Blader_Runner:
Hello, Horus. Thank you for welcoming me and explaining a little bit more about the subforums. I mostly delve in D&D stuff, mostly 3. I looked into 4th edition, but that looked fairly confusing. The new 5th one looks like a good bridge from 3rd edition.
What about you, Horus?
Well, since you asked: I started out with
The Arduin Grimoire. I stopped playing D&D with AD&D Second Edition. I play mostly
Traveller (preferring Classic
Traveller with a dash of
MegaTraveller for background).
I love the milieu Joss Whedon created for
Firefly, but I'm not a huge fan of Cortex or of Cortex Plus. I wish there were something like system reference documents somewhere, because the presentations of it I've seen thus far seem too disjointed and disorganized.
For fantasy gaming, I like a neo-old-school rule set called
Astounding Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea (ASSH for short). I've heard it described as "D&D without any nasty hobbitses". Played it across the table back when I still had time, and found it to be fast-paced, evocative, and fun to play.
I also have an abiding love for role-play in M.A.R. Barker's world of Tekumel, presently favoring
The Petal Hack, but I've played
Empire of the Petal Throne, Tirikelu, and supported the
Bethorm kickstarter.
I've been looking at Fate, and like some aspects of it, but don't really have the time anymore to give this system the work it deserves.
I'm an older fellow, so I've played a lot of other systems, but these are the systems and milieu I keep coming home to.
