Good list…of course its always hard to find people to play. I’m sad I didn’t see the ninja turtles series. I started on turtles in time and after the bomb. Fun plays

Hey!

One left out is the wonderful sci-fi/fantasy old RPG classic of “Skyrealms of Jorune”, and btw where’s “Harnmaster”??? That’s one you wouldn’t want to miss ever. And also, “Trail of Cthulhu”, a very interesting version on the Cthulhu-setting, that one’s missing. Well, that’s the ones I could think of right now (apart from the wonderful “Mutant, Undergangens Arvtagare”, the Swedish all-time favourite of mine.

I own/have owned 15 of the games listed, and have probably tried another 5-10. Interesting!

Interesting list

Consider Riddle of Steel and Polaris, both very unique RPGs

I very much appreciate this list; thank you.

My all-time favorite of the bunch is Boot Hill (2nd edition) – although I can understand the critical comment(s) on it being mentioned. In fairness to those comments, the two earlier editions of Boot Hill were basically table-top miniatures rulesets. The third edition supposedly embraced far more roleplaying elements, though I’ve never read the rules so can not quite say.

For a solid old-school indy Western RPG, I’d encourage anyone interested in the genre to check out ‘Go For Yer Gun!’ by Simon Washbourne of Beyond Belief Games. I’ve snagged it recently and am impressed with how well he worked within the WoC OGL format… the commies.

Heh.

Anyway, thanks again. I am relieved to say I only owned/played 8 of the 100 listed out.

Whew… I’m not nearly as nerdy as I suspected.

Jeez, I own/have owned a massive number of games on this list. 42 to be exact. God, I’m a geek.

One game I’d include, for reading at least – Human Occupied Landfill and its only supplement, Buttery Wholesomeness. Like TOON if it went to 11.

Oh! and of course the ever-legendary Encounter Critical, by S. John Ross, who also did RISUS.

I appreciate the list, I appreciate the fact that you took the time to make it up.

Do you have suggestions for people new to RPG and I mean adult newcomers?

Thanks for you efforts.

Played quite a few of those.

For #101, might I suggest Top Secret (the original, not the eyebleed cuasing /SI)?

where is Ars Magica?
IMHO the best game ever. The first game with the storytelling concept, only for this reason deserves to be on that list.
