So how many different game systems have you tried?

I've been gaming since 1993. I have actually run or played the following:

Rules Cyclopedia D&D
D&D 2e
D&D 3e
oWoD Vampire/Werewolf (lasted one meeting)
Alternity (the first game for which the rules made actual sense on first reading and the reason that to this day I prefer games with strong core mechanics)
Shadowrun 3e
Marvel Superheroes Adventure Game (the SAGA version with cards, blech)
Dragonlance 5e (again the kind with cards, blech)
Mutants & Masterminds 1e
Mutants & Masterminds 2e
Star Wars d20 (first version, bought the Revised rules and liked 'em a lot more, never got to play)
Aberrant
Pathfinder

I've bought and read a lot more, but can never scare together enough players or an interested GM for much aside D&D. Every time I start talking to my gaming circle about Exalted or Vampire or whatever, it ends up being a talk about a new D&D game. Very frustrating, even if 3e is my favorite by a very large margin.

Dungeons and Dragons, Fourth Edition.
Dungeons and Dragons, Third Edition.
In a Wicked Age.
... in Spaaace!

That's it, but people are dying to play IAWA again, and I want to run Houses of the Blooded, Rules Cyclopedia, Spirit of the Century and Reign.
 

How many I've played depends upon how you count.

If you count new editions of games as different systems, I'm easily over 150.

If you don't I'm probably closer to 80 or so.
 


This poll has come up over the years. But I'm always happy to lay to rest the myth that ENWorlders/D&D players only know D&D/D20.

I should hasten to mention, these are games I've played. I own or have owned many others.

I was interested in seeing what people played, I've never thought EN worlders only play DnD, esp as half my post count was in discussions about the pros and cons of 3/4e....shadowrun.;)

So many games, so little time. Curse this thing they call work.
