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.

Quote from: Mr. AnalyticalThat's a great name for a game.  It's like "OMG Pirates!".

  Mind you, what's with the whole Spanish thing of putting upside down exclamation points in front of things?  It's very l33t, isn't it? like [!]Piratas[/!]

I couldn't say, it's a grammar thing :D We use both exclamation points, and question points. We have more to spare ;)
My name is Ramón Nogueras. Running now Vampire: the Masquerade (Giovanni Chronicles IV for just 3 players), and itching to resume my Call of Cthulhu campaign (The Sense of the Sleight-of-Hand Man).

Do you put them in front of the whole statement or just the word?

For example do you say [!]Madre de Dios, piratas[/!]  or [Madre de Dios[/!], [!]Piratas[/!]?

Or [?]Donde estan los piratas[/?]

Saying you can't have ALT-history stuff is a bit like saying you can't really have impossible science in the SF section...
So, top 5 historical games written by someone else.

1. Cthulhu (from 1920 to dark ages)

2. Desperadoes (the only good Western RPG)

3. Ars Magica (played straight and without the WhiteWolfiness)

4. Pendragon (would you like to know about my grandfather?)

5. EnGarde. (Yes, it is a fecking RPG and played around a table it's l33t)

I only vetoed totally gonzo alt-history, not alt-history.

Did you know by the way there's a big online En Garde gaming community?

Aaaaarrrggghh!

I can't fucking believe that I forgot to include the Jewels of the Historical Gaming Crown:
  • RuneQuest Vikings: It's RQ. With Vikings. Enough said.
  • RuneQuest Land of Ninja: L5R can choke on my fuck when compared with the RQ glory.
