Interest Check for Harrigan's Next Short-Form Game

Right, with my Knave game nearing conclusion, I'm starting to think about my next short-form game on GP. Many ideas, as usual, but I've boiled it down to the following:

Barbarians of Lemuria -- prepare for swords, dark sorcerers, vile slavers, merchant princes and all that goes with it. Loincloths required for admittance.

Tiny Dungeon -- minimalist fantasy adventure, likely using one of the spiffy micro-settings in the back of the book. Heritages include humans, fey, dwarves, karhu (intelligent bears), goblins, tree folk, salamar, and lizard folk. Pondering sky ship raider action, where a deadly mist has covered the land and the PCs raid sites that briefly emerge from the mist...

The Dead Are Coming -- survive the zombie apocalypse as long as you can using some light but very well-crafted modern OSR mechanics. Expect combat, resource management, interacting with other survivors, and difficult decisions aplenty.

Blood and Snow -- wonderfully low-tech ice age survival adventure using the Index Card RPG. Fight a cave bear with a stone-tipped spear! No magic, but some neat spirit-world stuff.

Return of the Woodland Warriors -- animal adventurers quest and explore in a world without humans. Play a badger, dormouse, hare, hedgehog, mole, mouse, otter, raccoon, or squirrel as you struggle against an environment filled with wonder and danger. Uses a simple d6-powered OSR mechanic.

Whichever of these I end up firing up, it'll be a limited-run kind of thing -- we'll discuss a duration / milestone to play to at the outset. A scenario or an episode of a potentially longer series, if you will.

Anything look juicy?

Bood and Snow looks pretty juicy. I wouldn't be available if you started that one until the end of next week though.

As much as I love you as a player and would love to play in a game you run, nothing here is quite for me.
Still, I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a game. Harrigan is a great player and I'm sure just as great of a GM

No worries -- not on any kind of tight timetable, and depending on which game I green-light, there might be a little refreshing / prep on my part as well. Really just looking to see if there's enough interested in any of them...

Thanks for the kind words, bowl, and no worries! There will be other games, including the larger Symbaroum thing I'm planning...

Zombie survival is a genre I love.

Can I apply to all of them? :D

I do like Zombies though!

You can, but I won't be running all of them! At least not at the same time. Interested noted, though, with a little extra omph for the zawmbees...

Woodland Warriors (#1) and BoL (#2) would get my votes!

I'm throwing my hat in the ring for The Dead are Coming and Blood and Snow, those two sound interesting!

Sadly I'm unable to participate but just dropping a comment to say it all sounds very cool! Have fun, guys!

Returning to this, I think I saw the following votes:



Looks like Blood and Snow and The Dead Are Coming are in the lead, so let's narrow the field to them. Does that change votes for some folks? @KaeJae, does that knock you out totally? Folks who haven't expressed interest yet are welcome to speak up as well -- ideally looking for 3-5 players, depending on the game selected. (The zombie game can support more PCs, I believe.)

To reiterate, this will be a short-form, one-and-done kind of game, likely lasting a few months before wrapping up. Looking for a post a day or so from folks, and I'm happy to teach the two (quite simple) systems.

Hmm, either of those could be interesting. I've played a lot of ICRPG so that's very familiar territory. On the other hand, I've never been in a zombie apocalypse.... I'm good with either. :)

I can work with that. Have some travel coming up this week, so it'll probably be the weekend before I get anything stood up. But for those that have expressed interest, stay tuned!

ooo, late to the party, but Barbarians of Lemuria would get my vote if you're still looking for people

I think that ship has sailed, but I obviously want to run it or it wouldn't be on this little list. Maybe after this next game, which is leaning zombies, I think...

After walking zombies and running zombies, now the newest trend: leaning zombies!

no worries!

...but it's a galley full of ill-mannered slavers, and it will return to these sandy shores! BoL is a fabulous and underrated game, IMO. I will run it at some point.
