Threads You Might Have Missed

RPGs (and other types of media) often attempt to create or pastiche a noirish tone. This thread from Other Media will be an invaluable help in doing so: "What are the classic traits of a noir protagonist?"

"Games With Multiple Characters Per Player?" explores and has some very interesting discussion of how various RPGs handle players controlling more than one character each.

Speaking of useful gaming threads based on a question: "How would you find a missing person in Victorian London?" has some great information for anyone running a game set in the late 19th Century.
