Not a fan of vampires myself. I would like to try Mage: The Ascention one day. That one sounds really cool. Especially the whole part where if a mundane catches you casting spells you could cause some kind of paradox and rip a hole in the universe!

I played a bit of vampire as a teen. Never got the hang of the pretentiousness, which I must admit I mostly recall seeing with people who'd only ever played vampire as opposed to roleplayers who played vampire as one of many games.

We also played werewolf - so much more werewolf than I really cared to, but it was easy to get certain people to play it, so...

Mage? New mage or the original game? They are so different as to bear little but cosmetic similarities.

I had no idea there was a new one...

Sounds like... Call of Cthulu?  Except you are the mundane and your brain explodes when you see magic?

I played Vampire a little in high school (and had a similar experience to those detailed here), and a couple years ago, a friend convinced us to try WoD, and started a Hunter game. Of course, he made every mistake possible- DM NPC running the show, impossible puzzles, refusal to admit he misspoke- it had a lot of problems.

But it was more fun than the previous time I played.

Once I decided I was right in really hating the vampires, I did develope a character from The Changeling, a Sluagh information broker who was okay with werewolves but had a real problem with blood suckers. 

My immortal character was Grand Duchess Tatiana Romanov - ever wonder why one of the sisters was missing from the mass grave?

Last night Hunny was reading books for the Star Wars RP...so maybe WW is out now in any case.  One of the best games EVER played was SWRP, so I'll wait to see what comes out in the wash

wich version of star wars? Saga or West End? personally I prefer West End. It feels more like star wars where as Saga feels like D&D in space.

If you're looking for a new game, I'd really recommend Serenity (Coretex System RPG, by Margaret Weiss), or Fate (especially the Dresden Files book). Both are great games, and take a more active imagination to deal with problems.

or if you want something super hero oriented, try Mutants and Masterminds.

IMO, the game is fun when the people involved are fun, regardless of game system.  That said, I do think some game systems can make it easier to have fun.  Even the most complicated game system, with the right people, can lead an entertaining session.  D20 for example, is a very simple system.  Simple enough that I find it kind of boring.  However, I would still play it with my friends in a heartbeat, since it's my friends that make the game.  Quality of people over all

[Jester]

that's true. Haven't really thought about it like that.

West End.  Huge handfuls of dice to chuck, in impossible situations, when you burn your Force points, and every advantage you can manage, and you know its really a good fookin luck roll...made two of those in the course of a years gaming.  You try landing an Imperial shuttle after you've been EMP'd otherwise.

Anyway, the consensus is now a draconic campaign through the ADD system - I gotta get me a dragon character.  I gotta admit, I'm wondering about playing in an all dragon party but if it comes off, I'll let you know how it goes

Council of Wyrms?

[APOCALYPSE]

Sounds like my kind of crowd.

If you use the Dragonlance setting it definatly can be done.
