Burning Empires...

Not that I am currently running it, but it'd be interesting to see how you react to a game that is so swinish but yet oddly traditional.

I haven't read it, but if Omega World / Gamma world would combine to be like the original Gamma World then I'll toss my hat into the ring for that one as well.

Ok, let me clear a few things up:

First, I should have anticipated it, obviously, but really I (stupidly) underestimated the level of infantility here; I'm not interested in any suggestion of any of the games I'm notorious for hating.

Second, The Mystaran Immortal campaign would be great, but Sun Boy isn't around so that won't be happening.

Next, WFRP is a game I'm already running, if you hadn't heard, so that one is out too.

Here are ones I'm thinking of running:

I'd like to run a campaign in the Hollow World; its one part of Mystara we never really got to explore in my last D&D campaign.  I have a premise thought out, and I'd be using the Rules Cyclopedia rules, possibly with some add-ons from AD&D and (yes) Hackmaster.
Main advantage: coolness, clear idea what i want to do with it, all the wierdness of the Hollow World
main drawback: I might not want to finish it at the end of summer

I could do something with Amber; the recent talk in the Amber forum has made me antsy to run a campaign of this again.
advantage: its amber
Disadvantage: If I "Might" not want to finish HW at the end of summer, I would DEFINITELY not want to finish Amber. Also, to me Amber is a game you play with a large group; five players minimum, and six or even seven are better. I'm not convinced I'd be able to get that many players on a Tuesday.

I could do Cold Space: this would definitely be cool, but it would also be rather similar to the Traveller game I ran that is still pretty fresh in my player's minds...
advantage: something I haven't done before
disadvantage: I don't know if I could get the players for it, and I'm not totally sure what I'd want to do with it specifically.

Likewise, there's In Harm's Way, but I'm already running TWO historical campaigns, and I might be a little "historied" out.
Ditto with Hearts & Souls; I'm already running a Superhero game.

Finally, there's a number of either perennial favourites (CoC, Aquelarre, Deadlands, Omega World) or stuff I've wanted to run for a while without a specific gameplan (Continuum, Octane, Space: 1889, etc).

What I'd like to hear is ideas about what would be good to run for a short 3-month summer campaign and why, and if anyone has a really cool idea for a campaign in any of these systems, that would be good to hear too.

Finally, if Jong or Umasama should read this, I'd like to know what they'd think, and if any of these games/campaigns I've mentioned would make them say "I would move Heaven & Earth to play that game on a Tuesday".

Omega World is spectacular, and it could certainly be a fun, light "tuesday" kind of game.  I'm going to add that one to my serious consideration list.

Any well educated person

Grab In Harm's Way.

Grab Cold Space.

Grab Space: 1889

Read Johnathan Strange and Mr.Norrell.

Dig up the orginal concept for SJGames Hot Lead.

Fuse.  Play.

That's brilliant, Levi! I may do this myself!

It was buried in your list of "others" but I'll reiterate Omega World. You could go for a Dark Tower IV-esque feel to it. A group of young men from one of the last bastions of society are sent West to escape a coming war. However, the seemingly loyal little town they've been sent to inventory (as makework, mostly) turns out to have a sinister underbelly that's in league with the muties.

Will they find the threat?

Will they answer it themselves or run home to their mommies for help?

Can they stop it before everything is lost?

Let me see what I can think of. I do agree that we probably don't want to play something that is too similar to our current campaigns, and that whatever we play has to be short-term.

Is it too late to suggest Tuesday Night Wargames?

Disadvantage 2: I'd kill you.

Oh. That's right. That answers the question of why I don't like it. Ignorance is bliss.

Chinaman's right! I'll be around for a few tuesdays...

QuoteThat's a no-no. Alendalansuinel will be (I hope) at Antarctica, so no. Please.

You are that freaky elf player?!
Wow, honoured to meet you- :bow:

Was the name sounding like Alain Delon on purpose?

You can't go wrong with a D&D game that's based off of The Seven Samurai.  A bunch of low-level PCs vs. a goblin tribe, fighting over a village in the middle of nowhere?  C'mon man!

A game that's fun but which you can drop at the end of summer... How about some WFRP? If the characters survive to the end of the summer, they'll have earned a comfortable retirement; if they don't, well, problem solved!

Yup. I'm the walrus. And no, it wasn't, but it was a good mnemotechnia for the guy playing Sir Firearm.
