Least Fun Game of the Year

Diaspora. I just didn't "grok" it (as I believe the kids would put it).

Most Fun Game of the Year

Actually, it was probably the one-shot of Risus we played. The Cyberpunk 2020 campaign was fun and extremely unlike how a Cyberpunk 2020 game really should be (it mostly involved impromptu DJing in inappropriate circumstances). And there were some great moments in the Rules Cyclopedia and LotFP games because, well, D&D always has great moments.

    1. Yeah, I heard about that. What is it about Nazis and cheesy names?

  2. Don't forget Murderous Ghosts!

    I thought that the world generation aspects of Diaspora were great, likewise for character gen. Maybe different mechanics were all we needed...

    1. Oh yeah, I did forget that. Will amend the list.

      I agree that the world and character creation mechanics were a lot of fun. I think the fact is I just prefer more traditional game systems.

  3. Where did you find Microscope? I haven't seen it at any game stores around here and obviously searching on the internet just finds lots of actual microscopes.
    I heard its a fun game.

      Well worth spending the money on.
