Which system(s) are you itching to play but haven't yet?
Whether it be due to scheduling, lack of interested players, or some other reason, what's an RPG system you're just hoping to get to the table one of these days but haven't been able to yet?
I'm most excited to play Worlds Without Numbers. I ran a short Stars Without Numbers and really liked it. Running a similar system in the Latter Earth setting is really exciting.
Also... Lancer, Mausritter, knave second edition, Cities, Without Number, and Call of Cthulhu. The list keeps growing
Cities without Number is my favourite game that I've run in the past 10 years, I hope you get the chance to try it out.
Highly recommend it to anyone who wants a cyberpunk/ grime-sci-fi game, who also doesn't want to deal with Shadowrun's crunch.
I’ve played (ran) a decent amount of SWN, read WWN but haven’t ran it, and am SUPER STOKED for CWN. So glad to hear you enjoyed running it so much! What would you say makes it so enjoyable?
I've got this copy of Shadowrun: Anarchy that I've not even read, but if it reads well I might want to try it sometime... if I can ever find people. xD
I've been meaning to run a Savage Worlds game for the longest time, mostly hoping for a Weird West, classic fantasy or a XCOM/SCP kinda game, but nothing has ever come of it.
Savage Worlds has been in my orbit for a while but I've never played it or ran it. I'm working on a Weird West campaign at the moment that will likely be played in Genesys but I've been reading and stealing from Savage Worlds things along the way.
Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG. I’ve played it before, but I really want to run it myself.
I’m also interested in either playing or running Black Sword Hack: Ultimate Chaos Edition. I’ve run the regular first edition Black Hack, but I much prefer the overt Sword & Sorcery style of BSH.
Frankly, I’d really like to play D&D 5e, but I can’t get anyone else to DM. Same for Call of Cthulhu 7e.
As far as systems I haven’t run before, I’m interested to see what MCDM’s system turns out to be.
Stars without Numbers seems cool (though I do prefer a system that lets me use dice I can’t find in a Monopoly box).
I own, but have not played (player or GM) the Avatar Legends system. It looks very lovingly put together, but I wish it hadn’t been built on Fate.
I’ve also got a neat little indie(?) system called Upwind that is very narrative focused, and has players sort of bet on suggested conflict outcomes against the GM with a hand of cards. Very interesting, but I haven’t had the bandwidth to get ready to run it for anyone.
Some of these I have/am running as a GM, so it's mostly "in what game do I want to be a player in"?
Shadowrun, Traveller, Symbaroum, Rogue Trader, Warhammer Fantasy RPG, Cyberpunk RED and/or 2020, Star Trek Adventures
There are probably a lot more that I'm forgetting at the moment, but these have been on my mind a lot lately. Everyone's gravitated toward D&D5e for the last ~10 years, so I haven't had a lot of chances to play in or run campaigns in many other systems.
Black Star. This is a new game, so not too many people are aware of it. I'd consider this a rules light Star Wars game.
White Star. Despite the similar names, it's made by different people than Black Star and the mechanics are wildly different. However, I'd also say this is Star Wars-esque sci-fi.
There are also a couple Savage Worlds sci-fi settings that look neat, like Titan Effect and Interface Zero. I feel like I'm missing a big sci-fi game I really want to play, but I can't think of it off the top of my head.
I've got 3 systems I'd either like to play in or run:
Traveller
Avatar Legends
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
I'm hoping to be a PC in Traveller but likely will try and run the other two at some point in the future.
Right now I'm planning some Vaesen and would like to run Tales from the Loop and Things From the Flood afterwards. Also want to run The One Ring and Star Trek Adventures but at least I'm a PC in an STA game so that's good.
