Hello RPPR crew. I'm here to ask if it is in your plans to try some indie rpgs and recommend some titles I think would be very interesting.
For the possibility of podcasting some of them, I very much liked the don't rest your head session. I imagine that this liking is restricted not only to myself, and other viewers would find this idea very amusing. So, I would like to present some titles that I think are the most innovative, fun or geniously well built systems. I would like to hear your opinions and plans on the comments, if possible.
Tittles:
. Dogs in the vinyard: A setting with a very heavy religious tone, but with a even more innovative system of task resolution. Very, very unique.
. The Questing Beast: Using a variation of the system "The Pool", Questing Beast is a rpg of anthropomorphic animals in the king's arthur fantasy era.
. 3:16 - Carnage among the stars: You've hinted in your podcasts that you know this. I thin its an amazing setting with a very distinct resolution of combat. A short series of sessions would make an interesting event.
. Trollbabes: From the same writter of sorcerer, Trollbabes has one of the best narrativist system I've ever seen. In fact, on par with Apocalypse World, this is one of the best rpgs I've ever seen.
. Sorcerer: A very intense rpg setting with a very unique view in angels and demons and sex. This book is almost as a rpg lesson, and his expansions are one of the most well written I've ever read.
. Conspiracy X (old system): I dont know if you can find it in its old system (now it uses the Unisystem, same as All flesh must be eaten and Angel), but the setting is amazing and has a very unique vision on the Grey, Attlanteans and Saurians. A must read if you loved Gumshoe - Fear Itself and Esoterrorists.
. StickGuy and Risus: Both systems are overly simple and funny. Maybe for spinnofs, but I think you could make a very funny session with those two. Or maybe try something different and use them for serious rpgs.
. Cthulhu Dark: A very simple and straighforward investigative system. Centers around narrativism. Even if you dont podcast it, you, as a cthulhu fan, should read it. Its free and 5 pages long.

http://berinkinsman.wordpress.com/2011/02/22/bad-attitudes-free-rpg/. Apocalypse World: This might be the best story-driven rpg I've ever seen. The setting is, although cliche, perfect. The system is simple, and yet complete. The book is very confusing and very poorly put together. Nevertheless, this is a way of looking at rpg very different from all the mainstream focus.
Out of these, I would like to point specially Sorcerer, Trollbabes and Apocalypse world, specially the last one. Those 3 rpgs changed my view of 17 years playing this lovely hobbie of mine. Although I grew up on D&D and AD&D, those 3 really are something.
So...I would like to hear from you, viewers and crew. Until them, see ya'll
