[QUOTE="Brodie, post: 6801650, member: 6776288"] So, I've been with my gaming group for about twelve or thirteen years now. We're dedicated and almost always get together every Sunday. I think one of the things that keeps things interesting is that every week we vote on who's going to run, and usually get two sessions in. (We've diversified over the past few years and done things other than RPGs, adding in board and card games.) One of the stipulations of being in the group is that you have to run something. Occasionally one of us will decide to switch the game they're running to something else. What we've played includes a lot of different systems: White Wolf's old World of Darkness, Star Wars (D20 and current FFG version), D&D 3rd/3.5/D20 Modern, WWE Know Your Role, Dresden Files, TORG, Savage Worlds, Deadlands (original), and L5R (2nd, 3rd, and 4th editions). And that's just what I can name off the top of my head. Last year, I put my WW2-set Dresden Files game on hiatus when one of players left the group and started working on a d20 modern-based game based on shows like Firefly, Dark Matter, and Killjoys. I got all the SRD stuff I could find (including Pathfinder stuff), pieced everything together, and even made a hardcover using Lulu so the group had a hard copy to reference/make notes in. But the thing is... I've kind of stalled creatively. I don't know if it's the holiday blues or just not being as into it as I thought I was, but I just haven't had any ideas lately. I'm loathe to start a new game so soon after working on the space game and running a handful of sessions but I also don't want to force myself to run something I'm just not feeling into. I don't think that's fair to the rest of my group much less fair to me. What I'm looking for is suggestions for games I could test out with one-off sessions. Anything that's easy come up with ideas for or random craziness, seat-of-the-pants gaming. I'm open to any system that's relatively easy to pick up and I'm especially open to games I can easily find adventures for online. Right now, I have Shadow of the Demon Lord (I funded it on Kickstarter and have TONS adventures available to me from stretch goals, and I've been devouring the book learning the system), I have an idea for Fate Core game revolving around a rock group the has adventures in a heavy metal fantasy world just before their concerts (inspired by Brutal Legend), and I have the Dragon Age hardcover. I'm a huge fan of DA, being familiar enough with the setting that I wouldn't need to constantly look up info. But I'd really like some more lighthearted stuff to play with; SotDL and Dragon Age aren't the most lighthearted games out of there. I'm open to suggestions. [/QUOTE]
