[QUOTE="DeviousQuail, post: 8949298, member: 7025431"] My non D&D games have mostly occurred in the last 5-6 years so my list is a bit shorter. Cypher/Numenera: Had a lot of fun running Cypher and was a player in a Numenera game for a while. The Numenera game fizzled out (most of the players just weren't feeling it), but I enjoyed it. The weirdness of it was the best part. Cypher was fast and crazy and I enjoyed running it. Overall it's fun and I'm planning on DMing more of it in the near future. I know they updated the rules, but in my book the Adept (Nano in some settings) gets 4 "spells" not including Focus abilities at tier 1. Did older rule sets only give two? That seems bizarre. I know Numenera gives you fewer options, but makes up for it by giving you more built-in ones at each tier. Kids on Bikes: rules light and scratches that itch to play those "kid" adventures. Fun for a one-shot but I'm usually craving longer games. Dread: I like playing this game once a year. It keeps it fresh and full of dread. Coriolis: A solid setting and pretty easy character creation and advancement. A very different feel compared to D&D. Works great for anyone looking for a game that's gritty instead of heroic levels of power. The only downside is trying to use the book as a rules reference. It's very beautiful, but such a pain when trying to find information. Gamma World (I think): It was a short adventure. I was a pinstripe suit wearing demon with a sword cane and fire powers. It seemed promising, but the group didn't last. I'm only 70% sure it was Gamma World. Could've been some other weird post-apocalyptic game. [/QUOTE]
