[QUOTE="JeffB, post: 6233077, member: 518"] Lots of excellent suggestions here. Many of the older games, I am familiar with, and most I have owned at some point, but there are some new games I will need to check out too. Right now the Kids (14yos) are leaning towards Post Apocalypse or 20s/30s Serial Pulp. . I would definitely run CoC more like "Indiana Jones at The Mountain of Madness", vs. the really intense Lovecraft faithful style. They really warmed up to the idea of Gamma World, however they were pretty adamant on wanting to play Pure Strain Humans. I am a fan of a less Gonzo Gamma World ala 1E, and I get the feeling the Kids would prefer that as well...a bit more gritty like Aftermath or The Morrow Project (which I possibly will steal, idea wise from, and transfer to another rules system). It is my understanding that the new 4E inspired Gamma World PCs all have mutations, is that correct? They have also expressed *some* interest in Runequest/Glorantha, and if I was going to do fantasy, that is what I would do (likely OpenQuest), but I think they are feeling the itch to kill things with Guns ;) (at my son's age, I had already written up-or rather typed up on a Vic20 and later a C64, my own very detailed modern combat RPG, of a couple hundred pages, and 2 of my other gaming friends had also done the same, lol) Savage Worlds...I know it gets MUCH love, but I bought the original hardcover 10 years ago or whenever it was released, ran a few oneshots and it really did not click for me. Maybe it will for them...and rulebooks are certainly cheap. At any rate, looks like I will have to do more adventure work than I would prefer, regardless of system. Either to create from whole cloth, or make existing stuff "kid friendly". We are not going to be getting together again until after the New Year, so I have a little time to narrow things down.
