Panzerkraken's thread in game development forum reminded me.

I really want to run KViSR Rocks! adventure converted into any sci-fi system that is less awful than Living Steel (which is, almost any of them barring d20 modern or Rifts). But most probably Spacemaster.

To sum up the premise, it's a world devastated by an alien invasion. One of the surviving towns is basically a tiny banana republic, ruled by Generalissimo Puerco. The only resistance movement is led by a local underground rock station. Also, 90% of people in the town (and most of the world) are infected with an alien virus that turns them into violent psychopaths.

And there's something worse still hiding in the ruins, which is why your strike team is dispatched to the site to investigate. It may or may not have also been election time, or maybe it was just the usual sidebar quotes taking the piss out of the whole thing with stuff like "Even now, on the eve of Election Day, the campaign battle is undecided. But, inside sources say Generalissimo Puerco's forces have a strong lead, holding 26 of the 31 registered ballot stations."

Tagline: "Puerco just talks...KViSR Rocks!"

KVISR, Yell it, don't spell it!

If you wind up doing something PbP I'd gladly play, I'll figure rules systems out if I have to.

I haven't had good experiences with PbP. You ever tried IRC gaming?

Quote from: vytzka;577387I haven't had good experiences with PbP. You ever tried IRC gaming?

I've never done either in any kind of seriousness.  I tried the MacrossRPG pbp some, but then life overtook me and I never really played.  I own a copy of Fantasy Grounds, but I've never used it for any actual games.  I think that whiteboard and voip sounds like the best way to get something that approximates the feel of actually being there, but I haven't tried that either, tbh.

I'd like to run a GURPS Space Cthulhu or a GURPS Post-Nuke era Cthulhu.  But I don't have enough time in a day to put much detail in it.  I am reading HPL's stories though in the meantime to have my ideas ready when I eventually start on the project.

Beside my dream King Arthur campaign I mentioned previously, Benoist positive comments about Das Schwarze Auge in another thread reminded me that there are a few non-English games that I would like to play some time.  I’m probably forgetting at least five. So, this could be a way to organize a three season trip about Europe.

Agone (French)
Aquelarre (Spanish)
Das Schwarze Auge (German)
Drakar Och Demoner (Swedish)
Empire Galactique (French)
M.A.G.U.S. (Hungarian)
Schimmen en Schaduwen (Dutch)

Of these, the least heard of about here is probably Schimmen en Schaduwen.
Schimmen en Schaduwen

I'd like to run (no particular order):

Shadowrun 4E Missions
Traveller, CT or MGT, "Gateway to Destiny" campaign
Servants of Gaius campaign that BedrockBrendan's writing (give him some actual in-play suggestions)
HarnMaster 3E short game to try the rules
Another game that I know of that a friend of mine wrote, but I don't know what's happened to (don't have the rules anymore and don't want to give away what's not mine to)

Luckily for me, there is no GURPS setting.  So our players can choose the setting they'd like to role-play in and not really need to know that GURPS is the system I'm using.

I'd like to try running ACKs at some point, but I'd rather play in it.

I'd like to run The Company as well (although I'd also like to play in this one).

I'd very much like to run Stormrift.

Quote from: Bill;577241Eventually I will dictate the games I will run, but I am not at that stage yet.

I don't think that I could ever run a game that I wasn't enthusiastic about. I can play whatever the group majority wants to play, but if I am expected to run it, then it better be one I look forward to preparing.

It isn't all about dictating games, as either a player or a DM. If no one wants to play the games that you pronounce from on high then there there isn't much you can dictate.

What you CAN do is discuss the games you would like to run with the group and if no one wants to play any of them, find some players who do or just be a player for a while.

Not being behind the screen is better than going through the motions running something that provides much less fun for you.

I love supers games, but having run a 3 year supers campaign (with no end in sight) figure I need to spread my interests a little wider.

Not long gotten hold of DCC - that looks great from first glance.

Would love to find a group of dedicated Play by posters and run from 1st level BECMI or Labyrinth lord, Dark Dungeons, something like that, then see how far we can go. I'd house rule the experience system to keep advancement constant and reward commitment more than simply how many monsters you killed and how much of their stuff you hauled off. Tunnels and Trolls might fit the bill. I like MERP too. It would be set in the BECMI game world.

Star Wars the force unleashed. Need to get hold of a source book but loved the first game (on PS3). Stormtroopers range from fodder to badass with all sorts of gizmos they can call on, and the established characters (vader etc) aren't the most powerful force users around.

Mad Max/Post Apocalypse/Wild West game, probably after an alien invasion. Not falling skies, but rather small bands out against mutants, aliens, robots, brigands and crazies, doing jobs for communities, uncovering hidden caches of technology and so on.

Buck Rogers XXVC - the setting is great, AD&D 2e is ok. Just need to get off my ass and find someone interested (plus I need to re-read the rules because it's been a while...)

Anothers supers game, using a different system. Maybe Icons, BASH, Supers, Marvel Heroic (if I can stop my eyes glazing over when I read the book). There was a great battle, the good guys lost. All supers were declared outlaws and you just found out you're super powered. Tell your family, friends? Eyes are everywhere. You can try and ignore your powers, but at some point you need to make a choice, take a side. Stories of camps where people are being rounded up are hushed by the authorities. People are disappearing. Time is running out. They you found out they took your friend after he found out he could light up his eyes like a torch. The final straw was when a card dropped through your door, with the words 'Time to choose' on it. Someone knows...

I have a mountain of games, mostly unread, and not enough time at the moment

This, very much. If the GM isn't excited about what they're doing, the game quality suffers.

I'd like to run Radiance at the moment.

When I finish running the current chapter/episode of our 1920s Call of Cthulhu game I want to start running a late 1860s Coyote Trail game. I upped the PCs' starting stats somewhat by adopting the character creation rules from Mean Streets and we'll see if we enjoy the system. I have FJGames' Gunslingers & Gamblers for an alternative if necessary.

I saw Radiance mentioned on your vblog Tetsubo, but hadn't seen a review (I'm still getting the hang of my new digital toy--birthday present a shiny Google Nexus 7.)

What's it about?


I'm wanting to run Bulldogs Fate (I just got it.) Or try a hacked for a GM game of Cosmic patrol.

Although as I mentioned before I want to use my own take on the Star Frontiers Universe using Bulldogs. Unless I can find a bunch of people wanting to play old school Star Frontiers. (I love it but for the damage system which I mentioned elsewhere.)

I'm also wanting to run LEGEND, playtest Ogres & Oubliettes prototype some more, and get in a game of Hearts & Souls 2E.
