This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What new adventure themes or environments are you itching to run?

Could be court intrigue or "whodunits", running an underwater adventure, or seeing a grand battle for the fate of the world in your game. Could be something with flying mounts as in Volant, a Space Hulk survival game or some fights in 0 G. What type of places, situations, themes and concepts would you want to run in your games but haven't for reason XYZ?

I want to play superheroes in space.

I haven't yet, because I haven't finished the book yet.

Oh yeah good one. I'd love to do space supers.  Even more so whenever I watch the opening sequence of Legion of Superheroes.

Best music of any opening sequence ever.

I imagine once the Guardians of the Galaxy movie comes out this summer space supers will become all the rage.
New! Cyberblues City - like cyberpunk, only more mellow. Free, fully illustrated roleplaying game based on the Fudge system
Bounty Hunters of the Atomic Wastelands, a post-apocalyptic western game based on Fate. It\'s simple, it\'s free and it\'s in colour!

I want to go back to Steel Isle.

Been playing so much in town and intrigue and teenage angsty magic college....all fun and all, but Steel Isle is primal gaming territory.
Currently running 1 live groups and two online group in my 30+ year old campaign setting.

Still waiting for Bloodshadows to arrive. :(

There's a few I want to run but foremost, I want to run my military/exploration SF game set on a ringworld.  It's not Niven's ringworld, but one as massive. briefly, the remnants of humanity schlep across the stars ala Battlestar Galactica and settle on the 'ring, having no resources to go further.  The ring seems tailor-made for human and human-like species, is 1,000,000 miles wide and how many ever miles around, some automated system keeps things from entering space on the inner ring side (it shoots them down, so no extra-atomospheric flights or recon satellites, it's part of a meteor/comet defense system built into the ring), so finding out more about the ring is a trying task.  I've thought of three separate "eras" a group could adventure in: first colonists, where they are literally just arriving and exploring after the colony ships touch down, years later in the "expansion" phase where human settlements are established, and are just starting to see signs of other sentient species in the ring, and finally the third era: all species within a reasonable distance of humanity have made contact, some for good, others not, and plumbing the depths of the ring-makers is now the overriding scientific goal.

The other...I'm not sure of its potential as an RPG, but here it is anyway: the Big Rip is coming, only it's coming a lot faster than anyone thought it would.  Whole galactic superclusters have started to disappear out of deep field observations.  Flickers of civilizations trying anything, burning the energies of whole local star groups to try and hold off the end of everything are now being observed by some here on earth.  It's estimated that the final destruction of totality itself is still some years off, but it is coming, and there's nothing that can be done about it.  At all.  The players are agents of science, aware of what's going to happen, the question is what does humanity do in the time it has left?  There's nowhere to go, no rocket ship capable of outrunning the end of all things, nothing like that.  The Powers That Be would like it kept quiet as long as possible so that the Earth might die quietly rather than in horrible agony.  Armed with that information and (almost) limitless resources what do the characters do to maintain that silence?

The last one is a bit more tr&A^%T&[DATA CORRUPT]ing reports about a kind of [DATA EXPUNGED][REDACTED] and moving.  [REDACTED] is a major theme, here, but [REDACTED][REDACTED]IIIIIFFFFFFFFFFFF....  #?[DATA CORRUPT]

itching to do

i) An Avengers style Supers game - tie to Shield super spy stuff
ii) Fables using an Amber diceless engine
iii) League of extraordinary gentlemen - victorian but spice with stuff from the glass books of the dream eaters
iv)  Zombiepocalypse one off but where the PCs prep characters for a more mundane gome so it plays out as a game with a plumber, a teacher and a librarian verus the zombie horde as opposed to a bunch of special ops guys

However time is limited so running my stront game for a few more sessions then I might pitch for a break and a try numbers i and ii on this list.

Fugheddaboutit. Wish you lived closer. . .

I've been on an Old West kick lately and I'm always up for WWII. Players aren't much for pseudohistorical gaming though, so fantasy it remains.

The Butcher

That's a big ol' list.

I want to run pulp CoC.

I want to run hard SF.

I want to run hard SF CoC, or some other shade of horrific SF like Eclipse Phase.

I want to run a swashbuckling game with no supernatural elements.

I want to run a swashbuckling game, or a Medieval one, with Gothic horror elements. Aquelarre looks nifty.

I want to run ACKS long-term, all tiers, with all the bells and whistles on.

I want to run gonzo science fantasy D&D.

I want to run Conanesque S&S. Probably using Runequest, but AS&SH looks sweet too.

I want to run a Hellboy-like game of hush-hush weird supers in WWII.

I want to run Day After Ragnarok again.

There. I think I'm done.

YourSwordisMine

I want to run a game lasting longer than a handful of sessions, is engaging, fun, and most importantly memorable for years to come.
