So I'm looking for a new game to supplement my addiction. I'm interested in finding a game with as many of the following parameters as possible. No Magic. Or magic that is very rare - a world where a +1 Sword is passed down for generations and hailed as a King Maker. A world that is closer to Historical Fiction than Fantasy. But with enough freedom to insert orcs and goblins and the what not. d6, d20, d% does not matter. Classless or Classes don't matter. My group is very visual oriented for combat, so if I can't use a battlemat I don't think it will work. Now I thought the LotR RPG may be my game, but after reading its entry on the almighty Wikipedia I don't think it is. However, a game that could take place in the LotR universe with tweaking could be cool. Any suggestions my friends?

Which isn't to say you were wrong for posting here, but you were wrong. And not so much because there are other forums but because the regulars here are quirky individuals (in case you didn't already notice) that are not likely to take any serious RPG discussion seriously (at least not in the OTT).

And there are so many versions of Risk, one can easily find the version he wants to roleplay, from Napoleonic era stuff up to sci-fi space genres! And they even have a LotR version!(link below) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_licensed_R... Another option could be Loot n Scoot from Victory Point Games, or any of their fantasy games really. (link below) victorypointgames.com/results.php?catego... Hope this helps!

#9 Robin_Hoodlum Feb 11, 2012 22:46:39	I'm also a big fan of Axis & Allies, . You do know a guy made an "unauthorized" expansion (which is actually an entirely new game) of A&A, right? That is 1000 times better than HASBROs, right? www.xenogames.com/productspage.php?code=...
