Games that you haven't run but want to [+]

[Bill Zebub]

Mouseguard, Trudvang, Alien, Stonetop.

(Well, really I want to be a player in those games, with an experienced GM...)

No system idea for this one, but I was talking with a buddy of mine earlier today, and we have a relatively longstanding in-joke about the Ogallala Aquifer being the largest submarine base in the world and America's gateway to the Pacific. There's part of me that wants to take that sort of gross misunderstanding of American geography and turn it into some sort of game, misreading other features, too (like the San Andreas and Hayward faults being lizardpeople superhighways rather than, well, fault lines).

And Elon Musk is secretly a lizardpeople and his super tunnel project is just a sham because the tunnel ALREADY EXISTS.

Ruins of Adventure/Pool of Radiance as a GURPS mega dungeon.

I’d like to finish at least one of the Paizo APs my group has started. I’ve run them in PF 1, PF 2, and Savage Pathfinder. I’d probably try and finish them in Savage Pathfinder.

Blades in the Dark as a Savage Worlds hack. I want the crunchy combat but I love what Blades is selling in terms of short episodic games with a narrow focus.

Numenera. I love the setting but am not in love with the Cypher rules set. I’d hack it into something else. Probably SWADE.

Political 5e campaign. I see on the Matt Colville (MCDM) videos where he has a lot of politics in and around the party with the other baronies and the kingdom in general and think it would make a good campaign.

Walking dead 5e. A campaign where zombies are all around. Towns would be more isolated and travel would be limited. A more gritty world. Not sure if some BBEG is behind all of it and it can be solved like in Game of Thrones (GOT).

For Burning Wheel, I pitched an all-dwarf game about colonizing a remote mountain stronghold to my old group. Admittedly, I was playing a lot of Dwarf Fortress at the time, but I think that it would be pretty flexible as a starting point.

I've been wanting to run an all-dwarf campaign since the Complete Book of Dwarves was released. One of these years, it'll happen

I keep playing around with the idea of running the old Judges Guild Traveller module Darthanon Queen for Mothership. Combing alien threat, time bomb, and mutiny scenarios, I think it would lend itself well to that system.

Oh man, I'm not sure I want to type this list.

The pandemic was a tough time for me. When it comes to RPGs, I fell in a bit of a buying frenzy to feel better, and because reading them was my replacement for playing them.

My list is mostly games I already owned and can't wait to get to:

• Symbaroum
• Tales from the Loop
• Conan 2d20
• Blades in the Dark
• Pathfinder 2E
• Cairn
• Orbital Blues
• Death in Space
• Electric Bastionlands
• Into the Odd
• Vampire the Masquerade V5
• Alice is Missing
• The Wretched
• ...several more.

There's also games I'd like to replay because I tried them and would like to delve deeper: Starfinder, Burning Wheel, Forbidden Lands.

Games I haven't run, but want to:

• Hyperborea
• The One Ring 2E
• Barbarians of the Ruined Earth
• Mythras
• Hârnworld (or possibly Mythras in Hârn)
• Something suitably S&S like Crypts & Things, Barbarians of Lemuria, or Sharp Swords & Sinister Spells
• Pendragon

Well, I'll be playing D&D 5E for the foreseeable future...my brand-new 5E campaign will keep us busy for a couple of years at least. And after that, it'll be another DM's turn to sit in the Big Chair, and he has hinted about running a sci-fi 5E game using the Esper Genesis ruleset. So Wizards of the Coast can pass us with all that OneD&D stuff; we aren't going to be looking for a new system anytime soon.

That said: I'm looking forward to trying out some of the many (many!) Kickstarter games I backed in the Before Times, and have recently arrived thanks to the supply chain interruptions and etc. of the Covid-19 pandemic. There will always be the opportunity for a one-shot here and there, and I've got some really good ones locked and loaded. In no particular order:

• Coyote & Crow
• Avatar RPG
• The One Ring
• Lost Lights (okay, this is a 5E setting, but I'm looking forward to it!)
• Venture Maidens (again, a 5E setting but I'm a big fan)
• Thirsty Sword Lesbians

And I'm super-excited about Old Gods of Appalachia RPG, but that's still in the works--it hasn't even shipped yet.

I've a campaign I've been brewing for years set in the star wars universe, sadly I've not found a suitable system to use

I've been wanting to run an all-dwarf campaign since the Complete Book of Dwarves was released. One of these years, it'll happen

I ran an all dwarf campaign for Savage Worlds a few years back that was a lot of fun. The campaign was a mixture of 19th century gender politics mashed up with Aristophanes' Lysistrata.

Concept: The most eligible bachelorettes in all of dwarfdom, the Grimké sister, are looking for husbands. They offer their hands in marriage to the two bachelors who return from a quest with lost sacred artifacts.

Twist: The Grimké sisters don't believe the artifacts can be found and this was just a ruse to get most of the young male dwarfs of fighting age, and some of their relatives, out of the city on a wild goose chase. In their absence, the women seized the principal government buildings and refuse to surrender until they're given the right to participate in government affairs. The government has shut down, women are well versed in siege warfare so using force isn't an option, and anyway, most of the men aren't willing to use force against their memaw anyway, and when the players eventually return, they've got to figure out how to solve the problem.
