It’s been too long since I last played any indie games. Moving to Vienna and leaving my old group behind, this seems like a good opportunity to start over with some old and hopefully lots of new games. Indie games meaning games (loosely) connected to the Forge circles.
Is there someone who’s experienced with these games and/or wants to try out something new? I’m thinking about organizing a monthly date with up to 5 players. I’d very much like to test some new games but would be glad to show some of the classics to interested players. Most of these games don’t require a long lasting campaign to unfold their full potential. So we could change the system every other month.
Who’s interested? I have my own list of games I’d like to playtest but I’m open to any suggestions. If you have this completely wicked game in your bookshelf but you can’t think of anyone to play it with… here’s your chance
I would be interested, as Bazhell said, depending on where and when. Our regular group generally meets Saturday afternoons, so another time than that would work for me.

That sounds like a great idea (provided, as you’ll expect) that it does not conflict with my regular game…
I’m super excited about your fast responses! And yeah, time - as so often - is probably the biggest problem. I was thinking about one weekday night each month. Like, let’s say the first Thursday of every month. Do you have any preferences for weekdays or are weekdays a no-go? If that’s the case I might be willing to switch to the weekend. Otherwise I’d like to keep them free.
For starters I would suggest Fiasco. It’s a fun and fast game (and I still haven’t played it) which shows very well the difference between the usual rpg and a thematic indie game.
Again, if you have something you desperatly want to play, post it!! I’m willing to GM almost everything. If we don’t need a GM, well, even better!
Fiasco is not the kind of game I’d like to play, but Dresden Files and Planescape sound interesting. Paranoia I played once (it was really fun!), so I’m all for playing that again.
I don’t know Demon Hunters but it coming from the gamers-people, makes me want to play it as well.
I can add “In Nomine Satanis / Magna Veritas” as a possible, kind of Indie-game.
I dunno either with all the divergent definitions floating around, but methinks that might be akin to asking whether Backstreet Boys are indie music…
Seriously, though, I’d be up for some indie fun. I’d rather avoid Fiasco if possible. (It’s an excellent game once, but after that it becomes pretty meaningless … and unfortunately I’ve already played the one good session I’m going to get out of it.)
Currently on top of my want to play list is Blowback. We nearly got a game going recently, but a couple late cancels somehow caused it to morph into Mercenaries, Spies & Private Eyes. Mist-robed Gate is also on that list. So is Time & Temp. Actually, so are lots of others. I’m pretty easy.
Another idea would be trying to get in a game of Sherpa as long as the weather is nice, if anybody’s up for that…
has a sneaking suspicion -H- just needs help moving[/quote]
Would I pull a dirty trick like that on you? You wound me.
But just to show you that my heart’s in the right place, I’ll invite you over for a fun-filled session of one of my favorite indies, Yard Work: The Roleplaying Game…
