Commentary from another responder in the thread:
It's been over twenty - no, wait over Thrity years now but the RPG I most remember enjoying running as a GM (or whatever the game master was called) was Call of Cthulhu. What edition is it in now, the eighth or nineth? The players in my game weren't after piles of treasure or running up a body count - how can you when the better your character gets in the game, the closer it comes to insanity or a grisly, unknown death at the hands (claws, tentacles, teeth) of powerful monstrosities? They were a reporter, a cop, a highschool kid trying to solve a mystery and protect their city from evil. Then there was the Traveller campaign that was an endless independent merchant trip along the Spinward Main just to make money! Eeuuuu! Or the Star Trek campaign that never quite lived up to the TV show. { Okay, CofC is only in its seventh edition. But its bound in leather.} Hm, here's another image of RPGs. The character as "murder hobo." An itinerant who takes temporary jobs that entail lots of danger and mayhem. Which sadly also discribes the classic western "saddle tramp." Or private eye.
Gary Richard Damn, its flat here
