It’s more of a musing post for myself. I’m finally coming out of a pretty bad stretch involving health issues, losing my dog, and some other things, and I’m thinking I want to open a game again. I’m still on the fence, but there are two ideas calling to me that won’t stop.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p dir="auto">Invincible MUSH. Comic games are my wheelhouse, but for various reasons, most of them don’t appeal to me anymore. I have nothing against them; I just no longer find appeal in the blended-universe-style games. And while I love comics, I haven’t really read them in the last 20 or so years, save for a few storylines here and there. So a canon game wouldn’t work for me, unless I set the cutoff in, say, the 1990s, which I’d been tempted to do for an X-Men game. I’m a big fan of Invincible, though. If I set it right after the fight with Omni-Man, there wouldn’t be a ton of continuity to contend with, and I think it’s much more open to original characters than a Marvel or DC game. I’ve also been playing the crap out of the new RPG since it came out. I love it.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">Game of Thrones. I’m really shocked there aren’t more of these games out there. A lore-rich, low-fantasy, lords-and-ladies world with giant heaps of sex and violence. I’d probably set it just after the Blackfyre Rebellion, so a bit before the time of Dunk and Egg. I’ve become a big fan of the Year Zero Engine, so I’d likely take the SRD and hack it for the game.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Invincible would be the easiest. I actually already have it running privately for a few friends. Game of Thrones wouldn’t be much more work, since I could use the YZE base from Invincible as the core for that system, code-wise anyway. There’d still be building out the theme, the world, and whatnot.</p>
<p dir="auto">Anyway, I don’t have any other real outlet for these kinds of musings, so I threw it on here. LOL</p>

From what I understand, the conversation went more, “Uh, sure, if you want?”</p>
