GILT: Austin

[bryant]

A bunch of random games I’d like to run that could be campaigns of whatever length, in no particular order.

1. Bookhounds of London, in Arabesque style. This itches my GUMSHOE urges. Fortunately Night’s Black Agents won’t be out for a while so there’s little competition for that chunk of my brain.
2. Ashen Stars is also tempting, but a bit less so. I’d probably rather play this than run it. A bit of space opera would be fun.
3. Some kind of superheroes maybe. Also more something I’d like to play. Icons, DC Adventures, not Champions probably. I keep wanting to do an emergent superhero world.
4. Barbarians of Lemuria for sword and sorcery. Simple system, looks fun. I don’t even have a world in mind — I think you could probably just ad lib one.
5. Day After Ragnarok, speaking of sword and sorcery. It’d also be nice to give Savage Worlds a good workout.
6. That old Warren Zevon Buffy game I always wanted to run but never did.
7. Nostalgiapire, now that I have Vampire: the Masquerade 20th Anniversary Edition. I can’t imagine that it’d take more than four or five sessions to get the nostalgia out.
8. The further adventures of The Black Library, my Dark Heresy conceit in which the Inquisitor is the guy who holds onto all the dangerous books. Which is to say most books. In this story arc, he is trying to retake his library from the dangerous Chaos servants who were his last set of agents.
9. My fairly politicized not yet written up D&D 4e setting. Sort of Eberron in flavor, but with universities as another power axis and not so much of the magitech goop.
10. Smallville, probably without the DC Universe trappings. I just wanna try the relationship maps.

If I think of anything else I’ll add it. I’m sure there’s something I want to use Reign for.

I'm generally meh on D&D (although not averse to rules-light fantasy) but I'm up for most of these.

I am so looking forward to gaming with you! Thanks a ton for all the lovely Austin advice you've passed along.

<- oops, Susan. I forget what names I use where, at times.

Hi! I'm looking forward to gaming with you too!

I'm glad I can help. We got a lot of help when we moved here four years ago, so it's good to pay it forward.

Wait. You guys are in Austin now?

No! Wrong! You move CLOSER to Boston not FURTHER AWAY!

Arg!

Yeah, we noticed that. But Austin is far closer to Boston than Baltimore is in the spiritual sense.

Wait, you're in Austin now? But that's, that's just up the road a piece.

Clearly, I missed a memo somewhere.

Too many social web sites, not enough time.

I'm not in Austin yet but I will be in Austin at the end of this month. Hangin' out at Dragon's Lair, all that fun stuff.

That's great news.

We'll definitely have to talk road trips for dice-slinging once you get settled in.

Also, Feng Shui.

Oh, Smallville. Totally want to do Smallville.

I thought Night's Black Agents was going to have a limited release next month, with general release in February? Maybe I misrecall.

I want to run supers too. Should I send you my notes adapting Bliss Stage for Super Bliss Force Morituri? Although it's pretty straightforward.

Playtest reports just came back and Ken says he's got a few thousand words left to write. I think we'll see it at Gencon.
