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.

This is a lot harder than I thought. I'll change my mind in 5 minutes as well.

1. Call of Cthulhu
2. Buff/Angel/Army of Darkness
3. Paranoia
4. Warhammer FRP
5. Feng Shui
6. Amber DRPG
7. Mage: The Awakening
8. Toon
9. Ghostbusters - yes I actually owned and played the bugger
10. Judge Dredd - The Games Workshop one

I've stuck to games I've actually played and been surprised that I've missed stuff like Stormbringer/Elric.

yeah, there's a few i'd swap out if i didn't limit it to "games played" instead of "wish list"

Just for the record, I'd request/reccommend that for m entry you count "games played" as the official tally, not games I'd like to play. More honest and accurate a rating that way. :)
