Message: <blockquote data-quote="Corathon" data-source="post: 4807321" data-attributes="member: 22238">Specific games I wouldn't play:Shadowrun: I tried it, but hated the setting and the rules.Tunnels and Trolls: Tried it, too simple and jokey for me.Runequest: After a long process of character generation my PC stabbed himself in the gut with his two-handed spear in his first combat (possibly on his first attack roll) due to a fumble. Kind of left a bad taste in my mouth...Warhammer: The nihilism inherent in the setting repulsed me. I will play Call of Cthulhu, though, so I guess that it's more than that. I suppose that determining my "character class" by a die roll, with "rat catcher" as a possible result, repels me also.3E or 4E: I prefer older versions of D&D.FATAL: I know of this game only by rumor, but its sounds repugnant.Genres I wouldn't play:Anything totally mundane. Frex, I'd play Deadlands but not Boot Hill, Call of Cthulhu but not Gangbusters. Actually, I guess that I would play such games, but only as one-offs.Role Assumption type games. I.e., I loved Star Trek, but I wouldn't want to play Kirk, Spock, or McCoy. I want to create my own PC.Anything sexually explicit.Anything that's saturated with real-world stuff that I find repellent. Frex, racism will be a fact of life in some game worlds, but if the game itself was racist I wouldn't play it.</blockquote>
