[QUOTE="Melan, post: 700503, member: 1713"] 1.) Any of those "rebel against the System" games. Just not my idea of fun. Yes, this includes a group of beginning heroes setting out in secret to (after 18 levels of adventuring) kill Dark Lord #22 and his dragon as well. 2.) About four quarters of multigenre systems. The other one quarter, however, I love. Shadowrun belongs in the former cathegory - Rifts, despite the hellishly stupid rules, in the latter. 3.) Earthdawn: it just didn't assemble into a cohesive whole in my head. Yes, it is a mythical fantasy world... with obsidian men and lizard-people... and trolls raiding on floating ships... and coins made out of elements. And - no, still don't get it. 4.) Hero Wars Glorantha: this is kind of a sore topic for me. I never owned Runequest and I always imagined the world to have a Conanesque, rough edge-feel, monstrous gods and barbarians and scorched wastelands. When I finally got the new game, it seemed that my enthusiasm was almost instantly bleached out of me. It just wasn't wondrous at all - unless you like stealing cows from other barbarians and playing live Ethnography. :( [edit] 5. I never thought I would forget goth-punk! Ehhhhh. :mad: [/QUOTE]
