What would like to play?

Each game uses its own bespoke system, very individual. They seem medium crunch, and well designed to support their respective settings.

KCC and I have a bunch of those Osprey Games, Dr_B. Some of them feel like they weren’t playtested, but agree that there’s something compelling about them. I mean, Osprey knows how to make nice books.

One of the issues is that most of them are one and done — no support after the initial publication. One exception is Jackals, which I think is a *hugely* underrated game…

Hey all, I hope everyone is doing well. Before I ramble on let me just say...


Anyway, I've taken quite a fascination to the Savage Worlds system so much so that I am hoping someone would run a beginner friendly game so I can get enough hits and misses to get my feet all sweaty. PF or Eberron preferably in terms of setting but since my objective is to learn and earn more about the system so I won't be really selective. Even a short escapade similar to the Test drive adventures would be just wonderful. (I might get impatient a tad bit since I'm old and just open up an IC threat to see if folks would be ok if I run a SW game as noob GM). As a side note I've done time being a DM or GM with a couple of other RPG gaming systems so I'm not coming in completely blind or crazy.


Also, I may go the same route of running a DnD 5E starter adventure for D&D5E (2024 Free Versions), probably with Frozen Sick, Lost Mine of Phandelver or Intro to the StormWreck Isle as a beginner DM for 5E specifically (I'm coming from an ADnD 2ed and 3.5 background). Ok rambling over. Cheers everyone!

Happy Halloween, everyone! Man, there is so many games that I want to play. The list goes on like this: Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4th edition, Warhammer 40k: Imperial Maledictum, Cyberpunk Red, Traveller 2nd (Mongoose), Shadow of the Weird Wizard, Blade Runner RPG, etc.

I am mostly interested in Pathfinder 2e but i would like try different games as well. However, currently I don'f have funds to finance all the rule books :)

I'm interested in a wide variety of things, but my biggest interest is in the horror space. World of Darkness, Call of Cthulhu, etc. I've got a lot of experience with Cypher System, Savage Worlds, and PF / DnD as well!

I've been craving for a SAGA game for a while. Alas, it won't happen again

I'm running something weird and it looks like I should be playing something pretty cozy soon. I think my only other major wish at the moment would be something with like a Planescape vibe or something kinda wacky/ganzo? I've got this tengu/kenku that I always like to bring out of retirement when I can--gosh I might be willing to even using Pathfinder or 5e to bring her out even though I do not like crunchy games.

Alternatively, I'd be pretty down for running a super simple dungeoncrawl ala Tomb of the Serpent Kings for someone using GLOG or another OSR adjacent system.

Can I interest you in this?

I’ve actually looked at and considered it a number of times, but the rotating dm aspect (while really really cool) is something that I don’t think I have the brain capacity for at the moment.

Fair enough.

One weird one I've always wanted to actually play is to try to play an alchemist or possibly a kabbalist in FGU's "Chivalry and Sorcery." They are so detailed and attempt to be so high fantasy historic as to make me wonder whether the system is actually playable at all. I always used to use it as a sourcebook when I was playing back in the day, but although we went so far as to create characters for a game once, I never met anyone who actually had played it.

I have a romantic notion of rebooting Stargate

But lack the motivation to carry it past the movie.

I'm interested in an exploration-adventure game influenced by the movie Labyrinth and the old Prodigy game of the same name (as well as various other sources). I keep considering running it in various lines - I feel like Pathfinder, GURPS, or Earthdawn are the best fit - but I've never really run a game before and I'm a bit... cautious.

Labyrinth seems like a charming idea, but I'm not sure how viable. Character concept: a goblin who stole a piece of the Goblin King's title when the latter flew, and as a result now enjoys a toned-down version of his powers and looks, but is not used to that kind of thing.

I'm leaning more toward a game influenced by the movie rather than a direct copy. Ultimately it would be about finding the treasure at the top of a great tower, but being tested along the way. Like a cross between the movies Labyrinth and Cube, I suppose.

I'd also really love to play some more Numenera. The only game I managed to join in PbP failed after the first combat.

One game I'd love to play is the DND Tomb of Horrors. I've read that module years ago (forgot most of it by now) and always wondered if the character I played from level 1-20 with years of playing with that character and acquiring all sorts of goodies would have a chance and surviving that awful dungeon.

The main thing I remember from that dungeon is that Gary Gaygax wanted to make players realize that no matter how awesome your character is, they are not all powerful

In the old rules, the end boss is almost unkillable, there are multiple places where your character can be just one shot. I dislike it. No one wants a character you have played for years - "I look in this portal - GM: Your disintegrated."

I have never found dungon crawlers that interesting. Particularly in PBP.
The slow pace of pbp and the long back-and-forth between gm and the trapfinding players makes it an long drawn experience
