What's Your Bucket List Campaign to Play?

[TheAlkaizer]

I've finally had all of the dolmenwood books delivered, I'm trying to decide if I want to run a long campaign there or just do a run through of the 4 adventures that came with it. The setting is so detailed, it's a little overwhelming to read through everything.

Happy for you! I'm still waiting for that email more than a year after the planned date. I can't wait. Really hope it comes before the holidays!

Arden Vul looks like it could be an amazing campaign, but it would be hard enough to run in 1e/OSRIC due to the sheer size of the thing and the amount of background lore.

I'm usually very amenable to running whatever people want to play, and I've got lots of experience converting things into different systems (currently running Zeitgeist using Fate Core, for example) but I'm breaking into a cold sweat at the very thought of converting something that size into GURPS.

Not that I'd be qualified to do it, since I've never played GURPS. However, playing something / anything using GURPS Space is on my own bucket list. Ideally an Expanse-style campaign that's restricted to the solar system and uses as little "superscience" as possible - doesn't have to be the actual Expanse setting.

I started this earlier this year. It was easier than I’d thought it would be. Combination of GURPS DF with the Action! Bad rules and simplified range bands as a base rules set. There are, depending on you want to count them 6-9 bestiaries you can pull from and reskin as needed.

If I did it again I’d probably go even simpler using Wildcard skills by ‘class’ and ‘race’ plus a selection regular granular skills for the rest.

It was great fun but I got victimized by gamer ADHD ‘ooo! Shiny’ and tabled it for something else.

If I run another megadungeon it would definitely be Arden Vul. I’d love to play in it or something similar.

Oh, yeah, I'll add "Dolmenwood using Shadowdark" to my wish list of campaigns to play.
