[QUOTE="Capellan, post: 1761391, member: 6294"] Like that, only even longer. :\ [b]Eberron[/b] and [b]Nyambe[/b] are technically D&D, but they are different enough from the D&D I've played in the past that I really want to try them. [b]Grimm[/b] and [b]Little Fears[/b] are both RPGs that combine fairy tales and childhood terrors, as does the fabulous [b]Puppetland[/b] (which I have been lucky enough to play once). [b]Lashings of Ginger Beer[/b] offers Enid Blyton-esque childhood adventures in 'Idealised England'. Wizard stuff, what? As befits someone from the country that gave you The Road Warrior, I'd love to try [b]Redline[/b] or [b]Motocaust[/b]. [b]Conan, Chivalry & Sorcery, Warhammer FRP[/b] and [b]Earthdawn[/b] all do things with the fantasy genre that I'd like to try out some more. I have played and run a little WFRP (mostly at cons). [b]Champions[/b] and [b]Mutants & Masterminds[/b] are both fine games. I'd really love the chance to play the former in a proper campaign. I've played a bit of the latter (including a session run by Steve Kenson), and thoroughly enjoyed it. [b]Fading Suns[/b] is possibly my favourite SF setting of all time. I have no idea how the rules are in play (they look a little cumbersome, actually), but my god, I want to run this. [b]Call of Cthulhu[/b] is a damn hard game to run well, as a campaign. I've run and played a fair few one-shots, but I'd like to see more. We're trying a campaign of it at the moment, but it is yet to 'gel' properly. I've played a couple of sessions of [b]Pendragon[/b], and would like to try some more of it: mythic Arthurian fun for all. [b]Deadlands[/b] has one of the best matches of system-to-setting that I have ever seen. I've run it several times: mainly at cons, but also a short campaign, but it's something I would really like to go back to, more often. I've been fortunate enough to run [b]Spaceship Zero[/b] nearly a dozen times now: 1950s space serial fun for the whole family (though I add a dose of 70s and 80s kitsch, to mine ...) I've just realised I am not even halfway through the list, so I am going to speed up the account a little, here, and just list the other games I'd like to play (or play more often): [b]Noir[/b] - because tommy guns and gangsters never go out of style. [b]Underworld[/b] - because it's either going to be great, or awful, and I want to know which. [b]Underground[/b] - Ray Winninger's finest game. [b]7th Sea[/b] - because the 'feel' of it is perfect for this campaign idea I have involving Cardinal Richlieu [b]SLA industries[/b] - because it's the only Cyberpunk-esque game I've seen with rules that really work, and a sense of humour about itself. [b]Mechanical Dream[/b] - for much the same reasons as Underworld [b]d20 Modern, Savage Worlds[/b] and [b]Grim Tales[/b] - because there's so many cool things I could do with them. Especially Grim Tales. [b]Blue Planet[/b] - because the god-awful game I played at Arcanacon 2004 cannot be allowed to be the last memory I have of this RPG :) [b]Rune[/b] - because it has the words "Viking Mayhem" in the title [b]Victoriana[/b] - 19th century fantasy with a Gothic twist? I'm there! [b]Castle Falkestein[/b] - romantic, dashing fantasy adventures. Tally ho! [b]Talislanta[/b] - because the book is really big and pretty. Also [b]Children of the Sun[/b] and [b]Agone[/b], for much the same reason. Yes, really :) [b]Engel[/b] - because it sounds like a cool and different idea. [b]Dragon Warriors[/b] - because it's the first fantasy RPG I played regularly, and because there is something to be said for goblins armed with icicle swords, and boggarts who can dance on moonbeams. Very folkloric fantasy - like it a lot. [b]All Flesh Must Be Eaten[/b] - braiiiiiiiiiiiiiiins ..... [b]Dungeoneer[/b] - a fabulous 'pick up' RPG. I think it would fall to pieces as a campaign, but much fun for one shots [b]Testament[/b] and [b]Skull & Bones[/b] - two of the coolest sourcebooks for d20 games I have seen. [b]Hercules & Xena[/b] - don't knock it until you've played it: the system works, and it's light-hearted fun. Plus, the three adventures I wrote for it were [i]very[/i] silly :) On the plus side, we've got a weekend of gaming coming up, where I'll be trying Conan and Tri-Stat for the first time. [/QUOTE]
