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.

What obscure RPG would you love to see become mainstream

I'd like to see an updated, full colour version of Toon at some time ever, but how obscure is that?

I have never met anyone else in person who knows about it or has it.  I only hear about it on the internet and only every once in a great while.

OK, so definitely Toon then. It's one of my Top 10 favourite RPGS ever.

Oh, and HoL: Human Occupied Landfill and Ghostbusters.

For me Barbarians of Lemuria, its just so simple and to the point and is ULTRA easy to mod to fit different genres.

Well, I can't help updating it, but if you send me your copy I'll have my daughter get to work with her crayons. :)

Experience shows she'll probably also draw Luna from My Little Pony in it a few times, for no extra charge! :)

Toon is a fun game, but I'm not sure it needs much in the way of updates.  There's been about three expansion books for it, as I remember, and aside from doing an Anime-inspired book, I think it's pretty well as supported as it needs to be.

Quote from: CRKrueger;877466TBZ's very Japanese on the collaborative front.  The GM's not gonna make your character's life sorry unless you make it real clear you want your character's life to be sorry.
Maybe it's what you remember from when you read it, but the actual text says it quite clearly that yes, you are to make the PCs' lives hell;)!

She's four and a half.  :)

To be honest, if we did have a new expansion for Toon, I'd expect them to do a MLP schtick.

Anything more obscure is probably not even on my radar.

Quote from: yosemitemike;877584Oddly, that doesn't do much to clear up my confusion about how the chit economy is supposed to work at the tabletop.

look at the review in the review section there was  some talk there that clears that up

Dream Park RPG, but more like a Tool Kit or "Fuzion RPG 2nd Edition".

True, but there are hardly any things worse than an RPG which tells the GM they're not allowed to kill player characters off without the player's permission.

[certain RPG that won't be named] uses  genderless  personal pronouns when the gender of a person — a character or a player — is unknown or is irrelevant. In these cases, [certain RPG that won't be named] uses the genderless personal pronouns preferred by many contemporary gender theorists, using "zie" instead of "she" or "he", and "hir" instead of "he" or "she"

I have that and really like its approach to crafting adventures, but it just doesn't interest a lot of people around here.

Those are genderqueer pronouns, and are uncommon - even in writing.

This is why I used "they" in ZWEIHÄNDER Grim & Perilous RPG. It's transparent, inclusive and people know what the hell it means.
No thanks.
