potatocubed posted:I ran a bit of GMD once upon a time, but I didn't really get what pastoral roleplaying is supposed to be about. When things worked out, it absolutely sang, but mostly it felt like I was struggling with the system a lot. I'm relatively comfortable with pastoral roleplaying, but I suspect it's because most of my early roleplay experience was the online chat-room "here's a bar/city/haunted hotel underneath the earth/other oddly enclosed but mostly mundane location, bring in some weird dudes and just have them interact, no particular plot/only emergent plot from the consequences of PCs' actions" format. GMD really rings that nostalgia bell for me, but has the added bonus of all the PC options actually being the kind of ridiculous, overpowered, delightful lunacy that I wasn't playing as a teen because I was too self-conscious and trying too hard to be "good." Really, I should probably just run/play it with the same people I used to game with on IRC, but a lot of them are uncomfortable with mechanical systems and I'm not sure if even Chuubo's is too much.

Zeerust posted:Whenever I finally finish running my Godbound game, I'm really jonesing to offer to run Mutant Chronicles for my group, the 2d20 implementation seems interesting. The other Fragged games are very slightly refined compared to base Empire, but aren't really radically different. Think like the difference between PHB1 and later D&D classes, versus a whole new edition. Though ostensibly FE2's coming at some point here. TBZ really hits a sweet spot between crunch and flowing narrative for me, and I highly recommend running a game.

My to-run list is actually relatively short right now, since I've got an OSE campaign in the works with actual dates on the calendar and most of my attention has been pointed in that direction, but I really want to run Liminal Horror (hack of Cairn, itself a hack of Into the Odd, meant for modern-day horror) and run? play? Thousand-Year-Old Vampire.

LaSquida posted:How'd that Weapons of the God's game go? Great. Once you get into the rhythm, combat is a breeze. The players loved that the Lore sheets tied them into the background of the world and really started getting into the Chinese Drama vibe. It ended in a spectacular battle with the party leader winning the final faceoff but still dying gloriously and tragically just like the player wanted to. edit: I would also like to play or run, Lex Arcana, Broken Compass, and the new Aliens RPG and of course...

I would absolutely love to run or play tons of games, especially Legends of the Wulin or Mage the Awakening. I kind of thought I'd be able to get back to gaming shortly after moving but lol. My office is still just a jumble of computer poo poo on a desk and boxes of books next to empty bookshelves.

S o many good games already listed. I'm probably going to be playing 13th Age for another year or three, but when my other group materializes I'd love to get some Fria Ligan to the table, or Lancer. One day I want to play Masks, but I don't have the right group for teenage angst. But that's the dream. PurpleXVI posted:Spellpunk Cyberfight What the hell...

My longest campaign (tho this one was easy as it was only 2 players and me as a ST) was Vampire the Requiem that run for roughly 40 sessions + 10 games of the "sequel"

Games that I want to try running/playing: Flying Circus Hard Wired Island Spirit of '77 Spire Transit Scum and Villainy Monster Care Squad Spellpunk Cyberfight, where I would rule table like Amberline Emperor ... and about twenty other things, if I could pull my group away from our long-running D&D campaign for just one second.

Especially ironic since it was based partly on D&D in the first place, but the series classes and gameplay certainly has grown into its own distinct identity. I'd say you could still probably get away with a D&D-like core, and translate a hell of a lot of the signature mechanics and jobs, but would possibly have some focus on combination moves... and I wonder what might be a more sensible and fun way to incorporate summons into a game.

Hiro Protagonist posted:Okay, I have to ask now, what the gently caress is Spellpunk Cyberfight? Unironically the best, most positive, funniest and most inclusive RPG I've read in the last several years, despite being based on 5E D&D rules. I'm currently reviewing it in the F&F thread, I'm only four posts in or so and there's still roughly half the book to go, though I'm not sure how dense the back half is now that we already know what bizza, humans and spacecasters are.

Ghost Leviathan posted:I still do wonder what a Final Fantasy RPG could be like. Especially ironic since it was based partly on D&D in the first place, but the series classes and gameplay certainly has grown into its own distinct identity. For me it has to be something that feels like a final fantasy game, which is... nebulous but to me it's about forging friendships, travel, cool monster fights, grand destinies, and so forth. All of the specific trappings can be reluffed onto any system (my Cure Light Wounds is actually me summoning Sylph, who is a spirit of healing, etc), but the particular feel needs to be there. Fellowship seems like it'd be a good choice, but pbta systems aren't my favorite for game concepts that would involve a lot of fighting. I could see Tenra Bansho Zero and in fact I believe one of the translators/editors was working on suggestions for that? but it'd need a lot of refluffing, which is okay. Ryuutama could work, but it's a little combat-light. There's a lot that comes close, but nothing that scratches that particular mental itch. I basically constantly wish FFd6 was good or FFd20 didn't take the very worst practices from 3.x DND homebrewing.

It's not, no, there are certainly worse, but it's also not a system that I generally had a good time with (some of that was NUMBERS, some of it was playgroup, some of it was balance being nonexistent).
