What other games do you play besides WFRP on a regular basis?

I'm curious as to what other games you guys play (as there are no females on this board evidently) on a regular basis?  Do you feel that it influences your WFRP play ideas?

Although WFRP2 is our current game of choice, we also play SW saga, and keep the dung&drag4 and Arkham options open.  My players really like Betrayal at House on the Hill, but it's out of print (like all good games evidently ;)  I don't play MMO's..I have a hard time sitting there /not/ being creative and just pushing the "win" button incessantly, but I can see why they are popular.  I haven't tried out the WAR MMO, but I did buy the book for ideas for my regular WFRP games and mine some ideas out of it regularly. 

Afterall, players don't have a clue if you're using official material or some crap from a Pokemon game.

Let's see...

Currently playing or running Dark Heresy (2 campaigns), Vampire, Blue Planet and a homebrew Cadwallon game. Until recently I was also playing Mage, but the ST moved to the UK.

I mean diddly. I don't know diddly. I did not mention squats. Squats are not making a comeback.

 

Unless they are. I really don't know!!! Seriously. Though squats were cool. Pity they all got eaten by the 'nids. Or did they?

For the last couple of years it has been Vampire:  The Masquerade, Earthdawn, a lot of Dark Heresy, and some Arcana Evolved.

Right now it's all D & D ( 4th ). I do enjoy the game.

It is a huge pain in the rear to DM for it sometimes.

Building encounters for an adventure takes a lot more time.

I tried very hard to get my gaming group to play Warhammer ( 2nd ).

No luck.

They want characters that are powerful.

A Rat Catcher just didn't excite them at all.

I don't have much hope of getting them to play Warhammer ( 3rd ).

I may still buy it. Looks great to me.

I play Mouse Guard the Role-playing game with my 2 childern. Great fun.

Also have the new pathfinder Role-playing game.

Bit of Xbox 360 and PS 3 now and them.

MMO's are a time and money sink. I stay far far away from them.

We've just put our MGP Traveller and D&D3.5 campaign on hold, so right now I'm only GM-ing WFRP2, and HackMaster Basic soon - which is awesome.

Castles and Crusades.  Great game.  Old-school feel in a lot of way, but with it's own unique mechanics (i.e. not a clone like OSRIC or something).  This game has been the most fun I've had in a while.

Call of Cthulu.

Dark Heresy if I can find a group who wants to play it :)

Does Warhammer Quest count?

My friends and I have been playing that, basically, mixed in with some ideas from Hero Quest.

I feel like I'm 13 yrs. old again!

About to start a Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition campaign, as well as a Dark Sun forum game next year.

Futility

Move him into the sun
Gently its touch awoke him once,
At home, whispering of fields unsown.
Always it woke him, even in France,
Until this morningthis snow.
If anything might rouse him now
The kind old sun will know.

In addition to WFRP, my group regularly plays my heavily house ruled version of Castles & Crusades.  Our favorite settings are Planescape and the Forgotten Realms, though we've dabbled in Eberron and I hope to run or play in Birthright, DarkSun, and Midnight at some point in the future.

We've also played Dark Ages: Vampire occasionally, though not as often as I'd like.  We recently finished a Wild Talents campaign and I'm currently using the One Roll Engine to build a science-fiction campaign using various game settings, mostly Alpha-Omega and CthulhuTech.  I've done this because I've yet to find a single sci-fi game that seemed complete on its own and did everything I wanted it to; combining AO and CT offered a nice combination of post-cataclysmic, cyberpunk, and alien invasion, which is exactly what I was looking for.

There are many other games I'd like to try, but I find that if I want to introduce my group to a new system or setting, I have to be the one to do it.  And despite being a rather hardcore nerd, even I can only dedicate so much time to tweaking rules and setting up campaigns.  Right now, Ars Magica and Shadowrun are at the top of my list of games I'd love to play in the future, as well as an old fashioned Call of Cthulhu grind fest, something I've never done because only myself and one other person in my group are Lovecraft fans.

"D&D Characters Die Frequently.  If you and your players refuse to embrace this axiom, you fall prey to an invulnerability that renders all the dangers impotent.  You simply reenact plots knowing that the hero always survives and wins.  ::yawn::  But in accepting it you spring headlong into a world of thrills n chills where failure and death are ever-present possibilities, surmounted only by the now-classic resolution: create another heroic wannabe and try to do better."  -Frank Mentzer.

Currently running a WFRP campaign. The recent games I've been in have been with GURPS with campaign in Discworld, Indiana Jones themed two-shot and a Deadwood-series inspired western campaign. Oh, and one of us came up with idea of Fallout trilogy (three-shot). He had photoshopped awesome character sheets and the games were really great. :)

We've played 3.5dd years back. We played it for years, but then WFRP 2nd ed came :) I'm bored of D&D settings and don't have time anymore to create my own worlds. Some of our players had played with wfrp 1st and introduced me to 2nd. We used to play D&D every week. Now we play maybe once a month. As we dont have so much time anymore, we get to play less, but I think our games have matured in recent years a lot. So its good. :)

We've also played a lot of a finnish indie game Praedor. It's based on the comics of Petri Hiltunen and the setting is awesome. We found out that the mechanic was surprisingly good. So I've used it in couple of Tokugawa period samurai campaigns.

So basicly we usually have one long campaign going on lead by one of us. The others come up with ideas for other campaigns or 1-3 long story arcs, which we play between the main campaign games if the "main leader" needs some more time and others are getting the "gaming itch" badly.

One ninja is a lethal opponent, ten ninjas just a hindrance.

I'm curently playing (with different groups):

Pathfinder beta (for now, the DM is waiting for the final book to arrive, and then we'll convert)

HARP

Star Wars Saga Edition

And I will be running an Earthdawn 3rd edition campaign soon :) 

The horse is the brains of the operation. I'm just along for the ride.
