RPG Gallery
Here we have a selection of role playing game covers, more like a gallery of RPGs:
Call of Cthulhu – Chaosium’s Basic Role Playing (BRP) system is used to fuel the nightmare world envisioned by 20s pulp horror writer H.P. Lovecraft.
Feng Shui – Modern action movie roleplaying with pretty simple and intuitive rules, though I tend to simplify my sessions even more with ideas from Wushu.
Chill – Out of print Mayfair games horror offering, modernized from the also out of print Pacesetter original release, Chill was, at the time, probably one of the better contenders for horror roleplaying, and relied on a less arcane system of knowledge and world mythology than Call of Cthulhu.
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay – Spending a good ten years out of print, Warhammer nonetheless managed to achieve a solid fanbase with its simple but rich mechanics and world info.
Judge Dredd – A British import, this game and the Stallon movie of the same name, was based on the comic book. It has some interesting future tech ideas, but seems overcomplicated.
Rolemaster – Presuming you possess all the other requisite “Law” books that accompany it (Claw Law, Arms Law, Magic Law, Garden Law, Picnic Law, etc), this could probably rival D&D for its sheer number of supplments.
Heroes Unlimited – Essentially a prototype of Champions, using the older Hero system.
Danger International – Essentially the reverse, using Champions to do a spy game.
Hero – The streamlined 90s rules for the Hero universal system
Call of Cthulhu – An older edition of this horror classic

About The Author
A bit of a correction, if I may: Heroes Unlimited isn’t the same thing as HERO System. The former uses Palladium’s engine, with random-rolls for just about everything instead of the latter’s point-buy system. HU uses the same engine as Rifts or Palladium Fantasy.
Thank you so much for the correction, and it’s very kind of you to stop by, Kinslayer, I appreciate the visit. I did indeed get confused, though I own (obviously) both books, it’s been a while since I cracked either one open and I guess the two just sort of melded together in my dodgy memory, but you have set me straight.
