I've got a friend (no, really, I have) who plays 3:16 and has invited me to a game, I'll take him up on it and see what's it like. Sounds simple and fun ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I'm going to recommend
- Icons - Rules light Supers
- Colonial Gothic - Supernatural Horror during the American Revolution
- Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space - Cubicle7's new Doctor Who RPG.
- Monsters and Other Childish Things especially the Dreadful Secrets of Candlewick Manor setting.
Well, just had a look at a few reviews and ICONS sounds fun. Might have to check it out and at least run a game to see if the players like it; hell, maybe rather than go to one game, we'll just play various games every few sessions to prevent us needing another 'break'.
Any other suggestions, or, better yet, anyone give me some mini-reviews on some of these games?
Well, they don't mind crunchy rules but not too complex- as the sessions are usually only 2 hours long, I don't want to spend most of that time dealing with rules or overly long combats.
Lethal combat is fine, and I think tactical is better than vague, if only because we're on-line and using maps helps keep everyone focused.
They all like character creation, but it doesn't need to be too in depth.
Genre-wise: anything really. Between us we've covered most genres, so anything goes.
You might find our humble FATE sf game, Diaspora, interesting. We just had the good fortune to win a gold Ennie for best rules, but you'll find more commentary and reviews at the web site as well.
