Never hurd of those ones before.
Top Secret was a spy game, where you were an agent. They gave stats for all the modern weapons rather than swords or lazers. We had a friend who always called the Wealther PPK 'The Government Gun'. Not sure why, not sure why I remember... but we laughed all the time.
These games are old, but not as old as I am!

Rwing! D&D goes without saying! Roll Master 'Role Master?' was far better, it had critical charts and fumble rules.. and was base 100 rather than depending on 3-18 telling you what happened.
Originally posted by PhlabibitThe only thing D&D (3/3.5) uses 3-18 for is base ability scores. Almost everything else is 1-20.

3.5 actually. 😀
Oh, and yes, you are quite correct jewlz. FFVII is cool. 😉
What would it cost to buy all the 3.5 version AD&D books today? What are the books you can get besides:
Dungeon Master's Guide
Monster Manual
Player's Handbook
I know I had more than that... Deities and Demigods... etc.
What is out there now for the D&D buff?

Originally posted by XanthosNZThis is true, I've always had the D20, d4, d8, d12... I just prefered the base 100 of Roll Master, and the criticals and fumbles were great.
I have a thin little red book published before I was born and that uses d20's for many things from memory.
I even remeber a friend who had a d100 for D&D... not sure what we used that for. It was almost round, so took a long time to land is ass I remember about it!

You can play with just the PHB, DMG and MM. The thing with D&D now is it is opensource. You can find most of the above 3 can be found on www.opengamingfoundation.org legally. It also means that any company can publish supplemental books and modules. Some are really good (Green Ronin are well known as a good buy) and some are full of spelling errors and game breaking loopholes.
My favourites were:
Warhammer FRP
Elric
Paranoia (this was a fantastic game!)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Toitles
AD&D
And one I designed myself which I found the book for just the other day. It was called "Campus Chaos" and was based around my first year of university. Fun, but we never played it much because we were too inebriated.
