I see. Well take THIS.

The Palladium mistake is one we all make, and in this case, with fond memories. None the less, gulty pleasure. I loved the Rifts 'story' etc. but then I loved StarCraft before realizing its watered down 40k. Still love it, I spose. I have always hated alignment, because players pick it for usually no good reason, and then feel that it dictates to them how they should act. Also, it was too complex, without offering anything really unique from the others on any given choice. The new alignment got rid of some of the pointless options, but I still hate it. The only I have ever used it for regularly was 'if one is chaotic and hit by a lawful sword, it hurts more' and ignored it otherwise, and intend to continue to do so. The gods are eh. Just eh. I love DragonLance, but not because its a particularly good setting to run a game in. They keep importing interesting gods from the setting options in to the core, and thats not really new, just lame. I still think there should be 'god of good and light' and 'god of dark and bad' and 'god of growing green shit' or somesuch, and let the settings have specific pantheons.

I love Palladium. I readily admit that the game system is broken, but the ideas that were contained in those books were downright awesome. Also, Rifts was the first real RPG I actually played. It is an exercise that serves in demonstrate why game ballance is important, however. As far as 4e, I played one character at level 12 and felt REALLY nerfed. Part of this is overall lower damage and hitpoint totals across the whole game, and part of it is the severe lack of utility in items. There's a cap on how many items you can use a day, based on level, meaning that it doesn't matter how many things you have, if you have used one or two, the others turn off. (Granted this is not the +1 on your sword, but it IS the +1d6 fire damage on it.) I then played at 1st and 2nd level and felt much less nerfed, but still with very little choices. To me, you may as well hand me the photocopied pregen character and let me write my name on it.

Mine too, plus it plays videos and has wi-fi web browsing.

We know that look. That "If I have to check for traps one more time, I'm going to sneak a spoonful of drain cleaner into the GM's Yoo-Hoo and start screaming "Guess you missed your save on that one, Mr. Ten-By-Ten Stone Corridor!!" look. You need help. You need HoL. Science Fiction roleplaying for gamers who've had a really bad day. Get it before you hurt somebody. HoL. More fun than a cow on laxatives. Recommended for mature readers only.

I actually brought the book over the other night and showed Rach. She was, shall we say, amused.

Think we are going for Tales. See new thread.

I totally forgot I have Call of Cthulhu which is funny for me, and Paranoia, which is too, and Hol, which is fun for the whole family.

Wanna play what? Yeah, it gets like that. I've played whole games where I never took a single point of combat damage, and often ended up tied to a tree, or covered in pumpkins.

So... We have Seige, you, and Pedro? Anyone elses?

That would require that I knew anything about one piece. :p

Alrighty. As for comedy, I have: Tales From the Floating Vagabond My personal favorite, this game can have nearly any character from nearly any universe, and has great skills like "swing nasty pointy things" and "stabbing fleshy things that scream and die" and "Look Good at All Times."Classic. DnD A more serious game, and I do stress more, as it can still be sorta slapstick silly.Involves being elves and dwarves, wizards and fighters, etc. Lots of killin things and takin their stuff so as to go kill other things. RISUS Called the 'anything RPG' this game consists of writing two or three things on a post-it note and starting the game. Very free form, not a lot of character statistical development, but only as much depth as you put in to it, as there is none by default. Can-d6 Invented by a friend of mine, this game requires a bowl of wrapped candies to play. (Wrapped candies are needed as the candy changes hands several times before you eat it.) Everyone plays a 6 year old. The first game of this I ever ran was for Halloween, and the characters were Trick-or-Treating, and discovered a ghost or some such. Everyone loves acting 6 years old, so its fun! Spirit of the Century A simple to play, Indiana Jones style pulp game, with rewards for entertaining the group and doing things that are awesome, rather than knowing all the rules and making tactical decisions. Big Eyes, Small Mouth An anime game (thus the name) which incorporates nearly any setting and style. This could be played as a 'lets be in the Pokemon universe' as easily as 'lets play Gundam' so it fits whatever we want to do. Lots of action, simple system to learn and play. Also, if any of you Hondonian's have comments on the games above, they are more than welcome, wheather you are wanting to able to play or not. Feel free to tell me I am dumb, or that we should play your game instead, whatever.

Or rather than just 'what game' how about What sort of game? Action? Comedy? Serrious? Fantasy, sci-fi, modern?

I keep seeing that around, and always wanted to play it. I love traditional risk. Is it as good as I hope? Sweet. I assume thats both you and Seige? Who else wants to play? Oh yes.... What game?

This may actually come in handy, for us and for anyone trying to schedule things. http://whenisgood.net/

Cool. So who wants to play, what sort of game, and when?
