I have always liked the MERP (Middle Earth roleplaying) games that were published by I.C.E. they were difficult to get the hang of but very good once you got familiar with them. Then the only other roleplaying I did was Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay in fact I probably still have my first edition buried somewhere. It is due for rel-release soon and that maty spark my interest once again.
Shadowrun
I must admit I\'m surprised to see anyone else mention it - - I sometimes think I\'m the last person on the planet to remember it.
I always liked the D6 system, except that a 7 was basically the same as a 6. I also loved the point system for character creation. Too bad it never really caught on.

Oh man ...
Well, Shadowrun... I liked the general idea, but you either get the system right off the bat, or you never will... I never won\'t.
I would still like to try Paranoia...
Deadlands is a real riot! Loved playin\' it, an\' layin\' id ohn reeel thick, pardner...
I do love the storyteller stuff (well, actually I can\'t stand changeling), but imho, it needs one well prepared story/dm, as you can\'t just whip out a pack of sabbat vamps everytime you run out of ideas...
...while this ALWAYS works with orcs. D&D is still #1 good clean fun. Btw, got to get around to doing that campaign universe...
Cthulhu... Scare \'em shitless, or get scared shitless, but you gotta love it!:duh:
GURPS is nice for a change, though...
*looking at amount of writing*
*cringe*
Oh, and I like to think I have a life...

I gotta admit I was into MERP for a long time, it was really nice, because you\'re really existing in the detailed world that was created by tolkeen, so there was always that feeling you could go wherever you wanted at any time and there was material to interact with and not just having the GM making it up as you went
But all those charts *shudder*
But since 3rd edition D&D, I haven\'t looked back...

Yeah...
Yeah, who needs a real life anyway!?
Since I moved away for college, I haven\'t been playing much (left all my buds behind *sob*)
But my very significant other wanted to try RPGs, too, so I introduced her to the wonderful world of ... Cthulhu (just the two of us)... well, we had to have a break, as she was getting too freaked out (she normally gets the wiggins from watching thriller movies...), so now we\'ve moved to something lighter... Dark Ages: Vampire lol

Mechwarrior II is my favorite currently (going on three years on top of my list), but Palladium Fantasy, Vampire the Masquerade, and Beyond the Supernatural all hold very high positions on the list and rotate by mood.
Paranoia.
Because the Computer is my friend and anything else would be treason.
Started on AD&D Dragonlance, although I had MERP before that, we just didn\'t understand it (no-one to explain it and I was only 11).
I played many different games, including Rolemaster, Ars Magica (my friend wrote the Levant Tribunal book), Runequest, WHFR, Star Wars, Vampire, Mage and GURPS (where I played a young female dragon who spent most of her time in human form and had little idea how tough and strong she was, very entertaining).
I haven\'t roleplayed in years though.

i played Shadowrun with 3 of my middle school friends, but had a bit of a falling out. Stayed close with one of them... he had drawn up his perfect runner, but back then we didn\'t have a clue how to make our own minis. But later on i found out of the magic that is Green Stuff, and he forked over the guns he\'d found and last christmas he got his runner finally. So the two of us went and opened the door of Room 5B78... and found that Dunkelzahn wasn\'t really dead, but was on life support and need human blood to keep him alive... and his guards took us, and feed us to the machine (we had left Shadowrun and got into Wammer 4DK so i think he MIGHT have stolen that from the Emporerlol)
i tryed and wanted to get into D&D, but nobody really plays around me. So i\'m just building an adventure group on the off chance i get some folks to play with... if not, they\'ll still have a nice spot on my shelf.

ok heres my point of view on that topic: i think all rpg\'s suck and people playing rpg\'s are total nerds
it might be my lack of interest in fantasy stuff or just my humongous manlyness but i find rpgs incredible boring.

The \"I rule\" and \"my humongous manliness\" almost make you sound like Maddox, albeit one who paints little toy men.

I hear tons about gurps that you can play in any ol\' setting you like. Deadlands is also intriguing.

I think I\'ve gone and scared myself now, because I\'ve played every single game that\'s been mentioned in this thread. Damn, I\'m a geek. lol
Of course, I\'ve also played a bunch that nobody\'s mentioned... (ex. Justifiers)
My faves used to be Shadowrun, then Vampire/White Wolf. Only recently did I find Savage Worlds, and now that\'s my fave. Great system, fast play, and can be used for any setting (better than GURPS, IMHO). Still, though, I\'ve had some great games with other systems, even when the system mechanics themselves sucked rocks. A good GM and group of players makes all the difference...
