[QUOTE="Mannahnin, post: 9075610, member: 7026594"] These two for me, though Caverns of Thracia and The Lost City are higher priorities for me to run or play in. I've played two sessions of CoT and desperately want to play more. A full long-running game of Ars Magica with the passage of years, Covenant management and politics and so forth is one of the real white whales for me. One of my longtime wargaming and D&D buddies apparently had a gaming club in his college years that ran a big open-table Ars Magica campaign like this and he raves about it periodically. These are all excellent choices. Birthright and Enemy Within, in particular, but the other two definitely are things I longed for as a young gamer. I'll second the recommendation of Pendragon for this; I'm playing in my first campaign of it now and we're about a year and a half of real time and a few decades in game time into it. :) WoD in the 1990s was big for me and a sizable circle of my gaming friends. During the pandemic one of them tried this, running a Vampire game set in mid-90s Boston, where we were running around going to goth clubs and attending Vampire LARPS at the time. It was good fun for a while, though he sadly lost focus and inspiration while juggling other commitments and it foundered. That's so ambitious. :) Love the concept. This is the one I've been playing for a year and a half online with some guys I met on an OSR Discord server. It's amazing. We're only up into The Anarchy, as we've been going a bit slow, but I don't think any of us are sad about the prospect of playing this for a couple of years more. :) My brother ran that V:tM game for a few friends. It went for years of real-time and took them from Dark Ages to modern day. Absolutely epic game that I've heard tales of for years and have a bit of envy about. Re: your second one there, I dig the Persian (with a dash of Turkish) setting from The Nightmares Underneath, which is an OSR (or maybe NuSR) game I haven't gotten to play yet but am champing at the bit to. Really excited for this one. [/QUOTE]
