Non Shadowrun games I like?

1) Pathfinder
2) Cthulhutech
3) Delta Green
4) TOON
5) Star Wars (d6 & d20)

And I will add my wife is loving Eclipse Phase. If I ever get the books away from her maybe I will too. She played the demo of the at GenCon 09 and was hooked.

It was Earthdawn once. Now? I don't really know.

DnD 4 (never liked the previous DnD-editions, but this one is brilliant)
WoD (both old and new, with the right people, I noticed you can´t play it with happy-go-lucky fantasy-larpers)
Apocalypse World (ah, this game has a lot to teach every gamer, it´s just a whole new way of looking att RPGs, also you should read "Play Unsafe")
Mutant and Coriolis (two swedish games, the first being a post-apocalypse world filled with mutations between animal and man, the second the most beautiful SF-game I´ve ever seen, like a combination of Star Trek and a Marrakesh street market)
and of course Star Wars Saga, great rules. And you get to be a Jedi... *grin*

DND 4th is interesting.  I have absolutely no desire to play it but I understand why they did it.  Anything to get the WoW kids into table top I say.

Hey, freddieflatline, give it a chance! It´s a game that manages to be easy to play and gm, well-balanced between classes, and still so bristlingly full of opportunity to diversify the characters with powers, feats and gear. Only problem is that it´s a little like hockey (every now and then the boxers take a break and go ice-skating for a while), you kind of play two games; one role-playing, one table-top. But at the same time, most role-playing games at least partly focused on combat (like Shadowrun) could benefit from having this kind of system for the fights, it really makes the whole thing easier to picture and agree on.

Rascal, we've had this argument here before.  Several times.  Please just let it die.  For me.   

[imperialus]

Lets see, I'm playing in a B/X D&D (With a smattering of AD&D 1st ed) game right now.

I've also been playing around quite a bit with "Old School Hack" http://www.oldschoolhack.net/.

Hey, whatever game you like, go for it.

Just last week my group got done with a Battletech mini-campaign, Mercs Vs. Pirates. Lots of fun, and more head shots than I've seen in a long time...glad none were on me! Even got my ancient P-Hawk an upgrade. Now, back to Rise of the Rune Lords for Pathfinder.

I agree with you Dead Monky.  Your favorite system or systems are not going to change, so why argue about it.  If you like DnD 4th ed. good on you.  I happen to enjoy Pathfinder.  That is my choice if I am running.  I also like Rifts which may not be some folks cup of tea but who cares.  Enjoy playing the games you like and do not worry about what some other gamer is running.  There end the sermon.

[The_Gun_Nut]

Rifts is great fun.  So long as everyone there accepts the crazy power levels and the fact that the classes aren't balanced against each other (requiring more work from the GM to make sure everyone can contribute) then it is crazy fun.

I only seem to like DnD 4E other than Shadowrun.  Only lore that seems to interest me. 

[Outrider45]

. Now, back to Rise of the Rune Lords for Pathfinder.

I'm running that A.P. for my group and they are liking it alot. They're deep into The Hook Mountain Massacre.  How far along have you gotten and do you like it so far?

[Mystic]

We finished Hook Mountain about six months ago and did a side adventure with new characters before a seven week Battletech game. Details at the moment are a bit fuzzy without notes in hand but I remember one thing: it was brutal. Most of us limped away with single digit hit points, myself included (9 out of 98 before chugging two cure serious). But we got some good swag and some of us PCs have been granted minor titles. We have been playing this from the first ROTRL adventure and haven't stopped...I think that's a good indicator we like it.

 

If you want to know more, drop me a PM. FYI, may take a few days to reply if you do however, so don't feel slighted.
