[QUOTE="AIM-54, post: 1761069, member: 15633"] Let's see...some of these I have played/do play when I can and some are to be tried. [B]Shadowrun[/B]--My favoritest of systems that I wish I could play down here, but thus far haven't been able to. :( Next weekend, I'm running a game for my old group up in Boston, though, so I'm looking forward to that. [B]Mechwarrior/Battletech[/B]--Another fave that I haven't played in years. The RPG has the most fun character creation system I've ever seen, though the actual mechanics tend to suck...hence the /Battletech, because they are the be all, end all of mech battle rules as far as I'm concerned. [B]Crimson Skies[/B]--I'm a FASA whore, what can I say? ;) I love the setting, enjoyed the Xbox game immensely and would love to play the tabletop game. It can probably be RPG-ified, much like we used to do with the aforementioned Mechwarrior/Battletech. [B]Earthdawn[/B]--Never gotten to play it, but I'd love to try it sometime. I'm not such a fan of the ED-SR connection, but I suppose that could change. [B]Robotech[/B]--I have the majority of the old Palladium books, but to be frank, it's a mechanical nightmare. I've played it a bit and it never lasted. I want to try and do some conversion thing, maybe d20 template with Battletech combat (which would be pretty easy...there's a bunch of Mechs that were stolen from Robotech, without having to come up with my own numbers...which I might do anyway :p) [B]Call of Cthulhu[/B]--I haven't played this since the mid-90's, but I remember having a blast with the sheer weirdness of it. Too much fun, I'd love to play it again. [B]HARP[/B]--From what I've seen, I might come to like it better than D&D. Or at least as a good break from d20. I'm very intrigued by its magic system, at any rate. I'll be trying it in a couple weeks at the MD-DC-VA GameDay, which I'm looking forward to. [B]Cyberpunk 2020[/B]--I dunno if it'd ever replace SR for me, but I'd love to give it a shot. [B]Alternity[/B]--Friend of mine is a big fan, so it's intrigued me. [B]Exalted[/B]--See above. :) That's the majority of them at any rate. Probably others I'd give a shot as I'm willing to try just about anything. [/QUOTE]
