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.

Best setting written in the Noughties ?

Then my dreams are complete, and I can shuffle my Mortal Coil* off to Buffalo, on a Buffalo wing and a player. Not only that, I can go back to spelling my name properly!

* A figure of speech - I don't actually own Mortal Coil, so I can't shuffle it off, by definition!

Quote from: SettembriniPuppetland, as a setting, is totally not a story game. Anyway, it´s an inspiring read, and that´s all that counts.

It´s Tron/Matrix/Aasimov-Robots on strings (pun intended).

To stay in the Tron/Matrix picture - who or where are the Users/real Humans?
Swords & Wizardry & Manga ... oh my.

Just as well that you didn't snort silently. Independant reports by didi-men say that this causes irreversible damage to your giggle gland.

Definitely, and I think the thread ends with that to be honest.  Wonderland is hard to trump.

Have to say, the one Wonderland campaign I played in was a blast. (The GM had the genius idea of incorporating all sorts of elements of House of Leaves...)
I am no longer posting here or reading this forum because Pundit has regularly claimed credit for keeping this community active. I am sick of his bullshit for reasons I explain here and I don\'t want to contribute to anything he considers to be a personal success on his part.

I recommend The RPG Pub as a friendly place where RPGs can be discussed and where the guiding principles of moderation are "be kind to each other" and "no politics". It\'s pretty chill so far.

For me, it is a tie between Wonderland and the Nobilis setting, which really are not so different as one would at first suppose.
