List of 24 Hour RPGs by rating

This page is a list of all 24-hour RPGs, and the ratings given to them by Evangelos Paliatseas, the most prolific reviewer of 24 Hour RPGs.

These reflect his tastes more than anything else, and are not always indicitave of interest -- for example, vs. Monsters has been made into a print RPG, but got 'only' 20 out of 30. However, you've got to grant that they're well-written and do explain their games well.

According to Evan, 5/30 is an F, 10/30 is a D, 15/30 is a C, 20/30 is a B, and 30/30 is an A. The ratings technically may go from 0 to 36, but neither extreme has yet been reached.
