I used to play Star Frontiers.

Also, I was a monty hall gamer of the most extreme sort. Now that I am removed from that, I see it in a couple other people. People I refuse to game with. People who think I should be impressed that he and the ONE GUY he games with decided it would be cool to give him infinite powers and blow up Waterdeep one afternoon. Yeah, sounds like fun. If you and your dice bag ever show up at my game, you can expect to not see your dice until after an extremely painful visit to a proctologist and possibly some outpatient surgery.

So yes, I'm ashamed that I ever killed Tiamat with one shot from an Arrow of Dragon Slaying. But I've repented. Please love me again!

the orignal Elric/Stormbringer RPG.  There was a god in the book that granted his powers to priests that used puns, next time any of you see's EUOL ask him about that game and killing anyone (even PC's) so he could get power points to summon him god.

The Chaosium one?

Wow must have missed that.

I did used to have the Prince Valiant and Elf Quest RPG's... (Chaosium) and while that one was kind of cheesy I wish I had it again.

Once the alter ego of myself got into an online RPG of the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon. Fortunately, I have since recieved professional help, though occassionally I have terrifying halucinations of a short bald man in a red robe following me around.

Actually, I DO happen to have a copy of Hunter Planet, as well as some other RPGs that were impossible to find outside of Australia for many years (such as Lace & Steel).

My guilty pleasures could fill a book.  I always loved the old games like Gamma World, Villains & Vigilantes, and Starships & Spacemen (of which we played a very long campaign where we ended up re-writing almost all the rules).  One of my all-time guilty pleasures is the original Arduin game, where good taste was often simply not an issue.

As for Monty Haul games, my mates and I wrote the book!  I remember when we were 13 or 14 and trekking through the Lost City in souped up Apparatuses of Qualish that shot fireballs.  Our characters ended up becoming gods and warring with Odin and Thor for control over the Norse pantheon.  Can we say "Power Trip" boys and girls?

Oh man!  You actually PLAYED Synnibar!?!?!  I've never heard of anyone actually playing that game.  Talk about a guilty pleasure.

Hmmmm...I bought the low budget "Attack of the Humans" a few years back. It's pretty bad.

It's no FATAL though
