Which out-of-print RPGs do you still play?

Gamma World (not the d20 version, which I consider to have lost the entire flavor of the original game)

I agree. You should check out the very good mini-game Omega World in Dungeon/Polyhedorn #94. It is an excellent d20 conversion of Gamma World. By Jonathon Tweet, too.

Star Frontiers!!!

One I wish I could play-

Universe by SPI. Released right before the company went under, this game was a SERIOUS threat to Traveller in terms of playability and quality. Newtonian space combat (Delta V system), robots, planet generating system, a realistic star chart- this game had it all...except time to find its market.

If you like sci-fi gaming, look for this one on ebay or some such. Its worth it.

Someone mentioned Battlelords of the 23rd Century... I LOVED THAT GAME!!!!! It definitely was not a game to be taken seriously, but just for sheer fun, we had a blast with it. Most everything was percentile based, and the weapons... dear gawd!!!! They detailed everything from a sling stone to a black hole generator! Only thing seriously lacking was a space combat system, I was supposed to get the beta rules after paying something like $50 for them, but the developer got very sick and I never saw it. From what I have been told, SSDC bought all the rights to the game (minus the space rules) shortly thereafter. You can still order the books online.

Earthdawn is alive and well. living room games is the current publisher - they've brought out a second edition and a few splatbooks and adventures and stuff.

 

[BASHMAN]

OD&D, and 7th Sea (out of print for 2 months now

I haven't been around these boards in ages, but I couldn't resist this topic. Especially when I saw...

Villains and Vigilantes.

Amen, Brother. Actually V&V (2nd edition) is my game of choice. I'm currently running a "Super-Spies"/Hellboyish style of a game called DIVISION ZERO.

As for other OOP games that I would run if I had the chance...

FASA's Dr Who
Marvel Super-Heroes (Advanced Version)

There are other games but they aren't out of print (yet).

Cheers,
Tim

I was looking at my stuff and realised that I've still got my copy of Metamorphosis Alpha, really tempted to break that out for a small adventure. (1 - 3 sessions).

Hey, is that the Jim Ward one with the dayglo jungle breaking into a metallic sci-fi room on the cover? That was the first RPG I ever owned! We had *lots* of fun with that one!

I still like Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.

Beedy Beedy Beedy, what's going on, Buck!

I love XXVc too. It's an amazingly detailed world.
