Any D&D/D20

Shadowrun

World of Darkness

Palladium

Other (feel free to post about it)

My favorite is Drakar och Demoner, the Swedish classic rpg of totally no relation to the American game

[Persus13]

Never played Stars Without Number, but I've always found it really evocative for an RPG name. (Obviously not the same genre of RPG as D&D)

Worst name for an RPG I've seen is probably Quest (just Quest, not Dragon Quest or HeroQuest or whatever), because the SEO on that is kinda terrible.

[scriver]

If I'm going to be real then yeah I think Stars Without Number is a really good name too. Possibly Riddle of Steel as well.

If the qualification is just "better name than Dungeons and Dragons" then really a lot of names will do.

[MrRoboto75]

There's one at the local B&N called Zweihander, no clue if it's any good but sounds badass.

[Persus13]

I've heard pretty good things about Zweihander if you like grim fantasy RPGs.

[Cthulhu]

Unknown Armies
Esoterrorists
Scarlet Heroes
Motobushido
Blades in the Dark
Runequest

These are cool evocative names.

That's what the lizardfolk keep telling me yes.

How can you expect any pudding, if you don't eat your meat?

Hey! Creature! Eating a human bone!

[Grim Portent]

All flesh must be eaten?

Played a game of that back in uni, a pretty good game all in all.

Special mention to the wuxia expansion, with all sorts of crazy 'martial arts' moves like zombies making their ribs stick out horizontally and spin like a buzzsaw.

I did a spin on that where my lizardfolk thought that by eating people he was ensuring they would be reincarnated as lizardfolk among his family line, so it was sparing them the risk of coming back pink and squishy again, or as a worm or crow or something. He also did enjoy the taste of some people.

A kung-fu zombie movie done well would be gold. The key is that the zombies are still shit... but they know kung-fu.

[King Zultan]

So a dojo filled with kung-fu zombies, it feels like they should be better than regular zombies when it comes to combat.

[Frumple]

Wuxia/xianxia undead in general get pretty wild, tbh. They're generally in even higher magic settings than your average D&D campaign, in a situation where literally everyone of note functionally has gish levels (where they learn spells like wizards, but cast more like sorcerers and can pretty universally beat the everloving shit out of someone) and weird esoteric stuff is basically bog standard for even lower level critters. Start reanimating those things and there's little telling what's going to happen, heh.

How would your average D&D party even deal with a zombie that just picked up a river and is trying to hit them with it? Not even drown or whatever, they're using the river as a stick.

[delphonso]

Better start running to find a river of their own to hit it back.
