What's your back-up game?

Planning on Pathfinder, but waiting to see how the English version of Anima looks whenever they get it out on the market. True20, Wow, d20 Modern, Star Wars Saga, and a few others.
 



Dude, D&D is my backup game. I'm definitely not an RPG monogamist.

If 4e rocks, I'll shuffle it into the rotation. If 4e blows, then I won't even notice its passing (although I'll miss these boards).
 

Right now I'm lacking any gaming group. I'm hoping DDI fills in for that, but if for some strange reason 4e flops or I just don't like it (I don't expect either to happen, but both are technically possibilities), I'll probably try to find Star Wars Saga Edition groups through something like OpenRPG. (But I can say unless there's massive UI improvements, I won't be DMing through that.)

For fantasy, I'm waiting for the new A Song of Ice and Fire game from Green Ronin, which I'll probably be trying to play no matter whether I like 4e or not.
 

While I can't see having to go to a backup because "it sucks", the other games I like playing are M&M, WHFRP, and SWSE. In fact, I'll be playing in a Star Wars game that runs concurrent to my 4E game.

If, for some reason, I don't like 4E, I'll probably run my campaign using the RC edtion of D&D.
 

I don't expect 4E to be anywhere near that bad, but if 4E ends up being so terrible that I refuse to play it, I will probably just give up on tabletop RPGs altogether until 5E comes around. There are more than enough good videogames out there for me to spend my time and money on.
