[QUOTE="Achan hiArusa, post: 4441094, member: 2597"] [b]Wraith the Oblivion[/b]: Got through character gen and everyone liked their characters. Never ran it again. [b]Changeling the Dreaming[/b]: Had a fantastic first game, everyone loved it. But everyone loved Vampire more. [b]Shadowrun[/b]: I ran a Shadowrun/Cthulhu game, we had a lot of fun. But ultimately, the players didn't like shooting a full clip of rounds into the the Dark Young and having it spit out the bullets. Otherwise, they had had long running Shadowrun games. [b]Vampire the Requiem[/b]: Ran it for a bunch of powergamers. When I told them it would probably last two or three sessions and they wouldn't get enough xp to do anything, but we would have a fun story anyhow, they all quit and went to Shadowrun. [b]Tri-stat[/b]: We were going to play a pulp Cthulhu game in it even though we had access to better pulp games. I didn't min/max my character and the GM was on my case to do so and I refused. We didn't get past the first session. [b]GURPS[/b]: Have never been able to get past the first session anytime I've tried. Fantasy, Modern Day, [i]Transhuman Space[/i], nothing. Tried THS with d20 Modern and I played two first sessions of [i]Singapore Sling[/i] with two different groups. [b]BESM[/b]: Everyone loved the system, but we were always doing only a session, then a long hiatus, and then a brand new game. [/QUOTE]
