When I was younger, so much younger than today ...

I've played Aftermath (2 sessions, I think), The Morrow Project (1 session, didn't even make it character gen) and Fantasy Wargaming (a whopping 4 sessions, ISTR).
More recently I ran a campaign of Deathwatch. Not necessarily bad, but I was fighting against the system, not with it!
And does Nephilim count? The game system is fine, but what do you actually DO in it? What does a campaign look like?

I used to play Phoenix Command.

D&D (choose edition)

Well... I did join a Shadowrun Campaign after being politely asked to join the group many moons ago. I loath Shadowrun...  So it went as expected. It was extremely pedestrian with a 1 dimensional GM. I was forced to play a troll called 'Lunchbox' who loved to cook. I shit you not...

Needless to say, I left after the 2nd session hating Shadowrun even more then I did previously.

Kudos on lasting that long. If I don't like a game, I immediately pack my stuff and walk out.

Nice thread bump...I JUST got a new copy of Fantasy Wargaming in the mail today and am tempted to run it for no other reason than "why the fuck not". Definitely seems like a machismo factor, as the last time I read the rules it seemed like way too much work for what is essentially historical D&D. Lion & Dragon is infinitely more clear.

In the past, I attempted a lot of the games listed...FATAL, Aria (seriously love this game, can't make heads or tails of it), Cyborg Commando. Nobilis is impossible to play (is this even a game?), but I gave it a shot. A couple people mentioned C&S, which I played and ran over the years (and a top 3 game for me).

Has anyone tried to play/run Chuubo's Marvelous Wish Granting Engine? I read some of the rules and, once again, couldn't figure this out. I am starting to think Jenna Moran is a very clever troll.

Wow, so edgy.

Quote from: LouGoncey;1015999We actually played AFTERMATH but I broke laughing after reading the character generation of SPACE OPERA.

I played Aftermath in PbP. Don't know if it counts, because I never saw the actual rulebook. The GM helped me through chargen and took care of the mechanics...

Hey, I've done that, too;)!

Quote from: Krimson;1046877I used to play Phoenix Command.

And that one:D!
I remember it's actually quite the decent game when you're in the mood to track parts of the second.

Our GM had all the important tables in clear page inserts in a binder with color coded dividers, so he could run it pretty quick.

We played 2 sessions of FATAL once, totalling about 4 hours. Mind you, most of the "playtime" was spent making fun of the setting and the rulebook, while everyone slowly got drunk.


Apart from that, a friend of mine eventually wore me down and integrated me into a group playing Vampire: The Masquerade. Now I'm not saying the game or setting is bad, I just personally have only bad experiences with it, and consider it "Crawling in my Skin: These wounds will not heal"-the RPG.

So the rest of the party was very familiar with the setting and mechanics, and basically went right into full on opera mode. I think I played some lowbie tagalong, and very much felt like a background actor compared to everybody else. Just couldn't get into it at all, with the only cool parts being some of the powers I got to use. Think I couldve gotten into it more, with a group that took it a little slower.

I once ran a short Traveller: New Era campaign with all of the vehicles, guns and other sundry equipment created using the methods in Fire, Fusion, Steel.

Yes, Powers & Perils.

Quote from: Nerzenjäger;1047002Yes, Powers & Perils.

Every single time I open my copy, I just KNOW there's a good game somewhere, waiting to get out...have you seen the "new" second edition? It's free, if anyone is interested.

I love my big white Nobilis book but I've always suspected it's more for reading than playing.
Not being edgy, so many better games out there I've no idea why people go back to it in any iteration other than nostalgia.

Does it still have the skill "Eroticist"?  *click your kindly posted link*

Wow.

And I quote from p43

QuoteThe slave Aisan is an EL11 Eroticist. Her massages increase StB and CB by 3 for healing. Without the proper balms and oils, her arts increase both by 1.

Well, there's one way to guarentee a happy ending to your adventure.

Now, why an Asian woman in the example, I wonder.:rolleyes:

Oh, I can't wait for the SJWs to notice this one.:eek:

LOL

I vehemently disagree. There's no nostalgia, some of us just prefer the older games.
