Which campaing would you like to play in?

[Taloras]

Glory Road, with Broken Circle close second. *shrugs* its just more my style.

 

[Romnipotent]

Traveller (gurps is more lethal no?) for the pre Serenity RPG like play! I would be running it but I have so many things Im starting up now

 

[painandgreed]

He had me with that one until the words "Rated R".

He had me till "no magic" and "True20". If it was "low magic" and normal 3.5 rules which I already know and thought the DM could pull it off, I'd be up for it.

I might be up for Glory Road but the only one I voted for was the Traveller one.

Well, the source material involves gay relationships, and something I wouldn't just drop. Would you like it better if it were rated PG or X?

Both the Broken Circle and Swordspoint are an experiment in rules lite D20. Can you have a good game which doesn't require every rule in all the books?

I think you have a fantastic imagination, to have come up with this many campaign ideas. I can only imagine that your players will love whatever they get a chance to play. I know I'd heartily enjoy getting the chance to play one of them.

Thank you for the kind words. The Broken Circle was a campaign I ran for about 4-5 years using (modified) AD&D 2nd edition rules. And I ran the Last Emperor as an "in between" campaign for about 9 months last year. The players had a good time, which is the whole point.

If you are really interested, PG. But that's just me.

I don't necessarily see "gay relationships" as a problem. It's all about the explicitness. Some things I just don't wanna know...

I seem to be in the extreme minority (something I'm kinda used to ), but the Swordspoint campaign looks really intriguing!

I like the story for Broken Road, but the restrictions might be too limiting for my taste--depends on what I felt like playing at the time.


Glory Road looks great, except for this little bit: System: D&D 3.5 with all options turned on.

Having played in an "anything goes 3.5 game" I know for a fact that I just don't like it. Unlike tek2way, I will call it broken. While I'm not a stickler for the mythical perfect "game balance" some people actually think exists, there's just too much that's unbalanced if you include all the options (whether that's "every WotC product" or "every product"). Unbalance in itself isn't necessarily bad, but unless everyone (including the DM) makes characters to match the highest power level, everyone else gets to sit back as the most powerful character shines and everyone else (NPCs included) takes a back seat. Yawn.

I was interested in The Last Emperor until it veered off into sci fi; at first I was thinking something along the lines of Moorcock's Young Kingdoms and the power struggle after the fall of Melnibone, but the sci fi made it less appealing to me.

**shrug**

Like I said, I'm in the minority

Me too on both points. I also voted Glory Road since it's what D&D is designed for & it has a cool title. The Merc game sounds potentially good but I think Traveller campaigns are hard to pull off, also Travellers' Imperial Marines-worship never sits quite right with me, so that was a turn-off. I'd like to see a Traveller game set in a decaying empire where the Imperial Marines are near-useless show troops. That would explain why mercs were in demand.

I didn't notice the "with all options turned on" - if that means the GM isn't using his discretion to veto stuff from outside the core books the game would be horrible.

Hm... maybe the Broken Circle would be best, it has a strong plot & sensible restrictions... I dunno, they all look pretty good. I think Swordspoint would make a great PBEM or a short campaign, say 10-15 sessions.
