Well, I know a couple of you here have dabbled with the D20s, and I was just wondering, in what context?

Some of you I know have played D+D, AD+D and suchlike, as have I.

I've played others like D20 Future, Star Wars D6, Sci-fi verse D6 and even i think i played an Angel D20 once, but changed it to more of a zombie fest than a vampirefest.

This last weekend, I was invited to take part in a CyberPunk game, played with D10s and D6s.

Pretty fun actually, new GM, a guy i'd never thought would GM, but he was brilliant at adaptation and i'm gonna go back for another game with a larger group in a couple of weeks time.

My friend is currently working on creating a game to fill the 18 year gap between 'Revenge of the Sith' and 'A New Hope' which we might give a test run to and see if can get it written up properly and sent in for publishing.

So yeah, what dice games other than the standard Dungeons and Dragons have any of you played?

Do you still or was it a passing phase?

aaand, a topic which was of much discussion for a few of us,

What series/verse would you love to be seen made into a game?

I play on rare occasion. Shadowrun is my game of choice.

I used to play a fair bit back in the day, but stopped...Haven't really though of getting back into it since the only people i see out here playing it and snot nosed geeks...most of which i can't stand...

the games i have played or well worlds I have played in are AD&D, Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, Marvel Super Heroes, Toon, and teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...

I've tried those, and Star Frontiers as well. There was also a Star Trek based game but it was more mathematics then I was willing to work with at the time.

D&D was my first back in '73

Call Of Cthulhu, Shadowrun, Mechwarrior by FASA, Vampire, GURPS, are a few I have played/run. I am almost always the GM due to my excellent ability to pull rabbits out of my ass.

Right now I am GM'ing GURPS Supers and playing a Cleric in good old D&D

Supers is an excellent game but the combat is alittle bit cumbersome. Sometimes a simple fight can last 8+ hours

Christ I forgot about that travesty of a game(Marvel Super Heroes )!!

I have the original TMNT RPG Rulesbook It is sitting in my closet.... I should pull it out and look at the rules... its been a long time since I played it

If you were here you could play with Tiggs and our group

We have one slacker who only makes it half the time... lol.... need one more person to really make a cohesive group....

it would be great to be able to join the group bro...I'd probably have to sit in one session to become familiar with the way you guys play the games. I didn't mind the Marvel Super Heroes game back in the day, though it did get tedious at times. I think i still have the original rule book for that one as well as the original one for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...I'm kind of surprised I am the only one so far that has ever played Toon. if you ever get the chance I'd say give it try, theres nothing like playing a cartoon character to get out your frustrations. lmao

Wow, i'm quite surprised about a TMNT game. Marvel superheroes would be a fun one, though i'm sure with my group it'd end up getting pulled over into DC universe rather than marvel. a JLA style game would be a laugh.

Shadowrun really intrigues me and i think i might look for a book in that.

there are so many games and such that i've never heard of and some of them i'd love to play.

What's toon about?

Toon is a game that is based off of Looney Toons...Doesn't use the characters from it, but it is that premise it is based on from what I remember of it...

TOON: The Cartoon Roleplaying Game

Toon & - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

take a look for yourself

Shadowrun is awesome because the world they've created for it is so detailed, and the characters are so badass, if you have the time pick up some of the ancient-ass novels, some of em are garbage but a several of them are really fucking good.

I have read a couple of the novels for Shadowrun and enjoyed the couple I read. Did yu notice they have re released them?

I've played Toon, but its been years...I might still have the game entombed in a box in the basement somewhere.

I'm mainly a D&D guy, though that may change in the future, with the 4th edition of the game rapidly approaching. I haven't seen any changes that are making me excited for the new version, or willing to shell out the huge wads of cash it'll take to get the books.

As for other games I own/play: Shadowrun, Cyberpunk, Gamma World, Rifts, TMNT, Palladium RPG, among others...

You're all a bunch of nerds. I shall strike you down with my bastard hammer of tainting.

oh and Dy. i probably could join, but that would mean I would have to call you from my house and do it all over either a speaker system or speaker phone lmao...The only issue is you guys would have to take my word on what i rolled and all the states my character has. lmao...not like i can really see that happening to much and well it wouldn't cost me a dime to do it with my skype account. again, i can't really see that happening. it would be the strangest way to play an RPG i have ever heard of.

haha, i've played a game with someone on speakerphone before. one of the people couldnt make it away from their house, and one guy had a set of speakers for his mobile, so this girl called him and she played her part over the phone and her partner rolled for her.

*squints*

Are you sure that's not a lucerne hammer you're toting?

I've got a former player that moved over to the Seattle area. He found a new gaming group and they had another guy who had moved out of town. He had an unlimited long distance plan, so he called in to game on the weekend.

They hooked the phone up to a Teddy Ruxpin doll, so that when he talked, the bear's mouth moved.

Talk about creepy...

woah, that is creepy.
