New game in Moncton area?

[tadpole]

Hey all, figured this would be the place to solicit players. (This is Brian, for those of you I've met at the monday D&D sessions) I'd like to put something together in the weekly or bi-weekly nature, depending on everyone's schedules. That would be sorted out later, of course.

I'm looking for four or five more players, ideally. One player has already signed on.

As for what I want to run, there are options. I'm most familiar with white wolf - I usually run a mix of the old and new systems. Old world, new rules. I find it works pretty well, but if people really want old / new, I could go either way.

Mortals with some sort of horror / sci-fi flavor? A little Lovcraftian mind-funk?

Werewolf? I know someone out there must love rolling about in entrails . . .

Mage? Make reality melt around you like so much room temperature Neapolitan ice cream?

I'm not big on vampire. Too much angst.

Or, there's a new one called Scion - I really like the looks of this one. You play the 'child' of some god. Pick your pantheon, pick your god, and go from there. It's pretty sweet-ass. Very much mythic.

Or, I could run D&D - 4th edition, or 3.5, depending on what people want. I started a 3.5 game in Halifax based around a team of spies and assassins – rouges, rangers, wizards, etc. Think mission impossible, With an Ebberon twist. It was a lot of fun the few times it ran. I’d love to do something like that here, if there are people interested in lots of lurking and back-stabbing.

In all cases, I prefer games with lots of character development, role-playing, intrigue, and some pc-on-pc conflict. I like to have players make characters whose back story is somehow tied into the overarching plot. I like dark secrets. In other words, this ain’t no dungeon crawl, baby. Not always gonna be combat every session.

Also, if people want world of darkness, we do it dark. My last game ended with the pc's accidentally bringing about the Armageddon. No black-and-white or good vs. evil. Figured I should mention that part, as it's caused some trouble with other players in the past.

From what I've seen at the monday night games, though, that shouldn't be a problem.

Anyhow, any interested parties should respond here. I'm just testing the waters for now. More details to follow.

I'm not a fan of pc-on-pc so I'll pass.

[tadpole]

Well, pc-on-pc isn't a critical issue. If people don't want it, it can be left aside. I like it when there's in-party conflict, but that doesn't have to mean fighting, necessarily. I'll agree that too much can ruin a game.

All depends on the characters / players and what kind of game is desired. I'm flexible, really.

Could I play a vampire (the non angsty type) who lived on New Mars and had a pact with the great ones?

[tadpole]

Yes, but only if your vampire has a nice rack.

[john]

sure, easily done.

[sunnray]

If its minus the pc-vs-pc I'll give it a try. Any setting is good for me. When did you have in mind?

[tadpole]

Soon, most likely. Depends on people's schedules and interest. So far, there are three players - if John is in, that is. I'd like to get at least one more, two ideally. I usually have three nights off work in the run of a week, and one of those is Monday, so I'm sorta flexible.

Then, I need to know what kind of game people are interested in. Myself, I'm leaning towards sci-fi horror, as my book / TV diet has consisted largely of Star Trek, Babylon 5 and HP Lovecraft for the last year or so.

Any preference?

Would this be run at the store? Sunday's are open right now, and John works every sunday! We've been looking for a game to replace the Gurps game a while back!

[tadpole]

I had been planning to run it at my house, primarily due to the fact that I wanted to limit the seats to five or six players. I don't think that the game I had in mind would run as smoothly for 8+ people.

I also don't know if I could reliably get Sunday night off from work every week.

I'd be willing to put something else together for the store - something of a single session nature, that could suit a larger group. I've missed running games...

[Remi LeClair]

Well, that's cool. If you're interested, talk to John about it. It might have to be a Sunday afternoon thing, if you're able to do it, but yeah, just talk it over with John when you get the chance
