1) Dungeon Crawl Classics: I have sunk some money into some DCC stuff and would really like to run Caverns of Thracia at some point in the future. Some good, old school mega-dungeony goodness

2) Cypher: I've put a LOT of money into collecting books from the Cypher System and really want to get around to running something. Either sci-fi or else maybe Ptolus or Planebreaker.

3) Fabula Ultima: I've been playing a lot of old JRPGs lately and I think it would be fun to run an old JRPG style story with all the fun stuff like weird monsters, magical cataclysms, and airships!

4) Star Wars: I have been mulling over running a homebrew variation of the KOTOR 1 video game in one of the many Star Wars systems. Clearly things would need to be adjusted for the purpose of there being a party involved, but I think it would be entertaining at the very least.

@Naatkinson You have at least one interested player! ;)

Noted! I've actually got a game already started for it and the forums set up. Just waiting on the right time to pull the trigger on it.

Thracia > Dying Earth

The good doctor is correct! Run Thracia THEN Dying Earth!

For sheer nostalgia, but the very first RPG I ever played was Tunnels and Trolls back in the 80s (mainly because of the solo adventures it offered).

Don't know if I can handle running a third game, but that doesn't stop the thoughts of doing it creeping in.. Lots of ideas:

-Drifting Classroom/Sliders-esque game using Cypher (or maybe Gurps)

-An Event Horizon/W40 inspired sci-fi horror using Gurps with an isekai twist

and bunch of WoD ideas, like:

-VtM fugitives/runaways chronicle, set either in Sydney or NYC

-WtA Rage across Russia, 25 years later.

-Bastet road trip mundane/Umbral extravaganza

This would attract my interest, in particular if it used GURPS.

I don't know Drifting Classroom, but Sliders would make a fantastic premise for an RPG campaign.

I like the idea of jumping parallel worlds with a building: having a base in each weird world would be nice. Though it might feel like a starship landing on planets if the building isn't weird enough.

That's pretty much just Doctor Who.

I mention them occasionally so a lot people are aware but I have a big project, and then also a smaller idea I just need to have the mental energy to run which I don't run right now.

Project: Urban fantasy game where your character used to be friends as children when 'the incident happened'. None of you have memories of it, but one of you was lost. Maybe you remained friend and stayed in town, maybe you left tried to move on, but several years on you are draw back to your home town again, and may finally be able to beginning uncovering what happened that night, while slowly learning that there are supernatural things in the world

It a concept I have had for years, and still deciding on the exact system but its likely going to be cortex, drawing a lot off Smallville, as a lot of focus will be on relationships among PCs and drama.

Small idea: High level pathfinder 1e. I have the first adventure I'd start running with, I'm just struggling with mental energy at the moment, as a people in my games know. So I need to get the couple I'm currently running back to a good pace and feeling confident I can add another.

I also do very often just have other ideas, but those at the two main ones atm that I would open up to people on GP.

I've been working on-and-off on a (5.5e) game with an urban setting. Short low level campaign about an orphanage/thieves guild eking out a living. As newly minted guild members, the PCs will get embroiled in a power struggle between the various guilds, while the privileged pour oil onto the flames and continue to reap profits.

Gothic steampunk setting where the rich hold galas and get high on Bloom atop gargoyle ringed towers even as the poor live in its shadows, breathing a perpetual toxic haze, and fighting for scraps (and snorting Murk).

I think of it as a combination of Gangs of New York with the noir detective feel of the old animated Batman series.

I, too, think that Cortex Prime would be perfect for this. And since I wanted to try that system, I'm also interested in this idea. I would be more inspired by a setting other than Europe or North America, however. Anime-esque Japan, perhaps. There's a lot of inspiration to be found in various tv-series and anime titles, but I think Cortex will make the experience unique anyway.
