So which non- D&D based games have you played?

Kind of going of the "playing on line" thread it looks to me like several of us should get together via SKYPE and Maptools and play some Traveller, Shadowrun, Cthulhu, etc...
 

Nowhere near as many as you folks:

Villians & Vigilantes (the old yellow covered one)
Boot Hill
Gamma World
Top Secret
Traveller
Dread
One hybrid game we made up that was based on Gamma World and D&D
You know, technically speaking, the original V&V doesn't fit the criteria of this list as it started out as a D&D campaign! :D
 

Mutants & Masterminds
Star Wars (d6 & d20)
GURPS Supers
Champions

own books, but never played
Silver Age Sentinels
Arcana Unearthed

I'd say D&D pretty much has me in their back pocket concerning RPGs
 

Hmm... from least D&D-esque to most (from a mechanical perspective)

- GURPS
- Earthdawn
- Mutants and Masterminds 2e (PBP only)
- Star Wars Saga
- Star Wars d20 Revised (PBP only)
- d20 Modern
- d20 Wheel of Time (PBP only)

Games I own but haven't ever played
- Angel (Unisystem)
- Blue Rose/True 20
- Call of Cthulu d20
- Iron Heroes
- Arcana Unearthed
 

Give I have been playing since 1976, I'll be kind and list them horizontally... ;)

RuneQuest, Traveller, Chivalry & Sorcery, Metamorphosis Alpha, Alternity, Gamma World, Star Quest, Star Trek (FASA, LUG, & Decipher), Champions/Heroes, Justice Inc., Shadowrun, Bloodshadows, Shatterzone, Star Wars (D20 and D6), Call of Cthulhu, Pendragon, Kobolds Ate My Baby!, Paranoia, Flashing Blades!, En Garde, Boot Hill, Palladium Fantasy, Tunnels & Trolls, Empire of the Petal Throne, GURPS, The Fantasy Trip (if that counts), Kult, Warhammer FRP, The Riddle of Steel, Over the Edge, Powers & Perils, Nobilis, Og, Mechanical/Dream, TORG, Ars Magica, Golden Heroes, Agone, 7th Sea, Legend of Five Rings, Sengoku, Blue Planet, Jorune, Bushido, Stormbringer, Underworld, Deadlands, Castle Falkenstein, Fading Suns, Cyberpunk, Twilight 2000, Morrow Project, Aftermath, All Flesh Must Be Eaten, Burning Wheel, Dogs in the Vineyard, True20 (if that counts as "non-D&D"), Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Changeling (these four I mainly played in OWoD; Changeling in NWoD), Hunter, Exalted, Dangerous Journeys, Earthdawn, James Bond RPG, Everway, FUGDE, RISIS, FATE, Spirit of the Century, Harnmaster, Toon, Villains & Vigilantes...

...and for all I know there are a few others, especially if you count the total homebrews that I have played in. Admittedly many of these were only played as a one-shot at a con, but I wanted to give credit where due. ;)
 

I am afraid I can't compete with the wealth of games played by others, but here's my list:

- D&D 3.x (including offshoots like d20 Modern, T20, Arcana Evolved and Iron Heroes). I love(d) it.
- D&D 4. My primary game at the moment, I love it.
- Shadowrun. This was my first role-playing game. I kinda wish to play it more often.
- Torg. I like that game, and I'd like to play in a longer-lasting campaign.
- Castle Falkenstein. Very different then the other games. There is chance we get to play it again.
- Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (a little 1e, a little more 2e). In some ways like D&D, in some ways entirely different. I like it for a change of pace, but I couldn't play it exclusively.
- Victoria (I think that was the name, maybe I am missing a number like 1889?). Can't say much about it. It seemed to have some interesting features, but was also flawed in some aspects.
- The Dark Eye (Das Schwarze Auge). The German equivalent to D&D, at least in popularity. I am not really a fan. The setting might be describable as gorgeous, but for me it's just to complex and intricate to feel welcome in it. I don't like the game system, either, it is still too complex and overly "simulationist".
- Cyberpunk. Playing it online at the moment. Entertaining, even if the system is a little too "deadly". If you are prepared, you're fine, if not, you might die quickly...
 

There are some people with really impressive lists. Here's mine, in roughly the order of most/least experienced (combining GM and play experiences):

Deadlands
Fading Suns
Savage Worlds (Necessary Evil and various pulp one-shots)
Shadowrun (Some 2e and 4e, but mostly 3e)
Mage: The Ascension and The Awakening
Wild Talents
Castle Falkenstein
Champions
Vampire: The Masquerade
7th Sea
Mutants and Masterminds (assuming it counts)
RIFTS
Tunnels and Trolls
Alternity
Warhammer (2e)
Og: Unearthed Edition
Legend of the Five Rings
Marvel Universe
Star Wars (WEG)
GURPS

I also own and hope to play/run at some point:
Dread
Savage Worlds (Various)
 

Pets & Sidekicks
