    Question Saw some Books

    First thread and first post, sorry if this isnt quite the right section, while walking home past a sort of pawn shop I saw several roleplaying game books/sets for only £2-£3 each and wondered if any were worth purchasing, heres a list of what i saw-

    • Jorune
    • Advanced Runequest and Runequest Bestiary
    • Gurps Horror,Basic Set Supers and Wildcards
    • Etherscope
    • Shatterzone
    • Daredevils
    • Marvel Universe,DC universe
    • The Terror of Ravenloft, 2nd edtion
    • Exalted, First edtion


    Im not entirely sure of their respective editions or full names due to darkness so apoligies if thats an important issue , thanks.

    I saw Etherscope before. It looks like a rather interesting Victoriapunk setting.

    Do you like rolling dice? If so stay away from Marvel Universe: it is "resource allocation". Make your own marvel system if it comes to that.

    As for the others, never played/seen them.

    Thanks for the responses, I ended up getting GURPS basic set (3rd edition) and Horror and Ssupers, (second edition) for £4 and £3 each so im pretty happy. Looking through they seem to have been a good buy and a solid system. They also had a copy of exalted which I considered as it seems somewhat popular. The only dungeons and dragons product I found was a second edition copy of Ravenloft which looked quite interesting. There were also several books to strange mostly occult based RPGS and copies and Champions.

    I really cant remember their names, they had generic names and taglines the only one I remember was called chill, some of them looked fantasticly complicated .

    No more to do with deamons and spirits and such, I presume your thinking of the Whitewolf games.
