I’m Tim. My friends and I have been playing RPGs for nearly a decade now. We’ve been taking it in turns to be the DM, but until now I have only been a player. But now the power is MINE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! <cackles at the sky>.
So this blog is me showing my working, and having somewhere to think about doing better. Broadly speaking I’m going to aim to introduce each campaign, each session and wash-up each campaign and each session. There are going to be a few of them as we have decided that we’re going to try some different systems. We’ve all enjoyed D&D immensely, but I have a whole heap of different ones that we want to try.
In no particular order:
- Wrath and Glory (WH40k)
- Cyberpunk: Red
- Mass effect (5e)
- Monster of the week
- Cypher system
- Old Gods of Appalachia
- A spy/alien invasion thriller
- Salvage Union (mechs)
- City of mist
- Triangle agency
- Mothership
- If we get time:
- Rivers of London
- The laundry files
- Delta green
- More cyphers
- Dune
- Various world of darkness
The idea is to do them in smaller chunks than 4-5 years which is what our previous campaigns have been. The plan is 3 months and if enjoyment is universal then we carry on. If not we move over to a new system no hard feelings. Its a big cognitive load and my total experience of DMing is three one shots (that admittedly people have loved) but a campaign is a different beast. But as we said in my improv days “BALLS OF STEEL* HEAR ME CLANG!”
Peace, out. Tim.
