[QUOTE="Piratecat, post: 1760748, member: 2"] ...what would you want it to be? In [url=http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=101072]a different thread[/url], I mentioned that we usually have friends over every year to play all the non-D&D RPGs that we would otherwise never get to try. I'd love to have suggestions of more games, and see the ones that other people are interested in but don't get to play. For reference, my current list: [list][*] [b]Sidewinder: Recoiled[/b] (fantastic d20 wild west game, very similar to the old Boot Hill) [*] [b]Paranoia XP[/b] (new, good edition!) [*] [b]WotC's D&D Miniatures games.[/b] I've never played a miniatures battle, and would love to have this as an alternative to roleplaying for a slot. [*] [b]Redline[/b] (FFG's d20 post apocalyptic Mad-Max-esque game with car battles and radioactive mutants. Can't go wrong there.) [*] [b]Jack Vance's Dying Earth[/b] (the fantasy game involving much mellifluous and variegated elocution which then may actualize a Gentleman's aspirations. Really.) [*] [b]Feng Shui.[/b] There's nothing like good, old fashioned ass kicking. [*] [b]All Flesh Must Be Eaten.[/b] Zombies, zombies everywhere, and not a brain to eat! [*] [b]Redhurst: Academy of Magic.[/b] Technically D&D, but very much like Harry Potter in its setting and execution. [*] [b]Exalted.[/b] I've heard nothing but good things about this White Wolf game where you play Gods, or creatures pretty close in power to them. [*] [b]Spaceship Zero.[/b] Green Ronin's 1950's radio drama of space exploration, and one fantastic game. [*] [b]Testament.[/b] Green Ronin's game of roleplaying during biblical times. No, I don't think you can beat up Moses and take his stuff. [*] [b]Amber,[/b] the diceless RPG. Doing the characters and a four hour plot would be tricky, but this could make a fantastic con game. [*] [b]Grim Tales:[/b] d20 modern with a twist. Ideally, something Conan-like would be fun. [*] [b]Arcana Unearthed.[/b] Monte Cook's variant D&D, with different classes and races. Good stuff. [*] [b]Spycraft.[/b] I have a deep and abiding love for secret agents. [*] [b]d20 Future:[/b] It's out, it's great, and I'm dying to play. Someone run a game. [*] A superhero game of some sort: [b]Mutants & Masterminds, Marvel, Champions, Godlike[/b], or what have you. [*] [b]Adventure!, Savage Worlds, or Adventure! d20.[/b] It's been a few years since I played a pulp adventure game. We could do with more albino gorillas. [*] [b]Call of Cthulhu[/b] (or some other horror game, but we need something scary. Preferably with tentacles.) [*] [b]Shadowrun[/b] (I haven't played in years. I still don't know the rules. But I love the game anyways.) [*] [b]GURPS.[/b] I've almost never played this, which seems like a shame.[/list] What does your list look like? [/QUOTE]
