As the title says.
I DM and play 4E pretty much exclusively at the moment, and have tried running Savage Worlds as a PbP.
I am interested in running or playing the following:
Mongoose Runequest II
Barbarians of Lemuria
Fading Suns (1st Ed)
Anyone else?
I'd love to play d20 Modern or Mutants and Masterminds. Unfortunately, most of the games that get offered in those systems tend to be inspired by a specific fandom I know nothing about. Particularly with M&M I'd love to just play in a generic supers game (I've in fact thought about running one, but don't have time to prepare it right now).
I'd love a d20 Modern/Modern Horror game. Most everyone loves to do Vampire/World of /darkness which is fine, but I want to fight monsters, not be them. But Each to his own, I guess...
If only because I still have a fond spot in my heart for them I'd love to be in or run a Rifts or Robotech game, but it seems Palladium is deeply unpopular these days, from what folks who are more In The Know have told me, so I reckon my odds of being able to do either of those things are not good.
But eh, I had a lot of good times with those games back in the day. Maybe I'll try to start something up in a bit.
I just got Cthulhutech and Legend of the Five Rings 4th edition, so I'd like to play those (though I think my RL group would like to give Cthulhutech a try for sure). New World of Darkness- Changeling is also something I doubt I'll ever be able to play in RL but would like to try anyways.
World of Darkness Revised(not that Requiem crap), Exalted, Mutants and Masterminds, and the World of Darkness systems are all games I would love to play in again.
BUT, I also wouldn't mind some straight normal "D&D" games as there is a slew of character concepts I have, that range from low level to high epic, in the Forgotten Realms to Eberron and Golarion.
Rifts, Nightbane, D20 Modern, PF, and if the story premise is solid, even 3.5 for me. Also echoing Monkeygod in Eberron, at least.
I'm already in a couple games and running one (PF), though I think it may be dying on one front.. :(
I have lots of rule systems on my shelves and like working out the wrinkles in the different systems. The best way to do that is through play.
Currently, I GM Star Wars Saga, Dresden Files, and a d20/SAGA hack Zombie game.
I also play in couple of Pathfinder (Eberron and Forgotten Realm setting games), Star Wars SAGA, and a home made Legion of Superheroes.
I don't have time to GM something new but can help fill out numbers for a concept.
Quite a lot of interest in d20 Modern - someone should obviously start up a game!
No love for Runequest?
I've never gotten to play Feng Shui, Nightbane, Changeling, M&M (unless I ran it), Nexus, On the Edge, or the new Chaosium Basic Roleplaying System.
I miss Ars Magica, even though we did a more adventury type of game.
And locally, we're stil playing 3.5 instead of pathfinder.
I would like to gm a M&M game which edition would be prefer?
I have access to 2nd Edition, but I am sure i could track down 1st if i had to

M&M 2e*, Vampire: the Masquerade, Aberrant, Adventure! and Trinity would all be at the top of my 'want to play' list, given the right game. I have, no exaggeration, *hundreds* of characters lying around for these games, since I design characters to test concepts in my head (and created a couple cities worth of vampires, back when I was running games).
Someday I wouldn't mind trying an Ars Magica or Mage: the Ascension game, but I am not familiar with the rules, so I would rather play my first game of either at a table with experienced people who can lean over and smack me when I mess up. :)
*I haven't gotten M&M 3e or DCA yet, so I'm less comfortable with those rules.
Houses of the Blooded. I've wanted to play in or run a game under that system for ages. In some ways, it's a great option for pbp as it's pretty much entirely rp, but only for a very determined and committed group.
Runequest - I've been hearing raves about from Fabes and like the little I've seen.
I don't have any real affinity for modern/scifi but that's just a personal thing.
Don't much care what system, if I'm honest. Good gaming is good gaming. My only real drawback is not having the necessary books for a lot of them.
Just throwing these out there as well:
Swords and Wizardry
Labyrinth Lord
Spellcraft and Swordplay
OpenQuest
ZeFRS aka Conan The Roleplaying Game
Risus
I have 2nd & 3rd Edition pdfs and hero lab data sets.I would like to gm a M&M game which edition would be prefer?I have access to 2nd Edition, but I am sure i could track down 1st if i had to
Did not even know there was a 3e for M&M. Whichever is fine, sure I could track dwn the PDFs for 3e if needed.
Edit: since there seems to be about 5 peoples on just this here thread alone who've expressed interest in a M&M game, perhaps somebody should create a thread for just that if there will be an attempt to run a game.
I'm posting on my cell while @ work, so if a thread does get created, pls save me a spot in case I can't chime in any time soon

It's the basis of the new DC Adventures RPG.
3:16 Carnage Across the Stars would be fun to do.
If I am not mistaken, most of the people who piped in on M&M said 2e. If that is true, you might have more luck with a 2e thread. Good luck either way.
Excellent - nice to see a game get going.
My own quest for non-d20 system players continues!
Mazes and Minotaurs is another system I'd like to run. It's free as well, if anyone's interested.
Fabes DM, I'd be interested in Mazes and Minotaurs. 1972 rules or 1987? I'd also be willing to consider Labyrinth Lord or other games of its ilk.
A GUMSHOE system mystery game would be awesome too.

Mouseguard. It's so hard to find a Mouseguard group.
I keep meaning to pick that book up.

I got MRQ II, Barbarians of Lemuria, and the Legends of Steel setting for BoL on PDF sometime ago. Speaking of Legends of Steel, I just puchased the ZeFRS version of the setting. Sigh...now, I just have to get around to getting the stuff printed.
I've have yet to try PBP, but I'd be willing to give it a shot for either Savage World's Hellfrost or Pendragon 5.1., and sometime later this year, Chivalry & Sorcery: the Rebirth, Artesia: Adventures in the Known World or even Dragon Warriors.
So at least one other person has an interest in the same systems! Not quite enough for a PbP though :(
I have never heard of mouseguard or gumshoe; do you really think many players have the gumshoe spirit? not to many are really up to thinking detective like, takes work.

I have Trail of Cthulhu and Mutant City Blues. They are both Gumshoe and I've run Trail of Cthulhu twice now. The system works well and I like it.
I also own Mousguard though I haven't played it yet. It is not the game most of my friends would like but I like the comics; so, I bought the book and then went on to order and buy Burning Empire.
Mutant City Blues; what a name for a game

It is kind of a CSI cross with a Supers game.
You play the Super Cops with Super powers looking into crimes committed by Super Villains. The super powers are arranged in a graphical web; so, you can link related events to particular sets of powers and figure out who might have done what and what more they might be capable of doing.
I have been contemplating adapting the Gumshoe system to run 'cod-archaeology' games - following rumours of historical/mythological artefacts like the Ark of the Covenant, Excalibur or the Holy Grail.
Anyone fancy that?
It depends on whether your aim is more an Indiana Jones type of pulp fiction or more of a 'harder' science like a Discovery Channel / National Geographic episode.
If you want Indiana Jones then Spirit of the Century FATE system works well.
If you want the Discovery Channel documentary type then Gumshoe would work well.
Gumshoe works best, IMO, when you want an investigation style of game where 'missing' pieces of the puzzle would have a negative impact on the game and story. Gumshoe works to help reduce that problem by saying if you are an expert at gathering that type of information then we'll just say you did that rather than have some percentage roll which really penalizes you for trying to find the clue that you need to move the plot along.

I'm mostly into Trail of Cthulhu, but I'd give it a shot.
The only other systems I own other than Pathfinder and 3.5 are Rokugan and both D20 and SAGA editions of Star Wars. I wouldn't mind a game in either of those, but I am not in a position right now to try to add my collection any.
wow; so many games now; pretty cool time to be a player.
Anyone for Encounter Critical? :D

There have always been four or five big new title games a year plus a dozen or smaller press games.
The trouble is getting people to go outside their known set of games. My personal gaming group probably has at least 50% that could not even name five different RPGs. Of the rest, I would say maybe one or two has actually played a dozen different systems.
It is funny that people are far more gregarious in their computer gaming with often a dozen titles or more a year that they will learn and play but not the same for pen and paper games. Many don't even realize the wide variety of titles out there.
Then again, I find the same in Anime. Most people that I know and in our local Anime club know maybe a dozen titles have been dubbed into English. Their knowledge often stops at big Mecha, crazed Saiyans, and a few card or ball captured duel monsters.
----------------------
Lots of good title choices on this list and I'd be happy playing or running many of them.
One of my fantasy GMs just folded his game after going three levels and over a thousand posts. That clears a slot for me to look at running or playing something.
I have plenty of main line games; so, I'd be happy to go with something less main line.
If I were to run one of the following, which would people want?
ICONS Rpg - FATE system superheroes
Mouseguard - Medieval society mice
Burning Empires - Sci-Fi Invasion of a planet by intelligent worms that burrow into people's brains.
Apocalypse World - Post Apocalypse role-playing
Currently,
I'm running
Star Wars (Saga System)
Dresden Files RPG
and a Zombie Hack (Saga and d20 Modern Hack)

Lets see, I'm somewhat familiar with Swords & Wizardry, Savage Worlds: Hellfrost and Pendragon 5.1.
I also have the following games, and would love an excu...err, I mean, a reason to learn/re-read them:
OSRIC
Castles & Crusades
Dragon Warriors
Shadow, Sword and Magic
Jaws of the Six Serpents
ZeFRS
Legends of Anglerre
Chivalry & Sorcery 4th Edition (The Rebirth)
Artesia: Adventures in the Known World
Pars Fortuna
Barbarians of Lemuria (Legendary Edition)
Runequest II
I'd love to play d20 Modern or Mutants and Masterminds.
Same here, I think that DQ and I (along with SDF aaand... one more) still have characters from a D20 future that we're hoping will come back someday.
D20 Modern, RIFTS (yes, I know), and Star Wars are something I'd love to play in, but they're few on these boards.
ZeFRS
Pars Fortuna
Barbarians of Lemuria (Legendary Edition)
Runequest II
I'd love to play in any of these in PbP. I'd love to GM them too, but I don't have the time, with running 2 4E games.
Mouseguard. It's so hard to find a Mouseguard group.
I Know!!! I would love to do a Mouseguard pbp! But it always seems as if no one is interested.
On the subject of systems no one seems to want to play, I've been jonesing to either run or play some Legends of the 5 Rings, but there seems to be little love for samurai on these boards.
If I were to run one of the following, which would people want?

I'd personally prefer Mouseguard, but I'd have to review the rules again before playing.
