[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 9223460, member: 71699"] It depends so much on one's goals for curation. A goal I like is utility to a diversity of modes of play. My list to satisfy that with titles easily found in print is something like [LIST] [*]OSR - Worlds Without Number [*]Neo-trad - D&D latest edition [*]Neo-sim - Runequest latest edition [*]Storynow - Blades in the Dark [*]Trad - Call of Cthulhu latest edition [*]Journal - Thousand Year Old Vampire [/LIST] For more diversity I would have in mind [LIST] [*]OSR - Torchbearer 2e [*]Neo-trad - The One Ring 2e [*]Neo-sim - Pendragon 6e starter set [*]Storynow - Apocalypse Keys [*]Trad - Earthdawn 1e or 4e [*]Journal - Artefact [/LIST] And if I wanted to cover as many modes as possible with the fewest game texts [LIST] [*]Legend of the Five Rings FF 5e [*]Ironsworn [*]Traveller 1977 [/LIST] And this will still have failed to mention games like Bushido, Rolemaster, The Burning Wheel, Paranoia, The Ground Itself and Stonetop. Hence returning to my opening point: only after deciding one's goals for curation can one finesse such a list. I didn't even start on the list I would make for a goal of "most satisfying boxed starter sets". It's not something I've thought about before, but posting this has me contemplating it! [/QUOTE]
