What do you play? Options

I own most of the books for Earthdawn, AD&D and Shadowrun. Though I don't know why, because I tend to not forget printed material ;)



I got started on DSA (The Dark Eye, someone mentioned it. DSA was a bad system, game mechanics and background-wise :noflame: )

Moved on to Earthdawn as soon as I got the chance.
Tried to start a philosophical Mage game, failed as there is much interest the "rolling" aspect of RPing in our group.

I'm currently playing/GMing in Shadowrun and Rolemaster.

I was weaned onto RPG's with World of Darkness and Trinity. These type of non-white-wolf RPG's are alot different. I can generally play a whole session of a white wolf game with no desire to roll anything, and I tend to think the most streamlined rules exist for white wolf games, except for maybe mage because you litterally can do anything.

Recently finished a Urban Arcana campaign, and have begun re-reading SR after picking up a copy of Cybernet. Not actively engaged in anything, but since i'm looking at running d20 Modern again, i'll have to vote Other d20.

[BumsofTacoma]

heres a nice little list o games i play.

Shadowrun 3rd (7 years running)
Hunter the reckoning (a coupletimes, own many books)
Vampire (varios versions, sabbat, masq, dark ages)
Aberant (have core rule book, played once or twice)
Palladium (the ultimate kill the players game, might see it differently with a diff gm)
Exalted (i have a 300 xp character.... like this game a lot)
All Flesh must be eaten (just picked it up, love the simplicity of it + zombies)
Mage (varios types, own a few books)
Star wars revised edition (play every now and then)
Deadlands games (wierd/wasted west, 4 years running)

Then I have this old James Bond rpg thats like 20 years old, problem is, core rule book doent cover so many situations I havnt played it. Just how the hell do you calculate damage? or resist it? or even avoid it? stupid book.

a few other I cant think of at the moment.

[Fixer]

I play D&D and Star Wars (original and new edition). When I can find a local group, at least. Between groups right now.

Oh, and hello everyone. Been a while.
(Why does my signature not work. Does this play not support phpBB?)

[Fixer]

That would explain the 128 character limit as well. :P

[Maxxi]

Out of Curiousity, does my sig display as Arabic to other people?

[Fixer]

I see it in Arabic.

OK, since I can finally see this board again, I'm gonna post here & wait a while. Seems somehow, I get locked out on occaisions, and I know it's not from my end.

Anyway, here's my lists;

Used to play 2nd Ed. AD&D, right up until Spelljammer & Planescape came out.
Use to play the original Marvel Superheroes, until it was discontinued. Never got into the 'new' version.
Have been keeping up with Shadowrun, still have all my 1st Ed. books. It appeals to my sci-fi mindset, and the magick system is always a treat.
I still keep up with the Palladium Books' titles Heroes Unlimited 2nd Ed., Robotech, Nightbane, Systems Failure & Rifts.
I still read all the White Wolf novels, because I like their style.
I have all the books for Mind's Eye Theatre-Laws of The Night (Vampire LARP), and I played a couple of times. Thinking about trading/selling them when the current WoD lines get cut.

That's it for now.

[Maxxi]

You enjoyed some of the White Wolf novels? The only good ones I read were the ones for Demon. The Mage on seemed pretty horrible, it was like they told a guy to write a story and then add mage terms.... And the Mummy triology... That was more about Hunters, a Risen and a Vampire then a Mummy.... But whatever, it was still good. I guess I just don't like some of the older novels they made.

So I just bought d20 Modern: Urban Arcana because a good friend of mine who also plays SR says it's a pretty good setting. He hates the system, but the setting is rather decent. I'm still in the main corebook (Damn Class-restricted games!) and was wondering if anybody else has played Urban Arcana. Should I just take my book back or should I keep it?

[Fresno Bob]

I'd take it back.

I play a little of this, little of that. Mostly D20, cause thats all my friends know. The only Shadowrunning I get is over pbps.

[BumsofTacoma]

I dont know if I said it before but

All Flesh must be eaten. Great game simple, fun, challenging for the players makes them work together. Easy as cheese to run it.

my new favorite game to run. just need someone else to run it so i can be the store clerk fending off zombie hordes with a mop. and hiding in the basement till i starve to death.

[LoseAsDirected]

D&D is a great fallback system for when I'm feeling lazy, and don't want to come up with a fucking thing..

I just get my players together, roll a d20, make that their level, tell them to make standard characters (by our house rules, at least), and drink some Jaeger until they're done.. Then I'm ready to DM..

It's not like D&D requires planing...

[Kagetenshi]

Then you've never played one of my D&D games.
Though it was pointed out to me that my games had about as much to do with canon D&D as a marble has with a planet (they're both generally sorta round)... that's what ten years of GMing and adding houserules will do.

~J

Edit: I should hope it doesn't require planing! I like my books to be nice and level when they come from the printers, thank you very much.

[LoseAsDirected]

Har har, very funny...

[Wailer]

WAAAAAAAAAAGH! :ork

[Kagetenshi]

Lives up to his name, apparently.
Planescape is always fun.

[Teulisch]

what, no multiple choice on the poll?

I tend to collect RPGs, more than i actualy have time to play.

I have shelves of stuff for Gurps, Rifts, and world of darkness, and a shelf of D&D 2nd ed (only got the main 3 rulebooks for 3.0 plus a couple modules for the game im DMing), and have more rpgs than i can readily name or even remember without looking (some are fairly obscure).

oh, and about a 10,000 point Eldar army for WH40k. (I wish they would put out current rules for my genestealer hybrids.).

[otaku mike]

I played (GM) mainly SR, but that was before I move to Thailand.
I also played Warhammer, which was quite fun.
I own Star Trek RPG (decipher) but never got any use of them, though I'd love to.
Same for BESM 2nd Ed.

I got a french version of The Dark Eye (L'Oeil Noir) when I was 12 (16 years ago). It was a black boxed set, basically an initiation to RPG.
I played with it only once, years after I understood what was a RPG (God, I was really pissed off when I opened the box and realized there was no board or miniatures! ah... youth... :) )

I'm really intrigued with the current incarnation of The Dark Eye, does it have a background world now? Are the rules still so "light"? What changes since 16 years?

[Kalibar]

Hmm...lets see. I have GM'd Shadowrun, MERP, LOTR(CODA System), GURPS, all three ed. of D+D(and Wheel of Time), Star Wars(D6), and of course Paranoia.

Played, D+D, GURPS, Star Wars(D6), and Shadowrun

Currently, run a Shadowrun campaign and a GURPS modern day/deity campaign.

And play GURPS Fantasy, MERP, and 1st ed. AD+D. It's suprising how fun it still was to go back to that system...

[Reverendo]

Buffffff....

WoD, Call of chtulu, Dark conspiracy, D&D (forgotten realms and dark sun mainly), Runequest, Elric!, 7ºsea, L5R, blue planet, LoTR, Rolemaster, Talislanta, Pendragon, hero wars, CP2020, Hackmaster, star wars, Ars Magica...and many many others. Love to go to con and find new games...new blood always is welcome ;)

You may see how many character sheets i have ;) But i only GM Shadowrun
