Jeff Jones had a terrific idea. I thought that given it's scope, we should have a discussion about it. Here is the original idea:

The people at All Games Considered have being doing what they call an RPG buffet. They eat lunch and play a game. So, how does that make it different than any other RPG session. Well, each time they meet they play a different RPG. They also tend to work on old-school games, and going through the various versions in order (like D&D).

How many people would be interested in a 1x per month getting together to do a one or two shot game? DM can change for each game.

Some Games that I have and/or had eperience with:
Gamma World
1st Ed DnD
Advanced DnD
Aftermath
Morrow Project
Star Frontiers
Star Ace
Boot Hill
Traveller
Space Opera

I could do it, but probably not every month. Of course, that is the nice thing about having one or two shot games. I would even DM some of the ones I would be familiar with

Here are some games that I own and am willing to run:

Gamma World (need to check edition)
Traveller
Traveller 2300 (quite a bit different from the Traveller game)
RoleMaster/MERP (ICE) (this one has a very cool way to handle damage - very entertaining)/
RingWorld
Call of Cthullu
Star Frontiers


What I would download and run:
Rune Quest (SRD's are available)
Aftermath


What games do you have to offer that you can run? Looking especially for older games.

What they (the AGC people) did is they ran EVERY version of DnD including the Oriental Adventures. Not sure if we can pull that off.

I am sure most people do not remember when elf and dwarf and halflings were classes.
