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.

...arrgh, just two or three core books? Could I take the entire run of Rolemaster 2e instead of the other four? I'm just a whore for supplements.

AD&D 1e (PHB/DMG/MM) or OSRIC
Marvel Super Heroes Advanced (FASERIP)
Call of Cthulhu

Hrm, the next two are difficult.  But perhaps I'd go with the following:
Stars Without Number
and a coin toss between Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea and Lamentations of the Flame Princess.

1.  Myth and Magic Players Guide, 2e MM, 1e DMG
2.  Marvel Advanced with Avengers Coast to Coast, Children of the Atom, and Fantastic Four Compendium
3.  Tome of Adventure Design or Ultimate Toobox (coin flip)
4.  Vamp 20th (just cause it is so full, can be used with other games)
5.  Sci-fi game.  The phat new Traveller?  Stars w/o Numbers?

That being said, as everyone on the island will be LARPing horror survival, D&D, Vamp or Cthulhu might not be the best games.
Miniature Mashup with the Fungeon Master  (Not me, but great nonetheless)

Quote from: GameDaddy;587971That's hilarious! Typically English class-based prejudice in action...

" They don't need restrooms, make them jump off the train and go whenever and where ever the train stops!

What if there was no stops for hours?

For the record American cabooses did not have commodes, but most trains that went on any extended trip included a crew car with restrooms, sleeping quarters, relaxation area. (In fact they were rebuilt passenger cars!)

I'm certain this policy created some very colorful incidents for British Rail over the years.

The distances you're dealing with compared to those in the U.S. are, to be fair, quite a bit shorter.
