What's YOUR Top 5?

[DMMike]

Hey all,

Here’s a chance for listeners of “Save for Half” to chime in with your own personal “Top Five” RPGs you’d like to hear us review.

Post away!

DM (Good at listening) Mike

[Dizzy]

Thanks for the chance Mike!

Traveller
Star Frontiers
Top Secret
Warhammer Fantasy RPG
Call of Cthuhlu

No particular order for those.

Yes, thanks for the chance.  I was sad it looked like SOD was wrapping up, and thrilled when you came back with the new show.

1.  AD&D Second Edition.  Core books, just the PHB, your favourite splat book - whatever portion you have played and can talk about without too much prep work.

2.  Advanced Fighting Fantasy - the tabletop RPG based on the classic choose-your-own-adventure style Fighting Fantasy gamebooks.

3.  BECMI or the RC - I know you already covered parts of it, but if you want to expand or revisit, I would like to hear what your new cast has to say.  Preferably without that clown you had on last time you covered a red box. 

4.  Traveller.

5.  AD&D First Edition.

[Maegnarval]

1. Villians and Vigilantes (3.0): Mighty Protectors
2. Aces and Eights: Reloaded
3. Zweihander: Grim and Perilous
4. The Dark Eye - English Edition
5. Blueholme - Journeymanne Rules
6. Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea: 2nd Edition
7. 1st/2nd Edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons

I just wanted to second Runequest on here. I forgot to put it on my list.

[DocMindwipe]

RuneQuest
RoleMaster
MERP
Top Secret
Marvel Super Heroes

and for good measure, just because I always wanted to play them:

SPACE: 1889
Boot Hill
Gamma World
GURPS (just the core book)
RIFTS
Macho Women with Guns (the real version, not the d20 stuff)

[Vile Traveller]

I just wanted to second Runequest on here. I forgot to put it on my list.

Until recently I would have had that in there, too. But since the new Chaosium took over I've pretty much lost every ounce of interest in the game. The final straw was when they "complimented" me on my D100II SRD ... https://basicroleplaying.org/topic/6255-end-of-the-line-for-the-d100ii-srd/

[Dizzy]

Wow, sorry to hear about that Vile. That is obnoxious from them. Before they did that, what happened with the new Chaosium? I haven't kept up with changes in them.

[DadsAngry]

1. Dungeons & Dragons (B/X, BECMI)
2. Call of Cthulhu
3. Champions (4e)
4. Chill
5. Cyberpunk 2020

Does anybody else think it's odd that my top five fall with the first 4 letters of the alphabet?
It almost looks like I'm trying out games in alphabetical order and haven't made it past the E's yet. 

[mutazoid]

AD&D 2e
BECMI D&D
Advanced Marvel Super Heroes
Castles and Crusades
Dungeon Crawl Classics

[Rafael Beltrame]

all things D&D and D&D related.

1- Arduin
2- Tekumel
3- Barbarian of Lemuria
4- more JG stuff...more, more more!
5- AC modules of D&D basic

no particular order

[angelicdoctor]

• Star Frontiers
• Star Wars (D6)
• Paranoia
• Ghostbusters
• Savage Worlds

D&D and AD&D are always on my best list as the premium choices, however, I assumed that you are looking for games that might fall outside these.

[Loma]

Because a recent movie release reminded me of it, I have to start my list with

1: Dream Park, by R. Talsorian Games.
2: GURPS 1st Edition (I've never even seen this. Did they skip straight to 2nd?)
3: James Bond 007 by Victory Games (because you mentioned it in the Top Secret episode)
4: Rolemaster (because my dad hates it and I don't know why)
5: Boot Hill (Because KODT made fun of it and I'd like to get the jokes)

And BTW, I have an uncle who worships the Golden GURPS. That crack make me LOL on the bus!
