Star Trek: Year Five is a great bridge from the Original Series to the movie era.
Highly recommended!

Well, that took a long time, but the gang is finally finished!
Now I can get some use out of the 1st Somerset Strikers sourcebook.

Top Secret by TSR, quickly followed by Victory Games James Bond.
Then Vampire the Masquerade 1e.
TSR Marvel superheroes falls in there somewhere too.

The first one I ever saw and wanted to play, but didn't, was my dad's copy of Starship Troopers. 1970-something...

My first tabletop wargame was probably either Federation & Empire, original Warhammer, Steve Jackson's OGRE, or original Battletech.
Other possibilities are Star Fleet Battles and Advanced Squad Leader.

I'd love to say Pong from back in the 70's, because it's true. However, I'd never expect newcomers to try it nowadays.
Instead I'll go with Roadwar 2000 and Crush, Crumble, & Chomp from the Commodore 64 days. Played both of them endlessly. I'd still play them today.

I own almost all the adventures for the James Bond TTRPG. They come with cool envelopes filled with props and briefing material.
They also change up the plots enough that people who are familiar with the films are still surprised.
The game is definitely made for fewer players, 1-3 really max.

The Gamemaster Pack & especially For Your Information are great supplements for taking the James Bond Basic game to advanced.
For Your Information was full of great advice and a few extra rules, as well as reflections on the game system.
The cardboard minis in my GM Pack are still unpunched!

The Q Manual and Thrilling Cities supplement were both great additions to the James Bond ttrpg.
Loads of help for GMs with items and locations to drop into their adventures.
I found it cool that Thrilling Cities was named after the travelogue by Ian Fleming.

Going to finally run some Victory Games James Bond #ttrpg this year. A game with fairly simple mechanics that perfectly emulate a James Bond experience. An especially great chase system.
As a huge Bond fan the front and back cover are super nostalgic for me. I loved looking at it back in the 80's.

Anyone else out there ever play Victory Games James Bond ttrpg?
I rebuilt my collection a few years ago.
Still probably the best spy ttrpg, and one of the first uses of "hero points."

Received the Third Star League Battle Group box today (along with some movement dice.)
The paint job on the Savage Wolf isn't great, but one less mech I have to paint.
The Savior Repair Vehicle is very cool.
Overall happy with the box.

I think William Shatner's Kirk is amazing. I like how Shatner acted him, and he was a huge influence on me growing up.

I remember it being a shade more off-white.
