Still completely interested in running a game here, recently signed on to Keleth's D&D game Sunken Secrets, but am still willing to run one of the above games. Not so interested in running the L5R game right now as its roleplaying style is intensive to run and I don't have the energy for that right now. Perfectly able to run the other ideas though, here on the forum as a pbp. Also would really like to run this following idea, as I have already run this game in person using this system so it would take less intensity on my part, plus I would like to see how a better group might play it out.Numenera - A game by Monte Cook set in the far far far future of earth. Human civilization as we know it has collapsed and humanity in its current form extinct. Eight great civilizations have risen and fallen since ours. Each civilization lasted longer than the last and many of them have created wonderful technologies that humans of our time could never understand. Now a new civilization is rising from the ashes of the fall of the eighth. This new civilization is very human like (basically is humans) and is still in its early stages. Technology and society is at a basically medieval understanding yet it augmented by the various bits and bobs left over from previous societies. The world is left genetically altered, lush with technology that barely works and barely understood. Tiny nano robots continue to autonomously maintain much of the previous societies technology. Some people have a strange almost innate connection with the nano robots and a mental uplink with a satellite network they do not know even exists. These people called nanos can manipulate these things and perform miracles and magic. Great warriors are descendants of genetically modified experiments or have been infused with nano technology early and life making them capable of inhuman feats. Others get a bit of both worlds. You are one of these incredible individuals, you must struggle to survive in a ruthless upcoming civilization surrounded by incredible technology or numenera that very few understand. Newly evolved beasts, ancients robotic constructs, and strange genetic experiments from a world past stalk the land. Ancient unstable technologies are there to plunder, being used in ways never intended to improve the lives of your people, or conquer others.
Numenera Adventure Idea - The Human Hive is an civilization built in the half buried hull of an ancient spacecraft buried in the great wasteland known as The Golden Sea. You have always lived in the Hive though your ancestors crossed the Golden Sea after they were banished from their homeland many moons ago. Barely surviving the great prophet was guided here by visions of the gods. Upon discovering this shelter and the gods whose images were carved upon the walls of the great Hive the prophet settled here. For many generations your people have survived in this paradise, fed by hunting the beasts that roam the desert and by growing food in special chambers barely understood by the people. Given water by great machines that extract moisture from the atmosphere, but now those machines have failed, and the storage tanks are running low. You being one of the great and powerful individuals described above are selected personally by the Queen of the Hive to find water Beyond the Golden Sea and save your people.
