Would love to play some post-apocalyptic RPGs (nothing that I know of but might join if anyone spins a table occasionally)
I like things in the powered by the apocalypse system or forged in the dark. Also am interested in more short form narrative systems like the quiet year*** or fiasco. My short list is:
The quiet year
Beam saber
Armour astir
Icon
Thirsty sword lesbians
Girl by moonlight
Songs for the dusk
Kingdom

And here is my list (not complete)
Vampire
Shadowrun (even when I’m critical about the system but love the world)
Blades in the Dark
Blade Runner RPG
Mask
In generall trying out new systems with different approaches

I’ve GMed a few Spire campaigns before, which uses the D10 Resistance Toolbox. It’s a great thematic storytelling RPG, and I’d love to run a one-shot for anyone interested, if there are any takers! If playing a group of oppressed dark elves resisting their high elf overlords in a magical 1900s-esque city sounds appealing, then it’s the game for you.

Spire is a great game
(I love it … although the setting is def. not for everyone)
last year @squid ran at least one Spire oneshot
I’d love to play Spire as a PC for a change, so count me in should you run a game!
Call of Cthulu sounds dope to me

Been thinking about this a lot and I realize that what I really want is to run a couple of specific campaign, in the same general vein as the Spelljammer Academy mini-campaign I did, and for some of those the systems are clear, others not so much.
Two that are clear:
Southern Reaches - open table Brancalonia (5e Mod - Gritty Realism, E6, non-lethal brawling) with its general ‘genial knaves’ atmosphere
Abyssal Thunder Run - Band of Blades mashed with Alexandrians Avernus hex-crawl, In The Abyss from Planescape
Further down-range have two other things I want to run (based on getting books I’ve kickstarted to the table) where I don’t know what the system to use would be:
Ultimate Steppes Campaign - bringing to table Ultraviolet Grasslands + Metis Creative’s catalogue - City of the Crescent, Empires of the Silk Road and Wayfarer Nomadic Realms + Fateforge Great Kaan. Not sure what the system for this could be, UVG SEACAT is basically a retro-clone, all the books are keyed to 5e - maybe Fateforge (another 5e mod)?
“Your Sector, Your Problem” - keeping a star sector from burning down; deploy assets on a sector map then go yourselves to deal with whatever problem you think merits your direct involvement. Run with maybe Ashen Stars (GUMSHOE)? Kingdoms & Warfare/ Stronghold & Followers ‘follower’ rules to reflect sector defence assets? Star Wars d6 was mentioned for this, I haven’t got a chance to check that out yet.

Still the best incarnation of Star Wars. Worth checking out.

Whats my fastest on-ramp to that system - minimum books needed to grok it?
[edit - scratch that, found Open D6 and some other stuff, I think I got it]
