Quote from: PaladinCA;377245I'd rather schedule a colonoscopie than run it.


That just makes me cringe involuntarily.
"Meh."

I would love to run/play Mongoose's Conan RPG and Green Ronin's True 20.  I am also interested in trying out BASH and the forthcoming Dresden Files RPG.

Quote from: Silverlion;376499Seriously. What do you want to play that you haven't (either because of time, interest, whatever..)

Pirates. Something between Master n Commander and Pirates of the Caribbean. I wouldn't mind some supernatural elements, I just don't want the game to be dominated by them.

True20 and BASH are both fine games- definitely in my top 10.
I have not purchased BASH ultimate yet, because the original edition still completely scratches my supers itch.
True20 is a great rules light generic which can be bent to just about any purpose. I've done straight up fantasy, Science fantasy, space opera, and two fisted-cthulu-lost race/world- Lemurian spaceships hidden beneath the antarctic ice cap- pulp with it, for example.

Metal Earth

Cosmic Tales- Webcomic

Than

I think perhaps pathfinder.

Danger

Dragon Age = a one-sided character sheet, a minimum of "stuff," stunts and a simple mechanic (not to mention that it feels, to me, in some ways like Wharhammer in its representation of magic) look very interesting at the moment.

A mix of Paizo's Kingmaker series coupled with the DA rules would be a nifty fit, I think.
I start from his boots and work my way up. It takes a good half a roll to encompass his jolly round belly alone. Soon, Father Christmas is completely wrapped in clingfilm. It is not quite so good as wrapping Roy but it is enjoyable nonetheless and is certainly a feather in my cap.

Thanks for the feedback. (And thanks to jeff37923 and Benoist for the welcome!) I am looking at using True20 for a science fiction game.  

As for a BASH, I have read some very good things about it.

Pseudoephedrine

MRQ2 (more than just the sample combats I've run)
Burning Empires
More WFRP 2e

That's pretty much it right now. In the past year and a half, I've been making a big push to get a lot of short campaigns of games I'd really like to try that've scratched my itch.
Running
The Pernicious Light, or The Wreckers of Sword Island;
A Goblin\'s Progress, or Of Cannons and Canons;
An Oration on the Dignity of Tash, or On the Elves and Their Lies
All for S&W Complete
Playing: Dark Heresy, WFRP 2e

Insufficient Metal

With my group... I'd like to play anything but D&D. But it's never going to happen.

This sucks.

Why won't they play anything else?

There's only one other person besides myself who's willing to GM, and lately it seems he believes that traditional heroic fantasy with elves & dwarves is the be-all and end-all of all roleplaying ever. There were brief rumblings of some Shadowrun, but that never materialized.

I've run a lot of different systems and settings, and everyone plays and enjoys them, but when it comes to playing myself, it's kind of D&D or nothing. Which, I will agree, sucks.
