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.

Quote from: Imperator;360692Dude, it totally does.

This brings me memories of Oraculo, a Spanish Mythic Greece game. Despite being the worst RPG I've ever tried in any conceivable sense, we managed to play a fun campaign of it for a bit more than a year. I attribute it to us being adolescent. There's no other conceivable explanation. Seriously, it was the worst.

Help me remember: Oraculo included a choose-your-own-adventure, right?

Yes, oh my god how much did it stank.
My name is Ramón Nogueras. Running now Vampire: the Masquerade (Giovanni Chronicles IV for just 3 players), and itching to resume my Call of Cthulhu campaign (The Sense of the Sleight-of-Hand Man).

What I said about OGL Ancients, can be said about Oráculo too:

Quote from: Claudius;360509a friend of mine owns it and says it's crap.
Only that Oráculo seems to be even crappier than OGL Ancients.
Grając zaś w grę komputerową, być może zdarzyło się wam zapragnąć zejść z wyznaczonej przez autorów ścieżki i, miast zabić smoka i ożenić się z księżniczką, zabić księżniczkę i ożenić się ze smokiem.
