This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Face it people, it's Rifts.

Those other games may've been made here, but "quintessentially" American?  

Only Rifts.
Bedroom Wall Press - Games that make you feel like a kid again.

You pretty much nailed it.

Quote from: Peregrin;343481If you're going for feel as well, I'd say Deadlands is just about as American as you can get, from prettymuch every angle.

I agree.  And prior games in that genre, such as Boot Hill.

Spinachcat

Most anything with comic book superheroes - Champions, MSH, Heroes Unlimited, etc.

Unlike fantasy, supers are the American mythos.
