Top 10 Campaigns

So I just found a post on Treasure Tables (http://www.treasuretables.org/2007/11/ranking-your-favorite-campaigns-what-makes-you-tick-2006#more-910) about ranking your 10 best campaign games, itself a repost of a post on another blog http://www.abuliasavant.com/?p=171

Well..... Here goes



System - Game - (GM) - Date


  1. Vampire - Gary by Night - (Ed) - Early 90's

  2. Werewolf - Rage across the world -(Me) - Early 90's

  3. Marvel Super Heroes Saga - State of Love and Trust - (Me) - 2007

  4. Pendragon - [Pelaine] - (Ed) - 80's

  5. Stargate - SG18 - (Me) - 2005

  6. Feng Shui - Hong Kong Era - (Owen) - 2001??

  7. Shadowrun - Various - (Ed) - 80's

  8. Twlight 2000 - Polish hunters - (Danny) - 80's

  9. Sla Industries - Karma Kills - (Ed) - 2000

  10. TMNT - Otherside - (Me) - Late 80's

So thats my list, written in under 10 minutes without much analysis while putting names down.


So analysis, what does it show?


Im not at all surprised that 8 of the games were run by me or a great mate of mine called Ed. I enjoy GMing and Ed has been a gaming buddy since I was 14 and he runs some damn good games, especially when he puts in the prep time.


And again no surprise that Ed's Vampire game ranked highest, it was a truely amazing game that ran from the release of the original Vampire RPG for several years. It also may have helped that my character, Lukas, ended up as Prince of Gary, but hey what do you expect :)


I'm not surprised that D20 systems have very little showing, only my own Stargate game is on the list and I guess this is due to the fall out I had with the D20 system. Its just too much pain after hitting level 10 or so. Fiddly mechanics and trying to track 101 feats just feels like accounting, not roleplaying.


Surprising is that the Marvel game im currently running is up there. This is a very new game with only 2 sessions gone so far and yet im enjoying it immensely.

So what are your top ten?
