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 was the new hotness in RPGs in 2019?

No problemo! :cool: I gave it a read-through, it's got some pretty wild stuff in there and the art is very evocative. Pretty substantial for an introduction, too; I like the caravan stuff a lot.

The Black Hack 2e - great minimalist traditional RPG packed with GM material.

Savage Worlds Adventure Edition - same great game but better now.

I was disappointed with Eclipse Phase 2e, it was streamlined to the point that it offers nothing that Nova Praxis for Savage Worlds doesn't.

Battlelords 6e PDF dropped very recently and I recommend it as a well done crunchy game.

Nice to finally see more Battlelords. Like Rifts more rpg material to read in the toilet than actually run and not a fan of the system. Though very flavorful as an rpg.

MOTHERSHIP is the game that I wished I got to play this year. I really wanted to play it before purchasing, but it looks like I'm gonna be the GM (as usual) come next year.


Quote from: Nihilistic Mind;1115650Hubris: A World of Visceral Adventure is one of the best books to use and run with for Dungeon Crawl Classics roleplaying game.

Agreed. HUBRIS is excellent weird fantasy.

If I played DCC, I'd use Hubris as the default setting.


Quote from: Thornhammer;1115716If not, you REALLY need to see Ultraviolet Grasslands.

What makes it special?

Old School Essentials by Necrotic Gnome. The D&D system from my childhood repackaged in a modern, streamlined and sturdy edition - the perfect (a little before) 2019 Christmas gift :-) !

And I've no doubt that Gavin Norman (the guy behind Necrotic Gnome) will deliver sweet OSE products in 2020 (go Dolmenwood !).

A lot of effort was spent to make this version far more playable.
