Who cares?

I generaly like quite a few systems, and am willing to play in them. I'm also willing to try just about anything.

However, I have found that a good system can add to the game, just as a bad one can take away. Many of the newer systems are much more openended than some of the older ones, that I find them more enjoyable in general.

Generaly, I play mostly D20 (mostly fantasy flavor) right now, but have reciently played 7th Seas, Dragonquest 3rd Ed, Shadowrun, Tales of Wyn'D'Myre, Pendragon, and Call of Cthullu. Each has it's perks and drawbacks.

I will say is my biggest pet pieve in a system is a lack of a truely diverse skill and/or combat system. Without a diverse skill system, many characters end up similar outside of combat, and without a diverse combat system, many characters end up similar in combat. The only bigger pieve is huge game imbalance issues, and even those I can deal with.

Personally I believe that any set of rules will work given the right GM and the right players.

While I don't disagree, it's quite often the case that another set of rules with that same right GM and right players can still be a much better experience.

Does it matter to you what you are playing? Really?

I just love roleplaying, and I will play most games or styles that are put in front of me, provided the players and I mesh. Currently I'm playing in a roleplay-heavy Harn game (mostly investigation) and running a Castles & Crusades roleplay-action mixed game. I also like more hack & slash sword & sorcery style games as well. (Hopefully I'll be able to play in a World's Largest Dungeon game in the coming months).

My RPG collection is a testimony to the fact that I simply love our hobby. Surround me with good friends and I can become enthusiastic about running most any rpg.

There's really only a few systems out there that I can play and really enjoy (D20 and its variants providing most of them, d6 Star Wars providing another). If there was a really spectacular game in a system I hated (like WoD/any of White Wolf's Proprietery System Stuff, and GURPS) I might try it, but the fact that I didn't like the system would interfere continuously with my enjoyment.

I agree completely that any system can work well with the right group of players and the right GM/DM - that being said, I'm only the "right guy" for D20, mostly (and d6, because I still love it, even though it was abusive ).

I'll play almost anything as player. I have found that I have a hard time being the DM if the genre is something unfamiliar; I have to rely on published adventures and such, at least until I get the feel for the game.

Cheers,

It is about the group of friends I am playing with first and fore most.

I'd play most things (and have, probably, now that I can cross M&M off the list). Will not play anything with a heavy oriental or anime theme, though.

 

[Psion]

Very few new games that come out these days appeal to be, being built on principles I disdain (like "wierdness is power" and "handful of dice"). That being the case, chalk me in for "few systems". If I was desperete, I would play a points-for-disads or dice-pool system again, but only then.

I chose "give me decent fellows I will play any system/style" because "decent fellows" don't play Synnibar (or games set up to wallow in something or offend.)
