Cyberpunk 2020 anybody…? Played this one a ton. Still do, but have to modify a bit more what with its timeline starting way back and whatnot.

I never much liked 4th edition DnD, and so stuck with 3.5. Still played the crap out of this, though.

Also one that we have only just discovered and are only a couple of sessions into is Airship Pirates. Yes it’s steampunk. But yes, it’s loads of fun. Or at least, me and my group think so.

I’ve played AD&D (2nd Edition) a lot. Tried 4th edition and hated it.
Also tried Vampire the Masquerade and Call Cthulhu for a short while.
If I’d go back to been a gamer, I’d play AD&D: Dark Sun and more Call of Cthulhu. Due to the fact that I’ve been (mostly) a reader for the past decade, I’d also choose Zero (Archangel Entertainment) and Eclipse Phase (Catalyst Game Labs) as two SF-themed games I’ve been willing to try for a long time. Older (also, out of print) games I’ve been willing to read/try are: Amber, Everway and A Game of Thrones (White Wolf Publishing).
I’m really curious about Midgard (Kobold Press) too…

Exalted and Apocalypse World sound really interesting. My friends are looking for a new RPG campaign to start, I’ll mention these and see what they think.

Thanks!

Amber, dabbled. Call of Cthulhu is one of the four I ran/played in the most (the others being The Fantasy Trip, Empire of the Petal Throne and Traveller). So that makes four (since Amber was more a resource and a occasional side trip than a steady diet). Three more?

Twilight: 2000, from GDW. Rebooted once while GDW was around, probably rebooted again if I recall correctly in the post-GDW period. Gritty, gritty, gritty. Stewed rabbit never tasted so good.

RuneQuest: More a frustration than an experience. I know folks that love it, but I never could get into it. Played it a lot, bought many books and supplements, wonderful world-building, but I just could never get enough into it.

Pendragon: The world of Arthur. A game system that was, for its time, radically different in pace and what it set out to do. Great stuff.

ADRPG REPRESENT! An awesome fucking shambles of a game… not so much a rule-system as an engine for dissolving friendships in a bath of abstract philosophical difference.
