Tabletop gaming
« on: March 19, 2011, 05:15:53 PM »
I know from one of the other threads, we have at least a couple of tabletop gamers on here. So anyone want to chat about that?

RPG's I play (regularly, tons and tons of games we played once or twice)

Runequest
Rolemaster
Soft spot for the original AD&D
Traveller
Heroquest
Burning Wheel
Warhammer FRP (original)
GURPS

I do a fair amount of tabletop wargaming, mostly my own game rules or ww2 stuff (troops, weapons&tactics, crossfire, Nuts). Some scifi gaming (40K rogue trader, warzone, 5150, stargrunt)

Some old school board games too. Waiting for a copy of World in Flames from ebay :D

Didn't Mongoose do a re-release of Dragon Warriors recently ? I dont think it did super well, but I think the title may have been too obscure for a larger market.
The game looked like it had a lot of medieval atmosphere though, just my thing :)


Big big big runequest fan (and other BRP games like Stormbringer).

A friend of mine in Spain is working on a huuuuuuge expansion to advanced heroquest (the old dungeon crawl game). Its all in spanish yet, but he's working on translating it.

Yeah, Mongoose can be hit and miss. Their version of Traveller was decent though I didnt see a pressing need to update from Megatraveller+Striker.

The newest version of Runequest tehy did (Runequest 2, not the first one from a few years back) really hit the nail on the head. You can tell they got a pair of really devoted Glorantha guys on board

Space Hulk and Necromunda are both awesome games.

Always wanted to get the Doom one. I own Descent, which is, I guess, similar rules but dungeon crawling, heroquest style. Very fun, if a bit complicated
