RPGs you own but have never played

Voadam

Legend
The inverse of a previous thread question.

I've played a lot of RPGs. I've played a bunch where I did not have the rules. But I also have gotten a bunch that I have never run or played.

For me on my bookshelf and hard drive there are:

Ars Magica
Call of Cthulhu
Elric!
Wheel of Time d20
Earthdawn
Pendragon
Tunnels and Trolls
Nightlife
MERP
Deeds not Words
Vigilance
Supermegatopia
D20 Modern
BESM d20
d20 Aberrant
d20 GammaWorld PH
Everquest RPG PH
Arcana Unearthed
Alternity Quickstart Rules
Traveller d20 Lite
Witchcraft
Mage the Sorcerer's Crusade
WoD Sorcerer
Exalted
Furry Pirates
Fudge

And probably others.

Some of these I used a lot in my D&D games (Ars Magica, Earthdawn, Arcana Unearthed, D20 Modern, Everquest RPG, MERP, MtSC, WoD sorcerer) but some just haven't been used in a gaming context yet at all.

Do you find you've gotten a bunch of different systems that you just have not used?

World of Synnibarr

Bought it at a boxing day sale at our awesome LGS for $12.50 (marked down frrom 50-something bucks)

And I know people will think this is a joke, but I would like to play it at some point...it looks like a hoot.
 

A few, though not as many as Voadam.

- GURPS (heck, I've got 2 different editions of it, and I've never played it)
- GURPS Traveller
- Stargate SG-1 (though I bought it primarily because I'm a fan of the show)
- Farscape (ditto)
- 7th Sea
- Tenchi Muyo (mostly bought for my wife, who's a fan of the series)
- Harn
- Birthright boxed set (technically not a separate game, but I only ever read it, never played it)
- Spelljammer boxed set (ditto)

Earthdawn
Everway
Fallout PnP
Feng Shui
7th Sea (I'd really like to play Alderac's system for either this or Legend of the Five Rings)
 

Blue Rose
Lone Wolf d20
Conan d20
World of Darkness
Warhammer Fantasy RPG 2e

I hope to get to playing them at some point, for the most part. Particularly Warhammer and Blue Rose.

What I really have a lot of are settings that are gathering dust. But I enjoy reading those, so it's not entirely a waste.

Come to a Chicago gameday. MattyHelms will run it, we will spend 2 and a half hours making characters, and then I will accidentally kill your PC just eight seconds into the actual game.

And while there pictures of said game here, Mark (from CMG) has a True Seeing photo of a Synnibarr game somewhere....

Traveller
2300 AD
Twilight 2000
Space 1889 (though I've used it for a resource on many occasions)
