SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Quote from: Franko77;1128037Wow, this escalated a little.

But back to the games! The consensus is that we try Ashen Stars, just to see how it goes. Thanks for all the recommendations - there's enough here to keep us going for quite some time! I think we're also going to give World War Cthulhu: Cold War a go as well at some point, as that sounds quite fun.

Cheers!
Franko

And I missed this post in the argument. Let us know how it goes.

Quote from: Franko77;1128129Blades in the Dark certainly sounds very interesting, I'll need to check that out in more detail, as I know that at least two members of our group would be really into something like that. Seems a little bit like the old UK RPG a|state from the early 2000s. It had a great setting, but the percentile system was really clunky and brought the game down a lot.

Cheers,

Oh man A|State was reaaaaaly cool. I must have my old copy around here somewhere. But yeah, it's rules felt.. uninspiring somehow I agree. I wish someone re-released it nowadays with better rules.


EDIT: you must be kidding me, apparently it's really returning:

Will do! Hurrah for easy access to PDF versions of games.

Cheers,

Well, that's interesting. Hopefully the system they're using is better than the old one. I wonder, though, how much interest there is in re-releases of old games that some people liked, but were never huge? Seems like this time it's not even the company that originally produced it that's bringing out the new edition. Looked around and it seems that the original author isn't really involved in this one. Odd, as the setting really felt like one person's idiosyncratic vision.

I wonder what's next, a second edition of Tales of Gargentir!?

Edit: Aha, it seems like Malcolm Craig (the original author) no longer has anything to do with games.
Edit the 2nd: I must be one of the few people around who still has a copy of Tales of Gargentir!

Cheers,
Franko
