I used to own a lot of pen-and-paper RPGs but I very rarely actually played them.Among my favourites though were:Star Wars: one of the most elegant systems designed, and captured the swashbuckling mood of the films perfectly.Paranoia: one of the greatest RPG concepts ever devised; took the tradition...

As mentioned elsewhere in this section, I've made an enquiry to Pioneer USA ( who released the Japanese box set ) but no definite answer yet, only a promise that they'll pass it onto the people who do their release line-ups.

I'd like to see how it develops over the coming year.........Depends how much of the US broadcast stuff we get. Patlabor on TV is *way* ...
