Title: I NEED to run this game!
Post by: Frank T on April 05, 2006, 05:07:11 PM
I would really, really love to play much more than I actually do. Here's the games I have already finished reading and absolutely NEED to try out:

The Shadow of Yesterday
The Shab-al-Hiri Roach
The Ancient and Venerable Art of Tippling

How about you?

Not easy, but I'll try.  Restricted to games that have been released in some form.

Legends of Alyria
My Life with Master
Primetime Adventures
With Great Power. . . (Whoops, almost forgot the ellipse)
Burning Wheel
Dogs in the Vineyard
Trollbabe

Probably some more that I can't think off the top of my head.

Shit. . .  Any indie-gamers in Columbus?

I need to run Kayfabe: my group had done character creation, promotion creation, and all the prep stuff (http://www.indie-rpgs.com/forum/index.php?topic=17927.0), but then everyone got busy during the holidays and after things had settled down one of the players backed out because he "just wasn't into wrestling anymore".  It saddens me to no end that all those great characters remain unplayed...

I have Heroquest and Trollbabe... I just need to convince my group to try them.  (They've promised they would, but it keeps getting put off...)

Sorcerer
West End Games D6 Fantasy

In that order definately but I am having real problems finding players for Sorcerer.  I have read that book and all the supplements over and over since I picked them up a couple of months ago.  It is so frustrating!  Are there any players interested in a game of Sorcerer in the North West of England?  Maybe that is a topic for another thread...

That I own: Burning Wheel. In a mad, painful way I have to play this game. Given that I'll only play with people I know (or people recommended to me), and that my social group is at the low-none end of the gaming regularity spectrum, it's going to take a while. Dammit.

That I'm too broke-ass to own, currently: Sorcerer and Capes.

Trollbabe's high on my list.  I made a character with my girlfriend and the chargen is red-hot.
Drifter's Escape looks like a whole lot of fun.
Under the Bed remains unplayed since Gen Con, which is a shame.
Nine Planets is taunting me from the shelf.
InSpectres is shamefully unplayed and I bought the bound book at Dreamation.

Hm, that about does it.

For me, these days it's all about what I need to PLAY, not run.  I'm getting a little burned out on running, I think.

Cool Andy,

In the spirit of your post, I would love to play in the following games during the next year.

Conspiracy of Shadows
Burning Wheel
Primetime Adventures

What is on everyone else's wish list for playing?

The actual text of the OP was about playing or running, only the title says run, so I figured most of us posted what they want in in any capacity.

Mortal Coil sounds like fun.
darkpages seems nifty.
Dust Devils Revised is a must, very possibly with the Ronin setting at the table with my father.  He'd dig that.
Galactic, because the guy who wrote PTA will have their games played and played by ME.
Stranger Things...did I say that one twice?

More will pop into my head as I go.

I don't have enough gaming days in the week.

My next year of gaming is already full.

More TSOY. It is... how you say... the BOMB.
Galactic. Hoo baby.
Nine Worlds. I can't wait.
Stranger Things. Yeah, I'm dying to run my own game again.
Mazes & Minotaurs
Polaris
Conspiracy of Shadows
The Roach

Plus all those things drifting in the ether that we'll get in the next year or so: Drifter's Escape, something from Vincent, Luke's thing, Paul's thing, Ron's thing(s)... jeez. It's a giant pile of goodness.

I need at least two more game groups.

My New Year's resolution was to play these three games:

DitV

The Mountain Witch

The Dragon Killer

I already played tMW and I'm unsure if The Dragon Killer will be released this year? So that leaves Ditv... But then I bought TSOY and I'm planning on playing that as a campaign. Yay - an honest to god fantasy rpg-campaign! First time in years!

/P

TSoY
