I write English-language books about German folklore. I primarily read books about folklore & mythology, history, and tabletop role-playing games.

GURPS Riverworld (Paperback, 1992, Steve Jackson Games) No rating

And here is #GURPS Riverworld. Does anyone remember Riverworld?

It comes with stats for Hermann Göring if you want to stab him in the face - and frankly, why wouldn't you?

Steve Miller: Domains of dread (1997) No rating

There have been a number of different incarnations of #Ravenloft over the years. This one is pretty good as a comprehensive setting overview, although the "dark grey on black" maps were abysmal.

#DnD

David Pulver, John M. Ford, Steve Jackson, Kenneth Hite, Phil Masters, Sean Punch, Jeff Koke, Scott Haring, Robert Schroeck: GURPS Y2K: The Countdown to Armageddon (Paperback, Steve Jackson Games) No rating

If there is ever a list of "Weirdest #GURPS supplements", then this would probably make it into the Top 5 (it's a very competitive field).

Though if you are into that kind of thing, it's a very useful collection of essays on cvilization-ending disasters. Plus a look into the "Prepper" community, years before most of us knew just how weird those guys are.

Dale M. Brown: Untergegangene Kulturen: Die blühenden Städte der Sumerer (1994, Time-Life Bücher) No rating

Öffentliche Bücherschränke sind eine meiner großen Schwächen.

Und als ich dort eine 7-bändige Time-Life Buchreihe über "Untergegangene Kulturen" fand, konnte ich mal wieder nicht widerstehen...
