Not products you are waiting for, but stuff you dream of finding. Mine: 1) A good hardcore modern system in the style of Phoenix Command, Millennium's End, Aces&Eights. 2) A good, detailed, well-mapped setting in pike&musket era. 3) A detailed post-apoc setting that isn't zombies (tired of)...

Which is the better depiction of the Dark Sun setting: the original boxed set, or the 4e version. Not system, just the setting.

I'm talking about serious, probably crunchy, systems with a high lethality that intend to portray WW2-present day era combat. Not junk like Modern d20, Shadowpunk, Cybderpunk, or the 'action movie' drek. There's Twilight 2000 series (4th Ed is not bad) and the spinoff, War Stories. Behind...

So looking ahead, I'm thinking after my current campaign ends, I would run Hackmaster 5e again. I'm looking for one of those products that takes players from level 1 to 10+. I don't want D&D because they are too commonly known, and the PCs in D&D are too overpowered. Pathfinder has great...

So, I am looking at a scenario involving a smallish space station where forbidden research on an old AI went wrong, and the the AI (shocker) has gained control. The PCs are sent to investigate (another shocker) OK, so the station has no robots or androids, and other than simple internal...

I'm referring to campaigns, not settings or systems. Published scenarios that are intended to cover extensive periods of PC development that dont get the recognition they deserve. Starting it off: Dark Tower: probably the best of Judge's Guilds offerings, a solid back-story, multi-layers...

I want to have a symbol crop up several times in a campaign, and to provide it to the PCs as an (electronic) prop (jpg, etc). Problem is, I need it in various styles (crisp, blurry, drawn crudely, etc). I have limited MS Paint skills. Is there a method to do this for a low-tech guy?

Anyone familiar with it? I'm looking for a fantasy setting (not system, will use Zweihander), and I liked the look of the map and the rich but compact history, but I haven't gone too deep. Are there any decent published campaigns/scenarios? Does the setting hold up in play? Recommendations?

Its the Digenesis setting, sort of 'emerging from post-apoc'. The PCs are going to be spending ten weeks of downtime in a major city pursuing a project. I've got some politics and intrigue for RP purposes, but what I really want is some minor annoyances to give the period some color and...

So I'm considering running a 50-odd session L5R 4th Edition campaign. I've long admired the setting, but have never run anything in it. Been GMing since '79, though. Any advice for a first-timer in the Emerald Empire? EDIT: we play online with Roll20.

So, its the usual encounter: PCs travelling through howling wilderness encounter native tribe. Natives are not actively hostile, but take the opportunity to force the PCs to do stuff in other to 'earn' the right to travel through their land. Its an old trope. Violent games, getting them to eat...

I need a supplement, preferably fantasy, system immaterial, of a trade event (think Mountain Man rendezvous), or a refugee camp, or a shanty town, or Burning Man type event. Basically a non-permanent or semi-permanent gathering of a couple hundred people. brought together by common cause for...

Normally, there's a chart in RPGs for anything, but Google-fu has let me down. I'm looking for a chart that would let me depict people (who were violent cultists before) who have suffered from failed brainwashing efforts, leaving them unpredictable and randomly illogical. Its not something I...

Planning on running a Fading Suns campaign later this year or early next, using a modified CoC 7th Ed as the system, because FS's sucks. CoC works very well as the system, except that there are no sci-fi versions, so I need a space combat system to port in. d100 would work best. Any...

What systems put out long campaigns besides D&D and Pathfinder? War Hammer has the undying Death on the Riek/Power Behind The Throne, which is sort of long. What other systems produce a product or series of products which potentially take you from beginner all the way to 'I'm too old for this...

It seems like every rules set/setting that isn't historical has some group, class, race, organization, etc with secret runes, symbols, cant, etc which are intended to allow members to warn each other, kind of like hobo symbols from the 1890s-1950s. I've always been interested in the...

In the series the ship movement was somewhat realistic. Does the RPG replicate this, or is it just the usual WW1 dogfighting in space?

Don't even say 7th Sea. And to save time, I'm not interested in 'you could easily convert setting X' It doesn't have to be historical, but definitely post-feudal, matchlock/wheelock, decline of armor, emergence of a middle class, and so forth. System has no impact, but I already have the...

I know there's been several over the years.

Does it use the same ruleset as Vampire the Requiem? I've been reading reviews, but they are not clear. The reason I ask is that Roll20 has produced a VtR PC sheet, but not a Hunter sheet.
