The Big List of Games Played and Games Left on the Shelves

-
I had a nice chat with Barking Alien last night about games we own that we haven't played.  BA plays pretty much every thing he has ever owned, while on the other hand I own a gazillion games but have only played a handful of them.  That got me thinking about trying to come with a doubtlessly incomplete list of what I've played and not played.  Here's the list.



Played or Run more than Once
  • D&D (all iterations, including retro-clones) 
  • Cyberpunk (multiple editions) 
  • Champions (multiple editions) 
  • Vampire, the Masquerade 
  • Star Wars (West End Games) 
  • Star Trek (FASA) 
  • EOW's mash of Traveller, Star Trek, and Morrow Project 
  • Marvel Heroic Roleplaying 
  • Marvel RPG, SAGA Edition 

Games I've played in but haven't run
  • Robotech 
  • Toon 
One Night Stands (games run or played only for one session)
  • Call of Chthulu 
  • Rifts 
  • Shadowrun 
  • FATE 
  • 13th Age 
  • Ingenium 
Games I own but have never played
  • The Palladium Games 
  • Beyond the Supernatural 
  • TMNT 
  • Ninjas and Superspies 
  • Heroes Unlimited 

The "licensed games of things I like"
  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer 
  • Angel 
  • Leverage 
  • Primeval 
  • Serenity 
  • Star Wars (d20 and SAGA editions, and Edge of Empire) 
  • Babylon 5 
  • Hercules and Xena 

Fantasy Heartbreakers
  • Dungeon World 
  • Dragon Warriors 
  • HackMaster 
  • Rolemaster 
  • Middle Earth RPG
  • Sovereign Stone
  • World of Warcraft 
  • Blade Raiders

Japanese Anime RPG's
  • Mekton 
  • Jovian Chronicles 
  • Big Eyes, Small Mouth 
  • Demon City Shinjuku 
  • Dominion Tank Police 

Horror Games
  • Chill 
  • The Whispering Vault 

Traveller
Alternity
Aether


This is interesting--I'll have to think about this, even from a "understanding my own history" theory.

 I decided to get my own domain name: strangevistas.org and have been posting there for over a year.  When Adam at Barking Alien mentioned that he wanted me to start blogging again, I realized that he might not know, and that likely others didn't as well. So, now you do.  See you soon!

RPG Review: Far Trek

So, as I mentioned recently, I've got a lot of sentimentality for Star Trek RPG's, and Star Trek in general.  Three actual honest-to-God licensed ones exist in history: FASA's, Last Unicorn Games, and Decipher's.  I own the first two and have heard mixed things about the third. But there are also a lot of non-licensed Star Trek RPG's out there, and recently I saw that one of them, Far Trek , was offering a hard copy for a couple of bucks on Lulu.  Never one to let a deal go by I picked it up and thought I'd give you, gentle readers, my thoughts. Far Trek is a light-hearted, even breezy take on the Star Trek universe, almost exclusively the original series.  There rules incorporate stats, skills, and talents.  There are four stats: Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Charisma, with the stats ranging from about a -2 to a +2, reflecting their modifier on the die roll.  I actually like this mechanic, which I first encountered in True20.  It does...

For my birthday I picked up a print copy of Heroes Against Darkness  by Justin Halliday .  Why, might you ask, would I spent hard currency on a book that is offered as a .pdf for free? First, I like real books.  I read them better, and can do so in places other than in front of a computer monitor. Second, it's worth it.  Beats me if Halliday makes any money off the sale or not, but I hope he did, because offering this game for free was a very generous gift to the gaming world. Heroes Against Darkness is worth owning. (At least if you are me.  Your mileage may vary.) Heroes Against Darkness  is, by its own admission, a "fantasy heartbreaker," which is the usually derogatory term used by someone's homegrown version of Dungeons & Dragons.  If I had to summarize HAD's genetic heritage, I'd call it an early edition of D&D done using Fourth Edition mechanics.  If that early edition had 11 character classes. HAD has the standard D...
