Well, the adventure I have in mind was written as an intro. for a campaign, although, it does work well enough as a one-shot.
My thought was that we could maybe alternate one-shots, and maybe rotate DMs. That way, people can get their hand at DMing…
In this context, changing system wouldn’t be a problem. In fact, it would be a nice way for people to try their hand at something new…
FYI, I now have official one shot recommendations for Call of Cthulu and Shadowrun, as well as an unofficial one-shot for Star Wars Saga (there ARE no SWS one-shots, everyone writes their own) and some other directions to look in (my master GM source says Marvel super heroes and Buffy/Angel are great for one-shots, although he wouldn’t recommend them for full campaigns).
So there’s that, too. Simon, I would prefer to stick with Pathfinder or 3.5 if we are going to continue it. I figure that ultimately it’s the character-building that’s the hardest part (except for CoC) and I can always just roll what the GM tells me to roll.
I’m interested too. Gonna stop by the fantasy flagship tomorrow (need new bottles of mead!) to ask if we can probably play there. Gonna keep you updated.
