For me the main one is to run Blades in the Dark for the very first time and maybe play through the Pendragon starter adventure.
I am aiming to run UVG and ACKSII. I’ll likely learn Star Trek 2d20 too, because my player is interested in it. But I’m also looking forward to finally having the Dolmenwood books and extras. I wouldn’t be surprised if I run another two or three new systems for one shots too.
Slugblaster: Kickflip Over a Quantum Centipede
Blades in the Dark
FATE Core
Triangle Agency
In no particular order those are top of my list.
Ooo blades is my favourite game system. It was my longest running campaign and we actually finished it. They ended up accidentally summoning a demon which burned half the city before containing it and using that to threaten the government into giving the poor more rights.
I’ve got a few waiting in the wings to play at some point. The main one I want to try is the Wildsea. I’ve got to finish Spire and possibly Heart before moving into a new system first though. Depending on how many demons my players end up summoning the spire game could end quite quickly.
I will start DMing City of Mist next year. Really exited about it. Narrative systems always interested me and now i can finally play!
I just looked that up. Sounds super cool!. I have always liked the noir / hard bitten investigative types of characters.
If you’re looking for an extra player for a play test or something give me a shout!
Well its an RL Group so i think it would be difficult. But i really recommend it. The system itself got streamlined and is now available as a Cyberpunk System called :Otherscape. Also there is a kickstarter finished for a fantasy variant called Legends in the Mist.
Hahahaha fair enough. I’ve gotten so used to playing online I kinda forgot that is a thing people do in the physical realm.
Yeah! I really love playing with friends around a table. Handing out prepared props and increasing the immersion is so cool.
Technically not entirely new, but I’m hoping to introduce my group to Changeling: the Dreaming. It’s a personal favourite system, and I think it’s probably going to work better than D&D for what I personally want to run.
DC20 hasn’t even come out yet, but I am looking forward to it!
BitD or PbtA. Catch up to the hottest trends of 2013…
Lol same
Oof man, same on BitD, I read the book ages ago and loved the Haunted City actual play. Haven’t run it yet but maybe this year.
I’ve also just finished reading the delta green campaign Impossible Landscapes, as I was waiting for the Glass Cannon play through to finish up. I’ve run a fair few one shots of DG but hoping to find a group I can run this campaign for next year.
Otherwise I might run some more death in space which is kinda like Mörk Borg but sci fi. Great for a one shot
I just started running Call of Cthulhu games which is super fun, but the goal is to find players who want to play more narrative games and try out Spire: The City Must Fall and Heart.
Wildsea looks awesome but I want to play rather than GM it.
I also bought the Free League Publishing super pack on Humble Bundle so probably any of those. Coriolis and Forbidden Lands are currently the most attractive to me and look super fun to run.
I hear that Mutant: Year Zero is a great engine also.
So, y’know, just most games. I’m excited to play most of the games this year.
@Trumble Everspark and Windsoul
I feel like I’m going to have to play in a Blades in the Dark game before I run one, but not sure how. But that would definitely be on my list.
I got the Avatar rpg forever ago and haven’t had a chance to play it yet, either.
And Pathfinder 2E is definitely on the list.
Not sure if DnD 5e 2024 is different enough to count but if I can’t get a game of that going in the new year, I probably have no chance of any of these other ones happening either, so I’ll also say that one. Haven’t even delved into the differences between that and the 2014 version yet, though.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness is being rereleased soon (hopefully), it was one of the first RPGs I played at great length. I am excited to run it again.
I also am looking to give the new Werewolf the Apocalypse fans a go. The old one is one of my most played games.
And one day I will finally play Pathfinder. Even with owning an FLGS I have been unable to find a group (all of the groups in town are either in multi year campaigns or play online).
Currently playing Werewolf the Apocalypse and will likely be playing Hunter when this campaign wraps up. I’m also hoping to get a chance to play some Pathfinder 2e and maybe run a Delta Green game. Would love to play Mothership at some point. Hope you all have a great new year of gaming!
Top of the list, I think, is… just some old-school D&D. Technically, probably Old-Shool Essentials or Dolmenwood, both of which are retroclones of B/X D&D.
I just got into watching Dungeon Meshi and playing Caves of Qud, both of which are just dripping with old-school D&D influence. Plus I’ve never actually ran a full dungeon or hex crawl.
Honorable mention to Burning Wheel, 16-time annual winner of My Favorite Game I’ve Never Played. :P
…invisible sun, so i guess sort-of-cypher?..
