Most of the information on the General Information panel is pretty straight-forward. In addition to the banner, we will include some information about key staff members, OST highlights, trivia, and some Era member quotes from the individual voting lists, explaining why you should play the title.Įxplaining the 2018 Game Banner Components: PART 2 - The Aggregate List: Each of the top 100 games by voting points will receive a banner providing some basic information about the game, including its length, ballpark cost, and playstyle. If you are have played dozens of RPGs and are looking for some hidden gems, the individual recommendations may be the most useful part of this thread!
You can check out the individual lists that were submitted for voting tomorrow. PART 1 - The Vote: This thread will began with a voting phase where people will list and discuss the RPGs that they personally consider to be essential plays. From those who dabble in the genre, to those who have completed hundreds of titles in the past. These voting threads are a great place to collect a diverse array of opinions from a large number of ERA members. Word of mouth consensus from Era and similar comunities can be better, but you have to do more digging, and most discussion tends to be about the big franchises. It's not a secret that review aggregates like Metacritic or Opencritic do a poor job at assessing roleplaying games, ans mainstream review scores (and overall coverage) often correlate heavily with marketing budgets that most RPGs lack. Ultimately, the Essential RPG thread is meant to be a tool to help people find great games that they might not have heard of previously, and to remind people of the classics they never got around to playing.
