Not D&D

Yeah, I just like to have my setting info complete - despite me probably changing a few things here and there in the course of the campaign. :cool:

Yeah I know that feeling. Right now I have every KOK product for 3.0 except for a couple of the last ones they did. I really want the divine book on the gods.

I am not a fan of 4E at all but I picked up the Dark Suns, Eberron, and Forgotten Realms books so I would have a complete set.

My favorite would be Microlite20. The game and the community are meshed as one, and both are extremely easy to enter, imaginative, and unassuming.

And it's got something like rule 34 going on- if you can imagine it, there are rules for it, whether 'it' is cowboys, mecha, Star Wars, pony PCs, or even hentai rape monsters (not joking, and yes, the last two are probably compatible, rules-wise. I haven't checked.) There are something like five different magic systems right now, and several rules variants allowing you to replace dice with cards, scrabble tiles, and such.





Also Classic Traveller, random tables for inspiration, reminds me of the sci-fi of my youth, etc.
Only difference is the list of names I mention (Heinlein, Bujold, Piper, Anderson, Lucas).
 

Oh yeah,I need the Mythos of the Divine, too.

I didn't check for the 4e flavor stuff yet, should probably do when the books get cheap with 5e. I got the new FR map but that's all.
 

The D6 System is my go-to for most anything non-D&D. Originally the system of (now-defunct) West End Games' Star Wars RPG, it definitely gets my vote for Best RPG You've Never Played/Heard Of.

The books are now free/OGL, and some have done good things with it, like APG's Mini Six.
 


I finished up running the Legacy of Fire Adventure Path last month (after nearly two years), so my new campaign that I am working on is a GammaWorld inspired game but using the HeroQuest 2nd edition rules. I've always wanted to give HeroQuest a try (even since HeroWars), but most of the time my players want a crunchier game. Depending on which group I'm with we flip between D&D 3.5 or HERO System, both of which I enjoy to pieces but need a break from them.

For the campaign my plan is to integrate a lot of GammaWorld goodness but set it on the Starship Warden (Metamorphosis Alpha). I'm expanding the ship to be larger to accommodate more sandbox elements initially so it feels like GammaWorld initially until at some point they discover they are on a starship.

Other games I would like play/run in no particular order:
* Marvel Super Heroes - I like what I read and want more and would love to try it out

* Iron Claw 2ed - I really like what they've done to clean up the mechanics from 1ed, but the setting falls a bit flat for me and would probably just run a home brewed world or use an existing campaign setting I like.

* Alternity - This has always been a guilty pleasure system and I like the three campaign settings as well (Star*Drive, Dark*Matter, and GammaWorld).
 

I have fond memories of Paranoia.

Which has nothing to do with that *other* RPG of backstabbing, dungeon crawling, treasure stealing, frequent gruesome death, and DM appeasement otherwise known as OD&D.

Mythos of the Divine and Worldly is one of my favorite RPG books of all time, for any system or setting. If you're playing 3.x or Pathfinder then you should go out of your way to get the 3.5 version of the book. It's fantastic, as is the original version of the book that they're currently selling for $10 on PDF.

The D6 System is my go-to for most anything non-D&D. Originally the system of (now-defunct) West End Games' Star Wars RPG, it definitely gets my vote for Best RPG You've Never Played/Heard Of.

Great call on WEG Star Wars. I haven't played that game in years, but I have amazing memories of it.
