Re: RPG wanted - not AD&D



Thus spake "sheepdog" <ogme@xxxxxxxxxxxx>, 23 Apr 2006 01:01:00 -0700, Anno
Domini:

Are there any other roleplaying [as distinct from combat] systems apart
from Dungeons & Dragons stuff ? - I like NWN but the AD&D system is,
well, you know...tired.

Is there for example a good sci-fi roleplaying game ?

and what are the alternatives to NWN in the fantasy genre ?

er by roleplaying I mean tending towards group story telling...

Vampire The Masquerade:Bloodlines. Best crpg since Fallout/Torment imo -
enjoyed it more than Kotor for example. But be warned, it has vampires & you
play one of then, so you're the bad guy, one way or another ;). Also, some
would call it rpg-lite as it's really an action/adventure/rpg hybrid of
sorts, but I would say so what? Just *because* it concentrates on action,
storyline & atmosphere rather than endless asinine stats & phat loot (though
it has both in moderation :) makes it one of the most immersive rpgs ever.
Period.
