Games You Want to Play

For some reason it’s also one of the few “mainstream” RPGs I don’t have on my bookshelves – even through five or six editions of the game I never picked one up.

As a footnote, since I wrote that article 6 weeks ago, I went out and picked up two different editions of Stormbringer. Still haven't played it, but my BRP collection is approaching completion.

[kitsune9]

For me, I would like to play:

1. Traveller
2. Herosystem
3. HARP/Rolemaster
4. Alternity/Darkmatter
5. Star Wars (D6)
6. Runequest (Mongoose)
7. WFRP
9. Dark Heresy
10. Sidewinder Reloaded
11. Castles and Crusades

Unfortunately for me, my group is a "D&D only and there is no such thing as other rpgs" group so the only time I get to play something else is at cons and I haven't been in a few years.

(She does the same thing when we play Arkham Horror, although she has two characters she likes.)

I love the Dungeon for exactly this reason. My wife hates it when I do that. (Uh oh, this is starting to degenerate into "Philotomy bitches about his wife's board-gaming quirks...")

I think my wife whined a bit once when her single character draw was "the ugly Troll" but she got over it and played.

I'm lucky to have a wife that plays along. Even when she was playing D&D with us and I killed her PCs off just as unmercifully as the others (not PvP, I was DMing to be clear).

I would like to play the new incarnation of Dragon Warriors as I had fond memories of the old, including playing it into the small hours of the morning during High School and doing terrible, terrible things to poor sleeping old men.

[rogueattorney]

A top 10, just among the games currently on my shelf:

1. O(A)D&D - OD&D, 1e, or B/X, or the clones thereof
2. Encounter Critical
3. Tunnels & Trolls
4. Lords of Creation (which I just found a copy of this weekend)
5. Mutant Future/Gamma World 1e or 2e/Metamorphosis Alpha 1e
6. Star Frontiers
7. Marvel Super Heroes RPG
8. Cthulhu Dark Ages/Call of Cthulhu
9. Everway
10. TMNT/After the Bomb

I'm sure I'm forgetting something.

This doesn't count the games that I do not currently own, but would like to get a hold of. Some version or another of Paranoia and Pendragon probably top this list.

[Woas]

Really anything not D&D.


Specifically on my mind I have a couple: Ars Magica, Barbarians of Lamuria, Dogs in the Vineyard, In a Wicked Age, Mouse Guard, Wushu, Feng Shui, Dread, Spirits of the Century, Paranoia, All Flesh Must Be Eaten, some sort of WW2 action game, Traveller.... any of that "Indie narrativist crap" as Doug puts it.

It's a shame we can't figure out a way to capitalize on this thread and get people together to actually play these games they want to play. It almost feels like a waste of virtual breath bothering to list them here... oh well.

1. The Matrix
2. Shadowrun
3. Star Wars d20
4. Babylon 5 again

[scourger]

Here are some games I would like to play (again):

Deadlands: Hell on Earth. We have a great game that has been on hold for years. The GM lives about 1 hour away. We see him sometimes, but I doubt the game is coming back.

Star Wars Revised. Our all-jedi game was a lot of fun. I wish it would come back since we are in the middle of a module.

Omega World d20. We finished this game after 10 years and 3 rules systems, but it was great fun. I would love to play it again.

Rifts. I know, a guilty pleasure. We played it in the 90s and had a rolicking good time.

Villains and Vigilantes. A blast from the 80s.

Zombies. A great little tile board game. We wore it out a couple of years ago, but I like it so much I bought my own copy.

Any of the "B Movie" card games. I have them all, but we never get together for cards anymore.

Here are some games I would like to play at least once:

Frag Deadlands. I gave it to a friend years ago but he never ran it for us. It looked very fun.

Dark Heresy. I've got the game. It looks great. Maybe a little too dark for my tastes, but I would like to give it a try.

Savage Worlds. A friend says he wants to do a Call of Cthulhu Murder on the Orient Express conversion. I'll believe it when I see it.

Here are some I would like to run:

Savage Worlds Necropolis. I've run it 3x in 2 years. I would really like to finish up that game if I could get enough interest or get the player who gels it to visit more often.

Rifts Machinations of Doom. I really liked the graphic novel, and it included pregenerated charatcers. Alas for a lack of time & interest.

Star Wars of some description. I would like to either do it with the minis game rules somehow turned into an RPG or a simple conversion to Savage Worlds. I want to retell episodes 4-6.

Another Western RPG most likely a Savage Worlds engine with some Deadlands Reloaded running a Boot Hill module in the Aces & Eights setting.

Omega World d20. As mentioned above, I love this game. I would really ike to do something with it using all the d20 minis I have in storage, both D&D & Star Wars. Maybe a sort of Logan's Run with the PCs searching for something outside the dome.

D&D. I've got a 3.0 game on hold mid-module as well an idea to run the story from the Slaine graphic novels.

D&D minis turned into an RPG. I think I can blend the coarse granularity of options for me as a DM with the minis stats with the fine granularity for the players with the RPG rules to make a great game for everyone.

Well, that's really more than enough and likely more than I'll ever do!

[Animus]

I would like to play (the ones in bold I really have an itch for):

- --->> Spirit of the Century <<---
- True20-based fantasy game
- Star Wars Saga Edition
- Prime Time Adventures
- Mutants and Masterminds 2e
- Starblazer Adventures
- Marvel Superheroes (FASERIP)
- d20 Modern
- BECMI D&D
- Traveller
- Feng Shui
- Star Frontiers
- Savage Worlds
- GURPS

[Corinth]

TORG, Spycraft, D&D (BECMI, AD&D1 or 3.X/Pathfinder), Exalted, Pendragon.

For what it's worth, I approve of some of the changes (few though there are, really) and disapprove of others.

The old books still work perfectly well (or well, at least) but, in my opinion, the layout and presentation of the new is overall superior. Very nice, actually. Oh, and the cleaned up and expanded 'adventure paths' seem to be an improvement as well.

We played this last Saturday!

I don't think it's a game for my "long-time motivation", but it was an entertaining game. We also seemed to roleplay a little more, which might be partly due to the lack of complex rules to play around with and the way the adventure was set up, and that we were only two players...
I played a Warlock, and the other player played a Mystic. We kinda made this combination the young hero and his wise mentor thing. (I do not think that would have worked this way with a third player, honestly. But maybe we would have found a different setup?)

Your wish list sounds like the last few ENWorld Chicago Gamedays (the ones I bolded I am positive have been run within the last year). Now all you have to do is take a trip out here to visit. July 18th, mark your calendar...

[Amanchanamun]

We have just started playing hunter vigil now.

I want to play

1- Mouseguard
2- Trail of cthulhu ( Perfect game indeed. )
3- Cthulhutech
4- Savage worlds - pirates of the spanish main.
5- Wraith ( i still couldnt play it . Can you believe in me ?

[Wombat]

There are many things that I would love to play... I play very seldom, mainly being behind the screen.

That being said, I would love to take a whack at the following:

Swashbucklers of the 7 Skies (great read so far!)
Savage Worlds: Rippers
Hunter (NWoD version)
...almost any Star Trek game that isn't utterly skewwed towards the military...

[coyote6]

I knew I was forgetting some: A Song of Ice & Fire RPG, and Pendragon.

I'd like to try CthulhuTech, too, just because it sounds interesting, but I know zip about the game system.

[Korgoth]

I forgot one, too: Cyberpunk 2020. I've always wanted to give that one a spin.

[Malacoda]

I just picked up a dozen Warhammer 2e books, so I would love to get a game going with that.

Mage and Wraith are two of my favorite games, neither of which I have had what you can really call successful campaigns with, so I often fantasize about running those again.

I just started my 4e campaign, but I do wish I could be a player in such a game. I really need to play a deva avenger, or a shadar-kai something.

I have tinkered with my own RPG design for years. I wish that was done and I was running it.

[grodog]

I haven't played any of these games before, but would like to, someday:

- OD&D
- RQ2
- Dune
- Castle Falkenstein
- Dying Earth
- Metamophosis Alpha 1e
- Kult (1e/2e)
- Lords of Creation
- B5
- EPT

I haven't played some of these games in too long, and would like to do so again sooner vs. later:

- Ars Magica (2e/5e)
- Blue Planet
- Call of Cthulhu
- WFRP 1e
- Fading Suns
- Paranoia

Unfortunately, in addition to playing in a great AD&D campaign that doesn't seem to be putting me behind the screen again anytime soon (which is a rare "problem" for me to have, all-in-all), the group doesn't play non-D&D games, so it's not likely that I'll be able to do a full campaign of any of the above anytime soon.

[Ant]

Games I've never played but would love to:
- Witch Hunter
- Delta Green (though I have played CoC so maybe this doesn't count)
- Dogs in the Vineyard
- vs Monsters
- Trail of Cthulhu
- Godlike
- Classic Traveller
- Midnight

Games I played back in the aeons of time and would love to play again:
- Gamma World
- Shadowrun
- Rune Quest
- Chill
- Hârn
