are right here!
Are you looking for the best of the best? Then look no further my gamer geek friends. I've been playing and loving roleplaying games for a long time now and consider myself somewhat of an expert with them.
Take a look at some of my favorites and vote for yourself too. Make sure to rate this lens and to leave some love in the guestbook.
Here they are folks!
Table top role playing games has been a more of a life for me than just a hobby, so I want to share with you my top four favorites. A lot of you are thinking that there probably are only four of them out anyway, but I assure you that there are hundreds out there these days. Take a look and vote for your favorites!

Dungeons and Dragons
Here are some of my favorite modules and sourcebooks for D&D. This list will let you guys, the other RPG geeks, in on the action too. Feel free to add your own favorites. The only rule is that IT MUST BE a Dungeons and Dragons sourcebook or module.

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!
*OP Guide to the Technocracy (Mage: The Ascension) by Phil Brucato
You can't play mage without knowing everything abo more...1 point
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.

- I have to say that is one of the few lists I've read that I can't rip apart. OWOD Mage is by far the best tabletop game ever made, playing either traditions or technocracy. Only change I would make is take Star Wars out of the top 4 (still in top 10, however) and substitute it for 7th Sea from AEG.

- Where is Call of Cthulhu? Easily the most cerebral RPG ever made. A terrible oversight!
DnD, well, its fine for beginners and muchkin powergamers who cry without their 5 swords, real men prefer a challenge!
