A couple of bloggers are posting about games they'd like to play (not running the games, but playing in them). I thought I'd make a quick list myself.
Roleplaying Games:
Hârnmaster
Traveller
Stars Without Number
Gamma World
Transhuman Space
A GURPS-based fantasy game that uses the Path/Book system of magic
RuneQuest (3rd edition)
Space 1889
2300AD
Swordbearer
Flashing Blades
Bushido
Chivalry & Sorcery (1st or 2nd edition)
Land of the Rising Sun
Celtic Legends
any D&D or retroclone, except for 3.X, 4E, Pathfinder, or partial clones like C&C (I don't consider S&W, LotFPWFRPG, or the like to be "partial" for this purpose)
Dragonquest
The Arcanum
Wargames:
Starfleet Battles
Federation & Empire
Sky Galleons of Mars
A Starfire campaign
Dark Emperor
Starship Troopers (the old Avalon Hill version)
Battle Rider (starship combat boardgame for Traveller: The New Era, possibly with Trillion Credit Squadron as a campaign system)
Godsfire
Magic Realm
Miniatures:
Hordes Of The Things
WRG Ancients and Medieval
Warhammer 40K
Star Wars Miniatures Battles
A fine list. Here's my own:
ReplyDelete1. WEG Star Wars
2. Traveller (classic or 2300)
3. An old school sandbox game (rule system is almost beside the point)
4. first edition Vampire
5. Gamma World
6. Risus (I never, ever get to play... only run)
7. some kind of weird west game
8. Castle Falkenstein
9. ICONS or Truth & Justice
Those are some excellent choices. #3, especially, is a point well-taken.
