First Post
Naturally this is a very DnD-centric site but I was wondering how much do other people branch out into other games.

So how many different game systems have you played over the years?

My own list is (in no particular order):

Table Top: Marvel Superheros, DnD 2e, 3.x, Shadowrun 2e, 3e, 4e, Vampire, Vamp Dark Ages, Ars Magica 4e, Paranoia, Deadlands, HARP, Alternities, Rifts, Conspiracy X, Werewolf, D20 Modern, Traveler, Cyberpunk 2020, Starwars (D6), Legend of the 5 Rings, Feng shui, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.

LARP: Vampire (several evenings of my life I want back, you don't even hit people with swords, where is the fun in that?), IK larp, Fools and Heros, Maelstrom and Lorien Trust

I still have Call of Cthulu, Dark Heresy, Mechwarrior, DnD 4e, Ars 5e and some X:The Y White Wolf products that I don't remember buying sitting on my shelf waiting to get used. They might have a long wait. Games in bold are ones I've played more than just the odd one off game (eg Paranoia) or campaigns that folded after a few games to varying reasons.

This poll has come up over the years. But I'm always happy to lay to rest the myth that ENWorlders/D&D players only know D&D/D20.

In addition to D&D and D20 variants (traveller d20, Spycraft, modern, arcana evolved, grim tales, spellslinger, etc.), I've played:

Traveller (classic, mega, the new era (and hated it)). I also hope to try mongoose traveller soon.
Gamma World (various editions)
Ars Magica (various editions)
Bard Games Atlantis
Call of Cthulhu (various editions)
Champions/HERO (various editions, including modern and fantasy variants)
DC Heroes (various editions)
Marvel Supers (various editions)
RIFTs
Palladium RPG
Ninjas & Superspies
Warhammer
Tunnels & Trolls
Mercenaries, Spies, & Private Eyes
Alternity
Saga (retch)
Rolemaster & Variants (Spacemaster, Cyberspace, MERP)
Paranoia
Legend of the 5 Rings
Cyberpunk
Shadowrun
Over the Edge (retch)
Star Wars (d6... also not a fan...)
Star Wars (d20, all editions)
FATE/Spirit of the Century
World of Darkness Games, oWoD and nWoD (vampire, werewolf, mage)
Feng Shui
Chill
Timemaster
James Bond 007
Stormbringer/Elric
Runequest
Elfquest

Villains & Vigilantes

True20 (bleh)
FASA Star Trek
Star Frontiers

Lots of homebrews and small press games

Probably lots I'm missing.

I should hasten to mention, these are games I've played. I own or have owned many others.

Too many to count or remember over the years. :(

No way I could remember all the d20 ones alone, let alone the early years ones.

Maybe 20 that were decent enough to play more than once.
