What would like to play?

I loved that game, even though I could never get anywhere with it!

Fabula Ultima (I actually have a good part of a world in this one, but I don't have enough experience with the system to really believe I can run it.)
Lancer
Troubleshooter
Stars without Number
Transit: The Spaceship RPG
Aether Nexus

Oh gods, you'll make me pick up again. I never finished that evil playthrough, come to think of it. Maybe it's about time to give corrupting Virgil another go.

Yeah, I have my GOG copy that I may have to dust off.

There also used to be a fairly active modding community for Arcanum. Wonder if those guys are still around. Or their work, at least.

I'd love to play 5.5e, Nimble 2e or Shadowdark

Reach out to @htech. He is running a Nimble game now and may have room for another PC :)

I have run Fabula Ultima before if you think having a knowledgeable player would help with you (or whomever) running it. I'd gladly GM but I have yet to play in any Play By Post stuff at all, so I don't necessarily feel up to it yet.

- Worlds without Number
- Cities without number
- Ashes without number (mayyybe?)
- Shadowdark
- Cy-borg

Haven't played those above systems before. But interested to try, and the genres/settings are appealing.

-Cyberpunk Red (lots of experience with it)
- S.L.A. Industries 2e. (played the original, read the new addition).

Had a playgroup with the Fallout 2d20 game system and it was a blast but then people quit showing up and it fell apart. It's a simple system with some deep crafting mechanics I'd love to see on Gamersplane. I don't want to GM though I just want to play a character in the Fallout universe

Just curious @Camilla, are you thinking of a specific Conan RPG? There have been many...

I inevitably always theory-craft and daydream about character concepts for either DnD 3.5 or PF1e that I would love to play...but are just completely impractical for a standard game with other players, whether at-the-table or play-by-post.

Here are four types of games/concepts I've always wanted to play, but probably will never get the chance to:


Trapping for Fun & Profit (DnD 3.5)
Using 3.5 prestige classes such as the Trapsmith and/or Combat Trapsmith with appropriately related feats and gear to play an actual master of traps. Rather than hunting down the baddies, relying on successful trap placement, clever trap setups, and various luring techniques to win the day or at least regularly gain major advantages for combat encounters. I've yet to meet a group of players that would be enthusiastic with this type of gameplay being the focus, or even having such a concept 'bog down' gameplay. The logistics for setup and execution of such tactics, especially as a mainstay combat style, are just not practical for an at-the-table game or a play-by-post game.

Tech vs Magic (PF1e)
Taking inspiration from games like Star Ocean where a Tech-dependent hero gets stranded on a medieval fantasy world with magic, I'd love to play a Tech-based character somehow stranded in a magical world. Material like Arcforge and variant rules such as Akasha as Cybertech open up a whole world of 'technology' themed things that could be leveraged into a fun dichotomy in a fantasy world. For some reason, I don't ever seem to find many fans of the more tech-related 3pp for PF1, and certainly no one gung-ho about basing a whole campaign around such material. Hell, the entire Pilot Sphere from the Spheres of Power Wiki got retconned and scrapped by the author(s) themselves. Breaks my heart and dashes my robo-centric fantasy dreams.

Adventurer for Hire - Any Position (PF1e)
With enough 3pp (looking at you, Spheres and Akasha), anything is possible. Specifically, I've had a few theory-crafted 'Jack of All Trades' build ideas with a single concept in mind: A mercenary adventurer that hires himself out to groups to fill in whatever position they need for their current quest/job. With flexible talents (Spheres), and the ability to shuffle around Veils (Akasha) and Customization Points (Aegis - Psionics), you can literally replace just about any other character class. Which would be great...if you actually needed to. As most games have a fixed set of characters though...there just isn't ever a need to do so. It's literally a concept with limitless potential and zero practical use in a traditional game with other players. Unless all the other players bring new characters for every job, I just don't see a way of ever truly playing a Jack-of-all-Trades character concept that would actually be able to live up to their true potential.

Damnit Jim, I'm a Doctor! (PF1e)
Medic. No spells, no cleric, no convenient potions to heal every booboo, etc. Just a strung-out Medic character who has to try to keep his party alive via pseudo-conventional medicine. The Medic class paired with feats like Field Medic (3pp) and Asclepian Doctor (3pp) to actually use the Heal skill as an actual replacement for cure spells instead of stop-gap measures, and eventually using feats like minor-medical-miracle to resurrect the recently dead in place of resurrection magic. The only way to make the concept viable though, is if everyone is generally magicless and staples of the game like potions are not available just to make the healer's character concept viable.


Games I'll likely never experience, but one can always dream.

Looking in here to see what to run next ... :) :)

GODS has never seen full publication though, hmm. (Or if it did I'd very much like to find it!)

I've been envisioning a Savage Worlds fantasy game, either as a player or as a GM, allowing most or all of the species options in the SWADE Fantasy Companion. I've been tossing around a version (a very different version) of the Caves of Chaos from the classic B2 Keep on the Borderlands adventure.

It was released to backers, there are about 4 books.

@harrigan the modiphius one

Ah, gotcha @Camilla. At some point I'm planning to give the new Monolith RPG a spin.

I realize I am highly susceptible to outside media, as I spent large parts of the easter playing through the Uncharted games with my nephew, so now I have a hankering for some over the top action like Outgunned or Feng Shui.
