RPG backgound before MRQ, d20 or d100?

[Trifletraxor]

Just wondered what's the statistic on peoples RPG background here on the forum. Have you played mostly d20 or d100 systems before?

SGL.

 

[Rurik]

D100 all the way. Plus some d10 and d6 based systems.

Though one of my altime favorite systems is d20 - that would be Pendragon.

 

[Halfbat]

That's a problem - I'm an ex-RQ1 player which also means I did D&D before it was d20 and also did original Traveller (2d6, basically) as well as Pendragon, C&S, Cthulhu, etc ... where's the "both" or "something else" boxes? :wink:

But which system have you played the most?

d10 and d6 boxes? Darn! I rolled a failure! I probably need a period of poll-making excercise like Rurik had to increase my poll-making skill.

Well, just keep using your poll making skill and you'll get better at it.

Oh, wait, wrong system...

I picked d100 since I did play a lot of RQ3 back in the day (and Hârnmaster later), but I think 3d6 (GURPS) would have been the right box for me.

I have been playing roleplaying games since about 1978 and they have been mostly D&D. Its only in the past 10 years or so that I have gotten involved with groups that play other systems such as stormbringer, champions, whitewolf, and shadowrun. I do much prefer the systems that are "classless" as players can choose skills that fit a character rather than trying to fit a character to a predefined class. I am currently involved in runing a new RQ campaign and am playing in an Iron Kingdoms campaign and generic world D&D campaign with a Werewolf game starting in the near future.

You could have added a box "Both".

The question was which system have you played most before MRQ. d20 or d100?

SGL.

 

[Faelan Niall]

Been gaming for 27 years, have played a ton of different systems. Favorites d100, SR 4th Edition, White Wolf (Old and New WOD), Earhtdawn, The Riddle of Steel, and Fading Suns. Started on D&D and quickly moved on to better things, played d20 for a year when it first came out and rediscovered why I dropped it in the first place.

 

[ninthcouncil]

Since moving to London, I've been playing mainly d20. Over the years though, I would think lengthy periods playing mainly RQ2/3 and Call of Cthulhu would mean that BRP-related games are the largest category (I've also played quite a bit of Pendragon, if you count that as BRP-related, even though not d100). There's quite a bit of Traveller mixed in there too, which of course is neither...

 

[Vagabond]

I put d100, but really, "both" would be more appropriate, or any combo
of d20, d100, 2d6 (Traveller), 3d6 (GURPS), and the system known as
Jorune which was a mix of dice. I probably played them all equally.

However, given the two choices, and that d20 usually refers to modern
D&D/WotC (I don't consider 80's AD&D to be a d20 system), then
d100 is the more appropriate answer (RQ2, Stormbringer/Elric!, CoC
and James Bond).

Yep, problem with the poll is that D20 is too new to be given the second choice. But if by D20 you also mean AD&D back in the 70's and 80's where to hit required a D20 roll, then yes, it's a valid poll.

I did the same even though I am the same.

By d20 I did mean AD&D in all its incarnations. It's a poor poll, but I what I was trying to see was how many had a primary AD&D background and how many had a primary BRP background.

SGL.

EDIT: So far BRP seems to be the winner!

 

[indrodar]

So does that mean the OGL Runequest isn't bringing in the D&D d20 players? Or that this board is just full of us RQ grognards?

 

[frogspawner]

Hmm, maybe my d100 vote should have been d20, then.

My CV:
70's = d20 (D&D) and d6 (T&T) Player, then GM.
80's = d20 (AD&D) Player & GM, latterly with some RQ2 & home-brew d100 as player.
90's+ = d100 (my own RQ variant, plus some RQ2/3) GM, occasional d20 (AD&D variant) as player (and, as of this month, player of strict 1st-ed AD&D - retro-chic or what!)

So, d100 at heart, but maybe d20 by total playing time - just. What's that make me? (Polite answers only, please!)

Hehe, that depends on what you think about "legendary abilities".

I can't say - 'cos it's only fair that I also restrict myself to polite answers. :wink:
