What's Your Bucket List Campaign to Play?

[DragonLancer]

So, sitting at work today suffering from a cold, I was pondering something. If you could play a campaign that you've never done before but would absolutely love to, what would it be?

For me, it would be the classic Dungeons & Dragons dungeon crawl. Learning about D&D as a kid that was something that sparked the imagination but in 40 years of gaming, I have never had the opportunity to play a full on massive dungeon crawl type campaign. I know how dull and awkward some people find dungeons but just once I would like to play through a massive dungeon exploration from 1st on up.

But what's your campaign that you have never had chance to play but would love to if you could?

Spy stories in the vein of John Le Carre not Ian Fleming. Loads of political intrigue and only spare moments of violence. Kim Phillby said it best, "A spy should only ever shoot their gun once in their career. When they have no other way out."

I'd need a system that could do this well, and not many are suited at all to it. Likely some type of social combat interrogation skill check with a faction intrigue jack in the box effect to keep the game and players reeling.

I'd love to make it through The Enemy Within. So far, I've made it through Book One a couple times.

I ran the whole thing back in the 80s. It was fine until after Death on the Reik. Then it all goes a bit weird.

I hope you get to do it one day.

When I play a game I want it to be different from my real life.

I have a few on my bucket list:

The Great Pendragon Campaign. An epic campaign in Arthurian Britain starting with the reign of Uther Pendragon and ending with le morte d'Arthur. You start the campaign with kite shields while wearing chain and end it in plate with canons on the battlefield. Each era of campaign is different, reflecting the state of the kingdom, re: Arthur, and what's going on.

Cyberpunk 2020 (or whatever): I've had a cyberpunk campaign kicking around in my head for about two years. It involves a bank heist, artificial intelligence, and just when the PCs think they've made enough to retire they're dragged kicking and screaming back into the life.

If you told me about your real life would you have to kill me?

I Have a concept that i have been dying to run but would be even more excited to play in.

The PCs are teens in a semi-remote archipellago, and its time for their coming of age rituals. The islands are near a trade hub and thus any species is playable except humans.

In session 0 the group builds the specifics of their homes and of tge central island village. In session 1, they are sent to light the sacred fires on the Dragon Temple, on th edge of the island. Its a temple that appears to be a massive dragon laying on the coastline looking out over the islands protectively. The sacrex fires are in the head of the dragon.

Things go weird, the temple is corrupted, and they have to cleanse it in order to finish the ritual. The temple speaks when they do so, and tells them that a darkness is rising and he other temples are in danger too.

The campaign then becomes a hunt for each Great Temple, and each one is a small dungeon with several control nodes to be dealth with in order to cleanse it and gain the blessing of that temple, with lots of side quests and such, very Chrono Cross meets Breath of The Wild.

I Also want to do a campqign where we are all knights or members of related holy orders, from different regions, sent out to investigate and deal with a rising evil.

Never played it or ran it. Stated it one but the campaign fell apart early. Would like to play or run.
I also would like to play Wild Beyond the Witchlight.

As a player I’d love to be a player in a really good WFRP campaigns, would also like to do some CoC.
