Definitely craving something in the horror-adjacent urban fantasy space - CoD, Unknown Armies, Curseborne, anything like that would be great.
My forever-want is gaslamp fantasy with a real sense of Victorian authenticity. Not necessarily “perfectly historically accurate”, but made by someone who understands what the social conflicts of the era were for the place they’re setting it, and has a real reason to set a game in THIS place and THIS time, with supernatural/fantasy elements that really lean into it. Spiritualism, for example – hell, something set in the Burned Over District would be great fun.

I still want a Marvel game set in San Francisco and Utopia
and an Aberrant game
and an all-OC Mutants and Masterminds game
and a pony
-
@Prototart you deserve a pony
-
@Pavel I do have a lot of problems with v5 but I sure do love the hunger dice system, I think that’s fun as.

I more mean, everyone is Very Invested in Brujah not being a bloodline of the Gangrel Clan and etc and so on. For more examples, see all the arguments from when oWoD was taken out behind the chemical shed and shot / when nWoD first came out.
It’s not Brujah as a bloodline it’s Bruja, it’s different darnit! Grumble grumble.
But yeah I know. They did kinda cook themselves a little bit in trying to migrate a fanbase by keeping some things named the same like Ventrue, Gangrel, Toreador bloodline etc.

I forget who told me, but apparently, they also didn’t originally mean for Forsaken to be as heavily spirit-centric like Apocalypse, and also randomly decided to make the anti-yiffing rules even worse.
At least one of which is solved entirely by CoD, so huzzah!
(none of this stops the haters from hating, but shrug

I would like to see a Lords & Ladies game like Castle D’Image, or Crossroads, where it’s accessible, engaged players and staff, friendly but without having to learn a slew of backplot and systems like Arx, which I found kind of overwhelming. Evennia is a very complex system, with a lot going on.
Perhaps it was also back when I first played, but it was a time when I was naive and didn’t know everyone’s drama, though I was too young and dumb not to get swept up in it. I’d love to avoid that for a second round.
Maybe they are around though, and I just don’t knwo where to look.
I kind of get what you’re saying but I feel I should ask what do you mean by “learn a slew of backplot”? I think fantasy/L&L helps when there’s some level of depth to the setting, or do you mean the weight of years of history that Arx had?
-
@Rucket Could be ‘uncover the secret history’, could be ‘never get a plot run because your timezone doesn’t line up with any STs authorized to run the plot’. I’d say 50/50?

The Scorpion book for the FFG L5R game is set to drop soon-ish, somebody do the thing!

I had a dream that @RightMeow and @tsar and I all joined a game.
It was like a mystery sandbox. We all created characters. @tsar was the male hero, @RightMeow was the desperately tragic heroine, and I was playing a cop who never rose above basic level cop. We ended up buddy-copping to solve a murder the rest od rhe city decided to pretend didn’t exist.
And I was sad it didn’t actually exist.
-
I’d play that game. I just hope to write another ‘series’ that blows up all over the grid because I got cold and your grumpy char sent me a cloak. Good times.
Also, side note. Awwwww you included me in your dreamscape.
I’m undeserving of that, but I appreciate it. -
I wish my dreams were like that. Mine always involve having to fight entropy with my third-form science teacher Mr. Wilson.
-
@RightMeow lol
-
I rarely remember my dreams. Most of the ones I do remember are work dreams. I miss having the vivid, lucid dreams of my latest teens and twenties.
-
The most recent dream I can remember is: A total stranger abandoned me at a Best Buy because I wouldn’t help them steal car stereo equipment from the store, and so I just hung out in the store until it got dark so I could go home without melting in the heat.
