Poll - Satai's Library of (mostly) Unread TTRPG. Which would you be interested in playing (GM or player)

[SataiRolePlayingGuy]

I briefly discussed this on the General Discussion thread.  Over the years I have picked up a library of TTRPG books.  Some I have had since childhood, some more recent acquisitions.  I did read some of the childhood collection for fun, mostly reading the lore/player options/treasures/monsters sort of thing.  But never played any game like this (though as of writing this I am preparing to get into one that is not part of this list).  Dipping my toes into actually playing this sort of game.  I decided to see how popular the books I had were, whether people were interested in playing them.

This is not a short term project.  This will take me some time, to read up and see how practical playing them are.  Will see about giving vote options for playing as GM or player for each.  Already being familiar with the game system is a big plus, but at that phase I don't consider it a requirement.  If you aren't, will try to figure out the best way to bring you in later, as I figure things out (or we try to figure it out at the same time).  People who already played in RPs with me are also a big plus, and may possibly influence the final decision, but the poll is open to everyone.

I'll break it up into several questions.  One for if you like the idea of playing as a player, one for being the GM, and one to let me know if you already are familiar with any of the systems.

 

Copying list, with small notes I wrote on the other thread:

 

1st edition AD&D (a few corebooks and one setting box), plus a few 2nd edition setting boxes.

MERP (Middle-Earth Role Playing), big mix of 1st and 2nd edition.  AD&D 1st edition and some of the MERP was the part that was originally my dad's, but I built on the MERP.

Rolemaster.  Core books.  Could maybe be called Advanced MERP, without the MERP built in (though it is compatible with MERP, and MERP books have stats and such for using with Rolemaster but can also be played with a few other settings or player invented settings).

Mekton.  A anime-mecha inspired system, setting invented by the writers.  A more recent acquisition.  Have not read much of it.

Star Wars (West End Games).  One I read quite a bit as a kid, developed at a fun point in franchise history, before the prequels were made.  An early developer of the old "Legends" expanded universe.  I had actually made a club dedicated to this.  But without much interest, deleted it since I needed to free a slot to take over a different one.

Babylon 5 (D20 system).  Based on a (semi?) obscure sci-fi TV series in the 90s, source of 'Satai'.  Bought the full set, should be fun to at least read at some point.

Dune: Adventures in the Imperium.  Game based naturally on the book series of the same name (like I said in the last post, a whole lot of licensed setting books, the ones that aren't are the exceptions).

Maid: The Role-Playing Game (one of the few exceptions to that, along with Rolemaster and potentially AD&D).  Single book focused on exactly what the title implies (though I believe there are some other options to play).

Tenchi Muyo! RPG and Resource Book.  Single book, based on the anime of the same name.  One that has grown much more obscure with age.

The last question is a "pick one" list.

Ah, good thing that was caught before anyone voted.  Got that fixed.

Also, all questions require an answer, so you might want to add a "None of the Above" in case someone would love to play in several games they've heard of, but doesn't want to GM them, or vice versa.
