On the topic of MERP, Rolemaster Express is simply MERP without the setting.

You should! And so you could try Rêve de Dragon :)

That's the old Games Workshop supers game, isn't it?


Certainly is.  I understood a few years ago it was being revived by the author under the nameSquadron UK.  Lost track of it though.

Deadlands was pretty neat, especially for when it was released. It helped get me back into gaming after a number of years away from the scene.

It lost the plot a bit with the "never let a month go by without releasing two products" philosophy, but the core releases were excellent.

Oh, yes, the TSR and Mongoose school of publishing. :)

So what was the original question?

Yeah, well obviously it's Traveller. Right?

It could have been Villains & Vigilantes, except my brother joined the Air Force and my neighbor moved to Arizona.

Can't make my friends interested in SUPER HEROES, but cast them adrift in space aboard a derilict alien space ship and they're hooked!

One thing I liked from the very beginning about Traveller was that it seemed elegant. My younger self was really intrigued by the clean typeface, the stark red-and-black covers, and the sense that there was an honest-to-God system in place.

There were days when I wasn't in the mood for yet another rules search in the stream-of-consciousness AD&D rulebooks. I often played Traveller on those days.
