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.

I can't speak for anyone else (and I only forgot my honorable mentions) but in my case its because until recently ~90% of my gaming is/was Gurps, so even my other favorites might be games I haven't played or run in ages.

A little off the beaten path...

  • Amber Diceless / Lords of Olymus / Lords of Gossamer & Shadow.
  • Genrediversion / Active Exploits.
  • EABA.

I listed the three diceless games togther, given they run on the same engine.    Of the three I'm tied between LoO and LoG&S.

As a player, I'll play almost anything, but as a GM I prefer generic/toolkit systems.  I used to love me some GURPS, but not so much these days.  I use Genrediversion if I want rules light, and EABA if I want rules medium.  AE if I want a diceless mechanic for a low powered game.

I don't have a #4 or #5 yet.  I'm hoping to fill those soon.

1. FASERIP
2. Call of Cthulhu
3. Paranoia
iv. RQ 6th
5. Pendragon

Funnily, 3 of those all use variations of the basic system, which by itself Im not actually the biggest fan of. Its more the non-rules or unique implementations that Im particularly a fan of. But, if we go solely by system, my list is more like:

1. FASERIP
2. Cineflex
3. BESM 2e
iv. The Window (watch that cause some flames around here. Sure, the author may be a bigger "Swine" than Ron Edwards, but the system still represents to me a pinnacle of roleplaying over rules design that hasnt been topped -not that anyone's trying these days).
5. DWAiTaS

Ah well, this is as good a place as any to pop my posting cherry.

1. Pokemon Tabletop United
2. Legend (Rule of Cool)
3. Radiance
4. Mutants & Masterminds 3e
5. Mage (Ascension or Awakening, both are awesome)

That's a very very short list of the games i love to pieces, and i had to make some hard choices there.
