There are actually quite a few hardcore fans still playing Morrow Project. Also, much to my surprise, the books are still in print.

I see microlite20 get used for a lot of 1 shots or intro games.

Metamorphosis Alpha, Gamma World and Gangbusters get queries and games scheduled at conventions. I think all 3 will be played at GaryCon and I've seen mentions for NTRPGCon.

I'd love to play Gangbusters at some point.

What about the TSR Conan RPG? It seems like there are a 1,001 Conan styled RPGs but I don't hear so much about this one. I saw a post dated 2005 from RPG.net but that's it.

Conany Goodness TSR style - well, its close anyway

While it ain't the original per se, it is a brave attempt to renew/revive the system.
I start from his boots and work my way up. It takes a good half a roll to encompass his jolly round belly alone. Soon, Father Christmas is completely wrapped in clingfilm. It is not quite so good as wrapping Roy but it is enjoyable nonetheless and is certainly a feather in my cap.

I wish folks were playing Metal Magic and Lore. That's a neat game.

I'd be mildly shocked to find there were still people playing the newer Marvel Comics rpgs. The Saga card deck version never seemed to click with anyone, and I don't recall the one using the stones getting any play whatsoever. In any case, I certainly never see any discussion of them online.

The Marvel Universe rpg (the one with the stones) came and went so fast I actually did not manage to get hold of it originally. Strangley a few copies remerged last year. Basically it was Marvel that pulled the plug on that game.

It is actually a very interesting design. My major concern though it seem to a lot of hard work for the GM. Just imagine running 4-5 super villains at the same time, each with their own pool of stones and regeneration rates.

So in the end when I finally did get a hcance to run a supers campaign I turned to the old FASERIP Marvel set instead, and I have to say despite its age and odd clunky bit, it worked very well.
New! Cyberblues City - like cyberpunk, only more mellow. Free, fully illustrated roleplaying game based on the Fudge system
Bounty Hunters of the Atomic Wastelands, a post-apocalyptic western game based on Fate. It\'s simple, it\'s free and it\'s in colour!

Quote from: Ian Absentia;348713Hey, and while we're talking about Immortal, from that same period and essentially same genre there was Chaosium's Nephilim.  Hell, I loved that game and am currently cannibalising it for a campaign to run for my kids, but even I won't bother playing the game as it's written anymore.

Probably too far in the future for you, especially if you're waiting for the English version, but hey...

No one ever played the stones game. I knew online a number of people who successfully played games using the character writeups and some rules of some kind, but truly there was not a playable, defined game within those pages.

Swordbearer. Excellent design, but very spare, very old school. I think it inspired other designers more than it ever resulted in actual games.

Great game. I'd play it today if it wasn't for the damned tiny font. And I don't know if it was all that "spare"....certainly not compared to OD&D or T&T...a lot of info in those small booklets.

It had two magic systems which, while interesting, were not to my liking and not very fleshed out.

- Gangbusters

I have a copy of Gangbusters 3rd edition and I ran a game for a group and had a lot of fun.  The rules were wonky but we could make then work.

A guy named Mark Hunt got the trademarks for the game and put out a B/X edition of Gangbusters not too long ago and it looks good.  I have it but haven't fully read through it yet.
