I've been gaming since 1981, when I bought the old Moldvay D&D red box at Fred Meyer.
Over the years I've run campaigns including B/X D&D, Fudge, Savage Worlds, Dungeon World, Fantasy Hero, 3E D&D, Pathfinder, and Aria:Worlds (translated into Fudge). Campaigns have run anywhere from a few months to a couple of years, usually playing weekly. I have also played a lot of short and one-off games.
My preferences are for:
- loose fast-paced action, rather than lovingly detailed wargames
- lightweight rules that get out of the way
- system that takes a back seat to the fiction
- player-driven sandboxes, rather than stories... I love exploration games
- gritty low- to mid-level play where consequences and death are possible
- my D&D tastes run toward the OSR. My favorite OSR games are B/X D&D, Basic Fantasy, Fantastic Heroes & Witchery, Elegia, and ACKS.
On my bucket list:
- Fudge. Pretty happy to use it for anything. I have some ideas for mingling with elements of Apocalypse World and D&D, and would love to explore this further.
- Dungeon Crawl Classics looks like a lot of fun
- hex-crawling the Wilderlands of High Fantasy
- something Traveller-esque. Could be Traveller, Bulldogs, Star Hero, Fudge or whatever. I love the mercenary mercantile frontier universe, and love Traveller's concept of hex-crawling through space.
- lost worlds pulp (Last of Mystery for Hero! or Savage? or Fudge...)
- a West Marches style sandbox game using ACKS. Genre similar to Elegia RPG ("8-bit fantasy")
- an old west / victorian horror crossover game
