Right now Mongoose because of Paranoia and White Wolf becasue of the nWod.   But I've never been one to be a big fan or a hater of publishers.

Actually this is true.  I don't know of any that I actually hate.  Just ones that I like less.  Even a badly done product with often have good item sin it.

Even if they do something bad, I don't hate them.  I might not buy anything they ever put out again but that's not hate.

Hey All

I love Mongoose for Conan. I've only played in one actual Conan game, but I love a lot of the mechanics.

I love Green Ronin for Black Company. I would have hated them if they had screwed it up, but they didn't, they did a great job.

No hate for anyone. I can't even say there is a publisher I wouldn't buy from, because if the idea sounded good enough and the presentation looked acceptable, I'd probably give it a shot, no matter the publisher.

Right now, i'm really enjoying Malhavoc's product line.

Mongoose turned me off early with the quintessential books - I never really liked them.

I havn't done much with any of the million other publishers out there yet, though, so my opinion is rather limited.

I am really starting to warm up to Better Mouse Trap games and especially Clash and Flying Mice (part of Better Mouse Trap). StarCluster is a strong game.

Like: Mongoose (soley for Conan), Green Ronin, Necromancer Games, Guardians of Order


Dislikes: Malhavok. Nothing against Monty personally, but his adventures and sourcebooks just smack of Teflon Billy's "sorcery is as mysterious as plumbing" mold. No, it doesn't always have to be as dark as in Conan and Song of Ice and Fire. But it gets pretty gay when you use it to do mundane, household things - even if it does make sense in the context of the world.

I haven't really seen a lot of Malhavoc stuff that does that. In fact, some of it - specifically my favorites, When A Star Falls and Requiem For A God - deals with some really awe-inspiring stuff.

4e definitely has an Old School feel. If you disagree, cool. I won\'t throw any hyperbole out to prove the point.

Eh, I have some adventures of his that are pretty twinkish. Some are good, for sure. But too many put me in the mind of the original D&D movie.

I dunno man. I used one of his adventures for my homebrew system that combines elements of FATAL, GURPS, and parcheesi and I thought it was great. :p

It gives me the willies.
  1. A robot may not harm a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
   2. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
   3. A robot must protect its own existence, as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

I love IDA for putting out my goofy "Modern Advances" booklets. (I've gotta get back to writing some more of those. They were fun!)

I don't really love or hate anyone else, though. Not even FFE, as uncool as that may be. (Can't... too many people I like have worked with them...and they published some stuff of mine, too.)
