Oh, yes! I've only read a little of the material, but it seems like a most interesting setting.

I currently GM "Call of Cthulhu".

In the past I've either played or GM'd:
Red Box D&D
Doctor Who
Champions
AD&D 1st Ed.
Star Wars
Traveller
Shadowrun
D20 D&D 3.5

Of those I played "Champions" and "AD&D 1st Ed." the most. Still the current CoC campaign I'm running has lasted longer, and potentially for more sessions that both of those combined. Of the settings I've played in the past, I'd be interested in running either Traveller or Doctor Who using BRP.

Miniature Games:
Warhammer 40k
Epic 40k/Space Marine
Man O'War

With two of those Miniature games, it probably shouldn't be a surprise that I'm interested in the new WH40k RPG that will be coming out in 2008.

Besides BRP-based games I gamemaster:

D&D 3.5
Star Wars (D20)
Mongoose RuneQuest (pretty much BRP, though not as good)

I wish I got to actually play these and many other games but I can't find anyone to GM, which irks me to no end. However, I've recently given up on D&D...I'm so tired of the cumbersome system and I doubt a 4th edition will solve those problems and I don't feel like shucking out another $90.

I'll continue running Star Wars off and on since its Star Wars...I just wish it wasn't D20...I'm not a huge fan of the D6 system. Perhaps a BRP conversion will be in order after the release of the new book?

In the past three years since I started writing BRP, I've run a lot of BRP, as well as all of these (and a few others I've forgotten):

A Game of Thrones (d20 and Tri-Stat versions)
Army of Darkness
Battlestar Galactica
Boot Hill
Cold City
Conan
(using BRP)
Dogs in the Vineyard
Farscape
(d20 game)
Hellboy (using BRP)
Lost Souls
Normal, TX
Serenity
Spirit of the Century
Star Wars Saga Edition
(d20 version)
Usagi Yojimbo (Fuzion system)
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (2nd edition)

... and this weekend I'm putting together an impromptu BRP Rome game, using Pete Nash's Pax Romana rules as well as Green Ronin's Eternal Rome sourcebook.

Oh, and with that list of games you list as having played you're dating yourself! Some of those I haven't seen in years (OK, I confess most I own).

I've been in the hobby, well, a long, long time, so I've ran or played under more systems than I could probably remember. Just sticking to ones of recent vintage:
Mutants and Masterminds
D&D 3e
Alternity
Hero
Aberrant
BESM
Unisystem

Of the next campaign we're looking at, I'll probably be either using some version of BRP, JAGS, Alternity or possibly True20.

I know - it's awful, isn't it? I've been gaming for far, far too long, and intend to continue in the same vein!

It is funny how the games do date you though - I know so little about games like Exalted, BESM (in fact I find the entire concept of BESM a bit creepy - I lived in Japan for quite some time, and still can't help harbouring a certain image about manga...). But I must admit - mention of The Fantasy Trip & Bunnies & Burrows does probably make me an incredible RPG crumbly!

Oh - and I'm still looking for a copy of the old C&S campaign setting "Arden", if anyone ever comes across one ;-)

Don't get me started... "in my day..."

Anything that is fairly simple mechanics wise, is roll under, and is not dice pool.
