So how many different game systems have you tried?

[The Green Adam]

Way too many...

It used to be a thing for us to try new systems and games whenever they came out. In most cases where there are multiple editions of a game, I have very likely tried them all. Some I've played, most I've run. This is only a small portion of what I can remember. Favorites are bolded.

Here goes...

I never kept count but then again there would be too many to name. I guess I am always on the futile search for the perfect system.

[Primitive Screwhead]

I too fall into the 'too many to count'... I "worked" at a game store for almost 3 years...spending almost every weekend there. Our group fluctuated and played pretty much everything on the shelf...and ordered stuff to play because the title sounded interesting...

The mainstays have been:
CP2020
DnD {1e forward}
WEG Star Wars
RoleMaster
FASA Aliens
Elric/Stormbringer
Paranoia
Top Secret

Dabbled in:
Shadowrun
Gurps
Rifts
Vampire/Werewolf
Battletech (RPG)
Toon
...and a bunch of games listed above.

Played at least once:
Macho Women with Guns
...and a bunch of other similarly popular game systems

Also lots of Axis and Allies, Russion Front, ASL, etc..


From this thread and the previous polls, you can readily see that the EnWorld regulars have alot of diversity... that is part of why I love this place. Everything from the 'seen it all' folks like Thanee and Crothain to the relatively new eyes like Khuxan.

... of course, reading some of those lists makes me wish I lived closer to some of those CP2020 gamers and get to be a player in a campaign
