Ginger asks:Recommend three non-RPG games for RPGers. Why do you recommend these three?
Settlers of Catan. OK, it's a game I recommend to everyone, but I recommend it to gamers because of the political aspect of wheeling and dealing with your fellow gamers.
Wiz-War. A Jolly Rogers game. It's back in print and it's a classic. Players play wizards fighting to steal treasures from eachother in a magical dungeon. Cards are played representing magical spells with which players can effect themselves, others and even the dungeon! It's a blast to play.
Dungeons and Dragons Miniatures. The new collectible miniature game from WotC is a simplified version of my favorite miniature game of all time- Chainmail. It's a fun strategy game that is played with pre-painted plastic miniatures and best of all you can use the miniatures for roleplaying as well. (There's not a lot of call for Warhammer 40K Space Marines in most roleplaying games but fantasy minis never go out of style.)
