I mostly played GURPS (with all sorts of settings) and Shadowrun. Cyberpunk, oh yes!And I GM:d Pendragon quite a bit, and was coerced into playing some Vampire. D&D too, but not that much. I was a late bloomer.

I really like the GURPS game system. I haven't had much opprotunity to play in it but I did do quite a bit of adventure design with it.
I still tend to describe stuff in GURPS terms. Like "that has got to be at least a ten point disadvantage!"Originally Posted by DesertDan
Oh, and I forgot - I know a guy who is completely into miniature painting and used to compete in it. He won the European championship at one point, I think. I had no idea it was something you could compete in but apparently it was dead serious. They should have had that at the Olympics!

I remember Pendragon! Yeah... And Runequest.... I first discovered the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a RPG... Runequest, Call of Cthulu, Warhammer Fantasy Role Play, Dragon Warriors, Tunnels and Trolls, Toon.... Happy memories.
If in doubt - overdress.

Even though I was never heavily into role-playing games, the one I did like was the steampunk-themed Space 1889.

Hi, my name is Justin and I'm also a gamer. I've played almost every RPG system there is up to and including Amber (shudder). I worked for a Games Workshop store as their in-house painter and game instructor. I'm currently playing Axis & Allies miniatures and War at Sea. Just finished building a 4'x8' table for it as well.

Call of Cthulu, I played once or twice. It was all down to what you could get someone to GM. For a while it was all White Wolf. Werewolf, Vampire, Changeling, Mummy... Never really caught on with me for some reason.
I made a whole module/fantasy world for GURPS as an exercise when I studied history and history of religion. I never played it myself but my then bf GM:d it quite a lot. It was a lot of fun making - if I didn't write hist fic, I'd so go for fantasy. Or, I dunno, something-punk. Steampunk, dieselpunk or something. Like cyberpunk with better clothes and less computers.
One day, possibly.

Ha, I still have the 'Toon rulebook.
D&D, Gamma World, Traveller, all the Steve Jackson games. Even when I quit playing I would buy gamebooks that interested me and study their gameplay/character gen systems, still do to some extent. Have whole boxes full of them.
I'd probably enjoy being a game designer but with computer and console games being all the rage, I don't think there is the market for it anymore.
