Shadowrun

Being a huge fan of William Gibson and Philip K. Dick fan, the cyber-punk world of Shadowrun is a natural offshoot of my obsession. Here are a few of my favorite sourcebooks and modules that you can feel free to add to.

Mage

Mage has always been one of my favorite games. I said before that I consider it the thinking man's game and that is so very true. Where most magic useing type games give you a whole big ass list of spells, this one does not. You have to understand the ideals and basics of the various spheres of magic in order to make your own spells happen. Then, on top of that, you have to cast them in a way that "normal" people can just write the effects off as something ordinary or you get whisked away to the quiet by some nasty demon types for screwing with reality. Here are some of my favorite Mage books, feel free to add your own!

Star Wars

Being a geek, it is kind of a prerequisite to be a fan of Star Wars, so it would make sense that I like to play around in that universe. Playing "Historic" has alwasy been one of my favorites. Just to be able to fly along-side Luke at the battle of Yavin-4 or to battle for Endor is really pretty cool. These are some of my favorite source books for the Star Wars RPG. Let everybody know what yours are by adding to this list.

    Earthdawn ... beats D&D hands-down with a far richer, more detailed world, superb mechanics and a system that actually ties into the lore.

    While Earthdawn was great and created by FASA, who I will always love for making Shadowrun, I think that D&D's Forgotten Realms gaming world bears the history torch a bit higher than EarthDawn.

    "James Bond" from Victory Games. It had a run time of five years (1983-1987) Excellent system.

    As a gamer of over 30 years, I tip my hat to a great lens for a great hobby. Pity no CoC, but still - more power to your dice, young Jedi!
