What would like to play?

My list is legion and ever evolving.
What do you mean by the experience you foster as a GM not lining up with your expectations? In terms of running a high-octane game?

For pbp, I'd like to do ALIEN as a player, or Mothership.

I also am kicking around several more games to GM. I'd like to do more Delta Green here. I'd also like to try The Walking Dead as a GM. Also Exquisite Replicas. And I've thought of trying to GM Bluebeard's Bride with pbp - it's my fave game but I have no idea if it would translate well to pbp haha maybe not.

eta: ohhh and I'd love to play or run a weird West game with a Deadwood vibe. Don't know what I'd use as the base, maybe We Deal in Lead.

I'm confident that someday @Adam will get to the end of the adventure, even without some player *ahem* who circumvents several encounters by casting fly on a walrus

I see this question from few perspective:
1. I still have some systems I would like to experience: Shadowrun 3rd edition, 5 Torches Deep, Alternity 1st Ed, Shadow of Weird Wizard, Outgunned, Pirate Borg

As I'm one of those persons that claims that good mechanic, can induce a certain "feel of play" too. It's not only the RP and GM skills.

I wonder if:
- Shadowrun 3rd edition - will feel well... like Shadowrun, crunchy, but logical and thematic (not like the later editions - as they say).
- 5 Torches Deep - will really feel OSR'y, but with modern and elegant (parts) of 5E mechanics,
- Alternity 1st Ed - is so unique, good as they say and how degrees of success will feel,
- Shadow of Weird Wizard - if the rules will feel as flat as they seams after brief looking through the book (somehow I did not feel it looking at SoDL rules...), but I'm more interested in player options that seam not convoluted and its setting (SoDL was big NO, NO for me:) ).
- Outgunned - will the betting mechanics feel like taking a risk and being a fast and furious action movie star? ;)
- Pirate Borg - mostly I'm interested in naval combat rules, but the simplicity connected with interesting options rises my interests too! Will it allow to become a reckless pirate that is not afraid to burn the world... to save it? :)
- Aether Nexus (sequel to Mecha Hack) - will it provide the feeling of piloting a magical mech (or feeling like Teknoman ;) ) ?

2. Adventures:
- Traveller: Mysteries on Arcturus Station - but using Alternity rules if they will be good?
- polish prized adventure for Coriolis that beggins with spaceship combat - that I always wanted to check, how it works in Coriolis,
- Coriolis: The Great Dark ruins delving,
- The One Ring™ - Moria™ Through the Doors of Durin - as player,

3. Wilder ideas:
- The One Ring (as this is my favorite ruleset) but modified do it would better fit for general fantasy, as Tolkien's mood is daunting for me and probably always will be :)
- meta game that connects i.e. Stargrave skirmish rules, with A Billion Suns: Interstellar Fleet Battles, with Space Crawl RPG rules - when result of skirmishes or battles on planetary level influence the RPG campaign and vice versa:)
- or connecting Frostgrave: Archipelago skirmishes with RPG campaign (probably with Tales of Argosa)
- X-com like campaign - based probably one T2K by Free League ruleset

This isn't the only thing I'd like to try but I was wondering about a player vs player scenario. Perhaps the characters are fighting (or otherwise competing with) each other in some kind of contest? Maybe the space they're competing in is large and they don't know where their opponents are? In this situation, the GM would tell them individually and secretly what they see and they would navigate the space and occasionally spot an opponent.

I haven't had much experience of RPGs, so I wouldn't be running such a thing any time soon and this probably isn't ideal as my next player experience.

I actually ran a D&D game a bit like that on here a while back. A god-like entity, The Grandmaster, collected elite warriors and put them in a series of 1 on 1 battles until only one victor remained.

It was essentially an excuse to run 20th level characters people would otherwise not get to play, and do some PvP. It was largely self-running (minimal GM direction, since the players knew the rules by and large) and a bit different. I've been considering a sequel, but haven't decided to pull the trigger yet.

Shadowrun 3e and Outgunned are both on my radar to play someday.

Same here. I'd prefer to play too, I think, but I have considered running something.

I've also considered running Trail of Cthulhu, Eternal Lies campaign, but I think I'd rather wait for the second edition of the rules (and possible boxed set of the campaign with extra stuff).

That and a PbtA megadungeon.

Not the action per se, simply the tone I have in mind. Players being their own stuff into the game and maybe that's better than what I envision, maybe not. Usually works out.

Aliens, Blade Runner from Free League or Terminator from Nightfall (but sadly the skill mechanic is way too complicated). Also like Cyberpunk, Western and Sci-Fi !

Well, of course, I'm up for almost anything Savage Worlds. I'm about Deadlanded-out and I don't care overmuch for Rifts, but I love pulp-style games. A Flash Gordon campaign would not go amiss (based on the 1980s movie, natch). I had a Savage Worlds pulp campaign going on here, but it died for lack of interest. Hmmm, maybe Legion of Liberty would be fun (superheroes in the American Revolution). I could also get into a Savage Worlds sci-fi campaign (since I Kickstartered the new Science-Fiction Companion). And a Weird War I or Weird War II campaign would be fun!

I don't, as a general rule, play 5e. I just don't care for it. I'm in a campaign now that is the exception, because I like the setting.

I like Old School Essentials, but I've about hit my limit on that for the time being.

Something with mutants would be fun, maybe Mutant Future or Mutant Crawl Classics. Or even some good old-fashioned Gamma World.

I also like Alternity, the original or the revised edition.

I recently acquired a lot of Cypher System and Numenera stuff (like all of it!). I haven't delved deeply into it, but if someone who knows the system would run, I would play.

I'm currently working on a megadungeon that, if I ever get it finished, I will run on here, probably for Pathfinder 1e or Savage Worlds.

PbtA: Apocalypse World, Masks, City Of Mists, maybe Avatar
McG: Stealing Stories For The Devil, Old Gods Of Appalachia, Invisible Sun

Things I'd like to try out playing:

Exalted, played/run in accordance with the pitch, not with the native system. That is, I want to try out a campaign that ditches/inverts the overused plucky-underdog narrative structure (and there are no system bugs that accidentlly make it sneak back in by way of Exalted Paranoia Combat -related anxiety).

Weird Slice of Life University Comedy. A step away from the usual world-threatening plots of RPGs, this would be something more petty-stakes. The level of weirdness, absurdity, and blackness of the comedy might range from something modest like in Nozaki-kun, through something like Better Off Dead, maybe even reaching Heathers level, but probably shouldn't reach full-on Illuminati University.

Gods and Monsters (FAE). Pretty much what it says on the tin, the game played as written. I participated in two campaigns of this, both of them ending sooner than they got past the first chapter, and I had fun, so I'd like to play some more.

Brütal Legend, or rather some campaign set in the same setting, or a lawyer-friendly-serial-numbers-filed-off analogue. Actiony wacky unorthodox fantasy with an excuse to keep putting on metal songs as character themes, inspirations for abilities, scenes, and so on. (Obviously the combat would need to be handled in a very streamlined manner for a PbP to maintain the quick-paced feel of the franchise.)

Aces in Space or Flying Circus, as written.

Something inspired by Cobra Kai. The kind of action dramedy with a lot of rivalries, and lots of fights but usually very nonlethal stakes. (Obviously the combat would need to be handled in a very streamlined manner for a PbP to maintain the quick-paced feel of the franchise.)

I've been in 3 or 4 Amber Diceless games on PbP and they worked really well but, frankly, I don't like the actual Amber universe with elder Amberites, Amber, and the Courts. It just feels played out to some degree.

I'd love to play the system but play the Elder or Poetic Ettas (Ragnarok), or Mallorean King Arthur, or something not Amber that fits well with the rules.

I'd also love a system or game set in South Asia using historic South Asian folklore rather the European based but don't feel I am comfortable enough culturally to get it to feel right if I try to GM it.

I know the feeling—and I actually lived in Southeast Asia (Hong Kong) and my wife is from there. But aside from drawing the occasional kung fu gal clad in a qipao, I don’t use much from her culture in my games because I fear I won’t do it justice.

Well… that and any game I run is like a B-movie at best.

Heh. I think my favourite D&D games feel like B-movies where they blew the budget on special effects and had nothing left for scriptwriters.

Good Society is a great shout, especially given that its the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's brithday in 2025

I'd like to play Sprawlrunners, Alien, nWoD Hunter, Blue Planet, Delta Green or Mass Effect with a small team, no more than three players.

How about some surrealism - Invisible Sun (has anyone ever actually played this monster of a game?) or Itras By?

From the website: "Our Last Best Hope is tabletop roleplaying game about a crew of people on a mission to save humanity from a terrible crisis. During the game, you and your friends will play through a classic disaster movie, like Sunshine, Deep Impact, The Core, or Armageddon, where your characters are the stars. Each game is unique, as your group confronts a new crisis with a new set of characters and a new plan to save the earth."

It just seems like a fun "we're not all going to make it through this" kind of game that has the potential to explore themes like sacrifice, perseverance, facing your own mortality and leaving a legacy, moral dilemmas, hope vs despair, and other fun themes :)
It does seem like a lot of work. I'm hoping the new Ahu Tiiko will give me more to build upon.
