As I said in my D&D thing, I really love dungeon crawl if it tries to be nothing else, but I really prefer politcal intrigue stuff overall.  At the same time, I love something like Feng Shui - a game can be all combat, pretty much, but the characterisation is IN the combat, beause you're not just hitting with a sword the same way each time.

I played two Feng Shui games at my con which were some of the best games. One was basically two fights, the other three, yet they had some of the deepest characterisation of the con games.
