Help JC figure out what to run!

For the first time in a while I'm sorta between ideas and inspirations. I also have a few systems sitting around begging to be run. That leads to a glut of options and luckily I have 5 or so weeks to create the game.

So give me an idea of what game you'd like to play in by voting in the poll. Many of you already know how I run. For those that don't: My games are usually very rules light (no matter the system), a little on the wacky side and I concentrate a bit more more on character interactions than plot. I have no problem railroading in a one-shot and I really like it when players make me think on my feet and change things up.

EDIT: Please try and choose no more than 3 options. Thanks!

I voted though I don't *really* care in the end. I'm good with fantasy too but I do get to play that... Superheros I don't love only because I want to be like Jean Gray and super powerful and not have some crazy "I can fart chickens" power. I played in a PBP game that I loved that was Supers but it had to be developed.

edit: I voted sequel, I was thinking Ghostbusters (I'd Dread for that) or pulp. But I'm easy.

Thanks for the input.

I already did a weird-esque supers game with Shazbot (which I think you played) so a new one would most likely be something akin to the Avengers power level.

I just realized that my most popular game (Dread GB) would be very hard to create a true sequel to considering all the death. Heheh. I don't think any group had less than 2 fatalities. And in at least one, everyone died. Gotta love Bubba.

That's what I figured... I had no clue how you would pull that together!

In our run, we had no fatalities til I think the last or second to last pull, and then somehow got two deaths. But I think that was our problem... if we had someone die earlier, I think the game would've played a bit better. Probably didn't help that we had to have a couple people do questionnaires at the table without having watched GB for years.

I voted for scifi, supers, and horror.

I voted Horror and Modern Action although I'd be happy with pretty much anything you ran. I'd be very curious to see a JC horror game that didn't involve Ghostbusters.

I just realized one problem... I probably won't be playing in your game since you usually run Saturday PM and I will most likely not be playing in a game in that slot so I can take care of food and whatnot.

I'd love some SW -- you're planning on running this game on Saturday afternoon, correct?

Yeah. Sucks for me, as that's when I posted my game, and I seem to be fated to keep missing your games of late. I wasn't for sure you were going to run yours, and I wanted to play in Rob's on Sunday.

You are running a game? Really? For real?

Sci-Fi action! Chicks with mohawks, manacles, and machettes!
