Rifts- Best Setting Ever, sadly also Worst Rules Ever.

I've heard that from many a Rifts player. And I might try it if the rules werent a hot mess of confusion. Would you recommend trying it at a con (like GenCon) where people very familiar with said hot mess rules would make it comprehensible to noobs?

Definitely give it a try and see what you think about it.  One of my groups plays it every  couple of weeks and we always have a blast.

Can't believe I forgot what should be #2 Amber Diceless Roleplaying. It was 8 bitchs in a bitchboat to GM, but a blast!

Legend of the Five Rings
 I can't get enough of the rpg, pretty much quit playing the card game though

[Doc-Byte]

Apart from Shadowrun I've played (and loved) Star Wars D6 (guess one might call me a SW fanboy with my >100 novels...) and still play the German DSA (The Dark Eye). Recently I got the chance to be involved with the German Edition of Mongoose Traveller as a translator. And I have the Earth Dawn 3rd books, but never got a chance to play ED although I've been wanting to try it out since the mid-nineties.

Maybe I'll find some time to merge my own space fantasy setting with Open D6, but not in the near future.

I am a big fan of D6 Star Wars as well.  Loved the rules.  They were so easy that you could concentrate on GMing.

I also love d6 SW; unfortunately, I've only played it twice because it's WAY too difficult to get face=to-face games (of anything) going.

Another favorite of mine is Traveller.
Also, I've recently gotten into Battletech; I'd rather play the RPG but the guys I found online for it never showed up for the game day we tried to have a few months ago and there's only one other player at my store, aside from the owner (he wrote for Mechwarrior, but he's also very f--king busy).
GURPS (3E a lot more than 4E), Ars Magica and Harn are all ones that I love the setting of but expect to never play.

Star Wars D6 was my first group's bread and butter!

Oh, so many characters I miss...

I have had that problem so many times now that I quit putting the word out for Battletch... So sad

Has anyone played CthulhuTech (I just came across a physical copy and it intrigued me)?

I played two campaigns of online free-play Star Wars. I was kind of GM'ing it, but for the most part it was free storytelling for everyone. I loved my character. Unfortunately we finished non of them.

I have the books for CthulhuTech.  Never played it though.  It is interesting just kinda depressing.  Would like to see mechs versus the big C.  Probably be a bit like watching a Gozilla movie:-)

[Angelone]

Old World of Darkness (Mage the Ascension ftw!)
The Rifts setting
Forgotten Realms
Ravenloft

[Jhaiisiin]

Setting wise, I've loved Mage (oWoD).  Granted, it's our world but really nuts, but still...  That may be a function of having good GMs though.

I enjoy the hell out of the SR universe.  I'll never give it up.

I like the Paladium/Rifts/Heroes Unlimited setting, but loathe the rules.
The same applies to Synnibar (shut up, I like the setting, damnit.  Ridiculous is fine in my world sometimes)

I love the concept of Core, but I've never had a chance to actually play it.

And of course, for pure craziness, nothing beats Paranoia.

Star Wars D6... The first game I ever ran and continued to run all the way through 2001. Yeah, it was sooooo simple. Set a difficulty number, have them roll...meet or beat it, GREAT! If not, sucks to be you.

I also liked my house rule regarding the "wild die". Roll a six, keep going. Roll a one, GM rolls. 2-5, it was something bad but maybe not horrible. Roll a 6, you succeeded despite yourself. My favorite example (really happened): your blaster shot misses completely, but manages to hit the restraining strap on that cargo container which ends up dumping a stack of power converters on your target and SPLAT!. Roll a one.....REALLY sucks to be you. Favorite example: botched demo roll with a jury rigged thermal detonator.

 

Ahhh good times.
