I mean, you've eliminated the ones that only have zero or one reply. So...all the rest? :)

That's a nifty set there, I hadn't seen that one yet. Really getting out of the loop on Reaper stuff since their last catalog update made browsing less enjoyable. Local store won't even stock them any more - the fill rate from the distributors is too low (probably the distributors' fault) and...

I'm morbidly curious, does he have two or four of them? Reaper seems to like surprising people with unexpected testicles, their foo dog sculpt is carefully photographed so you can't see the quite prominent set he's sporting as well. I think I'd rather have the old "demonic lasher" metal...

Oh, I'm familiar, started with Champions 1st ed, no need to sell me on it. Was just curious about what adaptations were used for Traveller. How does it handle starting character points, did they try to vary it based on terms served or something like that?

Well, these days, yes, but like most of their stuff it started out at Grenadier. Lot of really nice monster sculpts from them that still hold up well today. I'm partial to this old swamp critter myself. The now-defunct Pacesetter had a nice resin Demogorgon sculpt too. But my favorite mini...

Surely that would be an Unnatural 20?

Sluggishly finishing up the last few Ngaio Marsh novels I haven't ever gotten around to in an attempt to find something my sister might enjoy, as she's developed a sudden curiosity about mystery as a genre. Most recent was Light Thickens, which was a very odd entry. It's one of several...

How was Traveller Hero, anyway? It's one of the few Traveller things I never tried - none of the local stores ever stocked it and I'm lazy about mail ordering.

That probably explains why it's never let you down. Not everything you skipped was bad by any means, but there were some disappointments between those two. Still much more likely to reach for LBB than any of the other GDW editions, honestly.

Sort of, but that still meant SJG was taking a chance on the existing late-90s fan base wanting to play in an unfamiliar system rather than going with Imperium's T4 rules (which were closer to Classic Traveller) or just continuing to use one of the earlier GDW systems in whatever setting they...

Even including the all GDW editions it's somewhere in my personal top three or four, and I don't even consider myself that big of a GURPS fan. I give them a lot of credit for just flat-out saying "no, that never happened" to the metaplot that started in MT and led to TNE, which was pretty bold...

Have to admit, much as I like Traveller I wouldn't go that far myself. Wasn't thrilled with TNE, nor with T4, and even less so with T20. The IP's still got a good track record but it's had some disappointments as well.

A villain written up to resolve a lingering Major Twist effect from a campaign that ended before I could use him. Well, maybe someday… Musclemind Maximus, Not As Dead As Expected Seriously, when you stop the Doomsday Device on the last turn with a Major Twist to boot, that villain you dumped...

Maybe not as a title, but just declare your parents were both named Pope before they got married, decided to hyphenate it, and then pulled a Catch-22 Major Major Major Major thing and made your first and middle names Pope and Pope. You can at least start as Pope Pope Pope-Pope. Don't fancy...

Correct. It's a handy visual filter for me. I still look at new ones but with a rare few exceptions anything with more than a few pages of posts gets skipped. I dislike the amount of cruelty to deceased equines that tends to arise after a fairly short while.
