Late to the party again... but here's my games list... which is extremely old school.
Fantasy- Warhammer Fantasy Role Play 1st edition. Like the world and the system was easy enough and didn't get in the way of the story.
Horror- Chill 1st edition - Loveed this game. 1st one I really had a yearning to GM and wrote many original stories for as well as running most of the printed scenarios. I am a huge fam of Universal and Hammer horro and trhis system let me walk in those worlds.
Conspiricy X- Basically X-files the RPG- one of the last RPGs I ran/played before a 10 year Hiatus.
Adventure Hollow Earth eXpedition. This brought me back to RPGs after a 10 year absence.
I grew upon pulp books and dinsour movies. This game was written for me. I'ts a perfect mix of the generes I loved as a kid- ERB's Pelucidar Novels, the Travis Morgan/Warlord comics, Turock Son of Stone, Doc Savage and all the Rpublic serials I got to watch on our local PBS affiliate. I may have grown uop in the 70's but I was awash in the pulp culture of the 30's and 40's. So after two years of staring at this book and not getting it because I didn't role play anymore... and I didn't have a group to play with... I finally bought at the urging of of Bubba Hotep. ANd I haven't looked back since... I've even copted the rules to run horro adventures. It's simple story first mechanics and cenamatic feel are just right for my style of gaming.
All for One- a thrhree Musketeers vs the supernatural style game usin "ubiquity" the same system as the Hollow Earth.
Humor- Toon- what's not to like
It Came From the Late Late Late Show- Humorous late movie comic horror fun. And in my games you wear hats... and occosianly lobster bibs.
So mainly I like games with edge of the seat adventure and opportunities for Dark Humor and sheer terror.
