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.

Dogs in the Vineyard. Only I don't know if it is actually amazing because I've never read the darn thing. It just keeps being brought up.

Skyrealms of Jorune. Best is 2e. Rules are not amazing, but with the setting and art it's one of the most remarkable and fully realised RPG experiences the hobby has brought us. Crying shame that it's dead as a doornail.
You can shake your fists at the sky. You can do a rain dance. You can ignore the clouds completely. But none of them move the clouds.

God where to begin. Amber Diceless rpg, Thieves Guild(which was the basis for the thief video game series), and probably thousands of others I've never heard of.

It is still out of print... It just happens that there is still back stock and it didn't disappear. Plus Book #1 has a bunch of good stuff in it...

I have 1e of it somewhere, I think. You're right about the rules. But the setting is worth it.
