Quote from: Balbinus;290057What's the difference between Top Secret and Top Secret SI?

For my group Top Secret SI is a much more streamlined and fast playing game. Great rules for unarmed combat. And it had a really decent run of support material. allowing you to play Cinematic Spies like Bond or Flint, or more gritty stuff like Bourne. You could even get really "Wahoo" with it and do pulp era (Agent 13 book) Near future "cyber-heroes" (F.R.E.E Lancers book), or even Mack Bolan and Able team / Phoenix Force Men's adventures (Commando book).I was in an Agent 13 pulp games a year ago and had a blast.  Best of all , most of the stuff can be found on Ebay at reasonably affordable prices.

I actually own every game system I would have once mentioned here now (mostly by luck), but I would like the old Warhammer Chaos books:  "Lost and the Damned", and "Slaves to Darkness", IIRC.

I'm in the same boat. The only thing left for me is a copy of "Lost and the Damned". I kind of miss hunting for games I wish I owned now.

I wish I owned "Les Années Folles", a FANTASTIC French boxed set detailing France in the 1920s for CoC. This is like... the Grail of French Mythos stuff. I'm going to get it, sooner or later.

Also, I really wanted to get a complete collection of AD&D hardcovers, the Original D&D (1974), the original World of Greyhawk boxed set (1983)... got all those already. What I'm looking for now is print copies of WG6 - Isle of the Ape, EX1 Dungeonland and EX2 The Land Beyond the Magic Mirror. Along with the Ruins of Catle Greyhawk, Castle Zagyg and other sources, I'd like to piece together my own version of the original campaign. I got the PDFs of these modules, but that doesn't replace print copies, really.

Off the top of my head, I'd like to get a French-speaking version of James Bond 007 (the RPG), as well.

Quote from: Caesar Slaad;99234Ringworld.

Bought this when it was £20 back in 1986, and those were the days when a boxed RPG set was £9.99!

Sold it a few years later, but re-bought it with all the supplements on Ebay. Its not going anywhere now.

Ringworld.

KoOS

I love Ringworld... lots of cool ultra-tech, weird aliens... but I think one of the big complaints back in the day was that it was just that one setting, that it didn't go into much detail about the rest of the Known Worlds setting.
Not that that's a complaint I shared...

The lost game I'd probably most like a copy of is the original black book version of Whispering Vault... which apparantly had a slightly different feel to it than the later edition.

I'd also like to find a cheap copy of the 3rd edition Kult books.

(Keeping this to OOP games and stuffs.)

As far as I can tell, the only OOP RPGs I want that I do not have is the revised Marvel Super Heroes Basic set, and Top Secret SI.

For games I want that Dragonlance War of the Lance game (Was DL 11 or 13 IIRC), Original Space Hulk and expansions, and some of the old Arcade Games as boardgames that Milton Bradley and similar companies used to put out in the 80s.

I've pretty much gotten most of what I wanted at a fair price.

The problem is getting expansion and supplemental materials for some of them.

Stuff I know I need: 1st Book of the Astronomican and Vehicle Manual for Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader.  (I have both Realms of Chaos Books nyah nyah!)

Random and various modules and supplements for Basic-2nd ed AD&D focused on Ravenloft mostly.  

The Gods and Demigods book for OD&D.

Lots of D6 Star Wars things.

Tobin's Spirit Guide and a couple modules for Ghostbusters.

A few bits for Car Wars including the last few ADQs, and the Military Vehicle Guide.

Cross of Iron for Squad Leader.

A lot of stuff for FASA Trek.  (Since I just have the core box that had the ship game with it.)

Talislanta 1st Ed
Gatecrasher 1st ed
Nobilis
Marvel Super Heroes (though I have the pdfs downloaded)
 
Basically, anything that's talislanta that is out of print.

I want the Games Workshop printing of the Basic D&D book from 1977.
Why?  Because the art is different.   Google it for pics.

I would like to get Space Crusade, the Milton Bradley version of Space Hulk.  I heard there is some kind of Tyranid expansion, but I have not seen it.

I like to collect obscure rpgs (core and near rules only), so I actually own pretty much everything mentioned on here, except The D&D related ones, Creeks and Crawdads, and Crimson Cutlass. There are a reason many of these games are obscure and didn't catch on.  Yet, I love every odd moment of them.

They do take up quite a bit of space. I have like 18 boxes of them in the storage unit, 6 in the garage and three shelves on the book case.  

Ringworld is worthy. Never could get people to play it. Tried.  Everyone wanted to play Elric.  If enough people ask, Chaoisum might re-release it, though the license expired.  

I think Blood of Heroes is the only game I need to complete the collection. I want another First Edition Chivalry and Sorcery to back up my copy.

Last night I caught a wild hair and decided I wanted to get some of the Iron Kingdoms books... mostly to raid the setting for ideas.
Low and behold most all of them are out of print and going for the arm+leg price on Ebay...
From what I recall the writing in those things is pretty horrid... so I'm not sure they go onto the list of out-of-print RPGs I want... but it's interesting how quickly things go into the 'rare and valuable' category.

I wished I owned a copy of Creeks and Crawdads as well.

Rolemaster War Law (#1110)

Why? Only one I never could get my hands on for a decent price and I heard it had good mass combat rules.

I'd like a copy of SPI's Strategy One at a decent price.
Strategy 1 is not one game; rather, it is a whole system of games/simulations of the widest scope, embracing as it does the range of military-political conflict from the time of Alexander the Great up to the present and into the future. Easy adaptable for fantasy and alternate history games.

I'd also like two games from GDW, also at a decent price.

Fifth Frontier War
This was a Interstellar wargame set in the Spinward Marches that could be integrated with Traveller. Expensive when it came out, even moreso now. Superb for running a traveller campaign.

Asteroid
This was one of those quirky Boxed 120 series games designed to be played in less than two hours that featured one player playing a group of adventurers attempting to destroy a runaway mining asteroid, and the other player controls the evil brain and robots on the mining station. The players have to get in, set the self destruct, and get out of the asteroid before it detonates. Can be played in teams. Geomorphs of the station, random character and robot selection process, so never quite the same play, or strategy, works for every game.
