This page exists because I am not certain what the best way to move forward is.  I have a couple of ideas, but none of them stand out so starkly that they preclude all others.  Also, after how poorly we adjusted to 7th Sea when it began, I think we need to test out some ideas before we commit to something.  Finally, you all probably know how easily I get enamored with shiny objects.  This could help reduce that.

This page exists because we are adding new players and it would be a good idea to get their input on determining the direction of the group.  I have ideas, but I need some input to determine where I should focus my attention.

When we reach Ussura it would be a perfect time to switch games for a while.  I want to use this first rotation to determine which game we will go forward with.

When we reach the end of an arc, or three weeks, or four weeks, or whatever makes the most sense, we can rotate to a new game for the same time period.  Rinse and repeat.

For instances where a single game is indicated multiple times, if we choose to playtest different systems the actual game will be the same either way, but each test drive will be completely different plotwise and unrelated to the actual game.  The only exception is Exemplars, if we choose to playtest this over multiple systems they will both be two preludes which will set the scene for the actual game.

RECAP: Once we wrap up this plot thread in 7th Sea we will run one-shots on 4 consecutive weeks.  Vote here for which ones you would like to try.  We will choose the next permanent game from these 4 once they are all completed.

Here is the action plan.  Since we need to test as many systems as possible, we might as well do the same with settings.  This way we can have a good basis.  The 4 games will be as follows:
 
−
<br><br>
 
−
Indiana Jones in Space using Hero<br>
 
−
Tiger Eye using Dragonquest<br>
 
−
Mechwarrior using Hero<br>
 
−
Exemplars using Aberrant<br>
 
  
−
Each page will be updated with info on the one shot itself.  If we determine to play Tiger Eye but choose not to use Dragonquest, we may throw on one extra one-shot in Warhammer so we can choose whether that is better than Hero.  If we choose Exemplars but dont like Aberrant, Hero is something we will have all tested and can fall back on.

Revision as of 16:49, 7 May 2009

This is intended for those schmoes who play in the current Post-Holocaust Deadlands game on Saturday, as well as anyone else who might be interested in a weekly game from now on (Dieter?). The games which follow are possible candidates to rotate with Deadlands, not replace it.

Why?

This page exists because we are adding new players and it would be a good idea to get their input on determining the direction of the group. I have ideas, but I need some input to determine where I should focus my attention.

What?

When we reach the end of an arc, or three weeks, or four weeks, or whatever makes the most sense, we can rotate to a new game for the same time period. Rinse and repeat.

A list will follow with all of the ideas I have been kicking around. Each of you should rank your top 4, and once everyone has voted, we will tally the results and the 4 highest scoring games will get tried. For simplicities sake, rank them from low to high, but 4 points will be assigned for a 1, 3 for a 2 etc.

Please also notate any reservations or comments here or on the discussion page. Feel free to make as many comments as necessary and call me names if you so choose.

Questions

Which?

Here are the candidates:

HP Lovecraft's American War of Independence Ignore the Hero stuff, I will be using the Deadlands system.
Exemplars As above. Roles will be necessary for 3 characters (Guardian, Omnipath, The One)
Serenity Bebop As either a reboot or complete redo. I want to use the Space Opera setting, but we can try and achieve a flavor the players would like.

Questions

Lets put questions and answers here, and keep requests and discussion on the discussion page.

JASON: Do the potential players have ideas they would like to see explored, be they genres, themes, or anything else?
