This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

An article on RPGs that doesn't suck donkey balls!

Article looks phoned in. There are hundreds of "Tired of Playing D&D?" articles like that one.

Agreed, I've seen many better blog posts.

They never mentioned My Favorite Games, so it is obviously garbage. :rolleyes:

(Before you ask, yes. I am snarking myself  and nobody else.)

I thought it was a decent enough article for those who aren't very familiar with RPGs, but I can see where a lot of folks here are so familiar with all of those games mentioned that it might not have seemed worthwhile. I wish the poster would have focused a little more on Amber. ;-)

Yes, that's my impression too. And it's pretty good at that.

Lot of hipster games that I have no interest in playing. I think it would have been more productive to offer a wider array of games that allow different things but reading the authors bio I'm not surprised
