SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Twilight:2000 in it's first three incarnations.  NPCs are super easy to generate. Source material for locales is as easy as just reading history, and the scenarios can draw on any tv or movie or novel for inspiration.

I like Hyperborea a lot as a player/DM.  The new edition is about to drop and they've changed a few things in it.  I wasn't a fan of the old initiative and phased combat systems so we just played it like B/X D&D.  It's fairly straightforward, but definitely more complex than Swords & Wizardry for what that's worth.  So we just bolt Hyperborea stuff onto our existing S&W campaign.

I'm waiting for the books, but I have the PDFs and trying to convince my players to get into it but they want to see the books.
