General RPG DiscussionDiscussion of all RPGs and non-system-specific topics. DM/GM/player issues, settings, etc. Rules discussion belongs in one the forums below.
If (When) I do this poll again, there'll be a bunch of games like Warhammer that will be included.
Probably a good idea, I reckon, seeing as WFRP is most definitely in print, and very popular (as far as I can tell). Call of Cthulhu was the biggest gaff, however.
And where's Cyberpunk, eh? Er, not 3rd edition, or whatever that thing is calles. Please, no. . .
But yeah, it's hard getting these things just right. You didn't miss too many of the big games, I guess.
Only 4e here. We're more of a one-game-at-a-time group. When we wrap up the game I'm running, we'll decide if we want to do another 4e game or one of our other staples:
Saga
Sorcerer
Primetime Adventures

Actually, the part of the poll that came to me late but might be worth doing as a separate poll is the last few options: which decade was the RPG you play first published?
Playing in one 4e campaign, and DM'ing two 4e campaigns.
...but also playing around with Dragon Warriors a bit. I listed this as "Other - originally published in the 80's", although the version I'm using is the recent Mongoose updated re-release.
I'm slightly disappointed that the poll includes some pretty obscure and out-of-print games, but not any version of GURPS.
Anyway. I am currently running Fourth Edition D&D using the Scales of War adventure path, and my friend Mark is about to start running a Fourth Edition GURPS game online (since moving to Canberra and bringing his old GURPS game to a close).
I'm thinking about starting up a new World of Darkness game in the near future, too, and I want to do something with Fourth Edition Eberron when the books are out in a few months.

Says a lot about the RPGs that crossed my mind when I was making the list. It's worth making a list of all the RPGs that you can think of and then looking at the holes...

I have, sort of, done something similar in the past when trying to diversify a set of roleplaying game-based trivia questions for SUTEKH. My writing partner and I didn't want to have all our questions be drawn from D&D and the World of Darkness! We also had to balance "challenging" against "obscure" and "too old-school for younger members to know about", of course.
Still . . . Amber Diceless, Tunnels & Trolls, and Cthulhutech, but not Call of Cthulhu and GURPS? That's some epic absent-mindedness.

Here we go again, I am running
D&D 4E
Call of Cthulhu (ending)
Arduin Eternal (after CoC)
and playing
Pathfinder
Mutants & Masterminds (ending)
Warlocks & Warriors (after M&M)
Hmmm, looks like we're going to be frpg heavy this summer, maybe we can hold off ending M&M, it's more episodic than campaign. W&W is really kind of new and maybe we can take time to study it before rushing into it.
I can't really delay CoC, it's all in the stars.

Decided to redo the poll with a couple of extra options...
So, which games are you currently playing (or DMing)?
For my group they are a "D&D only" so right now we're playing Pathfinder as 4e doesn't do it for them.
I wish I could play other games as I have a whole slew of them that are totally awesome in their own way (Traveller, Runequest, GURPS, Herosystem, and WFRP to name a few). When I use to go to cons, I played in all sorts of games that weren't D&D just to be trying 31 Flavors. One can only eat so much Chocolate Chip Mint before they want to switch to something else.
But yeah, it's hard getting these things just right. You didn't miss too many of the big games, I guess.

And yet another word from our sponsors
