Your article makes me think that in recent years there's been plenty of niche kickstarter computer related documentaries too, and then a series of RPG history tomes. If you teamed up with an eager filmmaker you could get in on the ground floor and at least do the most obvious documentary, the early history of D&D, TSR and the 80s moral panic. :) You might even get an opportunity to grill Tom Hanks about selling out nerds everywhere. :D Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-33892970166710235912018-06-11T22:47:04.440-03:002018-06-11T22:47:04.440-03:00Jack: Just a question of figuring out where the be...Jack: Just a question of figuring out where the best stories are.<br /><br />Mike: It's less a question of preference than what would actually go in such a series. And there are indeed Doctor Who RPGs. One by FASA that clones its engine from Trek, in fact. In the 90s there was Timelord. And currently, the Cubicle 7 game is wonderful and if you click either the RPG or Doctor Who tab, you won't have far to go to see I run it and write about it A LOT. While you're perusing tabs, under MORE OF SISKOID, the "DWAITAS Project" is actually a series of fan-made sourcebooks I put together with friends covering all the Dr Who stuff from books and audios in RPG form.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-49147440238835085102018-06-11T15:32:06.790-03:002018-06-11T15:32:06.790-03:00My own gaming evolution went thru T&T to Toon ...My own gaming evolution went thru T&T to Toon to Teenagers From Outer Space to discover the mechanics-light space (with some time spent at Ghostbusters and WEG Star Wars) before rumbling off into the wonderland of Amber Diceless for a long while.<br /><br />So the mechanics light space space probably needs representation.Jack Gulickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334670182205910415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-51324094888660212692018-06-11T15:20:57.600-03:002018-06-11T15:20:57.600-03:00I agree about GURPS; it's great because there ...I agree about GURPS; it's great because there are so many different sourcebooks you can play whatever genre/era you like. My favourite is Cliffhangers ... I love that Pulp sensibility (also present in stuff like Daredevils, Spirit of the Century, etc.)<br /><br />I like old school D&D (Moldvay Basic was my intro), but I'm really liking Pathfinder these days; it's a D&D clone, but the Adventure Paths are pretty cool, some more than others (Skull & Shackles ... it's all about pirates!)<br /><br />I'm surprised you left out FASA's Star Trek RPG (or its successors), knowing what a big fan you are. I haven't played it but I've looked it over and it seems pretty cool; great star maps. Speaking of stuff you love, is there a Doctor Who RPG? Seems like it'd be a natural.<br /><br />Mike W.http://www.eruditegorilla.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-71946152282189191402018-06-11T11:08:48.809-03:002018-06-11T11:08:48.809-03:00Not surprisingly, my choices are skewed away from ...Not surprisingly, my choices are skewed away from what I perceive to be math-heavy games.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-74130587475153047552018-06-11T10:55:07.412-03:002018-06-11T10:55:07.412-03:00I think you have to have the Hero System eventuall...I think you have to have the Hero System eventually.
