Title: Simple Questions
Post by: jrients on February 22, 2008, 11:46:14 AM
What is the last RPG you played?
What is the RPG you hope or plan to play next?
What RPG would you like to play that isn't feasible right now?


I'll go first.

The last RPG I played was OD&D, a couple weeks ago.

Next week I plan on running clash's In Harm's Way: Aces in Spades.

I'd really like to try HackMaster and Andy Hopp's Low Life.  Neither is in the cards right now because I'm still recruiting and/or trying to get my regulars to warm up to them.  Also, another member of the crew wants to run a post-apoc game, so that makes Low Life look redundant.

Right now (tonight, in fact) would be my Rifts campaign that I run.  Though that is almost finished.

Next game up is, I think, AD&D 2e.  So far, haven't heard much about what the person running that one is planning on doing.

What I want to do is run Dark Heresy at some point in the near future.

>> What is the last RPG you played?
Burning Wheel on Wednesday, Dark Heresy 2 weeks ago, last Sunday did an inbetween-RPGs boardgame, Talisman (we actually finished! and I kicked hoop :) )

>> What is the RPG you hope or plan to play next?
Sunday == Riddle of Steel + ??? (short a member so we aren't playing DH, maybe it'll be card game or boardgame?)
Wednesday == something so top secret I don't even know yet what it'll be and I'm GMing (playtesting)
One week from Sunday == Runebound if I can convince the waitress from the local pub to join, otherwise second session of Riddle of Steel
Two weeks from Sunday == Dark Heresy + Burning Empires
When Dark Heresy flames out for that group I'm hoping for some pirate action ala Freeport or similar. But we haven't even talked about it yet.
When the Burning Empires campaign is done not sure. Maybe Traveller or maybe Harp. Or back to Riddle of Steel for a bit if the first sessions of it are strong.

>> What RPG would you like to play that isn't feasible right now?
In Harm's Way (one of them, any one of them)

I haven't gathered all of the players yet and the one of them that is prime player material is out of the country for another year+. But I really want to give this puppy a spin.

The last RPG I played was D&D 3.5.  

The local convention -- Gryphcon 2008 (http://www.gryphcon.org/) -- is in a month's time, but they haven't listed what games are running... so I can't say if I'll choose RPGs over boardgames.  If someone were running Savage Worlds, I wouldn't mind trying that.

I'd also like to get Space: 2477 a bit more developed and run some play-tests with that.

With 2 small children, I usually find boardgames work with my schedule more than RPGs do.  It's also easier to find boardgame players.

In Harm's Way: Aces in Spades intrigues me.  I might take a look at it.

Right now I'm running (in the abortive, hate the rules, want everyone to say they don't like the game, don't know what to do in it, use of  the term) Exalted.

But I'm currently working on an Amber campaign (i finally decided to go with that instead of Scion) which I'm quite excited about.

Games I'd like to play but which aren't feasible - don't think there are any (unless you count that game where I'm the Sheik and the other players are my harem).

As a player:

Playing: Dark Heresy.
Want to play next: A homebrew system a friend of mine is working on.
Want to play but probably won't get to: Rolemaster - I like the system, but nobody in my local gaming scene is even slightly interested.

As a GM:

Running: REIGN.
Want to run next: AD&D 1E (with mass combat rules cribbed from Rules Cyclopedia D&D).
Want to run but probably won't get to: Tales of Gargentihr/Skyrealms of Jorune. In both cases, I suspect the settings are so alien and different that the barrier to entry would be too high.

Champions/Hero System (finished end of last year).

Fudge for a homebrew setting.

For the near future, playing any RPG isn't feasible until the new baby gets a bit older.  So I'd like to play in the game my group is currently playing without me using Fudge as a system.  In a more general sense, I'd love to play in a Warhammer FRP game or Necromunda-based Dark Heresy game but don't know anyone likely to run either.

THE LAST GAME I PLAYED was Castles & Crusades, last night, with my wife.  

THE NEXT GAME I HOPE TO PLAY is either more C&C or Star Wars, with the D6 system, the way Goddess intended.*

THE GAME I WANT TO PLAY BUT CANNOT is any game that I don't hafta freaking run.  Seriously, someone else run something for a damn change!

*So it came to pass that Dr Rotwang! sought to know what The Goddess Eris thought of using D6 vs. d20 for playing Star Wars.  Thus he fasted for 5 weeks and partook of no hot dog buns, and upon the last day of his fasting, he traveled to the holiest place in Hoosierville, which is in his closet, where the ties are kept.

"Goddess!" he said to the tie rack.  "I have come to you in search of an answer.  I prefer using D6 for
Star Wars, but many of my fellows are seduced by the d20 version.  I have fasted for 5 days!  I mean, weeks!  Please," he continued, "if I am wrong, send me a sign!"

He stood and waited for a while.  No answer came.

"Screw it," he said, "I'll do whatever I want to."  He walked out of the bedroom, past the cat, and into the living room, where his D6 stuff resides.

Thus he was enlightened.

D&D 3.5 Living Greyhawk in November.  Between Thanksgiving and April is a roller coaster ride for our family due to the holidays closely followed by a series of birthdays.

Next up - CodCon in April.  I think Hinterwelt will be there and I've made the offer to play in pretty much anything he runs - Squirrels and all! I love Bill, in that way that only a man can love another man...from afar.

Hmmm...I don't know what I'd play next - I'm too busy working on Dunfalcon (http://www.d20haven.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4)  and it's history (http://www.d20haven.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=47) :D in moments between real life.

I hope to play Providence soon again since a friend ran it last weekend.


I'd love to play Qin.

Last played: B/X D&D before New Years.

Hope to play next: aside from hopefully getting in more occasional B/X, there's a game of The Blossoms are Falling which is sort of in limbo after the prep session, maybe we'll get to it.

Like to play, not feasible: Define feasible--my biggest constraint is time for me and the people I game with. But in sheer terms of looking yummy to me but probably a hard sell for others, I'd say Waste World is a good candidate.

Hope to get my Aces & Eights campaign up and running by early March, but possibly may due a Veggie Tales one-shot before.

Oh man, the list is long.  Right now I'm hyped about A Thousand Suns, Starblazer Adventures, Dogtown (with the new lighter rules) and that's just off the top of my head.

Scion, started as mortals and fast approaching demigods. If GMing doesn't count, the last RPG I played was Warhammer Fantasy. We started as starting characters and I'm now in my 3rd career, almost to 4th.

We've got Dark Heresy scheduled for tonight. I'm looking forward to it.

Quote from: jrientsWhat RPG would you like to play that isn't feasible right now?

I'd like to try Amber out, but I don't think it's got enough game in it to suit my group. I'd also love to play Hackmaster again, but it's got too much game for most of my group.

Zachary,

Given the interesting thread on Bronze Age, and given that one of the first things I got information on when I arrived at TheRPGSite was Epic (Kent was very helpful!), I'm extremely curious about this.

Epic seems (just from my cursory knowledge of it) to be pretty well tied to the setting (in the good way).  Perhaps anotehr thread? My first curiosity would be how difficult was it to alter it for your Bronze Age-ish setting?

And Kent - one of these days when my credit card is not so burdened, I swear I'm putting Epic on my shelf.  Sometimes I take a while, but I get around to things sooner or later...

What RPG would you like to play that isn't feasible right now?

Returning to this question, as I didn't have time to answer it above, in a way I could run anything (other than work constraints until April which stop me running anything, which is why I just play presently), the group would I think give anything I wanted to try a fair go.

The issue is that I have too many ideas, and it's not feasible to run all of them.  In the past fortnight I've wanted to run (in no particular order of preference):

Bronze age historical fantasy
Delta Green
Conspiracy X
Historical naval action
Modern day crime
Flashing Blades
Elizabethan espionage action
Victorian conspiracy
Victorian adventure (as in tracing the source of the Nile, fighting in the great game)

And each one comes into my head with enough detail to be tempting, but not enough to be playable, and is then knocked out by the next.  And of course, if I run any of them I'm not using that slot to run my Traveller game.
