So what other games do BRP fans play ?

[Shaira]

High Fantasy! I remember that! That had the front cover with the guy with the most unrealistic thighs I'd ever seen... Wasn't there a scenario called Fortress Ellendar also?

Actually, if I remember rightly, High Fantasy had quite a neat combat mechanic which I think sort of cropped up later in The Compleat Arduin, but a rather ungranular experience system which bugged me a bit.

Blimey... this is turning into a major nostalgia trip!

Yep - and I only recently discovered the existence of the other supplement (Moorguard), and the fact that there was a second edition apparently...

There was a big complicated table one cross indexed the attacker and defenders abilities IIRC... but that's about all I can remember.

I recall two High Fanatasy books.

I had what I think was the first edition was 8 1/2 by 11 nad had a really bad (even for the day) cover painting, and was around 50-60 pages if I recall right.

The (I think second) was a 6 x 9 book but considerably thicker in page count.

Other games I play right now:

Candyland
Chutes and Ladders
Disney DVD Bingo

(what can I say, I have small children)...

I recently played Candyland with a friend's 4 year old daughter. Strange thing was, while I, the adult, was trying to let the child win, the child, having learned from the adults, was trying to let me win.

Think it would be faster to list ones I have not tried over the last 30 years.
At present playing Cowboys and dinosaurs with my 5 year old son( Rules. Build Cabin and tower with toy logs, stock it with cowboy figures and then knock down with plastic dinosaurs.)
I also been playing online games with my 2 older kids, Swords of the New World and Endless online . as Kids like them and cannot beat the price. Free so that makes wife happy.
I'm also play in a Call of Cthullu game set in the 22 century when time permits and play Hearts of Iron II on the computer on my days off'.
I am planning on starting a RQ game come january when my schedule at work changes.

I own both editions (which says _way_ too much about how many games I used to buy...)

Holographic Call of Cthulhu?

[punc_e]

I GM Call of Cthulhu.

I play a weekly game of D&D 3.5 run by my roommate.

I've played one-shots of Savage Worlds (Necessary Evil), Paranoia, Star Frontiers (and considering running a few games of it), and a homebrew D100 game based on Flash Gordon/Barsoom called Amazing Space Adventures.

In the future I'll be running:
The Savage World of Solomon Kane
Star Wars d20
Star Frontiers
Kobolds Ate My Baby
possibly a few scattered one-shots of D&D 3.5

[fmitchell]

Leaving aside the stuff I played yonks and yonks ago, I've played Midnight (d20), a homebrew BRP derivative, Truth & Justice (one-shot), Call of Cthulhu (one-shot), and (currently) Spirit of the Century.

I haven't GMed in a while, except for a one-shot using PDQ, but I'd like to run some unspecified game based on BRP, FATE 3.0, or GURPS 4e. Mythic Russia sounds tempting; so does Tales of the Caliphate Nights, although maybe I'd transpose it to FATE or BRP.

Stuff I'd like to play or GM once, just to say I've done it: Savage Worlds, new World of Darkness, True20, Primetime Adventures, Burning Wheel, Zorceror of Zo, and a bunch of indie games.
