RPG Recommendations

There are thousands of role-playing games around, so amongst this vast array of fascinating products how can you possibly find those that would interest you most? That's where the collective expertise of the friendly RPGG community can help you. Collectively we have uncountable centuries of experience playing every type of game imaginable, and we'd be delighted to share our opinions with you.

This page collects together a list of recommendations for different types of gamers. If you're looking for something to appeal to your tastes, have a look to see if anyone has already done the hard work of compiling suggestions that are aimed exactly at you. Each link here is to a GeekList that is aimed at a specific set of people.

  • Those items listed here without links have been requested, but no GeekList currently exists to fill that gap.
  • Do you see a category here for which you can authoritatively make recommendations? Why not create a new GeekList and add a link on this page!
  • Is there a category you would like to see but isn't already listed here? Why, just edit this page and add your request. Someone may be kind enough to create the appropriate GeekList.

By style of play

  • RPGs for casual gamers
  • RPGs for storytellers
  • RPGs for simulationists (games with realistic mechanics)
  • RPGs for parents (games that adults can play with children)
  • RPGs for miniature gamers
  • RPGs for old school gamers (classic games and retro-clones)
  • RPGs for one-shot play

By interest

  • RPGs for gearheads
  • RPGs for mages, sorcerers, warlocks and wizards!
  • RPGs for gun bunnies (some overlap with gearheads)
  • RPGs for dungeon crawlers
  • RPGs for pacifists (games without combat)
  • RPGs for Discordians
  • RPGs for deviants (unsuitable subject matter for most folks)

For fans of other works

  • RPGs for Tolkien fans
  • RPGs for Harry Potter fans

To do on this page:

  • Add notes on the appropriate format for and maintenance of a GeekList of RPG recommendations (perhaps as simple as copy the style of this example GeekList).
  • Review the broad categorisation above, and somehow order the list of GeekLists.
