Quote from: Makofan;876823Here is what I like to play

1) Pendragon is my go-to game. Especially love 1st edition
2) AD&D 1st edition is my favourite version of D&D, even though it is a sloppy mess
3) SPI's Dragonquest. One of the first skill-based point-buy games, super-deadly
4) Classic Traveller. I like the small ship universe and the rules are so elegant
5) Labyrinth Lord. About the best D&D clone out there, and some players don't like AD&D
6) Stormbringer. Like Runequest but more fun
7) Rolemaster. Every now and then I love to delve into its complexity
WEGd6 Star Wars. Have had two great campaigns with this.
9) SPI's Universe. Would play it more but hard to find fans
10) Boot Hill. Good for one-offs but hard to do a campaign

I've got two copies of Universe, complete with star map. Also DragonQuest! Look me up if you ever get a game going.

SPI and Victory Games still exist in an alternate universe where they kicked TSR's ass. Lord knows their games do.

And Boot Hill works great for campaigns, what are you talking about? I hear the same nonsense said about Ghostbusters. It's not the game, it's the players/GM.

My very subjective perception, presented in order of the most fun we had (as far as I can remember)

1. Basic Roleplaying / Call of Cthulhu
2. Artesia
3. The One Ring
4. Houses of the Blooded
5. Stormbringer
6. Strands of Fate
7. Drakar och Demoner
8. Rolemaster
9. Savage Worlds
10. GURPS

My groups had some fun with 2nd ed AD&D too, but we didn't particularly like the system. Wish I had tried Pendragon but I haven't gotten around to it.

I hope to run a DQ game based in JG Tarantis in a few years, will keep you in mind

I'd love to have enough people (and correct ones) to play 10 games. Last year I've been playing:

1. Over the Edge
2. Call of Cthulhu (pre 7th)
3. Lords of Gossamer & Shadow
4. Kuro
5. Heaven & Earth
6. Pathfinder
7. All Flesh Must be Eaten
8. De Profundis

Quote from: 3rik;875055Do you have anything written up for this? I'd be interested.

Only a collection of notes I'm afraid. In a nutshell I started with a one-shot where the characters met Angleton on the mission

Spoiler

where he became the Eater of Souls

. I try to have some of the contemporary missions dealing with the aftermath of what happened during the WW2 missions.

It allows me to show the Laundry's beginning, it's a bit more pulpy in style, which makes a nice counterpoint to the darker tone of the contemporary campaign. I even adapt some stuff from Achtung Cthulhu!.

Quote from: 3rik;875055Yeah, is there a particular reason for doing this?

I wanted an even simpler version of the game and I like how Openquest works (a bit more emphasis on the attributes, the division between "basic" and "advanced" skills...), etc. I added some stuff as well (doubles as criticals, the "blackjack" system from Pendragon. Or maybe this all comes from Openquest as well, it's all a bit blurry now... ).

This would be really cool as a survey monkey poll, so we could see how it lies across the patch. I am seeing some very nice games here I'd love to play with you all!

Newt Newport did start to write just such a uber lite OpenQuest.
It may see publication this year as a side project.

Games that I've played in the last two years:

1. ICONS: The Assembled Edition

2. Mutants & Masterminds Third Edition

I wish it were more than that, but c'est la vie.  As much as I love super-heroes, I'd like to get back into some science-fiction role-playing.
