[Interest Check] Who would like to try a new system?

General/Looking For Group
1

Inspired by the recent conversation in the discord I would like to ask the question: Would you like to try a new system?

By that I mean something else than DnD, which is very popular but perhaps you would like to take a peek at the ocean that is the wider rpg scape.

If you want to offer something or want to check interest for something feel free to post.

If you are interested in something feel free to post. I post some rpgs I have and some ideas or one shots I could run.

Some things I could run

Call of Cthulhu

A horrror rpg that uses a d100 system where you roll below. I have a one shot in a museum for this which can be done in 1-2 sessions

Dune

A political game which uses the 2d20 system (you want to roll low). My one shot would deal with a family that deals with the takeover of the Harkonens after the Fall of the Atreides. Video

Blades in the Dark

A game about heists and mysteries using the famous clocks. I don’t have a specific thing yet but it will be a heist. Video

Girl By Moonlight

A system about magical girls using the Forged in the Dark system (similar to Blades in the Dark). The session would deal with magical girls in a doomed world.

Fabula Ultima

A fantasy TTJRPG. where you combine abilities to make your checks. I would run an adventure in Magitech fantasy. Video

Household

An easy rpg about little fairy folk in a big abandoned house. You roll d6 and look for equal faces. I would run a one shot in the Samaraknid the upside down city. Video

I will run things on a Saturday (or a Friday once I’m finished with Ravnica)

All of these are easier than DnD and I will provide premade characters if wished so.

:heart: Houshold

aside from that DUNE & Girl by Moonlight interest me the most

could also run some non-D&D games

  • Star Wars … the West End Games version, since its easier/faster
  • Star Trek … the new 2E
  • New Fire … a narrative game in a pre-columbian meso-american fantasy setting
  • Shadowdark … very simple, modern 5E-inspired rules to play old-school B/X-like games

will make posts about this in the coming months^^

all games are supereasy and far faster to pick up than 5E

Here’s to hoping that we will actually play some other systems. Every now and then a new interest check crops up with no changes resulting from it.

Systems I’m particularly interested in are Call of Cthulhu and Vampire the Masquerade / World of Darkness. Although I’m open to try pretty much anything, including playing old systems again (like DnD 3.5 or Pathfinder)

I’m also always available for another game of Itras By. It’s delightfully chaotic ^^

Generally interested!

On the “could run” side:

  • Call of Cthulhu

  • Pathfinder/Starfinder, either 1st or 2nd Ed.

  • Savage Worlds, with all it’s settings from classic fsntasy to the far future :slight_smile:

  • Vampire: The Masquerade

Very little interest in new systems, but always up for new games!

You’re right that’s why I’m trying to be more proactive this time in putting a date up.

I’d totally join Call of Cthulhu and Vampire: the Masquerade game. Or anything vampire themed :black_heart: What about The One Ring? (saw it on sale)) anyone familiar with it?

P.S. the systems I could DM (most likely poorly) are Dread and Dungeon World.

10

I feel you. If only I weren’t too nervous and insecure to DM. Even more so a system that I’m not intricately familiar with myself

11

Although new to the world of TTRPG, I would love to experience systems other than D&D.

I am particularly curious about:

  • Dune,
  • Call of Cthulhu
  • Vampire: The Maskerade
  • Shadowdark
  • Pathfinder/Starfinder

But I am open to (almost) anything.

Because you are all interested in Call of Cthulhu maybe we can meet up for a game? Generally I have time on weekends, Tuesdays, and some Wednesday and Thursdays.

I would run an adventure from Kult: Divinity Lost ported into CoC.

Either:

  • The Atrocity Exhibition: You get an invitation to an exhibition of a famous painter. But perhaps his paintings are stranger than usual. (More Exploration)
  • Gallery of Souls: A Mob Boss wants a famous painter. But he is not the only one. (More Investigation)

If you want to I can make a meetup poll.

If someone else wants to join just write me.

A lot of these sound wonderful! I would especially love to try (and would commit to attending):

Girl by Moonlight (reminds me of Puella Magi Madoka Magica)

Dune

Star Trek

New Fire

I really enjoy Call of Cthulhu (and can run it), but if the goal is to have people experience new things, I would defer to those who have never played before.

Of other stuff that I have here, I can run:

Shadowrun

Delta Green

Heart (first time running)

Vaesen (first time running)

Very true! But there’s not always enough interest that shows up. So I will try to turn it more into a definite.

If 4+ players state that they want to play anything I have listed, I will commit to running and figuring out a specific day/time.

Cool that we could already gather a group to play! :blush:

I’m unfortunately not very flexible, as i have 2 small kids… I’d prefer a weekend afternoon/evening or a thursday evening. But from Mid-September, as we’re on vacation/planned out up till then. So please dont mind me :slight_smile:

16

Amazing. I am flexible, I can be available evenings (after 18:00), or any time during the weekends.

17

I’d be interested in Pathfinder 1e or maybe 2e, although I am more familiar with 1e thanks to Wrath of the Righteous.

18

Id love to! Im very flexible schedule wise. A meet up poll is a good idea in any case imo.

19

Call of Cthulhu is one I always wanted to try. If the meetup poll has not happened yest, I would like to join. But in general, I have a pretty flexible schedule

20

We already have made the meetup poll and have found two dates.

But if I make another one I will ping you
