What would YOU like to play or run? (Interest Catch-all)

[tibbius]

Guessing 9 is the magic number?
A rules lite game sounds like fun, I'll wait for the gm to see if there is room.

A third player could make the game better. Please join.

First step is to post a character in the Characters thread. Then I'll bring you in somehow.

[Juramenta]

Found the thread but can you add me to it?
I don't have a post reply option in characters and rules.

I think I would be interested in running a D&D 5e game - still feel I would like to get to (better) know the system, and running it might be a good way to go about it. Something really simple - Core rules and classes only. Maybe pregens even, if there are Core ones.

Completely railroad-y and episodic to keep it even simpler. Along the lines of 'you were called to do this ands that, you traveled x days and now you are at the so and so place. Go!'. Perhaps with some downtime between 'adventures'.

Maybe start off with only the 5e Basic Rules like Eris did here. He's using the Hardcore rules as well but you don't have to, just use the free Basic Rules.

I have definitely got my eye on the Hardcore rules, but would like to try the 'standard' rules first, before making adjustments
Now the Basic Rules, those might be just perfect to start with - I will take a further look. Thanks!

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?

Interested! Heard a lot about A0, but never had a chance to play it. Now that we are talking about it. never played the Slavers series either

I think this must have some 5th ed D&D update. Certainly the original Slavery series set in Highport began life as a tournament game with a load of pre-generated characters. I would imagine Eljayess, Blodgett & co' have been updated to relevant 5th ed class tropes
too.

I find a quick 5th ed link to the second module conversion

A user by the name of Luz wrote nice reviews on these two modules over on Cannonfire:

• Danger At Darkshelf Quarry
  Lowdown in Highport

Sequels
In his 'Highport' review, Luz also mentioned, quote:

The Last Slavelord in Dungeon Magazine #215 serves as a direct sequel (or perhaps an encore) to the original series...

That issue of Dungeon Magazine is available on DriveThruRPG, and is currently on sale for $2.99:

Dungeon Magazine #215

Thanks Dave! I forgot about those but that did remind me of Pacesetter's A1: Path of the Slave Masters:

---

A1 Path of the Slave Masters is the first adventure in a four-part series. However, each adventure can be played separately and independent of the series. This series is designed, in general, as a sequel to TSR’s iconic Slave Lord series of modules. These adventures begin approximately 30 years after the original Slave Lords were defeated. It is not necessary to have played, or read, the original Slave Lord series to play this series.

Bill does not currently have it for sale, but maybe one day he will again...

Oh, nice. I wasn't aware of this one. I'll have to keep my eyes out for it.

[Stirling]

Thanks for all this information and links.

I did read through Danger in Darkshelf & Lowdown in Highport, thinking of possible campaign scenarios but with humanoid characters.

Not sure how feasible that might be. But certainly any new game around the Slavers theme will pique a lot of interest.

[Straither]

Great links ybn1197 & DMW71

I had a look through and must say, for fun and Magnificent Seven cross-over, playing as a group of Gnomish Monks in the In Gnomine Septem and other GaryCon tournament games, written by Carlos CASL Entertainment looks very good.

Who would be up for running one of those?

[ghendar]

Wait! When did we let ghendar in???

He's baaaaaack!

but not in pog form

And this time for good. Looking for a new PbP game that will last. Had a couple of experiences elsewhere that petered out way too soon.

I am interested primarily in ...
1e/OSRIC
B/X, BECMI, or equivalent clone
3e if played without all the splatbooks and run with an old-school mindset
Gamma World/Post Apoc
Western game

Type of game (primarily)
Pulpy adventure
Sandbox
Kill the monsters and take their stuff
Dungeon/Megadungeon

[Rex]

Welcome Back ghendar!

[ghendar]

Thank you Rex. Happy to be back

[rredmond]

Where’s that ban hammer button???

Good to see you man!
