What I Want To Play In

[bryant]

In no particular order. Nor is it comprehensive.

• A Nobilis game set in the quasi-extropian future, as epitomized by the writings of Charlie Stross, recent Bruce Sterling, and Ken MacLeod. Not Greg Egan; that's too far out to the cutting edge. I like reading Egan, I just don't want to play in his world.
  
  
• An emergent superheros game set in the early Renaissance; the key source material here would be Dorothy Dunnett's House of Niccolo series. No particular rules system in mind here.
  
  
• Straight-up Adventure! pulp.
  
  
• An Unknown Armies game set in an indie wrestling federation. The possibilities are endless. Pro wrestling is all about lying; the last refuge of the cryptomancers? Risks, for the entropomancers. Travel. Sleaze. Danger. I have some of a setting written for this, but I'd rather play in it than write it.
  
  
• Over the Edge. I'd say "straight-up," but, well, you know.
  

This entire post may have been an excuse to use the <cite> tag. I get smug whenever I use that tag. I would be willing to bet real money that it's the least used HTML tag on the Web.

Only one session, but then he's run a lot of things for only one session. Needless to say, Earl had the best character (ex-Vatican psychic, had to pretend to be a charlatan to get through Al Amarja customs).
