Your missing "Army of Darkness"
And Savage Worlds. And Cthullutech. And Dragon Age.
None.
Your missing "Army of Darkness"
I didn't think of it. But now that I am, it wouldn't go on this particular list.
None of the Above.
You can just not vote. That works too, for this poll.
D20 Call of Cthulhu
Dresden Files
You can just *favorite* the corresponding post above. Else, you won't
get counted.
In the past 5 years, from the list, I've played Dresden Files (once) and Call of Cthulhu (several times). If the time range were longer, I'd be able to add GURPS and Traveller to the list (though the latter was 29 years ago ;-) ).
Uh, did or did I not played Cthulhu within the last five years... It could be more than five years since the last CoC session I participated in... Also, the poll is very limited in it's scope. It does not involve many other popular games, namely: Rogue Trader, Warhammer, Legend Of Five Rings, Exalted, lots and lots of 3r party d20 settings beyond Iron Kingdoms.

By Dark Hersey to you also mean all the Fantasy Flight Warhammer 40K line( Rogue Trader, DeathWatch, etc.) or just Dark Hersey in particular?
Just curious, why did you pick these games?

None of the Above.
I cannot imagine going five years without playing Call of Cthulhu.

And of course my preferred game doesn't even get a nod (as usual, despite its setting having been done in in d20, GURPS, and Savage Worlds in addition to its own unique, original system, to say nothing of having also spawned a miniatures skirmish game, a CCG, a disc-wars variant, and a Frag variant [and I believe an All Flesh must be Eaten subsetting}). I refer to the inimitable Deadlands setting.
The only Cthulu I played was the d20 version at Origins 2009 with the characters from Scooby Doo (I was Scrappy Doo). Does that count?
Which Usagi Yojimbo? I played a few sessions of the older Fuzion system recently (the combat system is very fast and perfectly mimic's the comic book's style IMO) which I love. So, one of those favorites is for the older system.
Just curious, why did you pick these games?
Most are a smoke screens whilst I drop my payload.
G.U.R.P.S. 3e but then that is probably one of the smoke screens.

Really, these are the ones I currently know where to find an active on-going game.

Ah, okay. That's much less cryptic than your other answer. :-)
Did you end up choosing one?

I kinda want to try out Usagi Yojimbo or Colonial Gothic.
I ran a Traveller (T4) one-shot.
I am currently running 2 Dresden Files games (1 on these boards & 1 in real life)
At least two complete Call of Cthulhu campaigns, as it's one of the GM's favourites.
Played in 1 session of Dark Heresy, which died due to certain player availability.
Had a couple of 1-2 session games of GURP's, just to fill in the club nights (inc. GURPS Traveller).

I run Traveller as Mongoose Infantry
I played Dresden Files at Kingdom Con last year, it was a BLAST!!!
I have played CoC about 12 years ago, it was fun!!
I have Dark Heresy, and Rogue Trader, both are pretty cool, just haven't gotten around to play them.
DSXMachina, do you need another player for Dresden Files???
None of the above.
In the last five years I've played D&D 3.5, D&D Rules Cyclopedia, D&D 4th, Pathfinder, Conan D20. I don't recall anything else but my RPG sessions have been relatively rare.

Pick up a package (a head with a micro-chip in it- but the PC's never looked in the box). And deliever it to a starship on the other side of the planet, despite being attacked. Unfortunately they only just got to the drop-off point when we stopped, because character creation took a while (should have used pre-gens, but only had 3-4 hours to create the scenario). Also since I was so kind/stupid I allowed re-rolls for skills, because that guy didn't want a -1 stat or Artillery:4.

The campaign, "forward to the past," is set in an old Judges Guild sector.
The premise was an entire Imperial battlefleet simply **vanished**.
After a few missions to test the PCs' mettle, one of their unassuming henchfolk revealed that she was part of the inner circle of the Emperor. He needed the incident investigated discretely.
The ensuing adventures took the party to an apparently natural world that should be billions of years old that is actually less than 50,000 years old by date testing! The party found many varieties of ecologically impossible species, many conforming to mythological creatures from the various sentient races. The apparent TL of the civilizations on the world were in the 3-4 range. Eventually the party discovered some very, very long lived creatures in the caverns beneath the planet that told an intriguing tale.
That led the party to look at ancient astronomical histories ... that eventually led them to ... something extremely cool.
The whole campaign is a grand exploration motif, and what keeps the players coming to the table is that there are some real moral challenges presented to the players, e.g., "are there some things that are too dangerous to know?"
Does that help?
in service,

I wish I had included Cyberpunk 2020
The system is very nice. (hint hint)
For those familiar with d20, the resolution system will look vaguely familiar, roll a d10, add in your skill rating and your stat, and beat a target number.
Character creation is very simple, depending on the level of the game, the GM has the option of assigning points for stats which range from 1-10, or to roll dice.
