Three games that I'm curious about, and wondering if people would be interested in.
Fantasy Dual-Campaign: This is a game idea I've had rattling through my head for a while now. It's inspired by an old game called
Nethergate which, while it has very much not aged well, has an intriguing concept. The point of the game was that it followed two campaigns, one with Celtic warriors doing their best to resist the Roman Empire through awakening ancient magics, and the other featuring Roman Legions trying to stop them. I would mkae a game with a similar concept, featuring characters on both sides of a serious conflict between a more 'civilized' society and a more 'barbaric' one. I have both 'high fantasy' and 'low fantasy' versions of the game, although neither would probably feature straight up PVP.
System: Not sure, although leaning towards free-form, Savage Worlds, Shadow of the Demon Lord, or possibly D&D 5E.
The Talent Pool: A dark, character driven game that takes place in a brutal cyberpunk world. The game would feature a group of characters who have lived various lives, but are now all recruited by different megacorporations. Augmented with bleeding edge technologies such as cybernetics, bio-alterations, and more, this game would feature the transformation of these people into powerful figures being sent on missions at the behest of the Shadowy Corporate Council.
System: Probably free-form since any system with the mechanical depth to represent the alterations would be very clunky to run on RPoL.
Stranger Things Inspired Game: Having recently finished the series, I figured that something in the vein of it (small town children exploring paranormal mysteries) would be a fun game. There are plenty of fun possibilities between the supernatural happenings, shadowy corporate/government agencies, and more to create a compelling plot. It would probably not use the setting or lore of the show however, since some more freedom would be fun to have. I would probably lean towards children characters, but might include/use adults or teens.
System: Probably free-form, but possibly Chronicles of Darkness
Are people interested in any of the concepts? I'll also hear any system suggestions or critiques/concerns you have with the ideas. I'm also happy to discuss any in more detail. Thanks for reading!
