What would you like to play/run? (Interest Catch-all)
Re: What would you like to play/run? (Interest Catch-all)
I am interested in running one or more of the Trilemma adventures using Reavers of Magog.

Re: What would you like to play/run? (Interest Catch-all)
Hwaet!! Embark on the whale-road and become a giver of rings with great spear-fame.
I am looking to run a game of Beowulf: Age of Heroes. From Handiwork games, 5e, designed for duet play, 1 player and 1 DM. I am open to extending it up to three players at most. More than that and some of the unique features of Beowulf will be lost. The Followers rule especially adds a lot of flavor and balances the needs of a single hero against survivability in a tough and monster haunted world.
I plan to start with the introductory adventure "The Hermit's Sanctuary" and go from there. Owning the Beowulf rulebook is not required, but will make character generation easier. Handiwork have made eight well rounded and varied per-generated characters available as well, complete with backstory and illustrations.
This is an extremely low magic setting, although perhaps subtle magic would be a better characterization. All characters are of the Hero class, with subclasses based on each of teh six attributes. This means you are not limited to just fighter-types. Dark Ages, but not historical. Think of the adventures as a tale related by a scop. A blend of fact, folklore and myth. Roughly 5th to 11th Century, most elements being in the middle of that span.

Still looking for players who'd like to try Reavers of Magog (link in my sig). The setting implied by the rules is swords and weird magic. Would run a game in the Xoth setting or the Trilemma setting, starting with a dungeon crawl and then getting sandboxy when you escape with your loot.

It's a great way to get engagement into a campaign.

Actually, I'd like to run this: https://xoth.net/publishing/xp2/index.htm with Reavers.

I would jump feet first into that if I wasn’t underwater with RL. Reavers has great potential! Timing just doesn’t work for me right now.tibbius wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 1:42 am Actually, I'd like to run this: https://xoth.net/publishing/xp2/index.htm with Reavers.

Re: What would you like to play/run? (Interest Catch-all)
I’d like to run Symbaroum with 3 to 4 players. I have the core rules book and a couple of adventure books collecting dust. Never played the game but it’s not hard to understand at all. For those like me, we can learn to play it together. Quick Start rules are available for free online at drivethrurpg.com for those without the core rules.
Re: What would you like to play/run? (Interest Catch-all)
I haven't played but the quick start looks interesting. I am in if you want to give it a try.

Re: What would you like to play/run? (Interest Catch-all)
I just realized the free to download Symbaroum Quick Start guide does not cover character generation. However for those who want to go this route there are pregens one can choose to play instead.
Re: What would you like to play/run? (Interest Catch-all)
If we can get a game going I can pick up the rules. Looks interesting.

I'm sorry but that is kinda offensive to me in 2022.Tamerlaine wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 11:23 pm I just realized the free to download Symbaroum Quick Start guide does not cover character generation.
Re: What would you like to play/run? (Interest Catch-all)
It just has some pre-gens. But the rules look interesting enough I want to try them out.
Re: What would you like to play/run? (Interest Catch-all)
Count me in as interested. I have the PDF but I haven't had the need to look at it in quite some time.

Re: What would you like to play/run? (Interest Catch-all)
I’m also interested in running a MÖRK BORG game, another rpg I’ve always wanted to try. Extremely rules light and brutal.
From the kickstarter:
A DOOM METAL ALBUM OF A GAME. Rules light. Art heavy. MÖRK BORG is blackened artpunk/osr about ill-fated bastards seeking redemption, forgiveness or just the last remaining riches of a world that is plunging ever faster to its inevitable ruin. An art book you can play. A spiked flail to the face.

Re: What would you like to play/run? (Interest Catch-all)
Any interest in a Barbarians of Lemuria game?

Re: What would you like to play/run? (Interest Catch-all)
Does that give a decent overview? There's rules for magic etc. as well.
