OK - here goes.

1) Deadlands (I have yet to play or Marshall a game of HoE, so I can't speak to that game, but I still buy all the books!  Althoug I feel that I would love it, cause part of what I love about PEG is the system.  It rocks, and it uses limits and series to calculate probabilities.  Just ask me sometime!)

2) SpaceMaster (I can hear the groans now, but hear me out!  While RoleMaster is (IMNSHO) a great game, the whole delving into minutia never really clicked for an epic fantasy game.  However, for a true Science Fiction game, the minutia is what make the game ring true.  I loved the exquisite detail this game provided.  It made it possible to play an exciting exo-biologist like no other game could.)

3) AD&D (What can I say.  I first got this game when I was visitng the grandfolks in the States.  I lived in Aust. at the time.  No one had heard of such a thing Down Under, but using the blue books only, I tought myself how to play, tought friends how to play, and ran a years worth of games for them - all at age 9.  I can't turn my back on THAT!)

4) Star Wars - West End Games version (Even since I discovered my talent for a wookiee roar, my friends have begged for me to be in Star Wars games.  Gues the roar (and the fact that I love to use it) coupled with the fact that I am 6'6" and 260 lbs makes me a pretty good wookiee.  Now if only I could grow the hair out!)

5) Champions (The mechanics of this game are incredible.  I love the purely d6 system.  This would be higher, but it is the sad truth that 4 color comics are much better as comics, and not as gaming campaigns.  That being said, I still love to play Dash, my speedster, even if it is just as a change of pace (pun intended.)  By the way - there is no Mrs Dash.)
