[b_bankhead]

Hello,

This is a fun Forge thing that goes on two or three times a year. It goes like this:

What are the last three role-playing games that you actually, really played?

Last Played: Shogun - Total SOAP (In progress SOAP PBeM set in Feudal Japan), The Pool (Sci-fi Dungeon Crawl one-shot pickup game), Creverand Universalis or Trollbabe (not sure which of those two was most recent)

Most Enjoyed: The Questing Beast, Shadows, Universalis

Like to Try: Tunnels & Trolls (What can I say... Ron's posts and all this talk about Gamism has inspired Dungeon Crawling nostalgia), Paranoia, and, um... gee. Most things I want to do these days I just do with Universalis. Every Universalis game should count as a different RPG for these profiling threads. ;) Like, frex, I'd like to try "Fantasy Wargame Universalis."

Edit: Ah, doh! Chris and Bob reminded me. How could I forget Black Wing?

What are the last three role-playing games that you actually, really played?

Actually... I'm not sure.  I'm in several PBEM games right now, and I'm not sure which were the last three I posted to.  Instead, I'll list the systems I've played today:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Topos, unnamed homebrew system of my own, Mutants & Masterminds

What three role-playing games, out of ALL the ones you've EVER played, have you enjoyed the most?

That's another hard one, after twenty years... can I really trust my memories of how much I enjoyed those games back then?  Ah, well... I'll make a stab with:

Marvel SuperHeroes (original version), Chill (Pacesetter version), AD&D (second edition)

What three role-playing games that you have NOT played would you most like to try at the moment?
Nobilis, Godlike, Sorcerer

[Lance D. Allen]

What are the last three role-playing games that you actually, really played?

-GURPS: post apocalyptic/magical setting (player)
-D20: Sovereign Stone (player)
-...maybe The Riddle of Steel? Gah, it's been over a year. (Seneschal)

What three role-playing games, out of ALL the ones you've EVER played, have you enjoyed the most?

-WEG Star Wars: I liked the game system, but it was the group that really made it special. (player)
-Vampire: the Masquerade: Again, I've always liked the WoD system, but it was the group that really did it for me. (usually Storyteller)
-Shadowrun: through various games and groups, I've always loved this game. (Almost exclusively GM)

What three role-playing games that you have NOT played would you most like to try at the moment?

-InSpectres: if I ever get a chance to play, I'll actually buy it, too.
-Sorcerer: like many, this game is intimidating to me, but I'd really like to get into it's darkest, grittiest aspects, but in a "traditional" Sorcerer game, rather than the many unusual settings I've heard about (such as the primal one being discussed/played on Indie-Netgaming)
-Whispering Vault: I picked this up in PDF mostly to check out how it's done the same concept as my in-progress ReCoil, and it seemed like it could be a fun game.

For the "like to play" list, I only included complete games, as I'd very much like to play ReCoil, but it's not ready yet.

What are the last three role-playing games that you actually, really played?

The Riddle of Steel, D&D 3rd Edition, The Spin System

What three role-playing games, out of ALL the ones you've EVER played, have you enjoyed the most?

Hmm.. tough call. I would have to say The Riddle of Steel, Deadlands, Amber but in no particular order.

What three role-playing games that you have NOT played would you most like to try at the moment?

Hmm.. I want to at least try The Buffy RPG (although it really wouldn't be my group's thing), Sorcerer (read and absorbed many times, never got around to having more than an afternoon's splat one-shot), and maybe Continuum - although the system sucks ass from what I can see, the concept is nifty.

Brian.
