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.

Sadly I bought a ticket to that comedy show.

I'd like to see an RPG based on what was going to come after Independence Day Resurgence.  That could have been kickass.

Maybe it would have been more than a bit plagiarising of Stargate SG-1, but it had potential.  Something where the exploration of Star Trek, the man to man action of Aliens, and the space opera starfighter battles of Star Wars played out by characters from Top Gun or Iron Eagle.  All of that with none of the baggage those other franchises have.

How about an RPG of what happened after The Last Starfighter?

I want the legal issues with the Ringworld RPG to get cleared up and the game reissued with expansions for Known Space.

I want a Babylon 5 license to be given to a cabal of Cepheus Engine authors in order to show how a Travelleresque ruleset can be done right with the setting.
"Meh."

Can someone explain why this is so bad? Been thinking of getting it.
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

Dagny's World, the "powered by the Apocolypse" RPG based on Atlas Shrugged.

Just to see heads explode.

I like this post a lot.

Quote from: Just Another Snake Cult;1023636Yes. 1st Ed Stormbringer is a game I've a lot of fun and badwrongfun with over the years. Remember that Games Workshop hardcover back in the 80s that looked beautiful but fell apart as soon as you looked at it? I want want an exact reprint of that, except without the binding issues. Not holding my breath, alas. We'll get cold fusion flying cars and a trans atheist president first.

Yes, I remember it. It was very pretty and yes! mine fell apart too lol.

We may ass a new edition of Stormbringer one day, but sadly, unlikely a reprint of those old issues of Stormbringer.

I would love to see a Drenai setting book. :)
I don't know the Barbarians of Lemuria RPG though.

A few. But having done three of these so far, and collaborated on a fourth, I can tell you flat out that IP based games are anywhere from a pain in the ass to a nightmare.

Allways have a back-up plan. Licenses can go total south without warning.

I truly regret that Mongoose's project of publishing a Conan supplement for MRQ2 never saw the light of day. Mongoose had quality issues (sure it did), but I liked their version of Elric.

Song of Ice and Fire would be great with a 1d100 system too.
Grając zaś w grę komputerową, być może zdarzyło się wam zapragnąć zejść z wyznaczonej przez autorów ścieżki i, miast zabić smoka i ożenić się z księżniczką, zabić księżniczkę i ożenić się ze smokiem.

And by your sword shall you live and serve thy brother, and it shall come to pass when you have dominion, you will break Jacob's yoke from your neck.

It's a long read, if you don't want the entire threads, I recommend that you read CRKrueger and Madprofessor's posts, they are very informative.

I'd say an OSR Game of Thrones, but we've already got Lion & Dragon/Dark Albion, so...
