Let's say D&D ceases to exist...what do you play?

[avin]

I'm just curious as to why Star Wars Saga is a viable option and Pathfinder is not?

Pathfinder is D&D

I'd play, as I play usually, GURPS.

And Deadlands.

And Mage.

 

[Remathilis]

Well, if D&D didn't exist, I guess I'd have to play World of Synnibarr, FATAL, or Wraethu: From Enchantment to Fulfillment.

Thank god such a nightmare scenario will never come to pass...

Savage Worlds & Mutants & Masterminds (both of which I'm playing or GMing now), GURPS, Shadowrun, FATE, maybe Eclipse Phase, or whatever else we decide to play.

Maybe we'd hoist the black flag, and play D&D or Pathfinder anyways! We'd be rebels! Revolutionaries! Playing by memory, assuming cosmic obliteration of D&D material!

 

[lutecius]

wfrp2 (won't touch wfrp3), Savage Worlds, Fantasy Craft or some other fantasy D20 if allowed.

Is this really necessary to your inquiry?

 

[jdrakeh]

Tunnels & Trolls or HarnMaster.

 

[Crothian]

Then I would probably give Savage Worlds a try.

No, you'd be playing Dresden Files or Changeling.

 

[jonesy]

Without D&D or Pathfinder we'd probably play anything White Wolf as the main game. Or maybe finally start an RPG campaign in Warhammer Fantasy.

 

[Agamon]

Probably WFRP 2e or DCA. I'm currently reading Smallville, and a Cortex Plus game in a Zombie Apocolypse setting (ala Walking Dead) or in the A Song of Ice and Fire setting would be fun...or a Smallvillesque Green Lantern game, also cool.

 

[Maggan]

If D&D ceased to exist, I would:

a - marvel at all the free space in my bookshelves

b - get cracking on my epic WFRP campaign

c - play Call of Cthulhu until ready for WFRP
