[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 5386475, member: 59082"] For whatever reason - say, a quantum random event occurs in which all D&D books instantly vanish and are transported to the alternate dimension of Gygaxia; or WotC simply decides to shelve the product line and you decide to pay something else - what do you play? This, of course, assumes that you play some form of D&D as your primary game, probably a safe assumption on EN World, which is why I ask this question here rather than on RPG.Net. The idea being, you can or will no longer play D&D (in whatever form)...what do you play? Speaking for myself, I'd be open to playing quite a wide variety of games - although mainly in the fantasy or science fiction genres; I might be willing to try out an espionage or super hero game. But in terms of what I'd focus my time and energy in, and be wanting to not only play but GM, I'd probably go with one of the following: [B]Savage Worlds[/B], [B]Ars Magica[/B], [B]Stars Wars Saga Edition[/B], [B]Talislanta[/B],and maybe some variant of [B]Mage[/B]. There are plenty of games I'd love to play, at least on a trial basis - despite its overly gonzo style, I've always wanted to give [B]Exalted [/B]a go, or something like [B]Earthdawn, Hellas[/B], [B]Eclipse Phase, Diaspora[/B], [B]Shadowrun[/B], or any number of other games. But if I wanted to stay on a fantasy kick, I'd probably use Savage Worlds, Ars Magica or Talislanta, and either use a default setting or probably adapt the game system to a homebrew world. If I wanted to branch out in scifi, I'd go with Stars Wars Saga and maybe advance the timeline 1,000 years so I could heavily modify the setting. What about you? EDIT: I've removed the rather offensive political reference from the OP - Rel [/QUOTE]
