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.

Yeah, how great is Villains and Vigilantes? Just pure fun.

Interesting, though as Demon Hunters by Margaret Weis Games and Dead Gentlemen Productions becomes more well-known, I think that you’ll be tempted to modify either your comedy games list, your horror games list, or both.

I may have personal quibbles with some entries (who wouldn’t?), but I can’t dislike any list that shows some love to Villains and Vigilantes, a junior high fave of mine.

Randy,

Nice list! Obviously such a list can’t be all things to all people,
so it probably isn’t TOO productive to point out my favorite
omissions, like Blue Planet, but still you covered a lot of ground.
Very nice.

Say, did you mention being in Dallas? I’d like to talk to you about gaming possibilities, but the feedback e-mail address on the blog’s “Contact Us” tab rejected my e-mail. Feel free to contact me off-list at randyshipp (THAT E-MAIL SYMBOL) gmail.com.

Don’t know why you put them into catageries? The MUST plays AD&D, Paranoa, Runquest (2nd ed), Call of Cthulhu and any other game with a good GM.

Actually, when I was younger and smoked we did the AD&D dungeon crawls, with the ashtray in the center, and the hit die where the number of butts in the ashtray when the PC’s reached it. We smoked way tooo much. Drunk and in charge of dice, that’s the No1 must do game.

No love for any of Dream Pod 9’s games? Jovian Chronicles or Heavy Gear (in my opinion) are better than the licensed games in the Sci Fi section, and if Godlike is pulp, Gear Krieg is like orange juice with added pulp. The entire Silhouette system could fall under the generic category, since it has five games that use the same mechanics (the three mentioned above, plus the space opera CORE Command and the post-apocalyptic Tribe 8). I’m not really criticizing, just surprised that nothing of theirs made it to The List.
