@timsbrannan my #Alternity collection.

Coolest looking RPG product?

Nobilis was beautiful. A coffee table art book.
Planescape with DiTerilizzi art was otherworldly.
Mork Borg is metal!

But for absolute coolness, I have to go with Alternity. It's got a very late 90s, Lexx, Farscape, proto-Matrix type vibe that just both grabs me and also really shows off my age.

History of RPGs
Weird '80s role-playing systems
Player and DM advice
and discussions of good pre-made adventure modules and how to run them

@AndreasKjeldsen Was not really a fan of the Alternity system itself. But Dark*Matter and Star*Drive were neat settings, and I loved some of the species you could play, like these guys.

Sounds weird to say given the current OGL crisis, but I always used to wish they had re-released the Alterniry content as d20 Modern material during the D&D 3E era.

Instead, his former master has been using his personal resources and agents to get revenge, forcing Calai to adapt to a life on the fringes of galactic society, heavily modifying his "new" starship and seeking out the company of other like-minded individuals. (Insert other PCs here.)

Many Sesheyans have a hard time with modern tech, but Calai's talents were discovered by a VoidCorp executive who had him trained as a pilot for his personal starship.

This turned out to be not such a great idea when Calai stole the ship and ran for it. VoidCorp politics are vicious, and admitting that his luxury yacht had been stolen by a lowly Sesheyan would have meant a fatal loss of prestige for his employer, so the theft was never reported.

In the Star*Drive setting, the Sesheyans are an alien species whose homeworld is located inside the borders of the insidious stellar nation VoidCorp, which exploits them as cheap labour. A few Sesheyans, known as Windspirits, manage to escape VoidCorp and live in freedom, although also as fugitives from the VoidCorp agents who seek to recapture them. The pilot Calai Angh'Tokai is one such Windspirit.

I've got a habit of loving the IDEAs of RPG settings but hating all the details: Example: I love a lot of the trappings of #Spelljammer, but can't stand what they did with it, so I idly write my own ships-in-space setting in my head. I've only tried to run it once, and it failed due to grad school burnout.

I also like #StarDrive for the #Alternity system, but again, want to tweak and rewrite SO MANY things.

@GurglingGrout love it!
