Tabletop role playing games. - Pinko - 02-23-2012

What are the tabletops RPG you've been playing? Share some experience and stuff!

As for me, well, I'm actually going to have my first live DnD game next friday with my friends. We've studied it, and they all picked me (against my will) as the DM. And they decided to roll with AD&D, to make it all the worst.

There's a billion more tabletop games I'd have loved to try but never got to it, too. To mention a few, Warhammer 40 k, All Flesh Must Be Eaten, and Call of Cthulhu, all are titles which deeply interest me but I have no idea on how to play them.

Play Pathfinder, you'll never go back to other D&D rulesets.:P

I play PF on a regular basis, we're looking at Shadowrun too, but there's a lot of stuff to read from a PDF, and the physical book aint cheap. ._.

Deathwatch is one I've wanted to try, too.

I played shadowrun when growing up - I really really liked it, they nailed that dystopian feeling pretty well and the rules system (back then at least) was deep and complicated, without being too much.

Also I played 40K a lot, but I guess these days unless you like to paint the models and fiddle around with them, you might as well play a similar game on the PC.

Well, i've been playing Tabletop RPG's for years but atm me and two groups play on and off the following:

DnD 4e (We switched from 3.5 to 4e cause of the Storyteller, he really wanted to try the new rules)

WoD: Dark Ages: Gonna start a campaign soon enough that will go trough 4 chapters with each chapter being.. Long as frack..:P

And then we play a little different games from time to time, trying new games all the time like:

Game of Thrones
Pendragon
Star Wars TOR

I always adored the times when I played D&D 2.5 / Forgotten Realms and World of Darkness modules with friends. I haven't played anything tabletop except for Risk for at least 10 years though =D

AD&D is okay, prefer 3.5 though.

Anyway I play Dark heresy (The 40k RPG)

Shadowrun (Cyberpunk near future thing with magic.)

Anything by White Wolf

Big Eyes Small Mouth (the anime RPG)

Call of Cthulhu

And a bunch of others.

D&d 3.5
Vampire (dark ages and masquerade)
Paranoia (Tazzies I recommend this, its absolutely crazy)
Star Wars (d20)
7th sea

And at the club I played all those we were really really fond of:

Blood Bowl
Warhammer Fantasy (still holding the title of National Champion:P)

NOW I know what's wrong with you. You failed your SAN check. :crazy:

Seriously, that is one f'd up game.

And yeah, I played it, too.

Anyway, played D&D before there was such a thing as AD&D - then played AD&D once those cool hardback books came out, instead of the 3 small white books.

StarFleet Battles.
Star Trek the RPG (was one of the beta testers for that)
Played some Twilight 2000 and Top Secret, too.

Babylon 5 Wars.
Federation and Empire.

True tabletop games - used to play Napoleonic War miniatures as well as WWII combat. Think Warhammer with real tanks and such, before Warhammer was even invented.

I used to play AD&D 3.5. I have looked at the 4th edition stuff and frankly it sucks balls. Besides, I really like the artwork in the hardback books and the look/texture of their covers etc. Lot of work has gone into them, which clearly shows.

I did also play Shadowrun a couple of times, and I remember one time I got my hands on a minigun and shot up a mall, and ended up having my character knocked out by my fellow players to prevent a massacre. It was funny though.

Many good titles were listed in this thread, but my horror favorite was missed. 'Kult - Death is only the beginning'. It's a bit rough at the edges, but it's cosmology would make Cthulhu run and weep in a corner.
