Some people have a hard time making the transition to GURPS, especially from D&D. Others, though, love the change of pace. I'm with you, though, I'll always slot it way up high on my fave games list. What's not to love about a game where a heavy crossbow pointed at your head really means something?

Oddly, we ported our White Wolf mash up over to GURPS, talk about a change of pace...

Thinking back, that game was probably over 10 years ago.

When I go point buy, I want my points to mean nothing more than a mechanical effect I get to flavor to taste.

True. You really need something like GURPS Powers to make a superhero style game. It can be done with the Characters book, but not as well.

Someone above mentioned ASL. Oh man, I used to have so much fun pushing the counters around the map. I wish more people played wargames. They are glorious.

Hi-

If you are interested in playing ASL again here is a gropu in your neck of the woods:

socalasl@yahoogroups.com

If your looking to play ASL lite, the current publisher has put out ASL starter Kits, these are cheap entry level games that will help those who do not want to commit just yet to the full rules system:

And lastly heres a great forum where you can talk ASL to your hearts content:

Risus.

Recently a short-lived PBEM called "Heroes of the Xenaverse" (yes it was a Xena parody, okay), and now gearing up for a pick-up home game I'm calling "Her Majesty's Royal Secret Bureau for the Investigation of Bizarre and Untoward Occurrences," which is going to be a sort of Victorian science fantasy/occult/Cthuloid bundle of weirdness.

That's all I've got going on right now, besides D&D.

 

[HellHound]

I'm running CyberPunk 2020 again (an RPG I've been running since the early 90's).

I also run WHFRP2 and Werewolf: the Apocalypse. My Star Frontiers game is currently on hold as we indulge in CyberPunk again.

In 2 weeks I'm running a game of Lacuna Part 1 and then a game of Don't Rest Your Head.

And once one of my players is available again, we are starting up a game of Vampire: the Requiem.

 

[HellHound]

I've played lots of games. I'm only gonna list the ones that I enjoyed enough to play or run again...

Wraith: the Oblivion (AWESOME game)

I only wish my players agreed with you. One of them loved it. I ADORE that game. But the rest of them would rather play Vampire or CyberPunk.

It's wonderful. A real work of genius. I'd love to play a full-on Wraith chronicle. I just got the Orpheus hardcover today through the mail - got the other five on the way. Never read it before. Looks really sweet. A bit of a departure from the Wraith game overall, but looks fine nevertheless.

 

[Wormwood]

In the past two years, I've played or run:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (which actually ended up being Rory Gilmore the Vampire Slayer thanks to Missus Wormwood. Most GM-friendly game I've ever run, and I've stolen A LOT of its premises for my D&D campaign. Ongoing.)

D&D 3.5 (3.75 mostly. Very cinematic, lots of fun. Playing with kids, too---who are grokking the 'action movie' vibe that I'm going for. Ongoing.)

Vampire the Requiem (meh. GREAT crunch, uninspiring fluff. We ended up gutting the setting and just ran a game without clans).

Call of Cthulhu (ran "Dead Man's Stomp" one-nighter for some friends. Most fun I've ever had at a table).

All Flesh Must Be Eaten (I don't really dig 'classic' Unisystem---I prefer the 'lite' version from Buffy/Angel...but this was a very memorable game)

 

[megamania]

Nothing else for role playing games but I have broken out stuff for my kids....

Heroclix and Overpower.

My son got me to play some Heroscape and still tries to get me to play Poke'mon but I don't see that one happening....

[sjmiller]

Currently I am playing in an OD&D game that has been going on for 20 years. I am in a MegaTraveller game that plays once or twice a year. I am hoping that our GURPS Steampunk Supers game will start soon. Oh, and I've just been asked to run some Toon. I think that is all I am playing, or will soon be playing. Given the chance I am also up for playing Villains & Vigilantes, Shadowrun, Top Secret, DragonQuest, or Bushido.

 

[TerraDave]

So much that could be played...and so much time spent just keeping the old D&D campaing going...occasional Call of Cuthulu (BRP) has been the only real alternative over the years.

But I still have hope.

 

[Odhanan]

I've been running a Paris by Night using Vampire: The Requiem, Werewolf: The Foresaken, Mage: The Awakening (with chunks of Nephilim thrown in for good measure), Promethean: The Created and Changeling: the Dreaming (with chunks of Scales). It's a French PBEM.

I'm preparing to launch an English-speaking Requiem for Rome PBEM as well.

I'd like to run Star Wars Saga, Call of Cthulhu/Delta Green and Monte Cook's World of Darkness as well.

 

[Jhaelen]

I only wish my players agreed with you. One of them loved it. I ADORE that game.

I do, too. Never got to play it, though. I don't know the right kind of players for that kind of game, they mostly seem to prefer D&D style gaming, ah, well...

 

[sniffles]

I used to play RuneQuest 2E quite regularly. I'm a member of a current Champions campaign. I've also played in campaigns using Warhammer FRPG and GURPS.
