What's your favorite RPG that you've never actually played?

[coyote6]

Most of the games I really like, I've played at least once or twice. There are plenty of games I'd like to try, but I don't know if I'll like 'em or not.

I'll go with Eclipse Phase -- I like it enough to have bought it, at least.

Hmmmm....Castle Falkenstein, Morrow Project or Decipher's Lord of the Rings.

Deadlands, though currently Eclipse Phase has me in its tractor beam....

That's one I've marshalled, but never had a chance to play, and would really like to.

So my group and I have only ever played D&D. But I'd love to play Star Wars: SAGA Edition, Stargate, Serenity, and PF. My group's just not interested.

While I haven't played Stargate, I'd strongly recommend the other three games. Star Wars is just a love, Pathfinder is solid and Serenity is very well written for facilitating roleplaying.

Rolemaster. I don't have any of the books, and I don't know how it would play, but I'd like to give it a try someday.

 

[arscott]

Ars Magica and Call of Cthulhu. I've played about half a session's worth of play by post for the first, and only a single one-shot for the second. I'd also like a chance to play Warhammer Fantasy as a player (though I've GMed the new edition)

It's a toss-up between
Aces & Eights
and
Zenobia

I vote for

running: Space 1889, Castle Falkenstein, Savage Worlds (will hopefully happen soon)

playing in: Star Wars (1st WotC version; you asked for games one owned)

as experiments: Human Occupied Landfill, Throwing Stones

Rolemaster. I don't have any of the books, and I don't know how it would play, but I'd like to give it a try someday.

I'm in a similar situation concerning Powers & Perils, although I have some PDFs of "rules restatements" from online.

I would advise getting acquainted with RM -- or at least HARP Lite -- before playing, to the extent of generating at least a couple of characters and trying out some action resolution.

HARP Lite is a free download from:
HARP

Look to the left for "FREE Downloads". Choosing the first menu item produces a download dialog for the 4.7 MB PDF.

I'd have to go with:

Eclipse Phase (Posthuman Studios) - I like it so much I almost bought Sunward at Gen Con
Traveller (Mongoose version) - have a lot of the books but have yet to play
Doctor Who (Cubicle 7)
Werewolf

To my good fortune... and persistence... I've managed to play most games I own and am fired up about at least once.

A recent outlier in this department is Diaspora, which seems to elude having me play it.

I'd also love to actually play a few of the cool D20 variants I missed out on actually playing, like Legend of the Samurai and Spellslinger.
