It’s CoC. Chaosium is in its third incarnation, but BRP has only had slight Botox with each passing edition. Compare that to D&D‘s editions.
The best in our industry have written for it, played it, & worshipped it as a dark master in secret covens posing as TTRPG groups.

What really needs to be said about this. VTM is the most successful and influential game after D&D. (Maybe CoC takes that these days). It gave us the biggest LARP, a prime time drama after X-Files, WWF’s The Brood, and brought women to gaming in large droves for the first time ever.

I love Free League for bringing over a lot of foreign language RPGs. Vaesen is my favorite of the lot they are doing. Vaesan is such a great alternative to the other “real world” horror games, that are usually cosmic horror or Word of Darkness based. The art is so unique too.

The New World of Darkness has their own Mummy game and it is utterly different from the OWOD version, or any game really. I would only call it a horror game because you play as mummies, but really is is an amazingly look at introspection, morality, power and sanity.

You know what? I own & enjoy reading it, but I have never found anyone willing to run or play a game of it. It’s a shame too, because it’s a nice alternative to the usual cosmic horror RPG. It uses the Cypher System, like Numenera, which can also be quite horrific.

The Borg line has been my favorite new game in decades, if only for the cracktastic spin-offs 3rd parties have come up with. Usually the third party stuff for lines like D&D, VtM & etc are just too subpar to mention, but the Borg stuff is just consistently tremendous.

W3 was an attempt to recapture the magic of Vampire: The Dark Ages. As was Mage: The Sorcerer’s Crusade & Wraith: The Great War. None of these captured the imagination or magic of TDA, but W3 at least received multiple supplements & even a Wraith crossover or two.

This is one of the more unique RPGs out there. It is for a single player and a narrator & they weave a tale together. It’s also only meant to be for one shots, as protagonists rarely repeated in actual HPL tales. It also uses dominoes instead of dice for a fun mechanic.

It’s more Bill & Ted meets Empire Records, but there’s Goths, it is near Halloween & the game is pretty smutty which is horrifying to homo and transphobes alike. I could pick something spookier, but I’m going with this because it’s fun & deserves more eyes on it.

Werewolf was always the #2 WoD TTRPG. It was incredibly good; just harder to LARP. It was a game about unreliable narrating eco warriors trying to save existence from Captain Planet style evil. Except as the metaplot advanced - you learned that wasn’t quite true.

Onyx Path gave us a fun weird horror RPG series that covers the gauntlet from Roger Corman & Sandy Frank B-Movies to slasher flicks & Harryhausen films. When they lost the WoD license, it didn’t set them back at all; the just made games like this Pugmire and Curseborne.
