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.

Quote from: TristramEvans;760039Is that Marvel (Saga)?

I think it goes:

Marvel Superheroes (TSR) aka "FASERIP"
Marvel Superheroes Adventure Game (TSR) aka "Marvel (Saga)"
Marvel Universe (Marvel) aka "Marvel (Stones"
Marvel Heroic Roleplaying (MWP) aka "Marvel Storygame"

My vote was for FASERIP. I really did not like the SAGA version.

and added honourable mention for Aberrant.

And now the sequence of games in no particular order:

Adventurer, Conqueror, King System (ACKS)
ICONS
Heavy Gear/Silhouette generally, particularly as a system for the TSR Bughunters setting
Call of Cthulhu (5th, if I had to choose)
Warhammer Fantasy RPG 1e

I'm extremely fond of AD&D 2nd edition, too, but these days I find myself converting any D&D material I want to use from other editions to ACKS.
Best,

Both! I enjoyed playing 1E as much as GMing 2E.
But I don't dare to touch 3E...

Isn't AFMBE Classic Unisystem? Or is it AFMBE played as if Cinematic. Or I could be wrong.

I like both Cinematic and Classic, hence the parentheses, but I'm particularly fond of AFMBE.
We did btw a Cinematic mini campaign based on the Supernatural series! Worked out pretty well!

Cool. I'm a fan of the Unisystem games (didn't make my list 'cause I don't GM them). The Supernatural minicampaign sounds like fun!

5) Apocalypse World

Running: Call of Cthulhu
Playing: Mainly boardgames

Chaosium's Basic Role Playing framework: Back in the day,  I had most of the line except for Elfquest,  and it's still my personal all around favorite .

Traveller (Classic) : Nothing else has come close IME in the SF department,  although I find the heavier TNE system intriguing.

Marvel Super Heroes (FASERIP) : Won me over from Villains &  Vigilantes,  where,  e. g.,  Champions just got flings.

The Fantasy Trip: Whether just tactics,  or full RPG,  a very sweet design.

Flashing Blades
Empire of the Petal Throne
Bunnies &  Burrows
Gangbusters
Aces and Eights
And we are here as on a darkling plain  ~ Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, ~ Where ignorant armies clash by night.

Let's see, the order probably shifts around a bit depending on the day, but:

Burning Wheel
Apocalypse World
Dogs in the Vinyard
Fate Core
Mouse Guard

With shout outs to Smallville, Dungeon World and In A Wicked Age.
