That'll put us at almost a year (48 weeks until a recurrance) at the minimum 12-weeks per GM, neverminding weeks-off and overages and whatnot (hence the question) (Annoyingly) Funny how that works

Yeah, but we only have 2 'common' GMs - Me/Rigil.... You&Labrat are less frequent... we'll see if Chris4 wants to be in the more permanent rotation

The point is that Giger feels guilty that he wants to run for the next 52 weeks, so we just need to make sure that he is encouraged (by force if need be) to do so.

Giger is debating internally the merits of cutting this run off short so as to get another run in before the year is over, something that has never happened before, while he feels like he is capable of it, but he kinda wants the players to decide for him. The longer the stretch is between runs, the more likely his GMing ADD will kick in and he'll want to run something different.

All I know is I won't be running until after Chris4 and Rigil at the earliest.... so If we want to do Chris4, Rigil, Giger, Me - that'd be fine as Rigil and you tend to do more bite size runs lately.. I don't know how long Chris4 wants to run

Stop now I say no. But that ultimately is up to you. I prefer a little more game, sometimes it feels like we are just getting started and into the characters when its time to quit and start another one.
All that being I no longer GM so it's up to everyone else to decide.

Semi-related to Giger's question is something that I've been musing. Right now, in the rotation, we have four actual planned games - Giger's S3M, my Red Sky, WxMAN's Pathfinder, and Frito's 5E game. This means three of the four are fantasy-related in some capacity. Does that sound right? I know that I've been really the driving force behind Red Sky carrying on but it occurs to me that I really should have coordinated with the players to see if there is something genre-specific they would have liked to play. FREX, I know that Magman really doesn't much give a damn about super-hero games and, from what I recall, neither does WxMAN or LabRat, but is there something else, something not already covered, that we'd like to play with?
Note that I'm not trying to change my game mid-stream but I am willing to do so if there's something else we absolutely want to play that I can get excited about.

I consider Red Sky to be more "contemporary" than "fantasy," which sets it apart. That said, if I had to pick, doing a "contemporary" near-post/mid-apocalypse After the End thing would be something I'd be interested in playing—Twilight 2000, Jericho, Revolution kinda thing (not Mad Max); zombies not required.

I agree with Giger that RedSky to me is a completely different animal to the "standard fantasy" thing.
*suppresses other game ideas to run*

As I see it (and this might better suited for a thread in the RS boards), any "apocalypse" applied to "Red Sky" will inevitably just turn it into fantasy ... with guns since the supernatural is already present and all.
Still. Something for me to digest.

I really like Red Sky specifically because it is different, and I'm a huge fan of the Dresden Series. I would be a sad panda if you abandoned it for something else. Me ======>

FWIW, I wasn't actually planning on shelving RS ... I just wanted to touch base with the players about what you guys (and gal) want to do. It's all good.
That said, Giger, I don't know how to do an apocalypse without it just turning into GURPS: Fantasy. There was the future flash that Matias saw ... that sort of counts maybe ... I could revisit that somehow ... though that feels cheaty ...

If I remember right, you said it was a "possible future" and to avoid it, when the time was right, to say "Yes"

For the record, that was a "if I had to choose" thing, not a suggestion or recommendation—perfectly fine with RS

I am going to start prepping for a run sometime down the road and it's going to be keep on the borderlands. It will be a hex crawl much like Kingmaker. Since there will have to be alterations to accomplish this, I'd like to know is what system would everyone like to use? Pathfinder, 3.5 or D&D 5e.
Gigermann we discussed setting it in Generica you were looking at placing it in the north. I am looking at a more southern climate (south Florida).

Pathfinder > D&D 5e > D&D 3.5, in that order. But really I am not really picky and will essentially play anything

Post by Gigermann on Aug 29, 2017 12:30:40 GMT -6
If you're GMing, it needs to be a system you know well, so 5e is probably not the best option.
We can sort out the Generica stuff; there are multiple ways to skin that cat.

However, if you're thinking of using the Kingdom building stuff from Pathfinder, I'd say just use Pathfinder. Regardless, I think when we get around to this, I'd like to try a class I haven't played before (or haven't played recently), like a witch (PF) or warlock (3.5) or maybe a cleric if we don't have one...or heck, maybe a monk!

I agree, I may go with something funky as well... like an Inquisitor or Alchemist in PF... or whatever system McN wants to go with.

Gigermann, I have this map and was wondering if there was a way that you could add 1" hexes to it? and possibly remove the land marks on it?
