I have to admit, I'm no expert to this sort of thing. I've only been into tabletop roleplaying for... I want to say a couple of years, now, and I've only done somewhere that wasn't online a total of one time. There are, however, a ton of systems I'd really love to try out. How 'bout you?

Cartoon Action Hour - The only problem I have with this is that it focuses more on 80's cartoons, which aren't really my thing. Too bad they never made a supplement on how to handle stuff like Gargoyles, Batman, and Swat Kats.

Toon - Just because I want to see what kind of crazy crap I can get into.

Feng Shui - I'm not sure if I'd really enjoy the dystopian setting they've got going on by default, but I'd love to try this out, since I'm so big on action movies. I'd probably handle things more like Die Hard than John Woo, though.

Mutants & Masterminds - As much as I've looked over the book for this, I've never seen anybody run this. Might be a bit more complicated than I'm used to, but I'd give it a shot!

I'd like really like to play / run Deathwatch, even got the book (They are great reads for fluff and setting even if you don't play them). But honestly, the Fantasy Flight rule set looks so... clunky that it's daunting.

I'd like to actually run Exalted someday but that will require an Exalted ruleset that is not crap.

(So, hopefully 3rd edition.)

[up][up]I'm used to mechanics, but only my one friend knows what 40K is, so I'm stuck to G Ming WFRP.

I'd like to just try 40K at some point, if just to see if I'd like it. I love the fluff and am a big fan of that, but I have no idea of how well I'd do at the tabletop game because I don't think I'd possess the finesse to do any emblems or whatever.

[up][up]Honestly, if anyone could give me a way to make combat go faster, I'd run deathwatch. Most of the crunchyness I dislike is in the combat system, which seems to have been purposely designed to make the game as slow as possible. Seriously, the only game I've seen who makes combat this clunky is Shadowrun.

[up]WFRP's 2nd edition is much quicker, I'll admit that. Useful if you want to run campaign on feudal world.

yeah, but I don't really care for WFRP as a setting. And the rules of WRFP doesn't help me make a game about Space Marines :-P

Guy who runs local xerox point noticed that I'm printing out materials for WFRP and told me that if I don't know anyone willing to play/run it I can advertise myself for free there. Hell, maybe someone could be interested in DH/Deathwatch/Black Crusade/Rogue Trader or Only War?

[up]x5: Decals are an option! Also practice, which is probably the best way to get good at it, if the emblems matter to you.

I haven't ever had a chance to play outside of conventions, so my list is everything I want to play, period. I guess the top of the list goes:

  1. Exalted: The setting and potential stories look so amazing and fun and engaging and vibrant. Your character can make a significant difference in the world and the game gives consequences of changing the world, so it feels like you really did change it.
  2. Werewolf: the Apocalypse: I fell in love with this game years ago and have several books, but have never found a group. It's probably the one crapsack/horror setting that I really love.
  3. Middle-earth, if I can find/create a rules system that does it justice. Not to re-hash existing stories but to tell new ones, with new characters.
  4. In Nomine: Even though I've only played it twice at a convention, I've had a ton of fun, either because of a good GM or a good game-product or good players or all three.
  5. GURPS Uplift would also be pretty awesome to play. I really like that series and it's a huge setting with tons to do.

Somehow I forgot to mention Planescape. I don't care for most D&D, but the Planes are so fascinating.

I'd love to play another Eberron game, I didn't get enough time with my artificer.

I had a plan for a campaign for Abberant though I could do it with Scion too.

I'd love to give (probably as the GM) A Time of War a run but no one in my group is interested and we already have too many things going on.

[up][up] Eberron is my standby. Always end up going back to it. I love the setting.

It's just so flexible. you can run a pulp game in Sharn and never leave the city, normal high fantasy stuff, epic "doom of the world" crap.

I need to play a game of Exalted, want to try Co C, look forward to giving Airship Pirates a proper spin, demand Fiasco and really, really want to play in a decent game of Cthulhutech.

I really, really want to play any game using dK² (basically, a French revamp of D&D that I find awesome), because every time I tried, the game ended up stillborn. In a pinch, Legend will do, but it's not exactly the same.

I kinda want to find a gaming group to test Changeling The Lost, because it looks like a fascinating game with lots of interesting ideas. But it will never fly with my current players, that's not their kind of game at all. In the same vein, I have Little Fears (the old, grim version) sitting on a shelf for years, waiting for its day in the limelight.

I wish to play a super-hero or mecha themed game that isn't completely broken, insanely difficult, or both. I'm not sure this exists, really.

And I should really finish my homebrew game, so we can finally playtest the whole thing!

Shadowrun, Supernatural RPG (Cortex System), nWoD, Adeptus Evangelion... Most games I've read the rules for, yet never played, in other words.

EDIT : Hmm. We seem to have a few people that want to play Wo D. Why not organise a Changeling game? We'd just need an extra player or two.

I've wanted to play a World of Darkness game for ages. I joined a play-by-post years ago, but the site folded a few days after my first session. sad

I also wanted to play Mutants & Masterminds. I've written up a bunch of characters, heroes and villains, but I have no group. sad

[up][up] I would be interested indeed. Hard for me to play online much, but it's worth a try.
