What would your next campaign be?

[Stormborn]

Assume that for some reason you cannot continue your current campaign and for, possibly even more arbitrary or bizzare reasons, cannot continue using your current campaign setting (although you could theoretically use the same world).

What would your next campaign be?

Right now I am favoring a Sword and Planet style swashbuckling game. Airships, strange races, ancient ruins, sleeping gods, and the ususal. While I have no doubt that Adamant's Mars is excellent (it is from what I have seen) I would be more inclined to run it with a modified DnD or possibly Star Wars Saga. I am definetly in a mood to get some SciFi in my Fantasy and possibly even GR's Psychic Handbook.

I just got done running a Sword and Planet style game using the Grim Tales rules set, which seems almost tailor-made for such a game. It was a blast. Now, I'm building a somewhat standard fantasy game, at the end of an Age of Legends.

More Later,

Mutants & Masterminds. A world where superheroes have been around since 1938 or so, passing through period appropriate changes ie Golden Age, Silver Age. The game would be set in the grim n' gritty present but with odd anachronisms from earlier eras - sky kingdoms, a gorilla that shoots ghost rays from its eyes, aging ex-communist supervillains.

I've got several concepts that I would present to my players:

-CSI: Ambergate - the PC's are part of the local constabulary, called on to work on the more unusual cases. Not as detail-heavy as CSI would imply, but a "cops" kind of campaign
-Noblesse Oblige - the PC's are lesser sons of lords who, lacking land of their own, must make their way through the courts and intrigues of the Empire.
-Babylon (5) 1400 - the PC's are employed at a castle at the crossroads of multiple kingdoms that has been set up as a meeting place for ambassadors in hopes of preventing all-out war between multiple factions.

Any of these would be in my home brew world, and be set 100 years or so after the end of the current campaigns. I ask for a lot of opinion from my players, so that I can give them the kind of game they're looking for.

I'm sort of on gaming hiatus right now. I'm essentially waiting to see what 4E is going to be like before I decide what to do next. Barring that, I've been dying to run a Freeport game using my modified version of Grim Tales.

 

[Ao the Overkitty]

I'm actually working on choosing a new game, since my last game ended.

Here are the concepts I presented to my players:

Vikings! (Grim Tales) – Players are all from a small village in Scandinavia during the Viking Age. Trolls, giants, horrible creatures and even the Gods are said to roam the Earth. Winter should be ending, but the spring thaw has not come. Some fear Ragnarok is upon you, but they’re just worry-worts. You’re Vikings! You’re mighty! Go out and pillage something!
Grimmest Tales (Grim Tales) – The Brothers Grimm came up with their stories somewhere. That old lady that lives in the forest might very well try to bake you into a pie. Set in Germany in the 1800s, players are adventurers out for fame and profit.
Salem (Buffy RPG) – Welcome to Salem, Massachusetts. The city has a rather rich history which is more or less true. This is the Buffyverse, so monsters are real and all that jazz. The specific time of events is open discussion. My original PBP took place at the very end of Season 7 of Buffy (Watcher Council destroyed, Slayers awakening with no info packet). Another option would be to turn back the clock a little to when the Council was still around and there was one Slayer (not in Salem). Another option is turning the clock back even further to the turn of the 19th century for a little early nation fun.
The Lost Room (either new WoD or d20 Modern or Grim Tales) – This would be a game using the setting of The Lost Room miniseries. This is almost the world as we know it. Under the surface, it is a world of cabals and objects of power.
Ewoks! (Star Wars Saga Edition) - The group are from a tribe of Ewoks on the planet Endor. They would be stuck there for a while before moving off planet.

Shackled City was a TPK so we left the campaign and that game and went to Star Wars Saga!!

 

[Voadam]

I'm thinking of adding another pbp campaign in addition to my Oathbound Wildwood one and my Dwarven Veangance planehopping homebrew postapocalyptic Greyhawk/Ptolus one.

Freeport. Pirates, corrupt urban streets, with Lovecraftian undercurrents. Just which setting to place it in? Praemal, Argyle, Kyngdoms, other, or kitbash? I'm thinking of leaving it vague unless a PC wants to have a say in developing the world.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Full Tilt Boogie: A Buffyverse/Quentin Tarantino crossover set in Los Angeles, following the Angel and Buffy finales.

 

[Dan Bell]

I'm playing in the HarnWorld setting. Since it is rules-independent I can choose to use or ignore 4e when it comes out next year wihtout giving up gaming.
