[QUOTE="Ralif Redhammer, post: 7059848, member: 30438"] I have fond memories of Gamma World’s zaniness. I ran a 1e campaign for about a year. Some of the group liked it, particularly those that grew up playing it. Even though it started off strong, the new-school players weren’t as fond, and most just stopped showing up until 5e came out. Had it gone well, I had planned to move onto 2e for a bit. Some months back in a 5e session, I did a flashback to the history of an abandoned elven tower. But rather than just be an infodump, I ran it as an adventure in white box OD&D, with pregens (I was going to give them their choice, but they preferred random selection). It was so fast-paced and fun. I think even the new school heathens enjoyed themselves. There are a number of older games I want to revisit as one/two-shots after I finish Out of the Abyss. Top Secret/S.I., Talislanta. oWoD, another return to OD&D all spring to mind. And if I can ever find a copy, Empire of the Petal Throne. My brother and I had it when we were younger, but it disappeared in the intervening years. I’d also like to break out some of the classic wargaming stuff I’ve got, like Ogre and Car Wars. But I’d have to get back up to speed on those often intricate rules, and finding the time for that isn’t easy. [/QUOTE]
