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: Zachary The First;756301"Maybe," I said to myself, "it will be different this time. Maybe I'll post this poll, which I fully comprehend is not sufficient to entail all available options, and is fully subject to my own personal failings and bias, and these goodly gamer folks will see this, gently comprehend, and not ride me out of town on a rail".

"The hell you say," retorted my inner voice, which knows far better than to believe such nonsense.

I considered this, nodded resignedly, and hit "Post" anyway.

MAZES & MINOTAURS!!!!
http://mazesandminotaurs.free.fr/

Why? I've played lots and lots of Faux-Euro or BOG-style D&D and I enjoy it, but hot damn playing Faux-Greek Fantasy in Mazes & Minotaurs is such a wonderful combo of fresh and familiar. It's been a huge hit whenever I run it at con.

Why oh why oh why is BoL in this poll? It was designed to not be like DnD not to be like DnD. I designed it before there was even an "OSR".

AD&D 2E all the way, with fond memories of BECMI red box.

Labyrinth Lord worked for the couple of sessions I played.

I don't like OSRIC. My hatred for 3.PF is unbridled. Awful game, so unlike D&D it hurts. Yes I said: "D&D 3.x and Pathfinder are not D&D". /rant
I play these games to be entertained... I don't want to see games about rape, sodomy and drug addiction... I can get all that at home.

My favorite version of D&D will be D&D5.

Other than that, retroclones of D&D with a skill system, such as Blood & Treasure, or Tombs & Terrors.

Quote from: Marleycat;756472It's a old school site. Why would you expect any hardcore PF fans to be here? Just look at the abuse Jibba gets for liking 2e storytelling style like myself. But his problem is that he insists on using DnD for it.;)

I've never viewed this as an 'old school' site. I view it as a gaming forum.

Yeah, fuck that 'old school site' thing. It really isn't. I don't think I would drop by daily if this was dedicated to a particular style and in my experience, the discussions covers so much more than OSR/Ol'school/whatnot.

Gaming forum indeed.


And i voted Lamentations of the Flame Princess. It 's pretty much the only thing own/play from the list, bar a set of dusty 3.5 basis books and a beautiful DCC book, that I haven't had the time to explore yet.

I voted basic any iteration.   To me, that includes a number of options on that list.  BECM/RC, LOTFP,  BFRPG, LL, B/X.  My focus these days is on games I can run from memory.  As a player, just about any version.

Yeah, I look at this as  general gaming site, it has a good combo of knowledge, cutting wit, vitriol, humor, and freedom.

More or less. Whatever the intent, it gets thrown around in discussion a lot as being people's idea of a D&D game. Enough where I put it in the survey.

What do you mean "2e storytelling style"? Also, start a thread about it.


Quote from: Minotaurians;756353(Incidentally, for those who wish to know about how, when & why Mazes & Minotaurs came to be, back in late 2005: http://storygame.free.fr/how.html )

Mazes & Minotaurs came to be BECAUSE ZEUS MADE IT SO!!! :) In fact, knowing Zeus, he probably had sex with D&D and out of his head popped M&M. It's kinda his thing.


Quote from: Turanil;756235Other: Fantastic Heroes & Witchery :D

Turanil, your Amazon page is TERRIBLE. You need a far better sales pitch, previews on the page, more artwork pics, etc to grab excitement. Also, the copy on the back isn't inspiring. You put huge effort into the book, so now make sure you have a rocking sales pitch.

Good move going with Create Space however.
