[QUOTE="ART!, post: 9072215, member: 79926"] I identify with all of this: played a lot of [I]Champions[/I] and Hero System back when that was all the rage, and I've run Masks and it's amazing. I would never run a [I]Hero[/I] game again, but I would play in one. I won't run [I]Masks[/I] again, either, but I'd play. As for my white whale: Something I've had in my head to run for a while now was initially a Middle-earth game, but I've accepted that my group doesn't have the investment in that setting that I do. So, I've just taken the concepts and started thinking about how to develop from there. Thing is, I enjoy GMing less than I used to; I like the [I]idea[/I] of GMing, and the development and tasks involved in prep, but actually [I]running[/I] a game just stresses me out these days. The concept was: the PCs are any kind of character who would have a reason to be at the Last Alliance's siege of Mordor at the end of the Second Age. Things play out with Sauron and Isildur as they do in the books, but by this point the PCs have risen in importance or are there in those final moments to render aid, etc. They become important members of Isildur's court, retinue, or what-have-you. From there th egame would involve political and personal intrigue, and missions to go take care of remnants of Sauron's forces and things roused by his shadow. Ans they would have to deal with a king who is slowly losing it. I'd like to run or play in a solid sword & sorcery game, but my group seems uninterested. I'd like to play in a supers game. An issue is that I don't do well in PbP games. By the time the game actually starts, there's been 100 posts and I've lost track of what's what and who's who, and/or I can't keep up with posts once the actual game starts. [/QUOTE]
