Wow is there really only two more posts left after today? This years hashtag has flown by.

So here is today’s post…

For me today’s theme is straight out the different RPGs out there (and there are a lot).

Below is a list of the different RPG systems I own:

• Genesys (Terrinoth, Android, Keyforge)
• Judge Dredd and Worlds of 2000 A.D (Strontium Dog, Rogue Trooper)
• Paranoia
• The End of The World (Zombie Apocalypse, Alien Invasion)
• Alien
• Cyberpunk Red
• Star Wars RPG 30th Anniversary edition
• Thunderbirds
• Judge Dredd RPG 1985
• Judge Dredd RPG 2002
• Elfquest
• D&D 5e
• Fate Condensed
• Twilight 2000 4e
• The One Ring 2e

I know, I know the last two aren’t officially out. But I do have the early pdf copies of the rules that they released to backers. After all I backed them, and shipping chaos allowing will have the physical stuff before the year ends.

What surprises me is how many of the ones I own are d6 based, and build a dice pool of some kind.

There is only one that uses custom dice, and that is the Genesys system. Although the dice app for it is now free. With those d6 systems some may have official dice with one or two of the numbers replaced with a symbol. That is a nice touch and doesn’t stop the game being played with regular d6. Unlike the Genesys system that is unplayable without its custom dice.

The only d20 based systems I have are the obvious D&D and the 2002 Judge Dredd RPG.

I also like how my RPG collection is more scifi leaning than fantasy. Although I love both genres.

After coming across the year zero engine in the Alien RPG from Free League I’m impressed how flexible the system is. It is used in all of there RPGs which cover a handful of genres. But I’m still impressed with how they used it in the Alien RPG and it’s stress mechanic. It sold me on the game. So it’s not a surprise that I have more than one of the Free League RPGs now.

It looks like I also skew to systems that are for an IP I like or love such as LoTR, Judge Dredd, Star Wars, Elfquest and Thunderbirds.

I’d love to know what you think my RPG collection says about me.
