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.Last edited by Kiero; 2007-03-11 at 07:29 AM.

Re: How many systems do you use?
Uh... Dungeons and Dragons isn't d20?
Anyway, I play the following:
Mutants and Masterminds (based on d20, yes, but it's not the same system at all)
D&D
Old World of Darkness games (mostly Vampire)
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay

Re: How many systems do you use?
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.Last edited by Greendevilman; 2007-03-11 at 10:11 AM.

Re: How many systems do you use?
D&D 3.5, and Unknown Armies. The exact ratio of how much seems to vary.
I don't have a good sig, does this mean I've lost scene credibility?

Re: How many systems do you use?
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.Last edited by Krellen; 2007-03-11 at 11:48 AM.

Board games don't count. This is roleplaying games only.

Re: How many systems do you use?
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.Winter Is Coming

Re: How many systems do you use?
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).

Re: How many systems do you use?
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.Spoiler
Zöe Althira in When On Olympus
Ratri Aeval in Double Major
Mercedes Swift, Scion of Hermes, in ???
Haiiro Mariko in The Scarlet Shadow
Kris "Krash" Ashton in Colony
Karen Mallory in Changing Breeds

Re: How many systems do you use?
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.Last edited by Dairun Cates; 2007-03-12 at 03:53 AM.

Re: How many systems do you use?
Harnmaster and AD&D 2nd edition (houseruled a bit) are my two regular systems. I will occasionally play a GURPS game.

Re: How many systems do you use?
Now:
DnD (Dming)
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.Last edited by Zaggab; 2007-03-12 at 10:23 AM.

Re: How many systems do you use?
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)
DeadlandsHonor guard at the funeral in the Miko Fan Club.
