Yeah, go ahead and ask me what roleplaying games that I can name!

I belong to two survey services, a few times I week I'll receive an email about something they want to ask me about. One of them awards points that you can cash in on stuff, the other enters you into drawings that generally are awarded as Amazon gift cards. I've received at least four cards from the latter.

Well, tonight I get home and there's a survey waiting for me. They asked me what roleplaying games I could name. HAH!

Here's what I came up with. The sad things that I've probably played over half of them.
Champions, Deadlands, Heroic Fantasy, Call of Cthulhu, Pendragon, GURPs, FUDGE, AD&D, Spycraft, Judge Dredd, Dr. Who, Star Wars, Star Trek, Bushido, PSIWorld, Land of the Rising Sun, Chivalry & Sorcery, Furry Pirates, Albedo, the d20 System et al, Hackmaster, DC Heroes, Marvel Superheroes, Villains & Vigilantes, Vampire: The Masquerade, Wraith, Werewolf, TORG, Tunnels & Trolls, Mercenaries Spies and Private Eyes, Middle Earth Roleplaying Game, Harn, Tekumel, Runequest, Ringworld, Mutants & Masterminds, Twilight: 2000, Traveller, 7th Sea, Amber Diceless RPG, Buffy the Vampire Slayer RPG, Angel RPG, Firefly RPG, Babylon 5 RPG, Farscape RPG, Stargate RPG, In Nominae, Space Opera, Battletech, Robotech RPG, Ninjas & Masterminds, Elf Quest, Legend of the Five Rings, Warhammer, Paranoia, Shadowrun, Cyberpunk, Chill, Toon, Teenagers From Outer Space, Kobolds Ate My Baby, Star Ace, Top Secret, Gamma World, Boot Hill

Turns out the quiz was for AD&D 3.5. Apparently WotC was looking for some marketing info. I told them that I played it but no longer do, but that was long before WotC existed. I'd love to see the face of the marketing wank who reads my survey response and sees all these games listed! It'll also be interesting to see what other games people list. (hint, hint)

You missed Spycraft on the first line, d00d! If you look in the playtest names on the core rulebook, you'll see Wayne West there. I did EXTENSIVE revision of their gun systems, they really sucked in the beta. I forgot BESM, HERO I didn't want to do all of the systems, so I stuck with Champions and Fantasy Hero (intended). In Kung Fu movies there's HKAT and Shadowfist.

I used to work for Flying Buffalo twenty years ago, they made Tunnels & Trolls and Mercenaries, Spies, and Private Eyes. I've been to quite a few gaming conventions, too, including Origins 2001 where I hooked up with the Series Archer folks.

I loved the modern RPG aspect, but then they went all D&D on us with Source Book of the Month Club.

Yep. Missed Spycraft entirely. Hero has a lot of variants, most deifnitely.

As for conventions, only the one that I work, and it's by virtue of being on my college campus, so... yeah.
