I'd be up for a Middle Earth game too. I think at one time we had someone that ran a Game of Thrones game on here but not a Middle Earth one. Then again I may just have missed it if someone did.

Dr. Who would be interesting. A buddy of mine created a Grimjack RPG in college I always wanted to try out in PbP. Still have those somewhere: GrimRules or some such.
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

I was reading through a few modules and games set in Highport of the Greyhawk setting Pomarj fame and the original scene for the much lauded Slavers series.

Danger at Darkshelf Quarry and Lowdown in Highport are two pre-Slaver modules that could feasible be run with players as humanoid characters based in Highport and the wider setting for urban based adventures.

Any thoughts or interests in a 1e D&D with Half-Orcs, Gnolls & Kobolds?

To be clear I have never played any Doctor Who RPG. Just like the show and would be willing to try one.

Inferno ran a Middle Earth game on here I was in. Used 1E for the rules. Great game.

Someone else did one on here with some Middle Earth rules but we never got beyond making characters.

The concept might be fun as long as the players don't run around as assassin murder-hobos committing heinous acts with impunity. You can be chaotic without being outright evil. Maybe have some pre-gens such as the Revenge on the Keep had to bring a starting balance?

Interested if you can get it off the ground.

I feel like I might have joined that game later on. Sounds familiar.

I’d like to run a sci-fi game without mentioning Traveller or Star Frontiers. I love “hard” sci-fi so it would be something like Death In Space or Zozer’s Hostile setting using Cepheus Engine. Is there a “hell, yeah!” for this kind of genre?

You had me until "without mentioning Traveller" ;)

I wish I had capacity to join another game, despite my snark. Sci-fi would be lovely!

Yeah, SWN looks pretty sweet. White Star RPG is fun too, with more of a kitchen-sink feel.

The ultimate OSR sci-fi, though, is the fan published Humanspace Empires ‒ Tékumel in space!

Has anyone ever played the "Witcher" ttrpg? A friend and myself are interested in playing one. She may start a game if we can't find someone to run it.

There is a Really thorough review of the system here:

Warning, the review is kinda long but seems really comprehensive

I have the rules and have read through them a couple of times. I am a fan of the books, the TV show is not as good and I don't play video games so no comment on that. I would be willing to play in a pbp game, but have no interest in running a game.
