Okay, just looking at the thread on buying behavious I began wondering.

The question is on what you buy and what you play.
Obviously we are talking about RPGs here...
I will use the term bulk, which I will simply define as majority and you can determine what level of fineness you want to put that down to.

edit: speeeeeling and clarification

I guess it would also be better to say 'the bulk of my playing and purchases are d20' since I'll also buy Mutants and Masterminds, d20 BESM, stuff like that. I pick up the occassional GURPS supplement.

Rarely anymore will I pick up a new non-d20 RPG. Most of the stuff I really liked (RuneQuest, Traveller) either went by the wayside or is in an entirely new edition I don't really care for (RuneQuest is now in a new RPG-engine; I don't really want to learn a new RPG engine. Traveller.. I didn't like d20 Traveller, so I haven't done much with Traveller lately). Champions is the only non-d20 game I still like, but I have no group for it. So it gathers dust.
 

I mostly play and buy d20 stuff these days. I did pick up a Gurps book just last week, and if Eden could get a good schedule of their Buffy and Angel books I'd be buying more of them. I was runnijng a Buffy game for about a year, but it seems to have died. And that just leaves 2 d20 games.
 


I mostly buy D&D/d20 books, but also pick up some others, particularly Call of Cthulhu whenever Chaosium puts something new out. Mutants & Masterminds is my other must purchase game.
 

Hmmm, lessee...

I have a very, very large collection of rpg books -- D&D (from Three Little Books through 3e, as well as supplements from various companies, both in the TLB days and the OGL days), RuneQuest, Ars Magica, GURPS, Blue Planet, Changeling: the Dreaming, Star Trek (FASA, LUG, Decipher), Agone, Nephilim, Aria, Nobilis, Paranoia, Pendragon, Traveller, Toon, etc...

Currently I have been buying more D20 books (few of them WotC) than anything else and my current campaign is D20, heavily modified; my next campaign will be AU (not UA) based, but again heavily modified. OTOH, I am trying to convince my players to eventually shift over to other systems (top draws right now are Ars Magica and Nobilis).

My buying habits have dropped way off. There are very few D20 books that I have found worth my while (Green Ronin does very well, especially with Testament, Book of the Righteous, and Skull & Bones). I have picked up some miscellaneous volumes, including keeping on top of the AM releases.

What I'm trying to say is I have no idea where I really fit on the chart, so I said "Other" :D
 

I have a rather large collection of Fantasy D20 and official WotC products but GURPS takes up an almsot equal amount of space. What we play would rarely be considered DnD... I homebrew soooo much.
If there had been a "I mostly BUY DnD but play other things" it would have been my choice.
 

My wife and I mainly play and buy D&D/d20 stuff in the past couple of years. But I have a large collection of games from my misspent youth, and my wife occasionally buys Palladium Fantasy stuff since her current game is 3rd edition D&D, but converted from Palladium Fantasy.

We'd play other games, but we're quite happy with D&D and would probably use it for any new games we'd start.

i buy for a number of systems: D&D, Star Wars, Mutants & Masterminds, d20 Modern, GURPS, Savage Worlds, HERO. but for the last few years i've only played d20 (D&D, Star Wars, and d20 Modern).

i'd like to branch out and play some of the other systems, but i can't seem to get my group interested.
 

I've only bought D&D stuff in recent years. I do own all Shadowrun materials. I have also played a lot of other games, but none as extensively as D&D. Shadowrun I used to play a lot, and would still play, if I could - but then that never had as much material as D&D.
