Some fantasy roleplaying game suggestions


The Question:

"Are there any good medieval fantasy games besides Dungeons & Dragons? I like the magic and stuff, but I just don't want the D&D"

The Answer:

Well, it depends on a bit how crunchy You want it or is it easy to learn or is it ok if it takes its time to learn it... but here are few different kind of suggestions that You might enjoy:




* Harn and Harnmaster. It is very authentic and realistic medieval roleplaying gaming. Low Fantasy, high realism. Crunchy, realistic, darkish with a bit dark humour, simulationish... Well-done game product line. I love it.




* Rune Quest, Hero Wars, Hero Quest are totally great old school roleplaying games. The gaming world, of those games, is called Glorantha and it is literally very fantastic! For the Rune Quest, there is lots and loads of different kind of supplements, eg. how to make your own fantasy cities -guide books, and setting books (+ adventures) of Lankhmar for the Rune Quest rules.





* Stormbringer and Elric! are fantasy roleplaying games, with simpler mechanics than Rune Quest and such. Gaming in the world of Michael Moorcock's world of Elric from Melnibone





* Savage Worlds, especially with Lankhmar world setting (FREE testdrive file of the SW: Lankhmar game setting) which has quite a few cool supplements and few good adventures. Lankhmar is creation of Fritz Leiber. Pulpy high fantasy books with grimmish style. And the Lankhmar gaming books for Savage Worlds catch the atmosphere in a quite catchy way.



Hopefully You enjoyed this brief game suggestion article of mine. I like to write about the things I know that are useful for the people who are starting their gaming hobby. But I also tend to build my text, in the way that they are also interesting to people who are already ganing. I wish You good readung sessions, and even better playing sessions!
