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.

I'm up for running a game if anyone wants. I'm gonna use my Dawnlands setting to give it a whirl. But 4e is a bitch to run on PbP, so we'll use some other system instead, just with the same setting, and maybe a few houserules if we need them.

Some ideas:

Runequest III
Labyrinth Lord
Unknown Armies
nWoD
Iron Heroes

Anyone interested?

A Goblin\'s Progress, or Of Cannons and Canons;
An Oration on the Dignity of Tash, or On the Elves and Their Lies

I'm cool with Iron Heroes. Just finished up a big campaign we ran with it.

For those who want to know a bit about the Dawnlands without reading the entire thread, a basic primer for PCs is available:

Labyrinth Lord's free to download legally.

http://www.goblinoidgames.com/labyrinthlord.htm

It's the one I'm leaning towards personally, just because it's quick and easy to run.

Edit: OSRIC's another possibility. Once again, free to download from:

Interesting. I could go for either three systems (IH, OSRIC, or LL), but would it really be harder to run 4E than IH? Also, assuming you run OSRIC or LL, how will you be handling dragonborn, elves, and tieflings?

I'd run 4e if someone could point me to an electronic whiteboard / gridmap that we could update that wasn't too technically demanding (my computer is ancient and tempermental).

If we do OSRIC or LL, I'll fudge things. The Tiefling and Dragonborn packages can be converted over, probably looking more like their 3.x version.

Hm. Maybe I want to run two games here. I'll start two new threads.
