Looking to join or start a game of/with...

[Arkhandus]

......either Shadowrun 3e,
Chronicles of Ramlar,
Star Wars Saga,
Arcana Unearthed/Evolved,
Player's Handbook II or Book of Nine Swords,
ENP's Wild Spellcraft or Secrets of Theurgy,
GR's Advanced Player's Manual,
Oriental Adventures or Rokugan d20,
EverQuest d20,
Mutants & Masterminds 2e,
DSP's Third Dawn,
DSP's Untapped Potential,
material from DSP's Untapped Classes line,
or material from DSP's Mind Unveiled line.

Really, just anything I bought myself for GM's Day or that I've had lying around my shelf for the past 1-3 months or 1-5 years unused. Except that I haven't read enough yet from the Imperial Age, Steem & Steel, The Fantastic Science, or Elements of Magic (R/LA/ME), so I'm not ready to do anything with those.

Of what I've listed, I've only actually had the chance to play SR3 a few hours in total, DMed a single OA/Rokugan mini-campaign, played a Dragon Shaman in one adventure, DMed for a Dragon Shaman in one campaign, played a Crusader for 2-3 sessions and a Rogue/Swordsage in one PbP, and DMed for martial adepts in one adventure. Almost all my active RPGing experience is with 2e AD&D and core 3e/3.5e D&D (it's sad that so few I've played under actually allow anything beyond the core); and nearly all my non-core 3.x experience is from DMing such stuff myself because nobody else would.


So, c'mon, guys and gals. Is there ANYONE running games here with any of those books/settings/RPGs (and a slot open), or anyone else besides me who's interested in those right now?

I'm not entirely averse to just DMing/GMing it myself, as usually ends up being my only recourse, but I'd really like to play with something besides core 3.5 for a change.

...........Anyone?

 

[Atanatotatos]

I think the forum is more focused on 4th Edition at the moment. Ever tried it? If you feel like it, try visiting the link in my sig.

 

[hafrogman]

The forum is open to games for any system, I think it's just that this thread lacks any kind of focus.

Seeking a DM as a player is always difficult. If you want to run a game for most of those systems, you'll probably find players. But if you want to play, it's all up to the whim of the DM.

And that's a big list of possible systems. I get where you're coming from, but again, you're more likely to attract attention if you just pick one and run with it. That way, people have a better idea of what they're getting into.

From what I've seen around, you're most likely to have success with any of the D&D stuff, and the M&M. There are also games of each being run around, so you may just have to watch for openings. This isn't to say the others won't work, but it's less certain.

 

[GlassEye]

I feel your frustration. I've a bunch of cool stuff that I've never had the chance to use, too. So, I'm interested but I don't think I have the time to do more than play right now. Of the items on your list, I'm most interested in Arcana Evolved or Elements of Magic, revised (+LA and even though EoM is on your 'not ready yet' list). I'm open to others.

Hopefully someone else will also express interest and/or DM.

 

[Arkhandus]

No, I'm not the least bit interested in 4e, but thanks anyway. And there's plenty of systems represented and discussed on EN World.

I tried soliciting players for Ramlar, but got very little response, and no commitment. I do plan on running M&M here at some point, but don't have a story arc ready for it yet. If I try soliciting players or GMs for a single system at a time, I'll just spend weeks or a month with no responses again between each attempt.

I'm just trying to find folks to play non-D&D or non-standard-D&D with, whether it's me GMing or someone else. It's just so hard to find a non-D&D group (or a non-core-D&D group online, for some reason). All I've seen around here that isn't classic, core, or 4e D&D (beyond the many aborted games other GMs have tried to start) has been one or two WoD games (not my cuppa joe), two or three M&M games (which are always full), and two or three D20 Modern games (only one currently active and full AFAIK); plus two SWSE games (full) and one CoC game I forgot.

No, I'm not the least bit interested in 4e...

Apparantly, that's not specific to D&D even.

Shadowrun 3e

It's just so hard to find a non-D&D group (or a non-core-D&D group online, for some reason).

I believe that most online D&D 3E/3.5 games are non-core, actually, or allow non-core material (i.e. not in the way, that core-classes are banned; which would be a bit more extreme view of non-core).

Non-D&D is rare on these boards, however. This is still a D&D-focused site, only a fraction of the discussion goes beyond D&D, so that seems quite natural.

Maybe expanding your sites would help there... there are plenty generic online gaming sites, like RPoL, available.

[Arkhandus]

I don't have any SR4 material. *shrug*

And of course by non-core I mean just anything that isn't restricted to core 3.5. I've seen hardly any games here in the past few years that weren't restricted to core rules + maybe a Complete X book or two in some cases. Even though there are plenty of D&D books and D&D-with-different-window-dressing games around, like OA/Rokugan, Arcana Unearthed/Evolved, or EQ d20.

I'm not familiar with any other PbP sites other than Play-By-Web, which has a terrible set-up and code-base.

 

[crazy_monkey1956]

Monkey is planning on using more D&D stuff (including PHB2, Tome of Nine Swords and Oriental Adventures) eventually. Monkey has a limited budget however.

I also plan on running Star Wars Saga Edition soon-ish. I have that book, I just need to get around to reading it.

I'd like to be able to get into the other stuff on your list, but Monkey's game budget is such that I limit purchases to what I know I'll be able to get players for, so, D&D for the most part.

 

[Voadam]

Arcana Unearthed/Evolved,
Player's Handbook II
EverQuest d20,
DSP's Untapped Potential,
material from DSP's Untapped Classes line,

If its these I'd have an interest but it would depend on RW stuff at the moment.

I allow them (and more) in mine but both of those are full right now.
