What Pen & Paper roleplaying game rules do you usually use to play with your group? If you like, you can say how many times do you play during the months and also what are the modules\supplements you are also adopt.

"Back in the day" I played lots of PnP RPGs, D&D, GURPs, Champions, Traveller, Paranoia. Trying to get back into it with my girlfriend and her daughters, I'm working up a Mutants & Masterminds campaign for them (superhero game similar to Champions but more focus on the role playing elements and less on the whiz bang).

As you I've used to play D&D a lot, in particular 3.0 and 3.5, for many years (with some Vampire The Masquerade and Call of Cthulhu small adventures). But now, because of university's duties and the jobs of my friends, I can only run small campaigns of 5-6 sessions during holidays.

Now as player and Game Master, my favorite and main pnp rpg is Basic Fantasy Role-playing Game, a retroclone of D&D Boxes\AD&D with elements taken from SRD 3.5
Also is completely free to download and opensource with hundreds of supplements. If you like, you can support the game buying a physical copy from the Lulu.com store (bound copy or hardcover). I will use these rules for a campaign with Eschalon setting.

Sometimes I run, when I find available players, some sessions of The One Ring, the Tolkien world's RPG.

Right now I'm playing Pathfinder, the D&D 3.5 fork. D&D 4 just doesn't feel like the same system any more. I also enjoy GURPS, although it can be a tough transition for people used to min/maxing the heck out of characters in other systems.

Another system that I love after Basic Fantasy is Runequest, but I never had the chance to try out.

I'm running two play-by-post games at the moment, both are 2nd Edition AD&D. It's really the only system I know.

I forgot to mention Call of Cthulhu. Loved playing that game. There are others I can't recall at the moment, also. I have a lot of friends who work in or have worked in that business.

I'm 16 and have only been playing for about 3 years, but I've played 3.5 D&D, Rifts, Mechwarrior, Hero System 5th Edition, Vampire the Masquerade, and a couple others that I can't remember right now

Edit I've also played Gamma World and Superheroes Unlimited

That's the new version of Gamma World, right? Another game we played sometimes that I forgot about. Weird fun, that game.

What is Gamma World? How it works? The setting?

It's a post-apocalyptic game with radioactive mutation and lost technologies needing to be rediscovered and so on.

Like Fallout?

On post-apocalyptic setting a nice indie rpg is Apocalypse World by Vincet D. Baker.

I have played, AD&D 2ED, trying 3.5 but honestly it is really not the same. They have messed up the game. I also played rifts, Vampire, Werewolf, Cyberpunk, Shadowrun, cthulhu, Gamma World, Paranoia....that is all I can remember off the top of my head.

I am now, thanks to the late and great DL, playing some PbP on the RPoL.net website.

I've bought a long ago the ShadowRun 2.5 handbook, but I played only a couple of adventures (my game party usually likes fantasy settings).
