I own a lot of RPGs. I mean a LOT. It's a weakness with me. Or an addiction. But that's between me and any future therapist that I get. Most of them are in PDF form. I have a comb binding machine so if a like a game enough I print out a copy and bind it into a book myself.
My favorite genre of games is Sword & Sorcery. (I think. Because I like SF and post-apoc quite a bit too.) I have quite a few but I've never compiled a list. So that is what I am going to do here. I'm bound to miss a few but I will add those later. I think I have a somewhat narrow view/definition of what S&S is but I am going to list the games that the publishers advertise as S&S. But it will also be tempered by my own judgement.I will state up front, for those who don't know, my favorite S&S game is Barbarians of Lemuria. It is a light, flexible game that can be played in many different S&S settings. Not just the interesting one it comes with. It fact, it has been used for different genres and eras as well and it has been turned into a generic pulp system with Everywhen.
Unfortunately, I haven't played all of them. Or most of them. And there are few I haven't read yet, too. There are several I really want to try out but I actually have very little opportunity to play.
So, here we go:
- Barbarians of Lemuria
