Feng Shui, Paranoia and other such games

Current games:
I really enjoy running All Flesh Must Be Eaten oneshots, as well as my Buffy/Angel series. Also have a good Firefly Unisystem game going. I've rather enjoyed playing Exalted as well.

Other games I've enjoyed:
Feng Shui
Deadlands
Grim Tales
Mutants and Masterminds
West End Star Wars
Star Wars d20 Revised
Spaceship Zero
Paranoia
d20 Modern - Urban Arcana

Exalted is great. As is Mutants & Masterminds. Amber was interesting, but a bit flawed, IMO. Same with 7th Sea. Toon is a fun one-shot game. My experience with Paranoia is more frustaring than goofy-fun. Marvel Super Heroes was cool, DC Heroes was not, neither was Marvel Super Heroes Adventure Game or Dragonlance: Fifth Age, for that matter. Alternity was interesting but complex, but the Dark*Matter setting is awesome. I played old-skool Warhammer FRP, and I didn't dislike it. ElfQuest was a good comic, not a good game. Dangerous Journeys is overly complex. Prime Directive blew.

Games that I have and I think look cool, but i haven't played, include Buffy, Stargate SG-1, Feng Shui, WEG Star Wars, d20 Modern and Agone.

A games I have, haven't played, and don't want to play is Hackmaster.

Are there any other systems that you have "discovered"?
For years I did play AD&D, with an occasional foray in BRP Call of Cthulhu. But then, though I do like playing D20, I hate running it (far too much book-keeping for my old brain). So I discovered Castles & Crusades a few months ago, and Savage Worlds yesterday.
 

I've played quite a few games in addition to D&D... Let's see...

  • Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (Both editions. They rock mightily.)
  • Godlike (Best superhero game ever)
  • Middle-Earth RPG (Not an experience I care to repeat)
  • Feng Shui (Good game, excellent for one-shots)
  • Vampire: the Masquerade (Good game with the right people, but the worst of the worst with the wrong...)
  • Delta Green
  • Paranoia 5th Edition
  • Babylon 5
  • Star Wars D20
  • D20 Modern
  • Rokugan
  • Shadowrun
 


You cannot go wrong with the three games Pc talks about. Even a year latter they are some of my favorites. And after running Paranoia for a great group of people at Gen Con I really look forward to diving into again when I can.
 

Feng Shui/Shadowfist has the Jammers. The Jammers have hyperintelligent, violent, and idiosyncratic monkeys, apes, baboons and chimpanzees that go by names like "Furious George", "Funky Monkey", "Battlechimp Potemkin", "Che Gorilla", "Koko Channel", "Orango Tank", and "Rhesus Pieces". (Their human members often go by similiar names: Major Hottie, Rah Rah Rasputine, Titanium Johnson, etc.) They like to blow stuff up. A lot.
