Hi Community.

Hi Community.

Hi Community. I’ve got about $100 in Amazon store credit to spend. Any ideas on what kinds of gaming things to pick up? I’m tempted to get MG 2E, but I know I’m never going to play it, and I already have the 1E box set to plunder for play aids to use with Andrew Medeiros’s Legends of the Guard. I’m even open to trad stuff, especially if it contains good setting material to steal for other games. Suggestions?

  9. Eloy CintronI remember when that came out awhile back, but have never taken a look at it (my FLGS only ever had the boxed set, and it was sealed up). Actually (and you’ll appreciate this) I think The Burning Wheel is a fantastic interpretation of Tolkien.

    Marshall MillerAny recommendations? I have Designers & Dragons from a couple of years ago (but only PDF).

  17. Jason Cordova BW does a particularly good interpretation, particularly of Elves and Dwarves. But TOR just nails The Hobbit, which to me, is more whimsical. The Journey is a huge component of the game. There are cool maps. There is no magic, but the Hobbits, Elves, Dwarves and Men feel just like in the book. The setting is great. Task resolution is similar to MouseGuard, but the combat system is really, really good. Plus, overall, the game is less complex that BWHQ games, which is usually the main complaint with the games. 

    Combat is more exciting, and for once, the Hobbits kick as much ass as the rest of the races.

  27. Mischa Krilov Mid-90’s-style cultural appropriation FTW! Actually, I wonder if I can get the TMNT RPG? I used to have one of the original copies that listed homosexuality among the insanity conditions (before they covered it with whiteout).

  31. There is so much obscure stuff on Amazon. Here’s the description for Mystic Rune™: Finally! A role-playing game for mature gamers! Mystic Rune™ is a game that is written especially for the thinking gamer. It removes the limitations of its predecessors. There are no Character Classes, Alignments, Levels, or illogical limitations to your character. You can play virtually any type of character you envision. Mystic Rune™ makes use of a Skill Point system, so if you want to play a spell caster that is also a mighty warrior, you can! In addition to logical, realistic combat rules, Mystic Rune™ uses an intricate, but easy to use magic system. Your spell caster will have flexibility in style and ability. Speaking of flexibility, Mystic Rune™ allows for maximum flexibility so that the Game Master can create the worlds and adventures he has always dreamed of, without the limitations that other games offer. The Mystic Rune™ rules are simply a base from which to build. Mystic Rune™ offers all the rules you need to create and play exciting adventures in a fantasy setting. The only limitation is your imagination! Mystic Rune™ was first conceived in 1987 (fully developed in 1991) and has been utilized by several game groups who have play-tested it over the course of 28 years! Mystic Rune™ has seen several revisions over that time, but has (until now) remained a, primarily, local labor of love.

  33. If you still have any love for table top games in a more “board game/card game” sense, check out android: net runner. Huge it’s an LCG, and pretty fantastic. Conceivably something that could be played over hangouts as each person manages their own deck, it is the depth of strategy that CCGs have with out the mechanic breaking issues of a CCG
