What are you playing that is NOT D&D?

Danger Patrol!!!

ap here (with illos):
Story Games - [Danger Patrol] The Planet X Blues

Burning Wheel (several different characters, two GMs, the same world... started as just one player, one GM, but now 2 other players have come in)

Lots of APs here (start at the bottom with Horselord Prince):

Search Results - The Burning Wheel

And probably when we are done with Danger Patrol... I'm going to run Jaws of the Six Serpents... which is a game I got due to a second use painting of mine used for the cover. And boy, am I happy that I got that cover and free copy, because this game rocks my swords and sorcery jones something fierce.... I'm really looking forward to running this!

One of my players is trying to put together a RIFTS game. I don't know if I'll end up playing in that or not.

I love the RIFTS storyline and world content, but I can't stand the game system.

I also forgot that another game I intend to try out is 3:16. It was in the Haiti Relief pack from RPGNow.

I love the RIFTS storyline and world content, but I can't stand the game system.

I've only played it twice, with two different groups. Both those times, the game devolved into arguments about MDC versus SDC, dee-bees, the alignment system, and glitterboys. In both cases, I walked out after about thirty minutes of the "discussion."

I'm not ripping on RIFTS or anything... I just wonder if I've ever actually played it or just watched a slow-motion train wreck. I'd be interested in giving it a shot under someone that has actually gotten a game together and kept it running.

Writing up settings for FantasyCraft and adventures for BASH: UE, Qin, and Weapons of the Gods and of course Wild Talents 2e and the new Fight! The fighting rpg...

If you like any of the fighting games genre, and I mean particularly the video games of the fighting genre (mortal kombat, street fighter, soul caliber, etc, etc), then this rpg is for you.

D&D doesn't do it for me at all anymore, but I love these forums because there's so much great advice from people on here.

What roleplaying games other than D&D (any edition, including retroclones) are you playing, planning on playing, or would like to play?

In order, the biggest on my list would be HERO (my favorite game/system of all time), M&M, Deadlands, Space: 1889 and Paranoia.

I'd also like to play some Godlike, Scion, WoD, CoC, SpyCraft and yes, even RIFTS (more for the setting than the meh-chanics).

I'd also like to play some of the 3PP 3.5-based FRPGs, like Pathfinder, Arcana Evolved, True20, Warlocks & Warriors and Midnight 2Ed.

M&M2e... tonight, in fact. It's the long-awaited return of Joseirus, the Egyptian God of Mexican Wrestling and the rest of the Teen Templars.

In this thrilling issue, we have to give the Spear of Longinus back to Hitler so the Nazi's don't win WWII...

Does he accidentally stab himself in the foot with it, thus going mad or something?

Heh, I've always heard RIFTS called "the most awesome game nobody plays" - everyone I've talked too seems to likewise like the world but can't stand the game mechanics. If you do find someone who enjoys the rules (besides Kevin), let me know

For me, RIFTS is like the mirror-universe twin of GURPS.

RIFTS has a killer setting and is as creative an RPG as any you can name, but the system sucks.

GURPS has some of the best researched sourcebooks...its flaws are mostly in the form of variant rules for the different sourcebooks/setting books which kind of belie the game's "Generic" and "Universal" elements. Still, those rules are quite well done.

The question is...which one has the goatee?

That's so videogamey.
