General
Here's the rundown on the other games that I have played. Comments welcome!
Shadowrun
An OK system, though it gets a bit unwieldy with all of the die 6s. The setting is also
only mediocre in my opinion. The Matrix and Decking system is very good though and I am
going to try to make it work for the d10 system of WoD.
Star Frontiers
I enjoy Star Frontiers, thoguh I play it very rarely. Mostly because I do
not have a group who plays it and also because I have kindof moved on to
other gaming systems, though I look back on this one with fondness.
Rifts
The system for the game is one of the worst I have seen. It is nigh impossible to do anything
without having to go look something up in the poorly laid out corebook. I really like some of the
ideas about the setting though, so that is why I am still holding onto my copy of the corebook.
Also the cybernetics, bionics, and robotics stuff are pretty useful for other game systems.
Ninjas and Superspies
I have only played this game (not GMed) though it still seemed a bit unwieldy for systems.
While the varity and number of skills in this game is incredible, the fact that starting
characters have so many skills to keep track of, makes creation take way too long. Again, though,
I really like the setting and the plot ideas from this game, but I can usually just implement them
using a different gaming system (such as WoD).
CarWars
A pretty nifty game, and it even has a workable system to go with it. A fun game to play to take
a break, but not one I would want to play on a regular basis.
Champions
I have played this game only a few times, and while the system is not great, it is fun to play
as a superhero once in a while to take a break from the seriousness of most other games.
