RPGs- what are you in to now?

[Praetorian]

Lately I have rediscovered Shadowrun 3rd ed. and am buying up the supplements as fast as I can read them. I have really been enjoying the backstory to the setting- and have been going through Corporate Download as fast as I can because it is fun reading. I have Dragons of the 6th World on my desk begging to be read- and Shadows of North America was a great purchase and read (and responsible for my renewed interest). The rules are a bit dense- but, uncharacteristically, I really dig the density of Shadowrun's rules.

I also have been delighted by the direction of the supplements for Feng Shui. Friends of the Dragon was a great book with lots of good crunch for my favorite system... Blowing up Hong Kong was a long awaited book that lived up to my expectations. Now, they have a monster book slated for release and I am pretty excited about that. I still have yet to buy Gorilla Warfare- but, man, oh man, I want it.

Anyone else? Any commercial products of lines really impressing you so far?

I recently played around with Deep 7's 1-Page RPG system for running some pick up games...really nice for "inbetween" games or folks that don't have a ot of experience with RPG's. Lots of genres covered for cheap, with cheap or cheap-as-free downloadable scenarios on the website. Definitely not crunchy or dense, system-wise, but expandable and adaptable for just about everything.

Also have been getting experience with Decipher's Lord of the Ring's RPG. Like a lot of Decipher's stuff, beautiful presentation, mediocre execution. I'm finding myself underwhelmed with the experience rules-wise. Pinnacle/great White Games' Savage World System still looks shiny, but I've yet to get any actual play/run time in with it.

I've been pouring through a lot of independent/free press stuff lately (mostly going through John Kim's Free RPG listings), looking at different resolution mechanics and concepts in character generation. Lots of interesting seperate bits, but no one thing that has stood out for me.

Thanks for those suggestions Griffik! I just joined a new D&D 3.5 group two weeks ago. We play every two weeks. I'm still new to any post Ad&d rules and still write my adventures with AD&D rules. anyway? Le'me go start that 24 hour rpg topic. i'm crunched for time this evening. Argh!

Still running Icar. Always will. Suggested running Paranoia, StickPirate or Tales of The Wood and my players set fire to a policeman in protest.
