I have my old box of DC Heroes RPG in my closet. I don't play the standard table top RPGs anymore but that survived my last move. I still have it. Nowadays I play Champions Online which is based off "Champions the TTRPG." Good Times. =)
Earlier I was on my phone in a discreet location when I posted the previous tweet. Tho this image was stored on my phone it was an HEIC file which BlueSky doesn't like. So I've converted it into a.. I guess JPG? *shrug* Anyway, THIS is the DCHeroes RPG box that has been w/me since the 1980s. :3
It is surprising that my DC Heroes RPG box is still in such good condition. However, unfortunately, the "Power and Skills Guide" has been lost, and THAT was the MOST important part of the entire game set! Ah haz a sad nao!
Thirsty Sword Lesbians, Cypher System (incl. The Strange, Numenera, Magnus Archives, etc.) Daggerheart, Old Gods of Appalachia, Blades in the Dark, Girl by Moonlight, Call of Cthulhu, Ten Candles, Dread, Vaesen, Delta Green. God, I know we have like ten more downstairs...
I think it's like one of the last five RPGs I purchased actually I actually backed it for the Kickstarter and I love it haven't played it though not for lack of trying
When I was a really young teen I was really into the palladium games like heroes unlimited and whatnot, but the system is meh while m&m is way more satisfying to build characters and effects in.
I really enjoyed mutants & masterminds. I think I'm torn between second and third edition but the last time I ran it was third.
I think now any kind of game I'd play would be a lot softer rules wise but I think the effort put into making it the genre it was trying to be was successful

Going way back there was a TTRPG based on the Francis Ford Copella Dracula movie, that was pretty good. Blood was one we played a lot. My favourite game at the time was Blood Bowl, not really a TTRPG but it's Warhammer so I'm sneaking it in.

The two systems I probably had the most fun running that weren't D&D/PF (or otherwise d20 adjacent) were HERO System (5th Edition) and Exalted (2nd Edition).
The one I had the least fun running was Street Fighter: The Storytelling Game.
I ran Chaosium's "Call of Cthulhu" (Basic Role Playing base) for *years*. It was my favorite game to play; it was intuitive and easy for players to learn and join.
Endless list, maybe rule sets- Year Zero, Mörk Borg, Forged in the Dark, Fate, Powered by the Apocalypse, Agon, and a few spectacular recent systems-- Mothership, Shadowdark..... on and on and on!

Wraith: The Oblivion. A sad game for sad characters played by… all my cool queer friends for like, a two year chronicle that I ran in a “fictional near future” that bears an unsettling resemblance to our actual current world (US renamed into the Fourth Reich and all PCs were angry gay ghosts).
I really want to try running a CAIN sesh for my friends, bit I also want to watch like a real session play out on an actualplay to get a feel for it first. Lancer sounds cool too!
Lancer! (The current top of my to-play list)
And also these OSR ones I took a picture of the other day when someone asked about trying out some old-style games.
Got a weird one, Space Aces.
Love it. Never has a TTRPG book made me cry-laugh, not thst I expected any would.
Very rules-light, episodic, tons of nerdery, good time.

Veil of the Void, Emberwind, Fantasy Age, Hollows, Dreams and Machines, Dishonored, Blades in the Dark, Swords of the Serpentine. I’ve got a ton honestly
Unfortunately published by a big name in the French ttrpg/game industry, known for appropriating other people's works and putting his name on it. Good game nonetheless.
Haven’t seen this one mentioned yet. Pictured: original 1985 Deluxe Edition, reprinted late 90sDeluxe Edition, GURPS sourcebook, miscellaneous tokens including zeppelin.
it's really cool that your library had that in my time libraries did not have that
I saw it in a board game store and the box had been opened but everything was in it and so like there were deck plans and sheets for controlling ships in combat and character sheets and the rule book
I think that game was one of my favorites for making characters that and the second edition. The way you created characters through working through their careers sort of like traveler but no risk of dying
I'm wondering what this is supposed to prove. I know dozens of TTRPGs, but so what?
Are you asking which ones I prefer? Easy - anything that uses Savage Worlds Adventure Edition as its rules. To me, that's the most important thing.
