That would be the RPG-7, a Vietnam-era Soviet-issue weapon that has become popular around the world since. If you’ve seen the movie “Black Hawk Down,” then you’ve seen them in action. They’re what the Somalis used to shoot down the helicopters, both in the movie and in reality.
I’ve played AD&D,Shadowrun,Amber,as well as both Table Top and LARP World of Darkness
My favorite has to be White Wolf’s World of Darkness on Tabletop.(or Storyteller Series) I prefer to Storytell Werewolf:The Apocolapse.(2nd Edition) I prefer to play Mage:The Ascention.(2nd Edition) These two cells are very different from Vampire: The Masqurade, Changling and Wraith. (The latter two I liked very little)I guess I prefer them to the other three because they involve spirituality and character growth as opposed to power gaming.The triumveral nature of Werewolf’s spirituality strangly appeals to my pagan side. IMnsHO there is no better system for working maigc then the sphere system in Mage.
I like how at least two thirds of the people responding to this thread clearly didn’t bother to actually read the OP. Rather telling, I think.
My friends and I get together in the basement every Sunday with a bowlful of snacks and our RPGs and we just have a blast.
And when I say blast, I mean that very very literally.
Oh, and me and a bunch of my fellow Buffy fanatics have started an SMG fan club. General consensus favors the MP5, but I’ve always had a softspot for the Thompson.
RPGs, SMGs, GMGs, GPMGs… we should have a blanket organization to cover appreciation of all of these wonderful acronyms.
How about other classics? Like the Panzerfaust? Or maybe the pre-RPG Panzerbuchse?
I think it’s hilarious! 
And Miller, make mine a Thompson.
It can be, Trucido. However, I understand the newer Stealth abilities will greatly reduce the sound of this going over people’s heads.
Legend of Zelda series? Those games are RPG/Adventure right?
OG DAMN YOU, Satisfying Andy Licious!
Hell with it. I love Persona 2, so there!
My favorite RPGs are the ones in the RPG Wasteland. Good for making things explode like blood sausage.
Naw, there’s nothing remotely RPGish about Zelda. There’s no stat building to speak of, unless you count collecting heart pieces, and there’s no real character interaction or role-playing. It’s no more an RPG than Super Mario Brothers. Wonderful games, just not RPGs.
The Baldur’s Gate games were real-time RPGs. So was Planescape: Torment and the Icewind Dale games. And Deus Ex was a FPS RPG, and therefore real time.
The best role playing game in the universe is, without question, CHAMPIONS!
Champions, Champions, Champions!
It’s based on – nay, it was the basis of – the HERO system, which I might add is far more Generic and Universal than a certain other so-called generic universal role playing system put out by Steve Jackson games.
Back when I played (in the 1980s), I accrued a stack of self-written Champions characters over an inch-and-a-half thick! (Admittedly, some were joke characters like Offensive Ego Combat Value Woman, but still…)
D’OH!!! :smack:
I read the OP, I just didn’t click on any of the links. No, really!
In my own defense, a rocket-propelled grenade would probably do about a 3D6 explosion-effect Killing Attack in Champions.
I still think the old TurboGrafx 16 had some of the most enjoyable RPGs for me. Ys book I and II were great (III was more an action game than anything), and Dragon Slayer was a lot of fun too. Sure, there are some really great ones out now, but for old-school fun, the TG16 had some winners.
Damn, got me too. Way too late for me to do any thinking.
Well, it’s nice to see such a nice bunch of LAW abiding people.
In Fallout and Fallout 2, you get to play with Rocket Lauchers, athough they aren’t RPG’s.
Thank you Andy. No thread has made me laugh more than this one has. q;}
