Very hard decision, I mean the one I played most and still play with a few friends is in fact “Shadowrun” (2e - 6e), but I have to confess, I never joked about Cyberpunk players, I even played Cyberpunk, sometimes both on the same weekend (weird, right).

Here are the three that I remember having the most fun with:

1. “Magna Veritas” and “In Nomine Satanis” (originally from France, iirc), where you played Angels vs Daemons (think “Good Omens” just even more absurd).

2. There was one called “Plüsch, Power und Plunder” where you played living plushies, and had to hide the fact that you’re alive from humans.

3. “Paranoia”, a game where just surviving was the adventure in a dystopian social credit system, that executed you immediately with killer drones, when you got demoted to the lowest level “Infrared”, but you could just use a new clone and start again.

The most rounded rule system I ever expierienced is ERPS, no levels, no experience, just using the skills/attributes give you a change of increasing that particular attribute or skill (this is also free, but only available in German iirc).

How could they not include EotW series?

Other than my various flavors of homebrew over the years, it was probably Empire of the Petal Throne.

Second to that would be the Albedo TTRPG.

My favorite TTRPG is the homebrew system I made myself!

But besides that I’ve played D&D 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 5.5, Pathfinder 1 and 2, CoC, GURPS, Dungeon Crawl Classics, Traveler, Star Wars 5e, and Mini Six. I’m familiar with a lot of others through podcasts, like Paranoia, Toon, VtM, Fate Core, Fiasco, and Over The Edge.

I’m hard pressed to say what my personal favorite system is, but currently I’m saying Fabula Ultima.

Honey Heists or Roll for Shoes anyone?

I guess D&D, but we never went beyond 2.5e. No critical role (or youtube) at that point.

We also played VtM and I think ran a couple other campaigns in the WoD (Mage and Changeling maybe? It’s been 25 years at this point). I was a theater kid, but didn’t really call into the rest.

I was very happy to see both my faves on this list! Lancer and Delta Green! Ive only ran them (one of the Forever GM’s in my group) but the systems are so cool and rich for my kind of storytelling!

Numenera/Cypher System by MCG, but mostly Numenera the far future setting. Solved the problems I had with D&D. It’s Earth 1,000,000,000 years in the future, and it has one of the best bestiaries to read through

In addition to the other AD&D 1e fans, I did not see Gamma World on the list. Shout out to the other Sci Fi ttrpg!

GURPS fan here. yeah, the core game is really not that complicated, it’s only once you get into the supplements that- HOW DO YOU KNOW I’M BRAZILIAN

WH40k: Black Crusade

Apparently, not note-worthy enough 😄

LANCER is absolutely a vibe and I enjoy very much.

I think my favorite system to run is LUMEN especially with groups that want the freedom to do the coolest thing. I mostly end up running D&D 5e and I’m very tired of being the rules lawyer/ loremaster/ combat manager/ etc.

Rules-light systems like LUMEN actually give my players a chance to get what they want while still paying the cost in resources, with a touch of tactical combat that made a memorable game.

Also a fan of Kids on Bikes, and the exploding dice mechanic from games like Savage Worlds!

Star Wars 3.5 was my favorite campaign by far. I played an Ewok engineer that fixed things by banging on them with his rusty wrench. I can do a damned good Ewok voice. It was a riot. He also found and fixed a hoverdisc and just sat on it, floating behind the party wherever they went.

AD&D 1e/2e. And contrary to what the meme says, I’ve also played later editions, Call of Cthulhu, Weird Frontiers, Traveller, Mothership, Dungeon Crawl Classics, Mutant Crawl Classics, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Symbaroum, Dolmenwood, Troika, Don’t Tell Mom & Dad, and Toon. I’m probably leaving some out. Old-school AD&D is still my favorite.
