After Dogs... an Unknown Armies proposal

So I was thinking that after we play A//State perhaps we could give Unknown Armies a shot, I am willing and able to run either a short series of games or a longer campaign if anyone is interested. Specifically I've always wanted to run the acclaimed Garden Full of Weeds scenario from Weep which coul...

In Case it needed to be said there is a game tommorrow...

In case it needed to be said there is a game tommorrow, and I'm running it. So be prepared to be proactive if possible. Also just so everyone is clear it is possible for Dogs to call upon demons, and use demonic influence to their advantage, what this will do to your Dog's soul is up to you. If it w...

There is a whole system to it, and since I'm new still need to ask how it works again but I think all I have to do is call up the really cool woman who runs the Ken and schedule a night.

Tell me if your interested.

Well what makes me interested is the idea of a detailed playable social system tied to a fun fantasy game since D&D doesn't do it for me, but most of my friends play it. It would be nice (I hope) to have something cool to drag them into to cooler gaming with.

Has anyone tried Burning Wheel?

From what I've heard on RPG.net it seems really cool but has anyone here played it, or even better is playing it?

Right now I'm feeling torn between donating to Greg Stolze's In Spaaace, since I downloaded the pdf, or buying Burning Wheel.

I promise to pretend to have no idea what is going on if you let me play. I'll be absent minded, nebbish, and follow the others. And I'd like to be Hans Dvorak, if I have to have magick. Clockworking is *da bomb*.
