I'm running 3 games involving Fuzion/Mekton, play in one game using Fuzion/Mekton, and am planning on running a game of True 20 Star Wars for my son and the kids at the local game store. So...nope...D&D isn't my primarty girl anymore. Kind of sad really.
 

I see D&D as my primary game, and the other games I own as in orbit around it. Basically, a new RPG has to do something interesting and fun that I can't do with D&D.

Feng Shui: Fast stunt system, good for action movies.
Dying Earth: Great social combat system, great for games that focus on that.
Call of Cthulhu: Eldritch horror, pulp.
Mutants & Masterminds: Superheroes.
Spycraft: Modern espionage.
Shadowrun: Pretty much it's own genre.
Exalted: Over the top fantasy superheroes.
Omega World: Post-apocalyptic adventure.
Everway: Freeform gaming.

Those are the games that leap to mind as ones that I'd gladly play, and there are probably others I'm overlooking. Games that are just different ways to play D&D don't appeal to me.
 




Barbarians of Lemuria is a fantastic game! Best I've seen for simulating Swords and Sorcery.

My current game is something I'm calling shroompunk-- the strangest, sleaziest Heavy Metal version of Sword & Sorcery, with a setting heavily inspired by 8-Bit and 16-Bit retrogaming.
