Some of these are probably stretching the definition of "popular" :D

Yeah, the thread should really be called something like "The Big List of RPGs".

(Fun with English)

Popular is a hold over from the original list. I'll see about editing the topic title to something else.

Of course, what is popular is also a matter of individual experience. :-)

Just a couple of additions...

TRINITY. White Wolf's far future Sci-Fi game set in a world where powerful psionics explore the universe and try to keep the peace.
http://index.rpg.net/display-entry.phtml?mainid=906

ABERRANT. the White Wolf superhero game. a variant on the storyteller system, and a lot of fun, but out of print. it was republished as a D20 system.
http://whitewolf.wikia.com/wiki/Aberrant

ADVENTURE White Wolf's pulp hero game, full of mystery, suspense, and plenty of 2 fisted action.
http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=5&it=1&filters=0_0_10110_0

These three games were the basis for White Wolf's OTHER universe. set in three different time periods, and encompassing an entire world and history. it was discontinued a few years ago, but its still worth checking out...
And while i know I'm in the minority on this, i think this was the better of WW's two worlds... just saying :wave:


EDIT.. ok they are there, but under the single listing of AEON... that title had to be scrapped due to the MTV cartoon series of the same name... sorry i missed them...


And a few other unrelated games sitting on my shelf that i haven't seen listed yet....

JUSTIFIERS you are a Beta, a Beta class humanoid sent to explore new planets cause you're expendable. Its a fascinating concept. engineered animal-people used as coal-mine-canaries. not a nice world, but one full of role play possibilities
http://index.rpg.net/display-entry.phtml?mainid=1621

MEKTON anime mecha combat set in a galactic empire that captures the feel of anime better than any other game ive seen. not terribly rules heavy, unlike most Mech games, but a lot of fun. its the game system Cyberpunk was developed from.
http://www.mektonzeta.com/

BATTLELORDS OF THE 23rd CENTURY a loud obnoxious Sci Fi game that is so in your face, over the top fun you don't care if its a little inconsistent. Its a beer and pretzels roller coaster that is just plain and simply a HOOT!
http://www.ssdc.com/battlelords/newbie

Just a few of the odd things sitting on my shelf...

I've had discussion with Churcher and Xsgtdanusmc about creating something like this list, only in a different fashion.

I may need to move forward with those plans...

;)

(OK, I probably won't, but ask Church and Dan: it was a great idea...)

I still think we can make money in certifying people.

As much as I loved the owod, I always loved the Trinity Universe more. Trinity is, imo, the most underrated and underappreciated sci-fi game ever. I still dig out my original Aeon deluxe edition, with the coil binding and plastic cover, when the urge to play some sci-fi strikes.
