[QUOTE="Jeph, post: 1206524, member: 6738"] Dah! It snuck up on me! Okay, here's the deal: On the pre-planning thread, I said I'd be running Star Wars using the Feng Shui system, as a way to introduce people to this (incredibly awesome) game. I have since realized that this was a pretty foolish idea, as playing in a heavily modified version of the game (different stats, skills, Archetypes, and schtick types) would have just confused anybody who wanted to get into classic Feng Shui later on. So I'm going to run a normal game of Feng Shui. Slots for 3-4 players, I want to keep it small--I've never been good at GMing large groups, 5 is my absolute max and even that makes me twitchy. I mean, seriously, with that many you just [i]know[/i] the others are plotting to steal your tortilla chips while you're talking to another. The game will be about demon hunting in New York City, and be set in 1995. Also, for those familiar with the game, I'll be completely ditching the standard Feng Shui cosmology, since it kicked my dog. This means that Arcanowave will not be included, and neither will any Arcanowave using archetypes. (Side note: I'd prefer to run for people who aren't in my regular group, for horizens must ever broaden, and you bastards already know all my cheap tricks. :D) For those interested, the list of Archetypes used is... Big Bruiser Everyman Hero Ex-Special Forces Gambler Journalist Karate Cop Killer (assasin) Magic Cop Martial Artist Medic Masked Avenger (Batman or Daredevil type) Maverick Cop Ninja Old Master Private Investigator Scrappy Kid Sorcerer Spy Supernatural Creature Techie Thief As for playing, either Henry's Call of Cthulhu game or CodeMonky's Grim sounds quite cool. Of course, if someone would be willing to run Exalted (or Sorcerer, or The Riddle of Steel, or Unknown Armies, or Donjon, or Orpheus), I'd be a very happy little Jeph, indeed. :) Oh, and whoever braught The Gamers last time will recieve my ever lasting gratitude if they could bring it again. Some of us have not yet had a chance to watch it with the commentary. ;) The mall would be cool. As would any number of fine establishments on Hillsborough Street, which has the added advantage of being about a block away from the building in which the GD itself would be held. Anticipatory, --Jeff [/QUOTE]
