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.

Top RPG stuff, PERIOD, for 2006

Hunger is great! I have a review in the review section on that one.

In Harm's Way

Buring Empires

those are the three in 2006 that really stand out.

Quote from: RPGPunditHaven't read it yet, but I will. And after I have, I'm betting a lot of other people will too.

Excellent!  I'm really looking forward to hearing your thoughts.  

And MCrow, thanks again for the review.  Hunger was a blast to playtest.

fiendish codex I was it for me.  ... nine swords was interesting, but just made me wish they'd put 4th edition out (whatever it is) already.

Oooh, yeah, how could I forget? Fiendish Codex I is damned good. It's distilled coolness. One of WotC's best releases in the last year or so.

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

Having finally digested it, I'm going to add Burning Empires to the list. Why? Because it's the best effort at making a fair, balanced GM-vs-players game I've ever seen. The GM and players are encouraged to go all-out to win victory for their "side", and the rules apply to everyone - no changing them around by GM fiat! The system presented is focused on one particular conflict in the gameworld - humans vs. parasitic brain worms - but is incredibly easy to adapt for other situations. You can even just discard it and play the game as a traditional, open-ended RPG.
I am no longer posting here or reading this forum because Pundit has regularly claimed credit for keeping this community active. I am sick of his bullshit for reasons I explain here and I don\'t want to contribute to anything he considers to be a personal success on his part.

I recommend The RPG Pub as a friendly place where RPGs can be discussed and where the guiding principles of moderation are "be kind to each other" and "no politics". It\'s pretty chill so far.

You know, asides from the complete lack of hardware, for which I dinged in in thew stinkers thread, I'd have to say that GTIW was an excellent product and did a damned excellent job of explaining one of the pivotal eras in traveller history: The wars beterrn the terran confed and the first imperium. For that, it was a great product, for leaving out all hardware it was a stinker.

Take your pick.
RPGPundit is a fucking fascist asshole and a hypocritial megadouche.
