So, last Tuesday, we briefly discussed having a "regular" back-up game, for when people are missing or if the GM leaves his game books in the car that his wife just drove away. Now, I try to write my Stargate games so that they are episodic, and don't require everyone to be there, but that's not always easy, and its difficult to write adventures for just two players. However, this seemed to be something everyone could agree on, the idea of a back up game. So, I'm bringing it up here, to see if this is something people really want. If it is, below is a list of games I own that I would be willing to run games in. They are in no particular order. Others can list games they would be willing to run, and if enough people are interested, we can pick one from those lists. * Hackmaster * Tribe 8 (1st edition) * Torg * Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness (either normal or After the Bomb) (Note that this uses a version of the Paladium rules, but I believe there is a D20 Modern conversion for this out there) * Relecs and Rituals: Excalibur (D20 Arthurian style stories) * Relecs and Rituals: Olympus (D20 Olympic myth style stories) * Ghostwalk (D20) * Farscape/Dragonstar/Star Wars (These are all D20, and listed in order of my preference) * Ars Magica (5th edition, I think... the free one) * Testament (Blibical D20) * Monsterous D&D (standard D20 D&D, but you play monster races) * Star Trek (the newest edition) * Vampire (Or even straight WoD) * Diana: Warrior Princess * Munchkin (D20) Chris

I'd be willing to run one of the following:
*Dragonstar (I still have all of your books, Chris)
*Mutants & Masterminds
*Spycraft
*Pulp Adventure game (Writing EGO rules now, but could use Adventure! from WW)
*Orctopia
I'm kinda open, though after talking about it with Cthulhu on the way home the other night, I'm kinda leaning towards Dragonstar.

I'm not too interested in running anything, primarily because I know chris acually prefers to gm but also because anything I would be interested in running would be a custom campaign and it seems like we want something out of the book.
Im fine with re-trying M&M or Dragonstar, there has also been discussion of a spy style game and a Modern game might be interesting.

I like my D&D games to be in a custum world as well, but for a back-up game, easier the better. :) Chris

I don't think we NEED anything from a book...

I've been in the mood for M&M lately, probably due to COH withdrawal. Dragonstar also sounds cool.

And I think we're all experienced enough players where we can handle multiple characters, so having a set cast to divy up among the attendees would be fine.
So, yeah, I'll do Dragonstar. And I'll probably just use the same game I had before.

An even better idea. As it's just a back-up game, having pre-made characters that are used by whoever happens to be there is a fantastic idea.
Now the question is what does everyone want me to run? My top ideas, in order of preference, are:
Tribe 8
Hackmaster
Diana: Warrior Princess
Chris

Although you should all be prepared to be roped into an EGO session. I have the rules done for Pulp EGO, and am putting together an idea for a setting...

I vote Tribe 8 for BlanchPrez & Dragonstar for Gotetsu. I also wouldn't mind trying my new Game of Thrones d20 some time. I can also do any variety of gurps if anyone wants.

I think it's safe to say you have the Gurps market cornered...BTW what is Game of Thrones d20

It's a d20 game based on the books by Gerorge RR Martin, wherein he details the sexual and eating habits of the nobility in a fantasy setting.

I figured I would just dredge up an old thread instead of creating a new one.
Ok, after last night's tragic car-trouble (my heart goes out to you, Chris), the rest of us figured it would be a good idea to have a back-up plan or three. Especially in light of Chris' pending secondary employment. So, to that end, I propose that each of us pick one game that we can run, and we always have an adventure ready to go with it. That way, on nights when necessary, we can play SOMETHING.
For me, I can get together SpyCraft, DragonStar (though that would probably call for a restart with new characters) and D&D (either traditional or Orcs/Monsters). I could also probably throw together something for M&M.

I can do: - Game of Thrones(a low magic setting and modified d20 system)
- World of Darkness
- GURPS (anything really, Fantasy, Post Apocalypse, Sci-fi...)
- I also have a Rifts-like homebrew I've been messing with using GURPS.
If Tom would rather run it, I vote for Spycraft.

The idea is to have EVERYONE have a game they can run ready. That way, no matter who doesn't show up, we have something to play.
I'll do SpyCraft, since I have a feeling that's what the majority are going to vote for from me. :)

Also Feng Shui* My votes for Skyman.  I'd like to do GURPS Post Apoc/RIFTS if John runs.
