Hey... quick question...

I know we all do a bunch of fantasy adventure RPGs. What other RPG genres would you like to do on occasion but hardly ever get to do?

For me, currently, it's modern intrigue and superhero. But I don't want them in the same game, and I don't want to do Watchmen-style deconstruction of the superhero genre - I want tights and a mask and a secret identity.

Game design is an act of social engineering. Players and gamemasters alike will behave in the way the game encourages them to.

Armin Shimmerman is not a bugbear!

Actually a troglodyte.

Superhero. Judeo-Christian (I wish In Nomine wasn't so far out of print...Amazon prices range for cheap as hell to exorbitant depending on the book). Space Opera/Space Fantasy...something Outlaw Star style. Also Eberron...which is more neo-Victorian Science-Fantasy than it is typical sword and sorcery.

Current Characters
-Quel of Ashenshield: Thoroughly mercenary. . . and still not a hobo.
-'Desmond Jericho': That would be telling, now wouldn't it?
-Maluth Scalechanger: He does eat gnolls.

It just sounds like it is made of win and chocolate
