I think you're all overlooking the best dog RPG.

gradenko_2000 posted:I've been binge-listening to RPPR's Call of Cthulhu games and now I really want to look into a d100-based game, but there are so many variations of RuneQuest and I don't know jack about Glorantha. Where do I even begin? If you want a traditional d100 Cthulhu game, either of the last two Call of Cthulhu editions are fine. As far as Runequest goes, plain old Runequest 6 is complex but it's not a horrible mess or anything. You just have to decide what you want to do with it and figure out a game from there.

fool_of_sound posted:Yeah, I'm looking at Trail of Cthulhu now; first impression are good. Trail is my favorite, followed by Esoterrorists 2 and Ashen Stars. A nice thing about Trail is that, along with the adventures written specifically for it, there are tons of resources for converting the classic BRP Call of Cthulhu adventures to Gumshoe so there are a ton of good stories to run a group through if you don't want to write one yourself.

Galaga Galaxian posted:So after having this mentioned here and in another thread I started looking into the game and while I see some good stuff written about it, I also see that the author apparently completely bailed on his stretch goals for his 24k (2.5k goal) kickstarter. That makes me a bit leery of wanting to give the dude any cash. Technoir and Mechnoir exist and are good, at least. YMMV on the other poo poo. I got the game I backed so I don't care too much.

bunnielab posted:I want D&D due to intense nostalgia. The 1ed books I was given as a kid in the 90's were this portal to crazy 70's madness that I just loved. I want a game that could be airbrushed on a dude's van. I want 10' poles and encumbrance tables. But, I also want to try some PBP stuff as I have a weird schedule so I will never get to play in real life, so I want to learn one of the more current systems and I haven't liked any of the more modern rules lite games I have looks into. Like, they look fun, but not the very specific D&D itch. Play Dungeon Crawl Classics, Darker Dungeons, or just straight up BECMI/Rules Cyclopedia era D&D. Modern D&D isn't really going to give you what you want aside from having wizards and poo poo in it. edit: Darker Dungeons - http://www.gratisgames.webspace.virginmedia.com/extras.html Rules Cyclopedia - http://www.dndclassics.com/product/17171/DD-Rules-Cyclopedia-Basic?it=1&filters=0_0_44699 long-ass nips Diane fucked around with this message at 16:29 on Aug 16, 2015 |

You should just run AD&D then, I don't think it's the quality of the system that accounts for the lack of PBP for it around here, just not many people who want to DM it over something else. You running it would solve that problem.

Helical Nightmares posted:
Take All My Money They're also doing a standalone Gumshoe game about Delta Green from 1961-1971, written by Kenneth Hite, as an add-on for the Delta Green proper kickstarter next month. They're going to get however much it takes to get both of those in print out of me, at least.

I like how a lot of stuff has really extravagant names and then there's Snow Wizards. Just Snow Wizards.
