Not Your Typical Fantasy Pbp Game, ideas....

#1 Post by Bloodaxe »

Im out of the loop for a bit due to personal reasons, but ive been thinking about future games. Not regular fantasy games, something different.

Icons supers campaign

Rot World zombies game

Thief vs Thief game ( two thieves attempt to steal same item)

Warhammer themed fantasy

Star Frontiers

Middle Earth themed fantasy

Ideas, thoughts?

Suggestions on games you want?

Great thread and idea, Bloodaxe!

I think it would be awesome to see some of the non-traditional rpgs get some play here. Me personally, I've always loved 1st edition versions of: Metamorphosis Alpha, Gamma World, Star Frontiers, Top Secret and Boot Hill.

Played in a 1e version of Middle Earth once and very much enjoyed it as well! 8-)
Yosef Travathas: High Elf Fighter4/Magic-User3 (rredmond's Pacesetter Games "Legacy of the Unknown" OSRIC Playtest)
Brok Sterling: Human Assassin3 (ToniXX's Incursion into Newiron OSRIC Playtest)
Tanik Tremwoodak: Dwarf Cleric3 (Dave's 1e Skype Game)

DM: home-brew OSRIC "A New Hope to the West" campaign

Fireball... good!!

"What's it gonna take?"
"Everything."

I figured the best way to get players is to have games they actually want to play!

a bit ago I ran a few games in another forum. (Goblinoid Games)
I put up an idea for a 1970's THE WARRIORS one-off game. It got shot down. No one liked it.
I did run a some Post-Apoc games. Even Famine in Far-go.
Also had a Zombie game- Diner of the Dead.
And of course several fantasy Labyrinth Lord/D&D games! (The SlaveLords, Keep on Borderlands, Horror on the Hill, etc.)

Some other games Ive thought about:

Boot Hill / Old West
Bunnies & Burrows, Watership Down, Rats of Nimh
Red Wall / Woodland Warriors
Underdark Drow campaign
Birthright / Kingdom campaign
Oriental Adventures


So many games...so little time. I have tons of books & systems.

I think the books I have are 1st or 2nd (or some of both).
Not that big boxed monstrosity with weird dice & stuff.

Warriors, come out and plaAAAAAAAyaaaay!

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.

Soooo creepy, dude. I guess we should all be grateful ToniXX just had the cat gif in his signature for a while, and not the warriors...

"The Warriors" was the first movie I watched when I signed up for Netflix a few years ago. Just watched it again recently over the summer. Just one of those weird movies I love.

I was thinking of a Mordheim bases game. Plenty of excuses for adventure, fighting, treasure!

I am happy with anything really - love the system and the setting!
1st ed is the big book with ogre with black and white striped mohican (working from memory as books in attic). No dice pools or cards instead of dice as part of mechanics.

Yes, I cant run a game right now. I am keeping an eye on this thread for ideas, so a future game is a definite possibilty.

This thread is for everyone though. Kick around ideas, see what people want to play. Get inspired! Start a cool, new game.

A kind of "reverse dungeon" or humanoid campaign would be great fun. I have the Orcs of Thar pdf, Humanoid Handbook, Savage Species, etc.
Ive done this once before. A pair of real brothers played Half-orc brothers trying to move up in the tribe. Great fun.

Goblinoid Games has recently released CRYPTWORLD. There version of Chill! That would be an interesting game.
Also ROTWORLD is a zombie game. Another neat idea, especially with October & Halloween coming!

I wonder why Goblinoid Games stopped providing free, no-art versions of the new retroclones they create...
