    Default How many systems do you use?

    Simple enough question, how many systems do you and your group(s) use with any regularity? For the purposes of regularity, lets say any system you've played more than once in the past year qualifies.

    For clarity, by system I mean the mechanics, not simply different games. If you play HERO, Pulp HERO and Fantasy HERO, that's still just one system. Same goes for different varieties of WoD games, different settings using GURPS, D20 variants and so on. They count as one system, even if different games.

    List them here if you feel like it.

    Looks like four to me; D&D, two D20 games, four oWoD games and AD&D.

    D&D
    Old World of Darkness games (mostly Vampire)

    Uh, actually more than I initially thought. We've played:

    D&D
    Shadowrun
    Exalted
    Weapons of the Gods

    Edit: Oh, and old WoD and new WoD, but that didn't last long because we have major issues with both systems.

    Tabletop, 0. I haven't had a tabletop game in the past year, alas.

    Forum, 8. Rifts, D&D, Mutants&Masterminds, d20 Modern, d20 Star Wars, a homebrew based off Fallout's SPECIAL system, a homebrew based off the card game SPANC, and a homebrew based off making things as simple as possible while remaining somewhat d20ish. 9, if the board game Diplomacy counts as a "system".

    This apparently makes me one of the most diverse players in the thread. Weird.

    Hackmaster (farily close to AD&D but far enough to be Different)
    Star Wars D6
    GURPS
    New World Of Darkness
    Everway (Must play that again!)
    & Many Many Homebrews

    With regularity.... D&D3.5 and NWOD

    The following rules are integral to any roleplaying game:
    Rule 0: The Gamesmaster is always right.
    Rule 7: Do not take the piss.

    D&D and WoD (the old version)

    That's what's regularly played. However, the college club I'm part of hosts a thrice-yearly weekend of open-to-all one-shots, and everything from GURPS to Tales from the Floating Vagabond to Rifts to custom-built scenarios to Feng Shui gets played.

    My groups have varied interests. Most of them stick with d20 variants/settings (FR, ECS, Mutants & Masterminds, Game of Thrones, etc. . )
    One of my groups likes to use various things. Lately they've enjoyed the games from Atomic Sock Monkey (Truth and Justice particularly).

    Systems I've ever played:

    * Storyteller System (classic WoD and Exalted; I've played a very little bit of nWoD, wasn't impressed, and have no particular plans to repeat the experience)
    * D&D 3.0/3.5 (exclusively 3.5 nowadays)
    * Cyberpunk 2020
    * Shadowrun
    * BESM

    Lately, only the first two entries on that list see regular play, but the others I plan to play/would play if given the opportunity.

    Let's see. Within one year and counting the exalted one shot we'll be running soon...

    Exalted
    D&D
    Star Wars d20
    Risus
    Paranoia XP
    BESM 2e Revised
    BESM 3e
    BESM d20
    The Imp Game

    Edit: Can't forget that one failed homebrew too.

    Hmm... Guess I undershot when I went with the second option. Don't ask me how many systems I own though. That would make me feel sad.

    Within the last year, just d20--regular D&D and Iron Heroes. We did play some White Wolf before that, though.

    Now:

    WFRP (playing)
    WoD (playing)

    Ever:
    d20 modern and starwars d20
    Drakar och demoner (translates to "dragons and demons", it's a Swedish system)
    Mutant (a Swedish system)
    Western (a random d20-ish system)
    A guy's homebrewed system (Aliens vs. Predator)
    GURPS (ok, one time)

    And on a convention, I played Call of Cthulhu and Castle Falkenstein, though so rules-light that it doesn'y count.

    Hmm... regularly?

    DnD 3.5 and Firefly (which is the best system nobody's heard of, by the way)

    If you are counting stuff we've only played a few times...
    A homebrew semi-d20 Final Fantasy game
    GURPS
    Shadowrun (which was fun, but we couldn't get a group together)
    White Wolf's Mage: the Something, I forget what (which was a lot LESS fun that I expected)
    Deadlands
    Honor guard at the funeral in the Miko Fan Club.
