do you play any non-d20 games? If so, what?

[FCWesel]

I am liking non-d20 games more and more. I just really like leveless games for the most part.

7th Sea
L5R
Blood Shadows
Castle Falkenstein

There's the Unisystem Lines:
Angel
Buffy
AFMBE

(They have several more to be released yet: Ghosts of Albion, AOD, ConX)

Lord of the Rings
Star Wars (WEG d6)

Currently (alternating, partially with some additional players)...

- Mekton Zeta
- Midgard
- Perry Rhodan (Midgard rules; I have absolutely no clue about the novel series, however )

Others that are rarely played currently, but certainly might be played again, eventually...

- Shadowrun
- Amber
- Deadlands (no d20!)
- Call of Cthulhu (no d20!)
- HERO/Champions (tho, maybe M&M might be used instead then)

Non-D20 games

In order of preference:

-GURPS Fourth Edition: I've both run and played in steampunk/fantasy, comic book superhero, alternate history, and time/dimension travel campaigns, and this is still my favorite generic system, although The Basic System, Fudge, and Risus come close.

-"Castles and Crusades," although isn't this sort of D20? What about Conan and the other Mongoose OGL games (Old West, Cyberpunk, Steampunk, etc.)?

-"Shadowrun" Fourth Edition

-"Big Eyes, Small Mouth" or "Silver Age Sentinels" Tri-Stat Editions

-Old "Star Frontiers" or "Gamma World"

-Decipher's "Lord of the Rings"

-"Star Trek" (Last Unicorn or other versions)

-Paranoia XP

-Palladium Fantasy

-"Buffy: the Vampire Slayer," "Angel," and the latest "World of Darkness" games (everybody was doing "Vampire: the Masquerade" back in the 1990s)

-Champions/Hero System; any good espionage or superhero game

-RoleMaster/HARP

I own other games, and like some of them.

However, I see few opportunities or desire to play most recent non-d20 stuff. To many new games embrace principles or rules conventions I actively dislike (frex, excessuve cutting of corners in the name of rules-liteness, dice pools, disadvantages as point farms, etc.)

I do dig the likes of A|State, Hero, and many others, but don't know that I will ever get a chance to play them.

Mage!!!

The only non-d20 RPG I play extensively and love is Mage 2nd edition. It is the one true edition of Mage: The Ascension, all others are merely pale imitations...

Others I have dabbled in are The Riddle of Steel, Rifts, all the other World of Darkness stuff (not as good) and Alternity.

-"Shadowrun" Fourth Edition

Are you playtesting it or something?! (I might be too...shhh... )

I am liking non-d20 games more and more. I just really like leveless games for the most part.

Me too. I really like systems with no levels and no hp's.

 

[Khayman]

Ah yes, I forgot Amber DRPG. Thank you, Thanee, for reminding me.
