What games or game systems do you miss playing?

[Tommi]

I this order:
Rolemaster, preferably in Shadow World. It has been more than five years since .....
In Nomine - actually any game that my old In Nomine GM ran.
Fudge.

I'll throw in with the DC Heroes crowd.

And add MegaTraveller.

I had one of the best campaigns as a GM running Rolemaster, but, geez! Combats took forever! I always complained that to run the game right, each player had to have a 10-12 page character sheet! Still, the fights were exciting. Trying to decide how many points to shift from offense to defense... The players knowing that at any time I could roll 00 on a critical chart... 1 XP per point of damage taken...

Spacemaster was another great game. Never give a 1st level PC a plasmatic repeater rifle.

Star Frontiers was another great game--the first RPG I played after D&D. Hovercar chases using that city map and a bazillion cardboard counters... Fleet combats against the insidious sathar ships... Cranking your laser rifle up to do 10d10 points of damage in one shot...

Bureau 13: anyone even remember it? I used to love playing it all the time!

Top Secret: We had a GM who read all the old Mac Bolan books. Man was he good at putting us into the game!

No RPGs come to mind when I ask myself this question. We semi-regularly play one-shot RPGs now and then. There are a number of table top/board wargames I miss. Namely Necromunda, Blood Bowl and Space Marine/Warhammer Epic.

My FLGS was giving copies of this main rules away for free as an in store pormotion (that and they had about 50 copies lying around it their backroom). I think I left my free copy behind.

Huge, huge DCH fan here. Always looking for an excuse to run games, even as one-shots, and always missing it when I'm not immersed in it.

Hands down it has to be James Bond by Victory Games. Simply one of the best game systems I have ever used. Easy to learn and adapt, plenty of material, depth, role playing, challenging, and the villians were EVVILLLL, and women gorgeous.

This game is my pick over all others. I have everything Victory Games ever put out for it. The products not only worked well, but they were slick. I've yet to run across another game company that gave you as much bang for your buck.

The adventures came with full color player handouts, maps, extras, and were packed in a sturdy slim box that took a hell of a beating.

On top of that, I grew up in the Hill Country of South Central Texas (up between Boerne and Comfort, North of San Antonio, for those who just MUST know ) and getting a gaming group together when your nearest neighbor is about a mile away was difficult to say the least. But James Bond 007 was ideal for a one-on-one game with my best friend who introduced me to D&D and the lot.

We played that game soooooo much.

Baffled why no one has picked up this liscence.

It's probably very expensive.

Hell, I would just port the whole system over as is, as it was simply done and wonderfully balanced. Base on ease factor of the task to be accomplished, you rolled percentile dice for a majority of tasks. Less than ten percent of the needed success number meant you earned an incredibly valuable hero point.

The system was great, for sure. A tad slow during the first couple to half-dozen sessions, then it moved like lightning.

Loved that game. Anybody remember playing it?

Absolutely.

Shadowrun.

I miss DC Heroes. The combat system sometimes took 40 forevers to resolve, but as a player, I never had so much fun as I did when I played that game. Was in a campaign that lasted from 1988 to 2000. Good times.

What about anyone else? Have a favorite game you don't get to play anymore?

Skyrealms of Jorune
Mechwarrior
Battletech (though Megamek is cool, I should get back into it)
