I know of at least three Gangbusters campaigns. I'd be running one myself if I had the time.

Quote from: KrakaJak;348490Can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet: UnderGround (or maybe it was Under Ground, I forget exactly). I remember it being mildly popular enough at my flgs when it came out. Tons of guns and a ridiculous setting(where McDonalds was called Happy Ghoul and served former characters as food.).

Only thing I remember about that game was the fact many of the corporations in the game had names with the same abbreviations as game companies. (TSR, GDW, FASA etc). I didn't notice til someone pointed it out to me and it gave me a chuckle.

I'm not playing Dragonquest at this second, but I would in a heartbeat...

I know of people playing C&S in Seattle (at least as of 2005). I wouldn't be surprised if someone, somewhere wasn't playing D&D with the immortals set in some manner.

Quote from: Akrasia;348782I'm certain that there are people somewhere playing D20 Modern, but it sure seemed to fade away without notice.

I know of people playing it right now in Portland, and it gets discussed on other forums in an active manner. I'd probably play it again if chance presented itself, even though I was always irritated with the D&D HP system wrapped around gunplay mechanics.

Quote from: ggroy;3488251st edition of Torg.

I wanted to ask if anyone thought Torg was being played. I never owned a copy, but I've heard intriguing/positive things about it.

I wonder if anyone is playing Aria, by Last Unicorn Games?

Torg rules. It has some quirks, but it's a fine game. I tried to put together a game just a couple of years ago. Didn't work out, though.

The Amazing Engine by TSR. I don't think I've ever seen anyone talk about playing it, ever.

Of course, considering when it came out, it's entirely possible nobody at TSR ever played it either.

I've run Khromosome, and I've played in "For Fairy Queen and Country"

I love KODT... just seeing Jolly's icon makes me laugh a little.

I ran a Bughunters campaign.

Quote from: Drohem;349333I ran a Bughunters campaign.

We feel your pain.

On another note, I ran a Gangbusters game not too long ago, it's a brilliant game that I highly recommend.

I'm pretty sure Flashing Blades and Bushido still get some play.

And I have played Aftermath, I actually took a dog bite to the 12, inevitably.  Far, far too complex for what it was trying to achieve.  I've also played Space Opera, it made Aftermath look like Risus.

Quote from: Balbinus;349410We feel your pain.

Eh, it wasn't that bad, but, like most things with RPGs, it was a labor of love.  I wanted to run a Metamorphosis Alpha to Omega game after that but my group was done with the Amazing Engine System.  At least we were able to actually play a Bughunters game as opposed to the Aliens Adventure Game game by Leading Edge Games.  After making character and trying a mock gun fight, they were finished adn done with it. LOL

Is anyone still playing Cybergeneration these days?

Amazing Engine get's perhaps worse press than it really deserved. If I remember correctly it  was basically a simple, skill based percentile system.

Where things went horribly wrong is with the concept of Core Character, the notion that in a sense the XP stayed with the player and not with the character, but that was easily ignored. Also I think the damage system was pretty awful but probably not beyond repair.

But the actual world books themselves were actually not bad. Back in the day I played in a couple of enjoyable "Queen, Fairy and Country" and "Magitech" games.

But in the end was most damning, what I suspect sticks to most players mind, was just the cheap, nasty books full of recycled art at a time TSR had pretty much lost all street cred. And if you try running a game with such a damaged reputation there is a good chance the game ends up sucking because the players expected it to suck so never invested that much into their characters to start with.

And, in a fit of synchronicity, right about the time that you were posting this comment (honestly, within just a few minutes, I reckon), I had stumbled upon one or two Gangbusters scenarios in a local used book store.  I'd recalled your praise for the game in the past, and, had they had the rules themselves on the shelves, I would have bought the entire lot.
