Traveller's Book 2 Starships

Read and liked!

Lost and the Damned - I had that when I was about 14 - before I had even heard of the game it applied to! Cool books too, adding cross system mechanics and lore.

The art really is FANTASTIC.

Like all of you, I have so many favorites. My Mentzer D&D book, WHFRp 1e Realms of Chaos, WEG Star Wars. Here’s my favorites today:

Delta Green: Impossible Landscapes. An amazing piece of work that will have you losing sanity points just from reading it. Scary and deep.

Highland Paranormal Society: Haunted Almanac by Nate Treme. An absolute treasure and a must-own for fans or the genre. Light and fun.

Ultraviolet Grasslands and the Black City by Luka Rejic. A beautiful labor of love from one of our most talented and imaginative creators. The scope. If I were starting a campaign with only one book, this would be the one.

And last for me is Warhammer Fantasy Role-play 4e by Cubicle 7. A long time WHFRPer, this edition has reinvigorated my love for both the Old World and the percentile d100 system. I just found the secret message in the letter on page 23. Love these guys.

Honorable mention: Bluebeard’s Bride. Creative! I’m a PBtA fan most of the time, and this is a cool one.

The Star Frontiers starter box is my all-time favourite book, even though we only played it twice. I've cherished it despite its flaws, and I want to solo during the summer months.

The Warhammer 4e books are really good. Beautiful art, fun and interesting lore, and a good, playable game ensconced within it all.

Led Pigchip! Or something like that, right?

I didn't recognize/remember that name, but googled it, and found this recap somebody posted from 2004:

The only game of HoL I've played in involved the motley crue of a Confederation starship which had made an emergency landing to pick up some more corpses for the jumpslugs. Once on the ground a mysterious stranger, tall, skinny, bald, wearing leather pants and a leopard skin jacket, stole the dilithium crystals from the coffee machine. We trailed him through the diaper swamp to an abandoned funfair where we had to compete in various "challenges" to win back the crystals - it culminated in the final challenge in the "crystal dome"...
PCs were: Spud, PopeMan, Elvis, The Man with no Nam, Led Pighp and The Revenant. Tater-tot ended up betraying the heroic Spud, who turned her into chips. Altar-boy was horribly mangled by a fairground ride gone wrong. Richard O'Brain died a satisfying death within his crystal dome, and the crew went on their merry way.

HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THIS GAME?!?!?!?!

Anyone here familiar with the new 40k RPG? I was thinking of picking up the Humble Bundle.
