I am currently playing three table top RPGs, 2-3 video game RPGs, and I've been meaning to return to a LARP for the past year and a half. For those that don't know, and don't worry if you don't, RPG stands for Role-Playing Game and LARP stands for Live Action Role Playing. LARPing is pretty much improving one part for a couple of days.
The two I'm going to touch upon are games that you haven't heard of--The Dresden Files RPG and JACKS:
The Dreseden Files RPG is based on the book series of the same name. If you like mysteries, I would check it out. Very enjoyable. (Shameless plug) My group and I are in the midst of solving a mystery. I really like the fact that this game is set in modern day New York. I like knowing where I am. There's a comfort in that since I have a terrible sense of direction. I play a NYPD detective that found out during our first game and introduction into the magic world that we didn't know existed that she is a shifter--primarily a tiger. It really doesn't make too much sense why I picked tiger in game, but, out of game, I was feeling tiger.
I am also involved in a game called JACKS that was created by a friend and my radio station manager. Picture steam punk/firefly. There are space ships and interplanetary travel, but we still use guns. There is some magic--mainly from those that are "infused". They can manipulate different things around them: life, energy, space, time, technology...I think that's them all. The book should be out soon about how to play. Maybe you might want to try to run a game for you and your friends.
Tonight I'm playing Dresden. I'll talk about our latest adventure tomorrow.
