Which RPG is the Best?
Most players have one or two roleplaying games that are their favorites. I, for example, regularly play Dungeon & Dragons, but I also enjoy Talan, my monthly LARP. Of course, I’ve played many others in the past. And while I can easily place preference between them, I cannot in good conscience say that any one RPG is the best.
The reason for this is because each RPG has something different to offer. I played a live-action Vampire: The Masquerade chronicle for about a year, and while the combat system was horrible, it allowed me to explore the darker role of a villainous bloodsucker. I played a tabletop Fading Suns campaign one summer in college, which gave me a chance to experience how futuristic science fiction settings could be just as enjoyable as medieval fantasy settings.
The point here is that no one RPG has it all, but each is worthwhile in its own way. I would advise anyone who truly believes that they are playing the “best” RPG to branch out and explore other possibilities. You may be pleasantly surprised.
