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 games do you wish you were playing right now?

Which makes me sad too, because I was eagerly waiting for it as well.

Oh yeah, no prob there, you haven't shattered any illusions of mine. I'd pretty much given up 99% hope of seeing Gundam Mekton published long ago. But part of me wants to think there's still a 1% chance that it will be published...

Just finished a target number assignment system that puts 3e and C&C to shame. To shame, I say! And the best part is that it exactly parallels the hit tables in Men & Magic.

Any chance you'll make this available to the unwashed masses sometime? :cool:

Right now, I'd like to GM:

~ A classic Rules Cyclopedia D&D Mystara campaign (including B10, the best module ever, and the epic X4-5 quest).

~ A free-wheeling C&C Wilderlands campaign (starting near Modron, and eventually including the City-State of the Invincible Warlord).

~ A Rolemaster 2e/Classic campaign using the old ICE Ardor campaign module (adapted to a non-ME setting).  Ardor is probably my favourite campaign module of all time, but I've never had a chance to run it.

~ An Angel (Cinematic Unisystem) campaign using some Call of Cthulhu adventures (since I'd be using Angel, though, the PCs actually might succeed ... or at least not go mad).

All Flesh Must Be Eaten because I ordered rtye damned thing a month ago from Amazon and because I picked free delivery they've still not despatched it.

Mutants & Masterminds which I've wanted to play for a long time and now a mate's going to sun it once I finish my current Warhammer campaign.

I wish I was playing the fucking game of Burning Wheel we've started. We were supposed to pick it up last Thursday, but one of the players has got chicken-pox.

The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak, eh droog? But hey, having someone wiling but temporarily unable to play isn't bad, having no-one willing to play it is bad!

Yes, I can't blame him, I suppose. We might actually be playing at the plague house, as all of us think we've had it before. That's dedication!

That is indeed dedication. It reminds me of my crazy GURPS-playing friend from Montpellier. Once the afternoon before the game session he called me up, "Last night in volleyball I twisted my knee, apparently I've torn some ligaments."

"Ah," I said, "So we'll miss this week then. Have you been to the doctor? What's the prognosis? A few weeks off? That's okay, just let me know when you're ready to game again. Would you like a visit anyway?"

"No, no, I'm not calling to say I can't play. I just can't drive with my leg like this, can you come to my place this time? I don't need my leg to roll dice!"

Now that he's got a new daughter, of course, he can't play. If it's just himself he can deal with it, when it's another person it's harder to compromise and organise ;) So I'd like to be playing GURPS fantasy or postapocalyptic, and so would the Montpellier guy, but...

Still, these are dedicated players!

I'm a GMing addict, so my list of games I'd like to run is much, much longer than the list of games I'd like to play.  Heck, I'd run that Steampunk Musha game for Rick if I had the SM book and the Iron Gauntlets book...

I'd [Particularly] Like To Run:

Angel (Cinematic Unisystem).  I've got the skeleton of an entire series based on the episode "Why We Fight" (5.13), but I need to buy the rulebook and convince my friends to watch our DVD collection so they can get as enthusiastic as my wife does about it.

FVLMINATA.  I'd probably use a different system, like GORE/BRP, GURPS, or Wushu, but someone at the big purple suggested running a Roman game with a Cyberpunk attitude - "Grand Theft Auto" meets "Gladiator" - and it has infested my brain ever since.

Transhuman Space.  I have a lot of books for it.  I have a vague concept - like "Babylon 5" meets "Lost" aboard a Stanford Torus space station vague - and a notion to run some hard SF.

Deadlands: The Weird West.  I'd probably use Coyote Trail to run it, but since I own just about every book published for that game, it'd be nice to actually run a campaign which would allow me to use them.

Over the Edge.  Because it's chock full of cool, and I was a big fan of "Twin Peaks" back in the day.

I'd Like To Play:

Classic Traveler.  I never played it, and now I feel like I've missed out on some huge chunk of nostalgic experience that I have to have before I can consider myself a proper grognard.

Amber.  I read some of the first novel.  I'd like to play in a game with a GM who's familiar enough with the novels to bring it to life for me.  I mean, it seems interesting, from what I can gather.

Planescape.  Again, seems really cool, but I think I need someone really into the setting to introduce it to me properly.  It seems like something I'd like.

Spirit of the Century.  I've gotta find out what all the fuss is about.

Unknown Armies.  I may regret it, but I've just gotta know.

Mutants and Masterminds.  I'm quite satisfied with my old Marvel Super Heroes RPG, but I'd like to see why this is so popular.  Maybe I'd like it more; who knows?

Savage Worlds, Core Elements or Microlite20.  Something fun, fighty, and fast.  That would be pretty neat for an evening's entertainment.

Burning Wheel/Empires, Dogs in the Vineyard, Primetime Adventures...
Any number of smaller press games that just sound really cool but that I don't own or know how to run myself.  I need someone to introduce me. :D

Ohh, yeah.  After hunting down as much info on that setting as I could on the Internet (which is quite a bit, actually), I've got an itch for becoming tauther...

David R is a big Jorune fan, we should force or bribe him to run a game for us online :D

A while back I was talking about "paying for reliability", saying that if the players contributed a nominal sum ($1-$5 each per session) to the GM, that'd make both GM and players more dedicated, less likely to just wander off after a few sessions - you value what you pay for, and what you're paid for, even if just a nominal sum.

Skyrealms of Jorune is a game I'd pay to play - at least with someone who'd obviously be a good GM, like David R.

I am Jorune fan, hear me roar!

That's an interesting idea.  I can see that it would certainly work - if I were paying to play, I'd be squeezing that game for every drop of vicarious adventurey goodness I could get.  Being a starving, married student, that is. :D

I can appreciate that.  If I recall correctly, it was a post that David R. made explaining Jorune that got me into it in the first place.  So that would be pretty cool with extra groovy sauce.

I still want to play Mechwarrior.
Or Battletech.
Preferrably both.
