Thats pretty much me, except Horror, the closest I have come to Horror is running a Ravenloft Campaign.

Edit: Forgot to say I also use Traveller for my Sci Fi

I don't know what "Genre" they would precisely be put in, but I also like to play L5R and Shadowrun 4E.

Western: Aces and Eights

Post Apocolyptic: Twilight 2013, and hopefully Ruins and Radiation one day.

Modern: Twilight 2013

Right, you remind me that I'm wanting to try Traveller with my gaming group!

Until this last week, I didn't know about Car Wars. But people have been mentioning it in response to my talking about Le Mans.

Is Car Wars fun?

I think it's awesome in a Mad Max kind of way. Simple rules but lots of game play in there. Just be aware that you can't commit suicide with a handgun in the game.

In Car Wars, a character cannot commit suicide with a .44 magnum. Heavy handguns do two points of damage, which will knock someone unconscious. And if he's unconscious, the distraught soul can't try again...

Thanks. The computer game is fuzzying a bit in my mind, but I look forward to seeing the RPG/boardgame at the next GaryCON.

Hmmm...lets see.
Fantasy: Toss up - C&C Homebrew (AD&D 1E & OD&D mixed in) for most stuff, but for Lord of the Rings and (surprisingly) DragonLance I use the LotR CODA system (it does Wizards far better in my opinion).
Sci-Fi: WEG's D6 Space/Septimus/Star Wars 2E (especially for Robotech).
Sci-Fantasy: Shadowrun 4E (trying to come up with a Juicer-conversion from Rifts, I'm thinking of calling them Kamikaze's since the tech will be based off the K-10/Kamikaze combat drug).
Horror: nWoD
