The Group is Back - Only Temporary

I ran into my partner in RPG Crime, Gurth.

It wasnt a long meeting, but we did agree that (a) we need to get back on our bikes and lose weight again (b) we need to start gaming again as well, even if it only lasts while my wife is away on holiday.

We are going to try and run as many one-offs as possible, big stories and big games.

Fiasco, Paranoia, 3:16, Polaris.

I intend to look through my RPG collection, especially the indie games and find something that works, even just one time.

L5R - Whats Next

Seeing as its not me who is running Legend of the Five Rings, it does give me a chance to reflect and get ready for next games to come.

I have the desire to finish the Freeport Trilogy as it has an ending worthy of the effort - even if the group are heading in the wrong direction.

But as to what comes next, well thats an open book as far as I am concerned, but I do have a few "pages" bookmarked.

Firstly, Serenity. I really would like another player or 2 to join in the boost up the crew numbers. There is a story to tell and I suppose Id be happy to finish that off with the current group, but I doubt I'll continue as part of the success of the game is the dynamics of the group.

Here are a few of the other games that I have chosen to run, and curious to know what other people think of whats on offer.

Werewolf: The Dark Ages - yes I know I said Id never run this 3rd part, but I find the idea alluring still to run a game set in the dark ages. Not because the skies were black, but rather the period of history where we know so little of the occurings.

Twilight 2000 - there are enough military and gun nuts in the group that this could be fun, I think having grown up in the 80s, calling myself a child of the bomb, its fair to say I'd like to run a game set in the era (which is now history rather than the future.)
Engel - angels and demons in a devastated future, I've wanted to run this the moment I heard about the game, let alone actually now owning it. I am not 100% sure Ill run it as a D20 game or use the Arcana system which is available online

Orpheus - a role-playing game about a ghostly detective agency, limited short run campaign written by White Wolf

Deadlands - carrying on from where we left off

I have a few one-shots lying around that might be interesting;

Judge Dredd - the original Games Workshop flawed edition

Paranoia - the new XP edition

&

Warhammer 40,000 RPG Demo Adventure - we are all fans of the WHFRP game, and this should just be a perfect extension of the game. I loved Fading Suns RPG, and this game will be even bleaker than that little effort.
