[mayapuppies]

I know, I know, this has been done before but I bring categories!

Point Buy System: HERO System
Level/Class System: Rolemaster
Tabletop Strategy: D&D 4e (used to be Warhammer)

[Nolgroth]

Yes. Though I tend toward category 1 and Hero in particular.

Oh specifics? :)

Actually play/have played.

Point Buy: HERO System, Shadowrun, Fuzion, Top Secret S/I (which might also fall under Level/Class)


Level/Class: Robotech and (briefly) MERPS. If editions of
D&D prior to 3 count, then place those here.

Tabletop Strategy: Heroscape, Warhammer 40k (briefly) D&D Miniatures game (briefly)

Would Like to Play

Point Buy: HERO 6th Edition.


Level/Class: Nothing.


Tabletop Strategy: D&D 4th Edition. I'd at least like to take a look.

Point Buy System: HERO System
Level/Class System: Huh? What is this Level/Class thing you speak of??:ugly:
Tabletop Strategy: Grand Fleets (MJ12), Seekrieg, Saganami Island Tactical Simulator (SITS)(Ad Astra), Starmada (MJ12).

:king:

[Curufea]

You need a category "other" as well :)

Amber isn't point buy - it's bidding and rank.
FUDGE can be point buy, but equally it can be "choose 4 good, 2 really good, and 1 spectacular skill and 2 flaws" or similar, which doesn't involve points.
Dogs in the Vineyard is similar as is Prime Time Adventures
My Life with Master is point distribution rather than buy.
Cyberpunk is similar, but with classes as well. It just doesn't have levels.

Anyhow, I'm currently in a modified D&D, a Cyberpunk and a Metascape 2 campaign.
I've actually played quite a lot.
I'd like to play things I've not yet played. Partially because I'm interested in game theory.

[Lord Mhoram]

I only play two:
Hero
D&D 4th (or will be shortly)

Hero for group play (every Thursday). Dominated by Champs games, but not exclusively - I run an FH game, and we have had some other stuff in the past.

In solo gaming with the wife, we do Hero, but we have also done a lot of D&D. I am really enthused about D&D 4th, and the wife is planning to GM me there.

[mayapuppies]

D&D 4e as an RPG? That's crazy talk. :ugly:

;)

[Curufea]

D&D 4e as an RPG? That's crazy talk. :ugly:

;)

Hey - I've played D&D and D20 as an RPG, it's very similar and not that difficult a conversion to do :)

[Lord Fyre]

Point Buy System: HERO System (& sometimes nWoD)
Level/Class System: Pathfinder RPG.
Tabletop Strategy: none

[Lord Mhoram]

D&D 4e as an RPG? That's crazy talk. :ugly:

;)


Actually I get a strong OD&D/1st ed vibe from it. :)

[Lord Mhoram]

Level/Class System: Pathfinder RPG.


That one looks really cool. :)

[Maur]

Actively playing: HERO 5th (3 times every 2 weeks), Shadowrun (1st Sundays), D&D (every 6 months or so at open gaming days)

Read/Collect: Savage Worlds (Deadlands and Sundered Skies so far), GURPS 4th, Star Wars D6 (no other version exits...).

[jtelson]

Point Buy: World of Darkness, Hero
Level/Class System: D&D, Rolemaster
Tabletop Strategy: Champions
Other (Rare): Mythus, Fudge

Have played many many other games but these are the big/most common for my group

[Lord Mhoram]

Other (Rare): Mythus


Hey someone else that actually plays/has played it. :)

[Pariah]

I play only HERO. I've played HERO for something like a quarter of a century now. Sure, I started on D&D. (Who didn't?) But now I'm exclusively a HERO guy, because that's what I like best, and that's what my group plays. I have neither the time, the resources ($$$), nor the interest in finding another gaming group to learn anything else.

[jtelson]

Hey someone else that actually plays/has played it. :)

I even enjoyed it, once you get past the jargon the system is interesting if not adaptable.

[Savinien]

You're going to have to add Pathfinder to your list now, mayapuppies.

[mayapuppies]

nono, not yet. One trial game does not constitute "what I play". :sneaky:

I hear that. I wouldn't play D&D in a group, I play solo, the wife GMing me. :)

And yeah I love the fact that everyone in our group has been a dedicated HERO player for at least 20 years... You started with 2nd or 3rd as I recall. Three others started with First Edition, I started with third, and one started with 4th, but he is huge into system analysis and system mastery, so he understands the system as good or perhaps better than anyone in the group (myself excluded :) ).


Edit-
There is something else too. I love learning crunch system, and tinkering with them and building characters and ideas with them (3rd edition D&D was a dream for me). And to be honest, I've mastered the mechanical aspects of HERO. There aren't any new frontiers for me there. D&D 4th gives me a new system toy to play with. I spend more time reading rules and building things and tinkering outside of game, than I do inside.... and I may have more fun with it some of the time.

Yes. That game was pure Gygaxian goodness. :)

[Edsel]

I only play every other Saturday and when we play it is always some version of Hero System (Fantasy Hero, Dark Champions and Star Hero being most common). However there are other games that I have played and enjoyed so here are my "votes."

Point Buy System: HERO System
Level/Class System: Slayers d20 (the magic system is nice)
Tabletop Strategy: World War II microarmor, 15mm ACW or 25mm British Colonials.
Boardgames: Arkham Horror

[Sketchpad]

Actually I get a strong OD&D/1st ed vibe from it. :)

I agree whole-heartedly :)

Point Buy System: HERO System, Mutants & Masterminds
Level/Class System: 4e D&D/d20/Pathfinder, True20
Tabletop Strategy: Hero System, 4e D&D
Reading Games: BESM, GURPS, HEX ... almost anything that I can get my hands on :)
Boardgames: Talisman, Last Night on Earth

[Lord Mhoram]

I guess I should categorize:

Point : Hero
Level: D&D 4th / Pathfinder-D20-modified.
Tabletop strategy/War games: None
Board Games: None
Card Games: None

I pretty much don't play any kind of games with other people in which there is a winner and a loser. I don't play Video games against other people, although I do co-operative types stuff (Champions of Norrath, Golden Axe, Rock Band).

I'm usually not that good at those games, and I really take no joy of winning, and I really feel worthless when I lose. So I just stick to RPGs. :)

Slayers d20....amplify please :D

World War II microarmor, 15mm ACW or 25mm British Colonials: excellent choices :thumbup:

Arkham Horror: I always wanted to try it, looks fun...

[Curufea]

Board Games: None
Card Games: None


I recommend some co-operative board and card games then :)

Arkham horror, Betrayal at House on the Hill (although one player does turn adversarial), Shadows over Camelot.

Actually, just do a search of BGG for co-operative play games (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/browser.php?itemtype=game&sortby=mechanic&mechid=23&mechname=Co-operative+Play).

Speaking of which, Lord and Lady Mhoram kick serious tail at Rock Band. They had us over on Saturday, and it was a blast.

(I still can't believe you got 100% on Limelight, though. :confused: )

I was amazed myself. First time I got 100% on the game. :)

Thanks. I'll take a look. :)
I just have to find games that are 2 player.... It's usually just me and the wife. :)

[Edsel]

Slayers d20....amplify please :D
Fantasy RPG setting based on the anime The Slayers. Lina Inverse and company. Very (outrageously) powerful magic, pure swords and sorcery laced with a good dose of humor. Here is a review on RPGnet. (http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/10/10275.phtml)

It was produced by Guardians of Order (RIP) but you can still buy the PDF at the DriveThruRPG website.

[Thag13]

Tabletop Strategy: Warhammer 40K (for like...a minute), Warmachine (which I like better)

[zornwil]

I'm still very much into Dogs in the Vineyard, though I pretty much nearly-exclusively run alternate settings of it (Office Dogs, Les Chiens de la Terreur (The Dogs of the Terror, a French Reign of Terror "that never was"), etc.), and the action-adventure variant that a friend and I have developed.

I'm quite taken with Don't Rest Your Head though I've only played 2 games, both at a small con a couple/three weekends ago. I had the rulebook for a bit before that, though. Now I'm designing some extensions/revisions/personalizations to the setting, incorporating more of a fairy tale feel with the nightmare feel. I love the conflict resolution system of the game, with the 2 poles of success and "tone", where the former is the traditional "who wins" resolution but the latter is, regardless of that, whether discipline, madness, exhaustion, or pain dominates.

I've really taken to Primetime Adventures in general and am glad to run a game for anyone these days.

[Ian Mackinder]

Currently in campaigns for Pulp Hero, 7th Sea (GM), Fading Suns & BESM. All of which qualify (I think) as 'Point Buy Systems.

Also in Cyberpunk 2020. I am guessing that more or less qualifies as Level / Class.

Siometimes play 'Descent'. Obsessively play various 18xx games as oppurtunity presents. Other games as well, but the above are currently the biggies. That counrs as Tabletop Strategy.

[mirage]

Currently Play:
Point Buy System: HERO System: Champions
Level/Class System: None

Want to Play

Oops, played Cyberpunk and Star Wars too.

Played Toon at a convention once. It was a Tick game and I got to play the Tick. SPOOOOON!!!!

[steamteck]

I play HERO pretty much exclusively with adults
With my 11 year old son and 13 year old daughter I play HERO, The fantasy Trip and Heroscape ( all point buy stuff)
