I played in a 6 session Runquest game back in the mid eighties. I've played using the first iteration of Heroqust twice. Every session was lots of fun.

Never played in Tekumel or Jorune (tho Grace once played in a jorune game at DunDraCon and enjoyed it).

Me, I'd REALLY like to play in a Dying Earth game, but I despair of that ever coming to pass.

Tekumel has long been a cult favorite of mine. I have a map of the Tsolyani Imperium and neighboring states up on my wall. Jorune is one of those worlds that seems like a great idea - never seemed to have quite enough background work done on it to flesh it out, though I understand the fan base has been working on it for years.

I love the system for Dying Earth and have been wanting to try it out. It is simple enough that character creation shouldn't take all that long (though it always does) and it would be fun for a one-shot or a mini-series. I'd want to run it at the low level where your characters are all schmucks, swindlers, and losers.

Aonther great setting - that you might play again some day, if you're in Seattle again and I get a chance to run it - is the Traveller Imperium. The Traveller system back in the day was clunky, but having non-combat skills was a major innovation. My atttempt to bend Savage Worlds to the purpose still needs work, but maybe it will fit the bill eventually.

I know that I am one of only three or four people in the entire world who can say this, but my favorite setting for Traveller was always the Reformation Coalition.
