I plan on running some demo games for an upcoming release that Assassin Games is working on, probably going to go live in a month or two.
I am running a game called "The Few" <a href="http://www.story-games.com/forums/discussion/19089/the-few-game-about-battle-of-britain/p1" rel="nofollow">http://www.story-games.com/forums/discussion/19089/the-few-game-about-battle-of-britain/p1</a> Also, a Old School Hack game that is on hiatus <a href="http://www.oldschoolhack.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.oldschoolhack.net/</a> Working on an Aces & Eights game, but may use Boot Hill 2nd Ed. <a href="http://www.kenzerco.com/aces_n_eights/" rel="nofollow">http://www.kenzerco.com/aces_n_eights/</a> I have a Roll20 game ready to go for Poison'd! The pirate RPG <a href="http://theunstore.com/index.php/unstore/game/3" rel="nofollow">http://theunstore.com/index.php/unstore/game/3</a> Just started a Swords and Wizardry Game set in a gonzo fantasy setting heavily influenced by Geoffrey McKinney's Carcosa <a href="http://www.swordsandwizardry.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.swordsandwizardry.com/</a> So, as you can see "Other" is most if not all of the games for me and my players.

Sorry that I was not clear. I wasn't asking for any links. I wanted to know, for purely selfish reasons, what systems are being played as in at this moment, not a month from now or maybe using this or that for the game. Thanks for the listings. I'm running Basic Fantasy RPG What is everyone else running right now that is in the listing of "other"?

Basic Fantasy RPG for me, too. BFRPG is a modified, modernized clone of early D&D / AD&D, and it is a free download from here: <a href="http://www.basicfantasy.org/downloads.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.basicfantasy.org/downloads.html</a> Since it is a free download for the rules, BFRPG is a good game to play on Roll20 and offer the free rules to players who are new. I normally tag BFRPG games as both "Other" and "Old School Revival" (yes OSR is a viable tag listing on Roll20 games list), and also "Original D&D" and/or "AD&D (1st and 2e)" because honestly, these systems all combine and overlap nicely. All these games attract generally the same sort of players-audience.

I'm running Unknown Ponies: Failure is Awesome, which is based on Unknown Armies; neither game is on the list, although the former I'm sure has a much smaller following!
Adventurer Conqueror King System is what I'm running at the moment. I may have to bite the bullet and try and cobble together a character sheet soon also. In the past I've done EverQuest and Castles & Crusades.

Wow, I didn't know that there was this many different systems were being ran. Is there anyone else running something not on the system list that they have to use the tag "Other"?

WEG's The Price of Freedom Covert Ops by DWD Studios Risus Swords & Wizardry Dungeon Crawl Classics (although the OSR tag would be a better fit than "Other" for those two) FNG - Second Tour Hornet Leader II
Glad to see I'm not the only one running Pony games. We're playing Savage Worlds of My Little Ponies. Very fun.

I have a SpyCraft campaign I run, though we don't use LFG to fill it.

That is ok. This is a curiousity thing for me. I'm always wanting to know what systems are being played. There is alot of them that I never heard of so it gives me something to research on the web.

FantasyCraft, part of the MasterCraft system which is related to SpyCraft. Actively DM'ing that one. Very cool that someone is playing Adventurer, Conqueror, King, always wanted to give that a try.
