[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 9622024, member: 6779310"] Products: Free League's [I][U]Coriolis[/U][/I] - both The Third Horizon and The Great Dark. C:T3H being a very evocative setting description and excellent fluff. TGD is more evocative than descriptive, but is a darker take, too. The beta art is incredible. Free League's Alien - the mint green on black may be a bit hard to read, but it sets a neat tone. The setting info is top notch, easy for me to read (scotopic sensitivity makes the black on green very easy to read), the adventures by Andrew E C Gaska are a joy to read in prepping, and that includes the one in the core. Modiphius' [I][U]DUNE[/U][/I]... Gorgeous and easily read. Exquisite fluff (even if there are a couple fairly minor canon gaffs). Gorgeous art, topical to the chapters. And the boxed starter adventure is an awesome read, showing one how to integrate a new house into the place of the Atreides. Modiphius' [I][U]Fallout[/U][/I]... I liked the show. I got the RPG. The read is so inspiring that I found myself wanting to run it post haste... It keeps the tone, both of the setting and the manuals for the RPGs... it gives me enough to get ideas. And it conveys the setting exquisitely. Fire Ruby's [I][U]Warlock[/U][/I]... this low budget, skills only, Warhammer inspired game is a joy to read - it evokes the old world setting without actually providing a lot of setting. WWG's [I][U]Streetfighter: the Storytelling Game[/U][/I], has been a naughty favorite of mine for years. A great read, fleshing out the setting to support being an RPG rather than just a battle sim. Great art, a wide cast of PC/NPC World Warriors, and a decent battle system... it's awesome. Palladium Books' [I][U]Robotech RPG[/U][/I] - the whole freaking line. The exquisite line art and the setting description text is excellent. It all triggers memories of the show. (the TV series is on Youtube. The novels are worth reading. But the PB RPG books are what kept Robotech alive in fandom. Even if the rules are meh. The art and worldbuilding are awesome.) [/QUOTE]
