HERO (playing)
Silhouette Core (between campaigns, more likely to be GMing than playing)

Technically, a homebrew system based primarily off the OGL Conan rules is "non-d20," too, so at the moment, I'm not playing any d20. :D However, I certainly don't consider that non-d20 in any but the legalistic sense.

recently I've only played Shadowrun, however I have previously played Paranoia 2nd ed, Heroes Unlimited, Recon, Hackmaster, naturally 2nd ed AD&D and about 3 sessions of first ed... and I guess that's about it.
 

Recently, I've run HackMaster (all the time), 7th Sea (occasionally), and 3.5 (regularly).
I play RoleMaster (regularly).

Regarding Burning Wheel:

There is no setting in the sense of a map and a creation myth and named NPC's.

However, there is an intensely implied world in the mechanics and character creation of the game.

I'm a GM who enjoys collaborative world creation with my players, so it is all of the setting I need.

I checked out the BW site and it does seem to have an implied stereotypical elf, orcs, and dragons type of background to it. What i would ask from those that have the game is...is it so tied into the game that you can't get away from it? I've had the stereotypical fantasy background enough for a lifetime of gaming. Is the implied setting tied into the mechanics so much so that if i tried to play an a-typical fantasy game, would i be fighting the system all along the way?

There is another setting among the free downloads to the game, a brutal post-apocolyptic setting called Under a Serpent Sun. Other setting add-ons will be out...

Monster Burner is the key book for taking the game and making up your own settings and lifepaths with it.

I'm interested in trying out a Perdido Street Station-inspired steampunk setting with it.

I know people have played steampunk, ancient China and I myself played in the post-apocolyptic setting and it was brilliant.
