Apr. 17 This Is an Archive of Actively Maintained Links to RPG Troves Apr. 17 This is an archive of actively maintained links to RPG Troves. Each one is a single game, theme, or publisher, and strives to be complete. See an (offline) trove you mirrored or happen to collect? Toss up a link! It's never too late to become a curator. /Drop, /Donate, /Submit, etc. links are for filling gaps in troves. If you're suspicious of a file's hygiene, please denote so in the filename. - - - PLEASE BUY A COPY OF THE BOOKS THAT YOU USE. - - - - - - - - - - - - - If you wanted to help, you could join the Anon Brigade by becoming a Curator and/or by finding stray PDFs for other Curators. Pick a game or small publisher you like that’s not too big and complete it as best you can easily. Really prolific games can be divided into components; by edition, setting, publisher etc. Upload the pdfs somewhere. Hunt for and request the missing things. If it gets taken down, put it up again later. Using indirect links like $nip li or pasteb!n has a real advantage in that this document will tend to stay valid without constant editing. I found this big honking list of rpgs, that probably means everyone else has known about it for ages. It stopped in 2007, it has descriptions and stuff. http://www.darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ This one started in 2008 http://www.thefreerpgblog.com/ - - - Sorry for the incomplete links and funny L33t spelling of upload site names ss, @SS or $$ is Send Spaace, m3g@ is Megaa, <d0t> is a period or dot as in dot com $n!p<dot>li, s00<dot>gd, and h1v3<dot>@m links are cAsE sEnSeTiVe If $n!p<dot>li is finicky, try $n!pli<dot>com instead. There is a u$ercl0ud and a u$er$cl0ud, be careful to go to the correct one. Add the hypertext protocol colon stuff to the front then the upload site spelled correctly, then add the final gibberish to build a complete link. The most recent version of this document and others can be found at $n!p<dot>li /ShareThread Many of the following troves are down. Some will be intermittently live. I have opted not to update them in the usual (fashion). Requests for specific files will likely be honored, but you are encouraged to mirror anything you find interesting.

Go get a coffee and browse. Some links are encoded without a hyperlink to restrict spiderbot activity. You will have to complete the link. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Als Kinder schnippten wir Steine H. G. Wells, Litte Wars gegen Treibholz im Fluss und phantasierten da- bei von Flugzeugträgern und Kamikazes. Unser Taschengeld floss in Transparentbeutel gratiger Plastikheere in Grün, Braun, Grau (leicht entzündliche Heere, wie wir mit Freude und zum Unmut unserer Eltern bald herausfanden), und Playmobil gewann über Lego, weil es Gewehre und Pistolen hatte. Der Blick des Feldherren über seine Truppen hatte etwas unerklärlich Aufregendes und Erhebendes, und standen sie nur auf den Spiel- brettern von Risiko (Parker Bros., 1959), Axis & Allies (Milton Bradley, 1981) oder Advanced Squad Leader (Avalon Hill, 1985). Wenn wir unsere kleinen Panzer aus Plastik (oder Pappe oder Zinn) von Irkutsk nach Kamtschatka schoben und zum Angriff würfelten, dann fühlten wir uns nicht nur wie, wir waren Gene- räle in den Kommandoräumen, die unweigerlich in jedem Film über den Zwei- ten Weltkrieg auftauchten. Selbst wenn wir den Kriegsdienst verweigerten: Im Nachspielen des Krieges lebten wir einen Traum. Und mit Warcraft (Bliz- zard Entertainment, 1994) und Command & Conquer (Westwood Studios, 1995) träumten wir von elektrischen Heeren. Diese imaginierte Nähe von gespieltem und realem Krieg scheint kein Zufall, liest man die bis heute luzideste (Nicht-)Geschichte des Videospiels, Claus Pias‘ Computer Spiel Welten (2002).

  • Pdf of All Scenarios in Pack
    The Contest: The Advanced Squad Leader Starter Kits (ASLSK) have given the ASL community a relatively inexpensive and simple way to bring new players into the fold, while maintaining the fun and excitement of the full-scale game. In many ways, the ASLSKs have brought back the “feel” of the original Squad Leader, having just a handful of unit types, mapboards, and rules necessary in order to play. One of the controversial design aspects of the original Squad Leader was the use of all four boards, laid end-to-end, in the design of two of the twelve enclosed scenarios. The Road to Wiltz portrayed a German attack down a narrow corridor during the Battle of the Bulge, while The St. Goar Assault depicted an American assault on a broad front in the last days of the war in Europe. The popularity of the ASLSKs has, as of this writing, spawned at least three scenarios in Operations Magazine (intended to be to Multi- Man Productions what The General was to The Avalon Hill Game Company). During discussion on the ACG/SZO forums, this renewed sense that the “feel” of the original Squad Leader had been captured was mentioned, with the flippant comment that all one had to do now was to design two scenarios with all four boards laid end to end. Subsequently, this contest was announced on 29 Nov 2005. What you see was submitted by a Christmas Eve deadline. Authors (listed alphabetically) Michael A. Dorosh is an historian from Canada who has published three (and admits that lately he seems to spend more time designing scenarios books on Canadian Army uniforms of WW II.
