Eh, that's what I remember</li> </ul>Turn-ons:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">  WoD, NWoD.  The people do scare me, but when it comes down to it, <shame>I've got a little bit of closet angst-loving goth in me.  </shame></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Shadowrun 4.  Setting plus a system that made sense -- and lots of sense -- on a single read through.  Cyberpunk + fantasy is weird, and it comes together to make something that is nothing like either is while it's pure... but I don't like the heartless Cyberpunk world to play in, and I like the way Shadowrun went.  And wow, the system makes sense... it's so odd, comparatively. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> True20.  This is my recent "holy grail" system, although in actual play it's not quiiite as cool as I figured it would be.  I still really like it... but I sorta just want to chuck classes into it.  I might do just that.</li> </ul></blockquote>
