Some people think that fans of D&D 3.X/4 have never played other games or are unaware of other games existance or that they just flame other games. Not to sidetrack that thread, I created this one. I for one have had a long and varied RPG "career", some were good, many were bad. Please, feel free to list your own experiences for good or for bad.
2300 AD - Bought a used copy, never got to play it. A shame because it looked intriguing.
(White Wolf - WoD type) - I've played *most* of the incarnations of this system and I just absolutely hate it. I can't say why really, it just is not my cup of tea.
(Palladium system) - Again, I have played most all of the titles, usually involved in Rifts. I liked them all. I really love the randomness of character generation involved in most of the systems. Especially TMNT.
Amber - Never played, never owned the books. It seems really cool though.
Babylon 5 - Loved the show, the system sucked and couldn't generate enough interest to keep a group.
(Tri-Stat DX system) - Inclucding BESM and Silver Age Sentinels. I like the system, it is a good, clean system. I just can't find anyine to play it.
Boot Hill - Sucked. Cool idea, but Deadlands is a much better game.
Call of Cthulu (Chaosium system as a whole) - I like this style of system. Runequest, Elric, Cthulu. All solid games with a decent system attached.
Champions - A great game. It is fun, but in many ways I think Tri-Stat does the job better with less work. Champions required advanced math degrees, a calculator and an abacus just toget off page one. (I keed) I did have a blast playing this though.
C°ntinuum - I yearn to play this game it seems phenomonal.
Cyberpunk - I had already played Shadowrun when I fist played this, so in light of that, it sucked. I hated the system.
(West End d6 system) - Star Wars and Paranoia - I like it is, it was ok. Paranoia is still one of the most fun games ever IMO.
Deadlands - Cool concept, ok system. Could never get enough people to play.
Fantasy Trip - Played it, hated it.
Gamma World (1st EDITION!) - One of the greatest games ever made. I loved me some Gamma World. 3rd Edition was ok, a little more 'player friendly', but I loved the fun of making a character and not having any idea what it would be when it came out.
Gurps - Meh. Never found it anything interesting. Too generic I guess. :smallredface:
(I.C.E. System) - Only played MERP. I like the system. I really dug the 500 pages of critical hits. :smallbiggrin:
Mechwarrior - Really we mostly played Battletech, but we had our Mechwarrior characters anyway.... The system was just too clunky. Battletech = good; Mechwarrior... not so much.
Twilight 2000 - The system was kind of meh, but for nitty gritty real world post apoc combat... It's really the only choice. I definately plan on checking out Twilight: 2013.
Pokethulu - On my list of "gotta try it". It just looks fun.
Shadowrun (up to 3e ONLY!) - Although I have been a D&D player for more years than Shadowrun existed, I think I have actually put in more hours of playtime in Shadowrun. Obviously, I love(d) the game. 4th Edition was an abomination unto God and man and Great Spirits. We still kick around the idea of starting a game back up....Too many fragging dice though... oy - my only real complaint about Shadowrun. Too many fragging dice!
Star Frontiers - Good game, never got to play it enough.
Star Wreck - On my list of "maybes" but the system looks kinda crappy.
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay - I played the original edition of it, it was cool in flavor, but kind of sucked in actual mechanics. I haven't checked out the current incarnation, so I can't make a fair judgement of that.
