The Great Funk

I'm at somewhat of a loss. With the close of the Age of Worms campaign (and indeed, D&D in general) I'm feeling very much adrift in a sea of gaming apathy. I don't want to stop gaming, and I don't think I will, but I'm not sure if I'm the only one who feels this this way.

It's quite ironic that at the point where I'm starting to break into the RPG industry that my core gaming group would, more or less, collapse. Perhaps it's just finding the right game to interest people, the right setting that captures peoples' imaginations. I'm just not sure what that setting is just yet.

So in the interest of creating lists, I'm going to create a list of everything that I would want to GM with a "name-system-description" format. In no particular order:

* Deadlands - Deadlands - Finishing up the Deadlands campaign, which is a western horror RPG with its own rule set.

* Ravaged Earth - Savage Worlds - This is where most of my freelance work is being done set within a 1936 pulp hero setting where Martians invaded in 1898.

* Slipstream - Savage Worlds - Space pulp in the vein of early Star Wars

* Star*Drive - GURPS - A more realistic sci-fi setting in the year 2501, kind of a Firefly feel

* Day of the Beast - Call of Cthulhu - We've already started this, so I have no intention of stopping, but I really need to know if the interest is there

* Rise of the Runelords - D&D 3.75 - If there is interest in a new D&D campaign I've got everything I need to get going at the drop of a hat. I'm interested, but only if there is player interest

* Dark Heresy - Dark Heresy - This is a Warhammer 40K game set in the way distant future where you play inquisitors traveling across the vast gulf of space hunting heretics, aliens, and conspiracies. Very gothic, very dark, very violent

* Iron Maiden - Shadowrun - New Shadowrun campaign set in Europe based on Iron Maiden tunes

* Necessary Evil - Savage Worlds - A superhero game where you play supervillains! Most of the heroes of the world were killed by an alien force and now the villains are all that are left to stop the invaders.

* 7th Sea - Savage Worlds - A migration of the excellent 7th Sea setting to the Savage Worlds rules. 7th Sea is a swashbuckling game set in an alternate world - pirates, corsairs, spies, and sorcery all exist, along with a strange new continent beyond the 7th sea itself ...

* RunePunk - Savage Worlds - Dark steampunk fantasy set in a giant city. Very easy to run, could be done with very few people, very Final Fantasy VI (from what I've heard)

There it is. 11 campaigns across 7 game systems. You'll notice that D&D 4th Edition is not up there - this is intentional. Having now played in a full session of 4th Edition my apathy towards it has grown into full disdain - I don't want to play 4E. Brrr.

So there it is. I don't expect anyone but Harris to read this.
