My Alpha Omega books just arrived. They are quite handsome, and I look forward to playing the game.

Now that Barbarians of the Aftermath is out, I have a favorite new rules-light style PA game. It also has a lot of stuff for generating PA settings and adventures, so it's a good pretty good "idea mine" even if you don't like the system.
The Underdark, of course......

So envious.
So awesome.
Best part about dnd gaming was the Underdark. One was not a true expert player until one adventured in the Underdark, and survived. Ahh, the memories.

Community SupporterMy favorite dark future is definitely Alternity's Dark matter. I really like the Alternity system in general.
I've got to go with Shadowrun. The nice mix of fantasy and cyberpunk worked well for me. I loved the fiction around it and even helped playstest it on the old compuserve boards.
Well, its hard to beat Shadowrun... but thats pretty limited in scope. I have 2 other dark future games, the first is a custom modified Star Frontiers campaign thats been running for almost 15 years or so. Its Bladerunner-esque in some part, like a dream in others, the mega-corp owned worlds and then there's the hard life on the Rim and outer worlds. Lastly i've run a few games in a custom milieu called Ancient Futures - its a conspiracy driven multi-world and time and genre spanning game wherein different gods and powers struggle for the control of the races of sentient beings... and their dreams.

Oh, that sounds like fun. Wish you weren't so far north.
The choices should've included Cyberpunk 2020 & Cyberpunk 3rd ed. Instead of just Cyberpunk , as the cyberpunk community is split of the editions ( much like how it's split between Rolemaster2/Classic & RMSS/RMFRPG in the RM community). BTW any Cyberpunk 3rd. ed fans here ?
My own soon-to-be-published setting named Inceptum Terminus: Chronicles of the New Confederation for the Hero System 6th Edition. Of course, I'm just biased.
My vote would have to be dark heresy, and WoD in a close second
It's all GENETIC!
