Just trying to start a conversation and see what people are interested in. Nothing special about the categories - add anything you want to talk about.

Favorites limited to ones I’ve played.

Overall: Fallen by Perplexing Ruins. Love the setting, atmosphere and mechanics. I have some quibbles about healing in the default rules but want the Fear mechanic in everything. It’s great for both groups and solo.

Combat: Lancer by Massif Pres

Solo: Broken Shores by BlackOath Entertainment. I haven’t managed to keep a PC alive for longer than an in-game week, but it’s awesome. Runner-up is Riftbreakers, also by BlackOath. Much less deadly and more heroic. Also the best run-a-group-solo that I’ve seen.

Magic system: Path of the Aram Thyr by BlackOath, again. Another solo, and I’m not a fan of the game-play loop, as written, but that is easily fixed by making your own narrative/PC goals. And the magic system is so cool.

Supplement: Lots here, but from what I’ve used in games is a tie between Into the Cess & Citadel and Into the Wyrd and Wild, both by Feral Indie.

I’ve got a large TBR/TBP pile, so a couple of things I’m very excited about: Across a Thousand Dead Worlds (BlackOath), Salvage Union (Leyline) and Goblinville (Narrative Dynamics). The current top of the TBP is Pirate Borg, Runecairn and WWN.

    Overall: Mask: A new Generation

    Combat: Cairn - Just roll your weapon damage. If you have surprise/superior position/etc. roll d12 instead. If inferior, always d4.

    Magic System: My game, Let’s Go To Magic School. You make your magic system as you play, by assigning subjects, inventing spells for them and learning about laws of magic. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XM1K54-2XnVrccdvei8UG7vVgsks-CDrAAzybKiMbRs/

    Supplement: Hunting Grounds: The Rockies for Werewolf: Forsaken. Over 40 NPCs with a plot hook each.
