!!! .

I admit that HackMaster is a third close, though.

Hi,

From my teenage years, it would have to be the 1st ed rulebooks that I could only afford to buy one at a time, and Call of Cthulhu.

More recently: Planescape and Over the Edge.

Cheers

I remember my superior excitation when I bought the 1e Unearthed Arcana many years ago, that had just been received in the gaming shop (the vendor opened the shipment of books in front of me). I always loved the cover illustration, always, still today. I bought the book a saturday morning, then with a friend we went to the evening gaming session. My elven 1st level fighter-mage was killed after the first 10 minutes of play! So I opened the Unearthed Arcana and immediately created a Cavalier. This character thereafter went up to the 20th level, and probably was my preferred rpg character, ever...

More recently, d20 Modern really enthusiasted me for some days, but the modern setting itself wasn't much my cup of tea, and certainly not that of my players. Then, Grim Tales really entranced me, and I immediately began writing a setting for it, that should begin next month.

In terms of evoking raw emotion: Charnel Houses of Europe (Wraith).

Iron Kingdoms

AState, now that'sa relaly cool setting and very high production values. I'll never get to play it but it's damn cool.

You are a person of taste and refinement, that much is clear to me!

Hey, if you want a game, meet me at GenCon and I'll run it for you!

Ego boosting aside....

Traveller:The First game I ever ran, the first game that made me want to run a game rather than just play it. OK, so you started out in a shiny far future universe with a cutlass and a revolver, but hey! It was fun. Then Traveller: 2300 (later 2300AD) came out, which still ranks as my favourite game of all time and one which I still get excited about running, even after all these years.

Cheers

The Red Box, because it was my first RPG ever;

Mekton, because I was really into Robotech (the show) at the time and the Robotech RPG hadn't come out yet;

Exalted, because I really liked the idea of White Wolf doing a fantasy game; and

Iron Kingdoms Character Guide, because I really love the world and waited forever for the book to come out.
