[Anthony I]

MOST RECENT:
D&D3E (stock fantasy & Deadlands vaiants), AD&D (long term Greyhawk campaign), GURPS  

MOST ENJOYED:
Vampire:tM (first taste of premise driven play that happened totally by accident), BRPG varient with homebrew setting, AD&D Ravenloft setting

MOST ANTICIPATED:
Sorcerer, Donjon, Riddle of Steel (gonna give it another try)

[johnzo]

Most recent: Prime Time Adventures, Savage Worlds, My Life With Master
Favorite:  PTA Imperium, Gamma World w/ Alternity, and Peregrine w/ Silhouette.  
Anticipated: Burning Wheel, Riddle of Steel, and Torg

(for Gamma World and Peregrine, the games were much more driven by setting and situation than by ruleset, so it felt wrong to just say "I played Alternity" or "I played Silhouette.")

[RaconteurX]

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

Star Trek (regular campaign) , HeroQuest (demo games I ran) and Toon (LARP at GenCon, believe it or not).

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

Pendragon (I'm an Arthurian scholar, so of course I love this), Heavy Gear (followed it from before publication) and Fringeworthy (played in the original playtest campaigns, and designer Richard Tucholka is one hell of a gamemaster).

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

My Life With Master (it's just too twisted for words), InSpectres (concept close to my heart, as a long-time Ghostbusters fan) and Dark Continent (wifty British import of exploration and adventure in 19th Century Africa).

[Jonathan Walton]

Last: Once Upon a Time (yes, as an RPG), Nobilis, Engel (w/ Arkana).
Most: Nobilis, Vampire, Rifts: Wormwood.
Want: Nine Worlds, Torchbearer, Argonauts.

For all the time I spend thinking up RPG settings, I have surprisingly little time to actually play.

Last Three

* Hackmaster
* Abberant (Ran a homebrew setting)
* GURPS Transhuman Space (Ran with a homebrew system, eventually a homebrew setting too)[/list:u]

Funnest Three

* Hackmaster (Ongoing game with a permissive GM who encourages my fascination with reckless magical experimentation.)
* octaNe (Damn. Friggin' fun as sin, I tell ya. Only one session, but it was fantastic. Hell, Kiss made a special guest appearance. KISS!)
* GURPS Transhuman Space (Started off with GURPS the first session, then moved towards more freeform second session. During said session, the hardcore GURPS head freaked out, literally screamed obscenities at us for "disrespecting the system" and stormed out of the apartment. After that, it was all freeform space horror.)[/list:u]

Anticipated Three

* Nobilis (No one up in this joint is experimental enough to give it a shot.)
* Inspectres (To see if it's all it's cracked up to be.)
* All Flesh Must Be Eaten ('Cause I loves me some zombies.)[/list:u]

All righty, I'm not cheating here.  I'm giving my answers and those of my wife, Cooper.


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

Both of Us:  SagaCraft (our design), DragonQuest 2nd Edition, D&D3E


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

Discluding our biased answer of SagaCraft!

David:  Stormbringer 4th Edition, WEG StarWars 2nd Edition, AD&D2 w/Player's Options

Cooper:  Champions (Fuzion), WEG StarWars 2nd Edition, AD&D2 w/Player's Options


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

Note:  Cooper found this one a little tricky since she doesn't keep up with what's out there.

David:  Sorcerer & Sword (esp. w/Charnel Gods), Tunnels & Trolls, Pendragon

Cooper:  Pendragon, Tribe 8, Changeling (set in the South)


Also, we will never, ever again play D&D3E.  Tried really hard with 3 different campaigns, but just can't stand it.
