Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gargoyle" data-source="post: 357801" data-attributes="member: 529">Games I played and liked (yes, I've never played a game I didn't like at least a little bit):- D&D Basic/Expert/Companion/Master/Immortal boxed sets, then the handy D&D Rules Cyclopedia.  - Started when I was 12, then moved on to the harder stuff. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />- AD&D 2nd edition - Ran more campaigns than I remember.  Loved it at first, got tired of it around 95 or so.  - D&D 3E - What can I say, I love it.  Hoping for a 3.1 version soon though.  The flaws of the system bug me like warts on a good looking girl.- Star Frontiers, Alpha Dawn, then Knight Hawks.  I loved the simplicity of having only four main races in a SF setting.  Yazirians rule.- Top Secret/SI - The only thing I didn't like about this game is that you anticipated being James Bond and usually got blown away by some lucky die roll from a lackey.  But it was fun anyway, for some reason. - Gamma World - Spent more time making up dozens of wacky characters than playing the game.- Chill - I liked the campy flavor of it.  - Call of Cthulu, original.  Fun to run.- Paranoia - Any game with tactical nuclear grenades that have a range of 50m and an area effect of 2km is a good thing.- Toon  - I'll never forget the time I got into a "Yes!", "No!" arguement with another player for a full five minutes (while everyone else drank and laughed at us hysterically) then finally tricked him.- Tunnels and Trolls - This thing was good munchkin fun.  TTYF.- Vampire - Ran this once.  Good, dirty fun.  The scenario was that everyone played themselves, and I turned them into vamps.  They had to find and destroy me in downtown San Bernardino while dealing with their vampirism.  - Torg - The rules took me a full 6 months to figure out (and I had to read the 3 novels to figure out the campaign setting!), but what an outstanding game and campaign setting.  I ran two very successful campaigns, and had more fun than I can remember.  This game was ahead of its time (and probably too ambitious).edit - how could I forget:Marvel Super Heroes - This is an example of how rules can fully support a genre.   Loved to play it.Another Edit:  Cut out the ones I bought and didn't play, forgot the subject of the thread. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />There were probably others.  (and of course there were, I've edited this thing a bunch..)  My mother got rid of a lot of my stuff when I was young, <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />  and I had to sell much more of it quite simply to survive....  (cue the violins...)  I'm something of a completist, and have a compulsion to buy everything in a system, so we're talking about a lot of stuff.  Luckily, I cured myself of this before the OGL and the d20 license....</blockquote>
