Favourite Non-D&D games?

Favorite non-D&D games? I have to say:

Battletech, especially when the campaign revolves around running and managing your own mercenary regiment. You get some RPing, some wargaming, and some strategic planning in your game, which is a nice break from playing fantasy RPGs.

Star Wars Saga is another. Fast, not too bad to prep for, and allows for awesome RPing if your players are into it. I have very good RPing memories from running my Saga campaign for over a year.

Savage worlds vote here.

And Sufficiently Advanced as well. It's fan made, but a fantastic game. Really cool setting and easy, easy mechanics.

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Shadowrun and World of Darkness games (specifically Mage: The Ascension but I could also do me some Dark Ages: X where X = Vampire, Mage, Fae, Inquisitor).

Shadowrun 2E for a good number of years was my goto game, and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay was what I'd play if I wanted me some medieval fantasy with elves and magic.

My current favorites:
Savage Worlds
True20 (1st choice for d20 class/level)
Cinematic Unisystem
Cortex (Classic)
Both Icons and Mutants and Masterminds 2e for superhero campaigns.

"Classic" games that I like are: Ars Magica, Bond 007, DC Heroes 2e, Earthdawn, Ghostbusters, Toon

"Classic" games that I like for their settings: L5R, 7th Sea, Cyberpunk (2013 and 2020) Shadowrun, Warhammer Fantasy RPG, oWoD

I also admire the design of Cartoon Action Hour Season 2, FATE Core, most of the Cortex Plus games, Atomic Highway, Lady Blackbird, and Warrior Rogue & Mage, but have not had a chance to give them a try as a player or GM.

I left off D&D 3e and Marvel Super Hero Adventure Game. Both find have potential, but I have to heavily house rule them to make them shine for me. For the former, I require various DMG and Unearthed Arcana variants and several 3rd party supplements. For the latter, I require several options from Steve Kenson and the online community.

I'd say that Mutants & Masterminds, 2nd Edition is my most played non-D&D RPG. I really like 3rd Edition, too.


Eclipse Phase is my favorite non-D&D RPG, period. Everything about it (sans the chargen and Jovian Republic) is great in every way.

7th Sea and World of Darkness

My all-time favorite is probably Ars Magica. I also like it's modern-day equivalent, i.e. oWoD Mage.
I also have fond memories of Runequest because it managed to find the perfect balance between playability and realism.
