Certainly they didn't all take root as a permanent presence in every metropolitan area and college town like Magic has, though.<a href="http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/" target="_blank">Vampire is still played and developed.</a> It seems to be kind of an East Coast thing, though. It is also notoriously hard to start a play-group since it is essentially a 4+ person game to implement properly.Shadowfist is still <a href="http://www.shadowfist.com/" target="_blank">alive as far as I can see</a>. It has had at least one relatively recent release. Again, its pockets of activity are harder to actively farm because you really need at least 4 people to get in a good game.<a href="http://www.l5r.com" target="_blank">Still kicking, extensively.</a> They are having a global event at 315 different stores this weekend, from Nov. 7-9. They are also gearing up for a new base-set release in Summer of 2009.A game that I never see anymore but enjoyed? Warlord. It had some balance problems in the end that forced a reset, and I think the direction of the storyline aspects of the game just didn't work out, but the underlying mechanics and themes were a lot of fun.- Marty Lund</blockquote>
