I started with Basic D&D but went off the game until the release of 3e awoke my interest.Ars Magica is an excellent game if you can steer the course between too much realworld history and too much fantasy. It's also the only game I know that's built around the idea of letting groups of players ref longterm games for each other.Shadowrun is an excellent concept, spoiled a little by its mechanics. I used to really like them, but I grew disillusioned with the approach as the concept of dice pools grew. Perhaps a reworking using the Earthdawn mecahnics?Mentioning which Earthdawn I never got first time round, probably because I tried the game with someone who constantly liked to make the parallels with Shadowrun, and thus undermine the actual setting. But I started again about 2 years ago and I haven't looked back since! It's the game I enjoy the most right now.Mage is a really interesting idea, but I think it came into its own in the Sorcerers Crusade incarnation. The amount of clever philisophy that you can build into a game and make manifest is amazing! It's a real thinkers game if you want it to be, probably uniquely amongst the games I play.I will go out on a limb in this group and say that I used very much to enjoy Vampire: the Masquerade. At the time it was so different conceptually to other games I had played. I ran a campaign for seven years, so it must be doing something right, even if it has been hijacked by a crowd who can't seem to distinguish fact and fiction! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Guess that does me. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
