Well, apart from the "...besides T2k..." ...

I'm currently playing in D&D 4e and Corporation games, with a Deadlands game coming up once our current D&D scenario finishes. I'm also playing PbP games of GURPS 4e (Black Ops campaign) and Wushu (Star Trek TNG era).

Have played and would like to play again games of Cyberpunk 2020, Dragon Warriors, Tunnels & Trolls and Savage Worlds. I have several campaign ideas, but not enough time for face-to-face gaming beyond the D&D & Corporation games I'm in, and I can never find sufficient interested players online for PbP. My CP2020 game died at birth, was resurrected with different players and stumbled on for a few months before two players stopped posting except to answer the roll call and make excuses why they we weren't posting . My LRDG game using Savage Worlds got no interest whatsoever

Thanks O'Borg, how could I forget the Cyberpunk:2020 and Gunmaster:2020 campaigns I have run? Silly me. My Gunmaster:2020 campaign was one of the most enjoyable campaigns I've ever run. Once again MajorPo (the player not the character) was terrifying as the leader of the pack. He played a psychotic former drug dealer who had moved into the black market arms trade. He had plastic firearms (that fired real bullets) with his business card details printed on them and would hand them out on the streets, even to children.

It would be a long list were I to mention all the games I've played more than once. In the last fifteen years, I've almost exclusively run GURPS. I currently run two online GURPS chat-based games, one slightly non-canonical Deadlands and the other weird WWII (currently Dec 2, 1941, with the PCs in Honolulu). The only other games I've run the last five years (one session of each) is BESM, Talistlanta, d6 Star Wars and Fudge. I had a campaign that ran from 2003-7 which was a police campaign in a setting roughly based on Shadorun (but more like Dark Conspiracy), which also used GURPS 3e.

Currently play: D&D 3.5, as it's what most of my friends will play.

Have played in the last 2 years: GURPS (a cross between Space:1889 and Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Serenity RPG.

Have played/run a lot: Space:1889, T2k, Merc 2k, D&D 1st & 2nd ed., Top Secret.

Have played/run a little: other GURPS, 2300AD, Morrow Project, Recon, Rolemaster, Star Trek/FASA, Star Wars (d6)

Have, but not yet played: GURPS Prime Directive, D&D 4e (inevitably, I will be assimilated!)

My trouble is that I have 2 groups of RPing friends: the ones I am closer to as friends, who won't touch anything but D&D; and the ones I can get together only rarely, who will play other stuff.

As a GM I'm currently running Twilight:2000 (v2.2), Traveller: The New Era and GURPS. This last one for ancient, medieval or fantasy adventures or campaigns. I used to run (and I hope to run again in the future), Star Wars D6

And, as player, GURPS, Call of Cthulu and...I'm afraid I have been asimilated, too...D&D, D20.

I've been asimilated too... for now. I'm running D&D 4e. but with a decidedly AD&D/old style Gygaxian klunky feel to it. Main reason is because most of my players (who are also good friends in real life) are really into it. Surprisingly, it was the break I needed and it really served to give me a fresh perspective in GM-ing (or DM-ing, in D&D speak).

I also ran a Traveller free trader campaign set in the Spinward Marches in 1112. I planned to run it through to the convergence point between the classic traveller canon timeline and that of the Megatraveller timeline (the assassination of the Emperor and the resulting rebellion) but the campaign withered away after 3 months of intense gaming. I think it was GM burnout. I used Gurps 4e. Interstellar Wars as my rules platform but liberally cribbed stuff from all extant editions of Traveller (not to mention other SF rpgs including Star Frontiers).

I'm glad to see that lots of players in our forums are into Traveller too.

My Twilight 2015 game set with the Chinese incursion of Luzon sort of petered out too but not until the players made it past one of the last mechanized offensives which was stopped before it got to Clark AFB/Subic Bay. (GM burnout is a very common problem with me, but my friends are understanding) I also used Gurps 4e here.

I've recently revisited both versions 1 and 2 of Twilight and am falling in love with them again. I'm open to the idea of running another escape from Kalisz epic.

Amongst the other games i've had a chance to run or play in the past 5 years were Fading Suns and classic AD&D. I'm hoping my gaming life picks up a bit in the next few months as I may have to go on hiatus again when my wife gives birth to our second baby.
