Role-Playing Games

O.K. Playing a Role-Playing Game the other night for the first time in awhile made me start thinking about gaming. And recently, I began purchasing/downloading game books on the internet.

I have a large collection of Dungeons & Dragons, Alternity, True20, and Classic Traveller gaming material. And this has prompted me to think about what games I would like to play.

First...I never really got to give True 20 a fair chance. It seemed like a great game system. And now I've found their resource materials for playing True20 Fantasy, in a variety of historical eras, even. But the True20 game I really want to DM or play...is one called Sidewinders...which is basically Old Wild West Gaming. Man, I miss Boot Hill!

Second, Alternity is kick-ass. Wizards was stupid to stop promoting and making materials for that game. The dice dynamic was amazing...and puts d20 to complete shame. Complete shame. So, I'd love to play Alternity again...expecially something in sort of a Bladerunner setting...something cyberpunk like that.

Third, I really miss Traveller. Simple rules...trying to make a buck in space...huge over the top combat scenes (at least that's how we played it!)...and you have a game that was perfect when we were 14 or 15. Looking over the old Classic Traveller materials has made me hungry to dust off this old game and put together a one-shot or two-part Traveller game.

So, what games are you hungry to play? What games do you miss? What games would you kill to play again soon? Go over to Lords of RPG and post the game you'd like to play on our Message Board.
