Darque Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 What is your RPG system of choice these days? I'm currently in the middle of the Unisystem (Witchcraft, Buffy, All Flesh Must be Eaten, Armageddon) How about the rest of you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosbjerg Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 The Stoytelling System, as I'm writing a big campaing for 4 friends these days. I find it's the easiest system for relatively new players to learn, while at the same time taking a longer time before you can powerplay it. Or the D&D 3.5 rule system - it's versatile and tested, meaning you can play a very wide variaty of settings in it. It has a big drawback imo though - as it's very thourough rules tend to make players less innovative in their roleplaying - and more focused on rules and stats. Fortune favors the bald.

Spider Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 My playgroup is using the storytelling system almost exclusively. It suits our style of playing almost flawlessly (although we do have some issues with how healing works in the latest iteration, but that is rarely an issue). We even use it for other setting than the ones WW produce. It's flexible enough to work in pretty much any setting as long as you change some of the skills.

dodger Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 At the moment, my group is playing a lot of Dogs in the Vineyard. It's an amazing system for anyone who likes the narrativist style of play. Recently, we've been playing a lot of those and most of our group really likes them. We've also played Primetime Adventures and My Life With Master, which are in a similar vein, but much more focused. I highly recommend both. ~ Mike Stout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantousent Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 When we actually play, we play DnD 3.5. I wish I could get a local group going, but it's not in the cards, I'm afraid. All my players live in various area across the country. I'd also like to get a good Paranoia campaign going, but that's even harder with the folks in my circle.

Volourn Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Sadly, haven't played pnp in awhile. D&D would likely still be tops; but play as many different ones as possible. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantousent Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 See, that's my problem, Vol. I don't play anything. I used to run a campaign between Las Vegas and Loma Linda. I'm just plain not willing to invest the time to travel to play. It would be fun if we were all within 15-20 miles of one another. As far as my favorite system, I'd have to say the only reason we play DnD is because it's familiar and we've all been playing it for years. Something close to three decades for me. As far as the most intriguing system and one I would love to play more often (at all really, at this point) is Call of Cthulu. Tons of fun, but it requires real PnP gamers. The reason I cited Paranoia is that it's a great beer and pretzels game that even a novice can enjoy. The game isn't meant to be hardcore. It's meant to be goofy and funny. If you're experienced, you can make the game fun for just about anybody.

Volourn Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 (edited) "As far as my favorite system, I'd have to say the only reason we play DnD is because it's familiar and we've all been playing it for years." Do you mena 'we' as in us or 'we' as in your group? If the former, I take offense (well, a smuch as offense as I take anything); because I play D&D because I like, and I'm familiar with it because I like it and decide to play it a lot. Much like I play basketabll a lot and therefore more familiar to it becuase I like it; not the other way round. P.S. If it's the latter, I ranted for nothing. R00fles!

Cantousent Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 You ranted for nothing. haha Anyhow, I'm sorry that you're losing your players to South Korea, Spider. Great folks, the South Koreans, so maybe your friends will be able to get a group going. :Cant's ****-eating grin icon: Fionavar's Holliday Wishes to all members of our online community: Happy Holidays Join the revelry at the Obsidian Plays channel:Obsidian Plays Remembering tarna, Phosphor, Metadigital, and Visceris.

Spider Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I'm sure they can. Truth be told, it'll probably be harder for us to find replacements. We're kinda picky. At least it's only for three years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 My group isn't so picky. We have people join, then people leave, then more people join, then more people leave. Of the original gaming group I had back when I first came to Ames only myself and one other have consistantly been in the group. I have only had to thrown out one person the entire time, and it was a group concensus.
