Good call on Firefly. Add that to Outbreak: Undead for me.

Yep, but I'm lazy, a procrastinator, don't have a car (never got a licence), and have a limited imcome (just got on SS this year). Still, I'll probaly get off my lazy duff one of these days and get there! And thanks for the invite.

I've played Fiasco (in fact, played it a handful of times since we picked it up at PAX last year). It's not for everyone; half of my friends just don't like it. But I love it, and we have a small group who's had tremendous amounts of fun playing it.
If you do pick up Fiasco, be aware that Bully Pulpit Games has a great resource for additional playsets, many of them made by the game's creators or prominent industry writers. Pay attention to 'Dysfunctions & Dragons'... it's a slice of familiarity.
Just ran a 4th Edition game like that, it was a blast. No class restrictions (we didn't actually have a rogue to start), but the group were all part of a thieves' guild. We used Goodman Games' excellent Crime Pays supplement.
Purely out of curiosity, are you planning to try the open playtest?

I'm registered for the playtest, but we're having a hard enough time getting our regular group together for the current GM's GURPS game as it is. I'm interested in seeing it, to a degree, and maybe we'll sneak in a playtest one night when the regular GM isn't around.
But I've got to be honest, 5e will have to be something pretty special to make a dent on our group. Our interest will largely hinge on how un-4e-like 5e manages to be while still innovating the d20 core. The playtest may change my mind, but at the moment the actual D&D brand name is pretty meaningless to me. Just tonight I was going through some various RPG stuff, both print and digital, and realized just how little I care about keeping any of the actual WotC content I have. Frankly, with the exception of the 3.0 Forgotten Realms campaign setting, I could lose every ounce of my WotC-era D&D collection and hardly shed a tear.

I once ran a partial game of Paranoia that was a whole campaign. They were going into space so the computer activated all of their clones for the trip. They saw some tiny cracks in the space ship wall. Even though the ship computer said it was not dangerous, they opted to wield a piece of metal over that section while in flight.
The opted to use a Plasma Rifle to do the wielding. 36 clones dead in less than an hour and a half of game time.

Dresden Files RPG is my number one 'want to play or run' game right now and I haven't even bought or read the rulebook!

Thanks for the pointer, I'll keep an eye out for it.

I've got the stuff and have run some test combats and such, but have yet to put in the time and effort to get an actual game going.
