Your Three Desert Island RPGs

[Reynard]

In no particular order, if you were limited to 3 RPGs for the rest of time, which would you choose. You can explain, or don't. Or even list 4. I'm not a cop.

Mine:
Shadowdark, for gritty D&D style fun.
Daggerheart, for heroic D&D style fun.
SWADE, for all the other styles funs.

 

[Parmandur]

2024 D&D
The Stormlight Archives RPG
MegaTraveller

 

[TheSword]

WFRP 4e for gritty, character driven story
D&D 2024 for heroic high fantasy adventures
Imperium Maledictum for futuristic space opera.

Shadowdark
Cy_BORG
Daggerheart

 

[Velderan]

Right now probably Shadowdark, Call of Cthulhu, and TSR's Marvel Superheroes to give me a good variety of genres to work with.

 

[TiQuinn]

Call of Cthulhu
D&D 5e
Mothership

And because you said I can list four: My fourth is prolly Shadow of the Weird Wizard.

 

[Bagpuss]

Call of Cthulhu (horror genre) obvious first choice for me, Feng Shui (for action genre, covers multiple different settings as well).

Then I'm torn between FATE Core or Hero System (for everything else), FATE would be fast and easy to develop and play, but if I'm stuck on a desert island I might want something to eat up time preparing hence Hero System.

Forth probably Pendragon for heroic fantasy and the high drama.

D&D
Cribbage Board with playing cards
Twister since I might need the large plastic sheet.

 

[Alas]

Three?! Without thinking too long about it:

D&D 5e (2024)
Shadowrun (2nd edition)
and, and, and...
Daggerheart!

(It's tempting to say the Cortex toolbox, because I could use that to craft bespoke RPGs, but that feels a bit like cheating.)

Shadowdark
Traveller
The One Ring
