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.

Well yes, obviously.

Quote from: Celestial;756656I've done some Googling to see if this or something similar has been asked here recently (within the past three years or so), and nothing came up, so...

What are your five favorite role-playing games?  Edition doesn't matter.  If you don't have five favorites, just list as many as you have.

My five favorite RPGs would be BASH!, Buck Rogers XXVC, DC Heroes / Blood of Heroes, ICONS, and Shadowrun.

Granted I very much doubt I'll ever play Buck Rogers XXVC nor DC Heroes again, but those two games will always have a special place in my heart. :P

Savage Worlds (which covers a LOT of ground, actually)
Marvel SAGA
Deadlands Classic
Star Wars Saga Edition
Fiasco

Those would have to be my current favorites, anyway.

In no particular order:

1. Runequest
2. Warhammer
3. Cyberpunk 2020
4. SLA Industries
5. Iron Kindoms

That last one is my latest whim, but I don't like the mechanics (the D&D 3.5 version or the later ruleset that resembles a complex miniatures skirmish game). I don't like some aspects of Runequest's setting, and now I have come to despice what Warhammer world has become. C-punk 2020 is an outdated, but servicable game. SLA Industries I like, but has problems in both setting and system.

MaybeJustNeverMind

  • Marvel Super Heroes
  • Shadowrun 3rd
  • TMNT & Other Strangeness
  • D&D 3 (not 3.5)
  • Vampire: The Masquerade 3rd

That last was based on time spent playing it.  I was young and stupid.  I have a lot of love for D20 Modern, too.

Hmm, I'll answer from the POV of RPGs I had the most fun with at the time, rather than necessarily what I like the most at this time.

Stormbringer 1st Edition (and most later editions, but 1st ed was the most fun)
Advanced Dungeons and Dragons
Rolemaster (1st/2nd Ed) / Spacemaster (1st 2nd Ed)
Vampire (Masquerade, Sabbat)
Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition

Although honorary mentions to Sine Nomine's:
Stars without Number
Other Dust
Scarlett Heroes
I would have put these games on my top 5, but I didn't run them as often as I liked.
I did run SWN on rpol.net and ran it for about a year though and I enjoyed it a lot. It's just I ran and played the others on my list a lot more.

Interesting I didn't put Call of Cthulhu on that list. I do love the game, but I didn't play it all that often, but enjoyed what I DID play of it. Well, most of the time anyway.
It's more GM dependent on being a good game than other RPGs.
