Sometimes it feels as if we're never going to play any other game or system other than d20.
I miss my Vampire the Masquerade.
I miss my Cyberpunk.
But living in the country, it's really hard to get anyone up on a regular basis, and we're not quite ready to introduce the girls to either of my fave games. So D&D it is. And Star Wars. I'm looking forward to our Rokugan/Dragonstar crossover.
Games I never want to play:
-Wraith (played it once under protest. Loathe it)
-Changeling
-Street Fighter
-any game that requires a calculator or ten different tables to generate characters or resolve combat... Top Secret, Merc, Revised Recon
-CoC: MAYBE I'll give the d20 version another chance, but heck, I can barely make it through Lovecraft stories.
-CarWars. Hubby loves it. Can't stand it- totally pointless, few redeeming qualities. Any game where you sit for hours slaving over constructing a vehicle or character which you plan on destroying doesn't catch my interest. Heck, Giant Monster Rampage only grabs my attention because of the kitsch value. The rest of the family loves it though.
-Kabal. Sometimes collector value STILL doesn't justify buying a product.
-MetaBarons- wow, Moebius and Jodorowsky! Sweet! What a great universe, too bad we just don't have the time or inclination to actually learn a completely new system.
There are others, but I'm sure that Hound will elaborate on them just to show how big his gaming dick is.
We own tonnes of games that got pillaged for ideas, but never once played (Shadown, Cyberspace, Living Steel to name a few). Other games we got as far as generating characters and then gave up (TMNT, Nephilim). Some lasted a few sessions then got shelved (Traveller, CyberGen, On The Edge, Stormbringer)...
Our basement is a graveyard of books, where RPGs go to die.
