[QUOTE="karlindel, post: 4887925, member: 27103"] I'll join the bandwagon and go with the original Deadlands. It's a great example of game mechanics that build a sense of the setting. The use of poker chips and cards had a lot of flavor. The western tone of the books also made them a fun read. I also liked that you can vary the gameplay significantly by changing the levels of western, steampunk, and horror that you use in a given adventure. The Savage Worlds version is also excellent, the D20 version is evil beyond words, and not in a good way. Fading Suns and 7th Sea are two other games that I enjoyed a lot, although both of them for the settings and flavor rather than the systems. I recently picked up Dread, and I'm hoping to run a game of it soon. The game mechanic is very interesting, and it's definitely unique to use a Jenga tower instead of dice or cards as a resolution mechanic. [/QUOTE]
