Okie, so it looks looks like everyone is doing their list of 15 games. Can't blame them, as pretty much every list I've looked at has had a few games that made me go "Damn! I wish I had a chance to play that!"
Anyhow, here's my list, in no particular order:
1 - Risk - classic set with the caltrop pieces
2 - Castles & Crusades - it made old school new
3 - AD&D - my intro to RPGs and my mainstay for years
4 - Chaos Marauders - one of our mainstays when we didn't have a full group for the gaming session
5 - Rifts - insane game, maybe that's why my first character was a "Crazy" ;)
6 - MERP - a fun alternative to AD&D. Bolas were a dangerous weapon against the PCs

8 - Spacemaster - I ran this more often then Traveller

11 - Battlelords of the 23rd Century - I never understood the rules, but the guns were big and we had fun playing
12 - Nuclear War - sometime you just need to nuke someone
13 - Warhammer FRP - it was a blast the first time around, and Dark Hearsay was the first Fantasy Grounds campaign I played in
14 - Ultima Series - Sometimes a good story beats lame graphics
15 - Anarchy Online - a MMORPG that also supported solo play? go figure

ReplyDeleteI've always had a soft spot for Rifts, though it didn't make my 15.
ReplyDeleteChaos Marauders - I almost totally forgot about that game until I read your great list.....of course many pints of beer were consumed while playing. I guess that is why my memory is a bit fuzzy but at least it is a happy nostalgic blur.
ReplyDeleteWSW - those were some fun days. I'd bring it to the next Gathering of Fools, but i think it will take too long to get Daev to focus ;)
ReplyDeleteThat would be awesome.
