Post by: PiSketch on May 09, 2007, 05:35:46 pm: Hmmm. I think i'd have to go for Avernum 2. Excellent, old style game. It can be found, along with it's four counterparts, at www.avernum.com . Shareware, but well worth it.

D&D lost its soul when WotC took over, and THACO was eliminated. ;)

I've tried to like the FF series, I really have, but there always comes a point at which the tight, well-paced, dramatic plot I've been sucked into just falls to pieces and you spend hours wandering around until you happen accross a solution. FF6 and 7 are the worst offenders for this, I think.

Edit: the only pen'n'paper RPG I can be arsed with is Dogs In The Vineyard, because it's so very narratist and involves precisely zero faffing about looking stuff up on tables.
