I'll play most anything, EXCEPT Rifts!
I was gonna say that!
Honestly, then I realized that I'd totally play just about anything. The question is whether I'd take it seriously as a player or not.
For Rifts, that'd be a "not."

Because I'd personally feel too self-conscious and embarrassed to LARP. It has nothing to do with that specific tool and everything to do with how comfortable I feel doing certain things in public.
In a thing so thoroughly flexible as a role-playing game, why do we have inflexible views about what a game might entail?
Settlers of Cataan for me. I find it absolutely tedious. I find Monopoly more engaging.There aren't any other board games I can think of that I wouldn't play.I'm a huge boardgame whoreI have extensive experience with a multitude of board and card games.
Here's a great recent quote from my game, from one PC to another. "For the last time, Shautha, I'M NOT HAVING SEX WITH YOU WHILE I DON'T HAVE MY OWN GENITALS!"I'd play any system and probably any genre, but keep your sex out of my roleplaying.
Interesting. You do not know that many (perhaps most) live-action games take place in private venues, in which the only witnesses are themselves players?
So, would you play a LARP in your own home, or that of a friend?
This is not intended to sell LARP, specifically - it is merely a convenient example. My point is more to explore preconceptions, and why people give fairly absolute, "I would not do X," answers.
