[NO POLITICS] What are you most excited to play next?

GeekEclectic · June 08, 2020, 06:40:14 PM

Legends of the Wulin, Blades in the Dark, Urban Shadows, Godbound, Hillfolk, and Stars Without Number for sure. Cortex Prime maybe, but that'd be a lot of work.

If I do a one-shot of something published by someone else, I am edging toward Mothership. I've heard so many good and interesting things about the game. After being let down by the Nemesis boardgame (beautiful, flavorful, but ultimately meh), I'd like to see how Mothership actually plays.

Quote from: jeff37923;1133177Not a game precisely, but I'm putting the call out for people to show up for a Session Zero and the group will then choose from a selection of RPGs that I am willing to run.

Which aaaaarrreee...?

Quote from: Spinachcat;1133175New RPG playtest! I'm approaching the end of my rewrite and I'm excited about bring the damageplan to the battlefield. I retooled a bunch of stuff and its going to be fun to see how it actually plays. Solo runs of the mechanics are cool, but watching what players do with the mechanics and setting is the best (and often painful) lesson.

Gonna do any online playtests? Asking for a friend.

I'm running D&D5e right now, and while I don't really have time for a second game, I have a few that are buzzing in my head.

In no particular order:

Savage Rifts (unlikely to ever happen as some of my players really dislike Savage Worlds)
Eclipse Phase 2e (mixed interest in my group)
Soulbound (the mechanics look nice on a readthrough, but the setting isn't really grabbing me)
Polaris (the setting is awesome, but the mechanics are crap--one player wants me to run it with Genesys and another with GURPS...neither of which really thrill me)

Quote from: insubordinate polyhedral;1133144Oh yeah, I need to read my copy of Wolves of God too. Probably in the same boat though. Is SB&CS' toolset useful enough that you'd recommend it as a general purchase?

While the meat of the game is The Black Hack at it's core, the author clearly studied many of Kevin Crawford's works. Diogo Nogueira is a step less abstracted in his content creation tables with a lot more implied setting than something like Stars Without Numbers or Silent Legions. It's adaptable enough that you could run something like Star Wars, but something a bit more gonzo or pulpy fits the feel better.

I'm already running and playing a ton of games, but two more I'm excited to run are:

1. The Lucanii Drift 'Star Trek' type sandbox campaign, probably using Mini Six/Open D6.
2. 5e D&D Odyssey of the Dragonlords, Greek Myth setting - planning to run that probably once my 'Princes of the Apocalypse' campaign ends in 12-18 months.

I've started tooling up to have another go at running The Whispering Vault (I managed a couple of short sessions with it years ago when I first got it). Nothing too ambitious to start, but I'm playing with some patient old friends who like the same sort of weirdness I do.

Spinachcat · June 09, 2020, 03:59:50 AM

Please post about your Whispering Vault campaign. I read the game years ago and it seemed very interesting, but I never got the chance to play it.

I'm planning on running Five Torches Deep in Yoon Suin, the purple land.

Massive culture shock for my DnD focussed group.

spon · June 09, 2020, 06:11:10 AM

I'm starting up CoC campaign, London 1920s, hopefully a mix of old and new players.

Five Torches Deep is a great little game. I only picked up the pdf recently. Nice Idea with Yoon Suin as well.

Crusader X · June 09, 2020, 07:51:09 AM

We've played D&D 5e for awhile, but my group is willing to give more old school rules a try. I've been wanting to tackle the Stonehell megadungeon, using Basic Fantasy or B/X.

I also want to give The Black Hack a try, running it with some old TSR modules. I'm not too sure how my players and I would grok it, though. Has anyone here played The Black Hack and found it too simple?

rgalex · June 09, 2020, 09:22:45 AM

I was going to run the new edition of Over the Edge for a few friends at GenCon. One of them was going to run Fate of the Norns and I was looking forward to that. Neither of those are happening now though.

I'm setting up to take my turn at the helm of our gaming table in a month or so. I've offered to run any of the following: Torg Eternity, Outbreak Undead, Alien, Forbidden Lands or Iron Kingdoms.

What I'm dying to run, but not really my group's thing, is either the new edition of Kult or Legacy - Life Among the Ruins w/ either the Generation Ship or Worldfall setting.

Ghostmaker · June 09, 2020, 09:39:03 AM

We finally finished the slogfest that was Starfinder: Dead Suns. God, I'm so glad to see the back of that campaign. Bleah.

Next campaign will be a Rifts campaign using Savage Worlds. Knowing my group's penchant for wacky hijinks, I fully expect the other characters to be weird as hell

Pip Game Studios · June 09, 2020, 10:12:36 AM

I purchased Clockwork Dominion a couple of years ago and would like to run it, but haven't had a group interested in learning it yet.
