You ever get into a new game...then find something better right away?

[Flexor the Mighty!]

I've really been into Castles & Crusades for the last six months. Started a new campaign with it, been talking about it on the various forums, reading fan sites, and all that stuff. So I think I've found "my game" and all is RPG bliss from here on out. I bought extra players handbooks and stuff for it and was getting ready to buy the modules for it. THEN I buy Warhammer FRP 2e...and now I find don't want to play C&C compared to the glory that is this new WFRP edition. Ever have that happen to you? Maybe I should just find someone who is running a Warhammer game and just keep running my C&C game...but then I'd have to drop All Flesh Must Be Eaten on Friday nights and I can't do that.

Damn the choices!!!

I have the unstoppable urge to buy all the Warhammer books now and start plotting out a campaign.

Happened to one of friends started playing HARP then saw Warhammer 2nd ed.

Happened a lot more in the past when we were more willing to switch game systems though. For example, D&D to Palladium to D&D to Rifts to D&D to Cyberpunk to D&D to Shadowrun to D&D to Champions/Hero to D&D to GURPS...

I don't do that so much myself, but I have a friend who's like that. Unfortunately he tends to give in to his impulse a little too often, IMHO. He gets really excited about some new system or setting, starts a campaign, and then starts complaining of how it isn't really his style or he's not handling the rules well and the campaign dies. His Stargate campaign croaked after three sessions because he suddenly decided to try Blue Rose and didn't want to run two games. And then, a few months later, he decides to run Tunnels & Trolls for the same players who were in the Stargate game!

As a player, I make the plea: if you are like this, try to resist, unless your players are all just like you.

Yes, indeed. After a few mis-fires with 3e, we finally got a campaign going that worked. Then, Castles & Crusades came along and we were immeditately taken with it.

Funnily enough, in the queue for "next campaign" we have both Blue Rose and Warhammer 2e, along with Lejendary Adventures and Shadowrun. But that's a ways off, fortunately and unfortunately.

I think it's just a sympton of not having enough time to game. Back when I was a kid, the answer was always just "play all of them!"

 

[the Jester]

Well, I have a solution for you...

TPK.

Games, no -- no desire to move away from 3.5 D&D at all (I don't get to play that much as is).

Adventures/campaign arcs: yes. Every module I buy or Dungeon mag I get offers a new temptation ... many of which would require a new start.

Hell yes.
I have a hard time sticking with campaigns. Every once in a while, I think up some 'awesome' new idea and I get the urge to end the current campaign and start anew.

I'm currently resisting the urge to kill my Eberron campaign in favor of a 'classic' Greyhawk, demon-centered campaign. After a few weeks of that, I'll get the urge to start up a pirate-centered Eberron game. And then a Planescape campaign. And then a Dark Sun campaign. And then classic GH.... et cetera...

 

[Flexor the Mighty!]

My problem, if you can call it that, is that I think I may be growing tired of the D&Disms. But my problem may be solved for me. My group is pretty much done due to the time constraints of work and family for some of the players. So I'm going to try and find an OpenRPG game of WFRP to join.

i did a few years ago. but after going around and around finally found the campaign i could stomach as a player.
