I personally like wargames for a quick fix, but luv RPG's for the long haul. My fav wargame for now is LotR's, as I was brought up on the books and later the movies to fire the imagination, and over a period of time collected the rules, figures and various suppliments which improve with each year. All these make the game more enjoyable ... just wish I could get the just of the rules 100% ... damn this monkey brain of mine!

As for RPG's ... well there u ... a more personal attachment to the character in that time & place. Does that sound crazy or have I'm been gaming to long! So you have to like being that character and where he/she is going within that era ... and as it's over a long period, hopefully if I survive longer than a few weeks, u become more attached.

Yeah ... a toughy ... but as usual I'll pick both!!! ... Walts (The undecide monkey brain!)

Roleplaying rules i'm not in a position to say as im not really experienced, but setting i can say what appeals to me. I have always had a great affinity with fantasy and science fiction/fantasy, therefore DnD, shadowrun, starwars, traveller etc all really appeal to me. But my short experience into RPGs has shown me that the genre, setting and mechanics are not really that important. Its the story and having fun that matters.

In regards to wargames i prefer skirmish level games, RoE and AT43 have been introduced to me through this club and i'm really impressed. however i still have fond memories of 40k even though i've not played in years.

What RPGs etc .etc.?

I do all the stuff i am interested in. FoG Fantasy, Flintloque , OD&D AT-43.

The only thing i have that i never play is Modern Spearhead...cos no one else has Micro-moderns. (A Division )

Though i have done it using epic 40k stuff.

I would like to play in a cyberpunk RPG...i have GMed a few campaigns at the club , but never played.

I have bidded on the cyberpunk 2020 Corerule book.

My game is coming together, i need to do some more work on it. Im getting there.

looking forward to it.

Pity you didn't like star hero...you could have saved a few quid...( for AT-43 stuff )

BTW thanks for sorting out the Drow picture for me...have added some comments...oops crossposting, naughty-naughty.

hopefully this means i can get started quicker

sorry to get off topic.

As for my own faves, I haven't played all that many wargames but still think Warmachine is great but lots of others run it close, like AT, LOTR etc. I really enjoyed the house rules for Flintloque too.

RPGs are more difficult, there's so many great ones. I'll always have a soft spot for WFRP, Judge Dredd, Paranoia and Dragon Warriors, because that's where I cut my teeth. Rolemaster probably has the best combat system, if you have a spare 3 hours to fight one orc and a supercomputer to work out the calcs...

its my first rpg game of my very own! i Star hero is a good system but i want one of my very own

that way no one knows the rules but me ,

I have a good few thousand adventures ready for my campaign. the biggest daunt for me is getting the combat rules etc under my hat. i hope you have a lawgiver ready to issue in my direction!
