[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 3614176, member: 5100"] So, every few years, I sell off a bunch of my gaming books and re-invest the money in other gaming stuff. This time around, I realized that I've been so deeply buried in D&D that I'm not even sure what's out there. Thus, this thread. What games would you all recommend having around on the off chance you get to run them (I'm almost always GM, especially for one-off games)? Feel free to throw out any ideas -- hopefully others will get use from this thread, too. What I'm looking for, though, are games that are pretty self-contained (or incredibly interesting support books) to play and lend themselves well to low prep time. Ultimately, though, it's all about the fun. I'm not looking for d20 alternatives/knockoffs, since I'm not actually unhappy with D&D. I will not be getting True20, C&C, etc. I'd also be interested in hearing about any handy gaming accessories like Tact Tiles, Steel Sqwire, etc. Things that are already on my radar are Shadowrun 4E, Dread, and the nWoD core books. I've got Hero, and that'd be my "universal" game of choice. What else is out there? Please assume I've never heard of it. [/QUOTE]
