RPG Talk: My current games
Jan. 26th, 2007 02:58 pmFor some reason, I feel like posting the current/upcoming roleplaying games in which I am involved.
7th Sea: From the Depths
Schedule: Bi-weekly (every other Wednesday night), 7pm
My Partners in Crime:
hansandersen,
preciousjade,
yurodivuie, Jason
This is the game I've been running for (I think) over a year now. It's gone pretty well I think, though it's had some ups and downs, largely revolving around players having to leave for various reasons and new players joining. It will be ending soon, to be replaced by Future Imperfect, a game of transhuman cyberpunk using Tri-Stat by way of Ex Machina.
Weapons of the Gods: No-Brand Heroes
Schedule: Bi-weekly (every other Wednesday night), 7pm
My Partners in Crime:
hansandersen,
lesleymac,
yurodivuie,
bookishelaine, Jason
I have a short list of games (usually various stripes of Indie) that I love in theory but have never gotten to play (or at least play to my satisfaction). Weapons of the Gods is one of those games. When Jason decided to end his fantastic Adventure! game (Terra Occulta) and replace it with a game of Japanese High School Martial Arts Drama (influenced primarily by the old Rival Schools: United by Fate video game, the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels, and a heckuva lot of anime), I lobbied pretty aggressively for WotG as the system. Also under consideration were Big Eyes, Small Mouth, Wushu, Feng Shui, and Exalted, but in the end, WotG won out, which makes me very, very happy. Our first session will probably be on February 6th.
TVRPS: Bureau 13: Stalking the Night Fantastic
Schedule: Weekly (every Thursday night, theoretically), 7pm
My Partners in Crime:
preciousjade,
grandmoffdavid,
yurodivuie,
covenantscave,
darklingrose,
jinasphinx
This is
preciousjade's game, which has been going on for well over two years now (maybe three?). It's been a good game, using a simple homebrew system designed by
grandmoffdavid. It's ending soon and will be replaced with a Steampunk game of some sort, using an as-yet-undecided system. I'm lobbying for Spirit of the Century, which is another game on the list that I mentioned above, but it's still very much up in the air.
Exalted 2nd Edition: Heaven's Mandate
Schedule: Weekly (every Saturday), 11 am
My Partners in Crime:
hansandersen,
lesleymac,
yurodivuie, Jason
jewjaydiction used to run this one, before he had to move back to Minnesota. When that happened, the courageous
yurodivuie jumped on the grenade for us, sidelining his character into NPC-dom to take over as GM. This game has been a ton of fun. It's also very unique compared to other games I've played in because nearly as much takes place off-screen (so to speak) as does on-screen, due to our game wiki.
Ars Magica 5th Edition: Arrrrrrrrs Magica!
Schedule: Alternating Sundays (2 on, 1 off), 2pm
My Partners in Crime:
yurodivuie, Robert, Joe, Laura, Chad, Steve
This is my second long-running Ars Magica game with this group. I think they've been playing various Ars campaigns (with a few members dropping in and out) for at least 5 or 6 years, if not longer. I've been with the group for around three years. It's a fun game, with occasional trade-offs as GM (as is somewhat typical for the system). Robert is "lead GM", and he does a great job of coordinating a long-term story with sudden connections and payoffs that turn up unexpectedly.
