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.

Tonic for edition warring? Pick an edition of <$GAME> you DON'T like and...

I like to give backhanded compliments to games I don't like.

Quote from: JonWake;732053When in the hands of two invested players Riddle of Steel's combat system feels like long, tense moments of silence punctuated by fury and confusion, which is exactly how a fight feels.

Oh lord yes. When everything worked right the RoS combat system was amazingly fun.

There are a few back handed compliments but overall I like the direction of the thread.

Agreed, I think people are being very genuine for the most part in commending games they don't like for the things they did that they do like.

One I totally forgot.

2nd Ed Buck Rogers: Only saw this briefly at Gen Con.
The setting felt closer to its roots and the serial than the previous RPG did. Too bad TSR collapsed before it could be fleshed out more as it seemed to have potential. Mechanics seemed ok. Fairly simple stuff really. Could have been a viable entry level RPG to ease into.
