Cthulhu
FATE Accelerated
I'm wanting to do the Appalachia game but got no one to play it with yet
Ironsworn

 

[Autumnal]

Currently: Dolmenwood, Shadowdark, Mausritter, and Stara Szkola.

I’m not familiar with that last one. What’s it about?

 

[Wofano Wotanto]

Worlds in Peril

What's that one like, anyway? I've looked at it a couple of times but never pulled the trigger, and I haven't seen a good review or actual play yet. One of relatively few supers games I haven't at least tried yet.

Dragonbane, Mausritter and a solo game about running a fantasy tavern called The Broken Cask. Pendragon 6e is rising on the horizon though…

Battletech.

PF1 remains my fantasy go to.
Traveller remains my sci-fi go to.

Battletech has been in my rotation since 1989, love that game and setting beyond reason.

Working on a chaos campaign for classic Battletech at the moment. Im using the Carver V campaign from Mechcommander 2 as the foundation. I can wait to start it!

Going a bit off topic here, but how does Lancer and Battletech compare?

I run Mothership periodically when our Delta Green GM can’t make it. I also just finally got the 1E boxed set, so that’s been cool.

Is it an ongoing Mothership game, or is each one a one-shot? I just got the new boxed set as well and am looking forward to at least running a one-shot with it.

Rules-wise im unfamiliar with lancer. Battletech is a 40 year old wargame that had some RPG bolt ons. On the surface BT has a closer to hard sci-fi setting and Lancer is more science fantasy. BT leaning more into the wargame roots, lancer leaning more into RPG side of things.

For example, my campaign has 8-10 players all making up their own company of battlemechs, vehicles, and troops. The play will mostly be wargame matches with units, with off the table roleplay and decisions to effect the planet currently being fought over.

Most folks just form units and have matches with no impact beyond what they are doing there and then. Im trying to elevate the BT RPG elements with my current group. BT also has a newer way to play called alpha Strike. This is an attempt to give BT a modern miniatures playstyle. I have heard it compared to X-wing minis game. I only play classic.

BT lore is deep and fascinating. I recommend Tex talks Battletech you tube videos if you want to know more.

Currently obsessed with building out a Blades in the Dark style game in Savage Worlds.

Running PF1 Wrath of the Righteous. When I decided to run this I had nostalgia goglgles on. I vastly prefer the SWADE Pathfinder game paradigm.

Potential games I’m looking into:
Dark Heresy/ Imperium Maledictum version of Masks of Nyarlathotep

Cohors or Acthung! Cthulhu. I’m just not sold on 2d20. My only experiences with it are a A!C one shot and the Fallout Playtest so I know I haven’t given it a fair shake. I love their IPs though and Savage Worlds would work for either one of those games (or GURPS).

Finally I’d light to run another Nights Black Agents style game. It was tons of fun. I ran it in GURPS and then SWADE last year and it was the best game I’ve run in years.
