Favourite game you've never played...

My GURPS: Age of Napoleon book sits--not gathering dust, but nor have I run the Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell spinoff I'd had brewing.

Castle Falkenstein.

Tribe8.

I have the 2nd edition (CORE version). I love how it reads. I'm not sure about the whole metaplot thing, but the setting is just so... made from awesome.

Deadlands - Hell on Earth.

Post apocalyptic alternate earth horror western?! If only I had half a chance to run it. Just screams plot hooks and cool shit, imho (of course). I'm hoping that PEG eventually does HoE "Reloaded" like they did with Deadlands itself.

Nobilis.

Tales of Gargenthir.

I've had this sitting on my shelf for over 10 years, but have never had a chance to play. The system's a bit clunky, but the setting is superb. I'd probably convert over to Savage Worlds or True20 if I were to run it today.

Armored Trooper VOTOMS. I just havent gotten a chance to run it. The last time I started a new campaign it was really on my mind. Every once and a while I look over at the book case and think "Man I realy should play that sometime.". It just hasnt happened. This can also be said for Cadillacs and Dinosaurs as well. (Of course there would be only a hand ful of my group thats know what that is. And they might get kind of rabid about it.)

I want to run a campaign using In Harm's Way and Blood Games II to do this properly. Notice I picked up Age of Napoleon at GenCon, Zachary?

I'd forgotten about Castle Falkenstein. There was also a free game in that style that came with Arcane magazine that I wanted to try. Good to see a few responses to the thread though.

Forgotten Futures. The name of its author eludes me at the moment, embarassingly, but it's good stuff; the full book is even better.

Burning Wheel, although hopefully that will change soon.

Spirit of the Century is currently on my "hungrily devoured the book, jonesin' to play" list. I'll be playing a session at the DC Game Day to try it out. After that, I'm considering using it to run a planetary romance sort of thing.

Planetary romance is like John Carter of Mars-ish? Oh, man that would be sweeeeet.

Just like that.

I ran Adamant's D20 Mars game at GenCon. Though there were some features I liked (the "cinematic editing" aspect of stunt points was a winner), it sort of served to highlight things about the D20 Modern ruleset I don't like, especially for the purposes of a con-game. (I also played another planetary romance game using True20, which served to highlight some aspects of true 20 I don't like.)

But still remaining a point of interest and inspiration with me and those I often con-game with, it's a topic I'm looking to explore in other ways.
