Real RPGs, none of that new fangled computer bullshit

[The Brain]

I'm currently running The Enemy Within campaign for Warhammer FRP 4th Edition for two separate groups.  The amount of detail in this campaign is staggering. There are five modules each comes with a main campaign boob and a separate companion book.  Pus thee are separate location books (such as for the city of Middenheim where two of the modules are based).  In the end there are over 2,000 pages of material for the campaign. Every character, no matter how minor, has a detailed background description with potential story hooks.

I'm currently playing it (not running it). I didn't experience it back in the day, so it's nice that it has returned.

Love the setting and world building, hate the rules. A lot. I've tried to stomach campaigns twice and just cannot stand how dreadful the rules system is. Also, I think the breadth of the setting can hurt it if the group and gm aren't focused on making a coherent narrative and party.

Reading/ playing through Warlock of Firetop Mountain (Fighting Fantasy) with my boy. I remember getting the book one Christmas around his age and being absolutely enthralled. Pretty soon after that I was off to the races with Basic D&D.

He rolled exceedingly well during character creation, so we've been dealing with even tough challenges fairly easily. I fear I may be setting him up with expectations of success that are too high....

My first Fighting Fantasy gamebook was Caverns of the Snow Witch but I got Warlock either second or third, the other book being House of Hades (which IIRC was released as House of Hell in the UK/Canada).

Mine was Starship Traveller that a classmate brought to school. I know it has a bit of a mixed reputation, not least for having a critical path that is very easy to miss early on. Oddly, that didn't bother me much. I was much more taken by its capturing the feeling of a series of Star Trek episodes (the book is structured into a number of planets/situations you encounter) and by how big and expansive it made the book feel at the time.

I used to play Champions and Fantasy Heroes.

Yeah, me to.

Has anyone read the modern RuneQuest books (rulebook, bestiary, etc)? Are they nice books? I have never played RuneQuest.

I'm running Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden for my fiancee, one of my daughters & a few friends right now. Good times...

I might play in that when one of my current campaigns is done.
