Game Night! Spirit of 77

By far, the funnest game I am currently playing in (we will see if that is the case after I get my Starfinder book) is Spirit of 77 from Monkeyfun Studios. For those of you who have never heard of the game, Spirit of 77 started out on Kickstarter (which seems to be the birthplace of many inventive games) and after a successful campaign the game went game shops and sites. Spirit of 77 is the exploitation film of table top RPGs.  Players can play boppers (think "The Warriors"), sleuths (Kojack or Columbo) or a good old fashioned tough guy (Kane from Kung Fu) in an alternate reality where Nixon  was never impeached and Agnew was sent to Mars, or something like that.

Anyway, the game is a real blast. The system is a easy to pick up D6 system with little math needed. The core rule book even goes as far to say the most important rule of the game is to "have fun," and "if something in the rules is not fun, then ignore it, change it, or make something up."  It is truly a players game with the point being to have a good time. And man, do they hit the mark!

If you are a fan of exploitation films of the 70's or the Rockford Files, this is the table top RPG for you.
