playing around with 2 game ideas... Gauging interest
Hey all. I've been out of it for awhile so these will both be a bit more freeform and less lore-heavy.
Okay, so I was considering GM'ing a game. But there's no point if there's no interest. Of the systems I know, there are only 2 I know well enough to GM without researching. (I have a 2 year old so I no longer have the time to learn a system AND prepare a game haha)
Idea #1: Geist: The Sin-Eaters
A small Krewe of SEs in a made up city (let's call it Gotham) will take on baddies as they deal with the politics of both the living and the dead. I plan to have a large story beat taking place in the underworld once characters are established; other than that, the story will be a bit freeform but with a 'the crow'/'john dies at the end' theme. Focus on local gangs/ occultists getting into things they shouldn't as well as eventually something bigger and more sinister... (I prefer to build stories based on characters, not the other way around).
Idea #2: Mutants and Masterminds 3e/DCA
So this will be a superhero game in an original setting. The game will be a lower threat/power level ala a Friendly Neighborhood Spider-man. The emphasis, like in Spider-man, will be on personal drama so expect about half the game to be out-of-costume. In this world, Supers are a new and very rare phenomena.
BONUS! Idea #3: Pathfinder 1e
Okay so PF is by far my weakest of these 3 systems. However, I have a really fleshed out world I created for a series of home games I used to run. This will be a really stripped down, low fantasy version of the game. Sadly, this means no races other than human and magic is very rare. Think 'Game of Thrones' but with much more cultural inspirations. (i.e. There are Arab, West African, Asian, Polynesian, AND European influences). Magic is actually illegal on one of the continents...
Anyway, what do y'all think? Please don't express interest if you won't play/post consistently. I'm not sure if this site is active enough for this but I'd love to be proven wrong.
I shouldn't have to say this but any game I run will be as inclusive as possible and be very open to LGBTQ. If you have any problems IRL with racism, bigotry, or any of the myriad of hateful '-isms' out there, you need not apply. We may have some discrimination in character, if all players are interested (must be unanimous. I understand RP'ing is an escape so I will not push this on anyone) but no real life slurs will be allowed.
Wish you all the best and hope to hear from you soon! :)
