Favorite oldschool RPG, have you played it on here and if no why not?

What are some of your favorite old RPGs and have you given them new life on here?

AD&D 2e. Looking to get in a game. Or start one.

I have some 2E books, but never gave it a go. I do like that they had all non-combat skills as optional.

Currently running a 1st edition AD&D campaign, it's coming up on its 1-year anniversary. In the process of starting a D&D B/X campaign, I expect it to begin this weekend.

Let's see, my favorite old school game would be OD&D/Swords & Wizardry Complete and I've been running the campaign for just shy of a year now. Other games in the same vein I'd love to run, but haven't got the time: Gangbusters, Twilight: 2000, Flashing Blades and 4th Edition Pendragon. Gangbusters I think is ideally suited for Roll20. You'd get plenty of scheming and discussions via the game forums, then figure out who needs to do what during game time. If necessary, use different Google+ groups to keep the feds from knowing what the bootleggers are doing. Time to get the box off the shelf...

For maximum crunch, Fuzion (with atomik plugins) for sure. Probably won't run it here since it takes a lot of work to customize it for whatever I'd want to play and I'm on a fantasy kick instead of modern/sci-fi (which I feel is where it's strengths lie w/o the atomik magic plugin). For laughs and drunken gaming, Tales from the Floating Vagabond. Also haven't run it here since I'd need to meet the right group of players and there's no place on roll20 to sit down, chat and get a feel for people. Darkurthe Legends was a lot of fun but it is from the OLD school of game design and needs like 50 hours of work to make it not feel like playing an old nintendo game XD

Vampire the Masquerade. Current game I have been running is approaching it's 9 month mark. Greatest advice I can give to other Storytellers, Lasombra and good players make the most potent combinations. Poor Sabbat never saw him coming.

I would love to run Chaosium's Stormbringer but I think it is out of print. It is set in Michael Moorcock's Young Kingdoms, the home world of Elric of Melnibone and his demon-sword, Stormbringer. It's early BRP (Basic Role Playing) before BRP was formalized into it's own system. I would also love to run Hawkmoon but it is even more obscure! It's also a BRP Moorcock setting (Eternal Champion). I have both games ... and have never met anyone else who has them. HA!

Elric was a short campaign I was in and Hawkmoon was a one shot demo (This was a long time ago also.)

D&D (BECMI), AD&D 1st Edition, AD&D 2E, and related clones and simulacrums. I play them on here, yes.

Stormbringer and Hawkmoon are great games. They also made a game called simply Elric (not the later Mongoose version), which improved the core system greatly but made significant changes to demon summoning. It was more balanced, but lacked some of the character. Still a great game though. My list of favourite old school games includes Runequest, Ringword, Stormbringer/Elric, Traveller, Chivalry & Sorcery, Aftermath, even the earliest edition of Rolemaster. Later generations of games include Hero Games/Champions, GURPS, Space Master, World of Darkness (for the concepts not the system ugh), Alternity, and Fudge. These days, i mostly play soime variety of Fate or any of a number of indie games which definitely dont qualify as old school games. So, I have played a lot of really old games (that's a partial list, just the ones I've played a lot). But i find most of them are really dated, and could do with incorporating some developments of later generations of games. I'm planning to play a few of them with a couple of friends to show them what older games used to be like, but otherwise, i have no desire to play most of the older games again.

I would love to play either a Mechwarrior/Battletech game or a good ole Robotech game.
