This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Games you want other people to like...

I wish the guys I play with would consider Call of Cthulhu, but they make rude noises whenever I bring it up... but that's already a fairly widely played game.

Other than that... The Whispering Vault, Cadwallon, Faery's Tale.

Over The Edge - I really want to spread the gospel. I have actually twice bought extra copies of the rulebook and given it as presents to fellow gamers in hope to make more people play it... and I hate to see Over the Edge books gather dust in bargain bins at FLGS'.
Running: Call of Cthulhu
Playing: Mainly boardgames

Anything I'm selling. I'd like to make a living out of my books if possible.

In addition Hellcats and Hockeysticks. Anarchic violent fun without character death!

Epic RPG

I picked it up thanks to a recommendation from this site (Pundit and Zachary, I think were the ones to suggest it in a thread some time back) and I immediately took to it. It's a pretty fine system and I'm surprised it's not at least a bit more popular.

The official forums have become a ghost town and I rarely see it mentioned as being played. I hope to get a group for it again starting this summer, so I'm not having problems getting people to play it. I wish more people were into it just to discuss house rules and the like.

I think Epic RPG lacks something, but I can't put exactly what it is. Something like the Combat Maneuvers of MRQII, and more adaptable (I mean generic) professions (or however they are called, I can't remember), they are too tied to the setting. Other than that, the system is very good, I agree.

Talislanta: it's the biz and should press so many gamer's buttons, bit of science fantasy, bit of Vance, touch of Arabian Nights and a dusting of Edward Lear..

System's simple and works and allows for loose flexible play, which is so popular now, and yet close enough to d20 for a D&Der to feel relaxed in picking up a die.

I'll second that and add Atlantis: The Second Age plus the original Atlantean Trilogy.

Hands down, Stormrift. I've been dying to play in a campaign of this.

Edit: Others have reminded me that any form of BRP and Traveller would be on this list for me as well.
