Day 23 of #RPGaDay2023 and the prompt is asking my demographic what's cool.
For each day I'll be answering the question provided, and for fun, review how I answered a similar question during #RPGaDay a decade ago. Scout's Honor, I have not peeked at the older answer.
Day 23's prompt is "Coolest Looking RPG Product or Book"
I know I'm dating myself, but the Coolest Looking RPG would have to pass the "Waldenbooks" test. The gaming section in the Waldenbooks in the Palmer Park Mall was a solid vertical panel in the back corner of the store. There was tons of D&D, but there was also a better selection of other RPGs than most stores I visit nowadays.
Certain books just called to me from the shelves:
The Temple of Elemental Evil: And most of the BECMI boxed sets (Immortal was mediocre art and the gold was horrible...)A pdf copy of the game is available on DrivethruRPG, but it's an average scan and it's overpriced.
Ten Years Ago Today: The End had me back then as well. It's a shame I never got the chance to play it.
Those are all great choices.
