Recommend me stuff!
September 29th, 2008
Long story short, I’ve got a gift certificate at Amazon that I’d forgotten about that needs to be used relatively soon.
While I have plenty on my wishlist, I figured it might be a good time to ask for recommendations. I already know I’m picking up Savage Worlds, because I’ve heard a lot of good things about it and the price is too low to pass up. But aside from that one, what great games are out there that I should consider picking up?
And what is it about them that makes them special?
Suggestions for inspirational novels, movies, music, etc. also welcome.

The guy behind Gorillaz recently released Monkey: Journey to the West…it’s the soundtrack to the stage adaptation of the 16th century Chinese epic…I picked it up the other day; good stuffs…great background gaming music…epic enough for your standard D&D game, but with a little asian/futuristic twang that make it perfect for a game themed likewise (Firefly RPG, anyone?)…
Hm, I’ll give it a listen. I liked the Firefly series, though I’ve never tried the RPG.
Thanks!
It might be strange but I have been alternating my purchases, one new gaming item and one old. I have started buying stuff that I played when I was young and really enjoyed but never was able to buy or play more then a couple of times. My recommendation is Car Wars by Steve Jackson Games.
Car Wars… is that still in print? I actually used to own the boxed set and an expansion or two… chances are I still have it around here somewhere. Maybe I’ll look into what’s out there now for it. Thanks!
