Campaigns you hope to run someday before you die

[sellars]

Having said that, I always found them most satisfying when the GM explained that we'd be playing that sort of game up front...

OK, that is some good advice! I'll remember that.

I'm with you on that. Some of my RP group have bred and the results are fairly scary - as well as pretty noisy.

not to mention stinky!

If I can get ahold of it without sawing off any limbs, I'd love to run BRP Horror on the Orient Express as well. Both in the same lifetime -- that would be cool.

According to Charlie what's-his-name of Chaosium, they are hoping to reprint it in the not to distant.

Nyambe - looks just fabulous. Got very limited interest from players I've pitched it to.

Delta Green - For some reason I have never gotten around to it I think because actually I think I 'd like someone to run this for me. Anyone? Anyone?

CoC, Early America. Just what did happen to the Roanoke colony?

Yeah, the corrollary question is, what campaigns would you like to play in but not run? But that probably deserves it's own thread.

Probably not a new idea.

I'd like the players to play themselves, as they are in the world as we know it. The campaign would begin with the players playing a DnD session.

Then the proverbial faeces hit the fan. A major catastrophy has broken out. TV and Radio work for another 3 or 4 hours, before they produce nothins but static noise.

They are together as a group, and their "task" is simply to survive. It doesn't take long before the first riots break out. From here on society crumbles with the day.

I would let them play as long as possible in this world gone mad.

When the last of them dies (which inevitably will happen) I want to take the world forward for 250 years. Then it becomes a sort of post-apocalyptic story in which the PCs have to find out what went wrong.

It isn't worked out as of yet, but this game will take place!

If your major catastrophe could be zombies eating everyone, then All Flesh Must Be Eaten might be exactly what you're looking for.

Ever since I read the "Crusader Earth" novels in Dragon I want to run a campaign set in Earth sometime during the crusades. It would have everything: mad demon summoning wizards, templars and hospitalers, trips to Constantinopel, Venice, Cairo, Bagdad etc., lots of historical personalities, maybe even some time travel to the biblical era to be able to use some Testament stuff from Green Ronin. I really hope I'll be able to pull this off sometimes.

My Homebrew campaign is just the thing you are looking for and conveniently enough I've actually written up a guidebook so others can use it. Currently the version available is for 3e, but I am currently working on a 3.5e version that is going to be considerably more useful. Check out my web page, www.terra-viejo.net, it's got the pdf for the old sourcebook, as well as a timeline integrating fantasy elements with Earth's past.

Some day! When I have retired and have copious free time to work on it...

This is a concept my group (who have been together for 10 years now) have often contemplated.

I am 38 and have been playing for 25 years. I see no reason why I would quit, since I've perservered through wedding and child and house move, etc. Most importantly, I have fun still.

But lets take it a step further; Those late teens and early 20's who started this whole thing back in the early 70's are now in their 50's, firmly in their middle ages. In 10 years, they will be retiring.

What will it be like then? My group has often laughed about all living in one retirement home and getting together every day to game between reruns of Simpsons and bowls of creamed corn. Will retirement communities have D&D clubs to go along with the sewing circles? Will Gencon start running seminars on prostate cancer?

This hobby of ours is no different than most other hobbies that people enjoy, but can we see ourselves in our 70's getting the group together to pound on a dragon?

I'm certianly keeping my fingers crossed. I probably won't finish reading all the books I bought this year until then anyway...

Games I would like to run:


1. I would like someday for my wife to co-DM a game with me. As she only started playing seriously last year, and is still quite nervous I think this is a ways away.

2. I would like to run a game that lasts for many years (hopefully, but not necessarily in conjunction with 1)

3. I would like to run another game using West End's SWRPG.

4. I would like to run another game using Paranoia.

I want to run my Thieves World Game. I think there are some great options out now to really capture the setting using d20.

After seeing the Babylon 5 game, I really would like to give that a shot. That has surpassed Star Wars and Star Trek as my sorta sci fi game I want to do.
