GM Sign-Up Thread Old Discussion - Page 10

The Jackal · 05-22-2009, 02:19 PM

BK - I can run signups to start next Monday if you want. Maybe someone could run a small game from Tues-Fri to pass the time. Otherwise I'll be ready whenever I'm up.

EagleFan · 05-22-2009, 02:31 PM

I could run a small game next week if there is interest. Signups over the weekend and game to start on Tuesday.

Barkeep49 · 05-22-2009, 02:44 PM

I'm ready to go. I can't see a game starting before Wednesday and my schedule should fine at that point. I just want to hear back from KWhit before I go forward.

KWhit · 05-22-2009, 02:46 PM

I'm finalizing the ruleset on my game. BK, if you want to go next, feel free. I'll work on my stuff and be ready to go after your game.

The Jackal · 05-22-2009, 02:46 PM

Okay, sounds good.

The Jackal · 05-22-2009, 02:46 PM

Nice, even more time for me.

hoopsguy · 05-22-2009, 05:50 PM

There is a pretty good chance I'll be doing something other than Matrix when my game comes around ... tinkering on something that I hope will be a really cool game.

Not that anyone cares just yet, but I'm excited when I come up with new ideas for games. So this is more or less an outlet for that.

The Jackal · 05-22-2009, 05:54 PM

Well sure we might care, but not if you don't give us a hint.

hoopsguy · 05-22-2009, 05:54 PM

Tick ... tick ... tick.

The Jackal · 05-22-2009, 05:56 PM

Now I'm looking forwards to it.

Abe Sargent · 05-22-2009, 06:02 PM

I'm ready for my next game, just as an fyi.

Barkeep49 · 06-01-2009, 10:16 PM

KWhit is up. Jackal and dubb are on deck if he can't go.

dubb93 · 06-02-2009, 12:26 AM

If it falls to me I am ready. Send me a PM if I need to go Barkeep.

Danny · 06-02-2009, 12:49 AM

I want to be a super hero in one of these summer games.

Well, I'm changing themes this time around but I hope that someone else runs a superhero game so I can play. Someone should just re-run my ruleset from the last game, actually, so I can concoct some "make a power" options

But what looked like it was going to be a tame game - at least by my standards - changed pretty drastically last week. I think I'm going back to another epic time-suck game when my turn does come around now that I've got a (new) co-mod lined up.

Sweet! I'd love another big epic game like that, only without the possessing.

Lathum · 06-02-2009, 01:01 AM

I actualy would like a vanilla game.

Danny · 06-02-2009, 01:05 AM

Vanilla games are for the fall-spring, summer is the time of epic movies and epic WW!

I agree with Lathum on this. While the games with the extra rules are great there needs to be a basic vanilla thrown in to keep people from getting burnt out.

Danny · 06-02-2009, 01:16 AM

I didn't actually play in my game, so you guys might be right

Granted with these early outs I have had recently I am not the best person to be talking about burn out.

I actually commented to someone recently, Hoops maybe, about how it seems you have had alot of early outs.

Chief Rum · 06-02-2009, 01:24 AM

I would be down for a vanilla game.

dubb93 · 06-02-2009, 01:24 AM

I fear if I am up next Lathum will be disappointed.

dubb93 · 06-02-2009, 01:42 AM

In all honesty I would have no issue jumping in and running a completely vanilla game for everyone so long as I could still my other game 3-5 games later. Would be a good chance to get used to GMing for myself and it seems it would be a chance to give some people what they want. I could come up with a rule set by Wednesday for a completely vanilla game if this is the route everyone wants to go.

EDIT-- Would also keep someone from being forced to shelve a game idea they have thought up in order to run a vanilla one.

Danny · 06-02-2009, 01:42 AM

Lets see what Jackal has planned, perhaps he is going to run a vanilla game.

hoopsguy · 06-02-2009, 02:05 AM

Nope, Jackal is not planning a vanilla game. Well, based on a couple of very early conversations it would not be vanilla.

dubb93 · 06-02-2009, 02:09 AM

Well if need be I think I would be running a return to Hawthorne Manor.

Barkeep49 · 06-02-2009, 08:54 AM

I mind.

I think a transformers game would be great fun and WW lends well to a type of game that transformers could give. I had one ready to go a while back myself, but ended up never running it because I took a break from GMing when a bunch of new players came around and the GM list got longer than like 15+ people.

I'm not planning on running my transformers WW game anymore though, so look forward to seeing yours.

claphamsa · 06-02-2009, 08:58 AM

Good to see enough interest that were back up to 15 people on the list

I'm sure I would enjoy it but it is nice to mix in a simple game here and there.

KWhit · 06-02-2009, 10:05 AM

I am up next. I still have a touch more work to do on my ruleset, but I will be ready to post rules by the end of the week with the start date next Monday.

Actually, I think I will post a separate thread gauging interest in what I have planned so I get an idea of how many people to plan for.

USFLTecmo · 06-02-2009, 10:09 AM

Simple would be nice. I'm having a hard time building up game strategy with all the differences between games.

Well it seems we have some newer players and I think a simple game would be a good way for them to be more vocal.

I don't know about everyone else but I would like a simple game in between if possible.

That's fine. I have no desire to run a simple game, but if someone else does, that's cool.

The Jackal · 06-02-2009, 02:07 PM

I'm planning on running Labyrinth II and it is not finished yet, nor could I start to run it as I've taken an unexpected trip .. was thinking I had the time through KWhit's game to get prepped. I'll be ready after one more game, whether it's small or large.

Look forward to it Jackal!

EagleFan · 06-02-2009, 02:20 PM

Either if there is enough interest in a simple game, or if there is interest in a simple small game running around the sae time as the KWhit game, I'll throw my hat in the ring to GM it if there are no other takers.

Especially if KWhit's game is going to be a very time consuming game I think having a secondary simple game running at the same time is the way to go. I doubt that I will sign up for KWhit's game (not saying it wouldn't be a good game or anything, just not something for me to be honest- based on the thread which has been started).

Barkeep49 · 06-02-2009, 02:53 PM

Ok so then I think we're to dubb.

You know, this is something that I've talked about in my game designs - trying to avoid some of the "conventional wisdom" play by creating rulesets that do not quite align with the simple game.

My assumption is that many of the players have somewhat locked in on the correct way to play seer, bodyguard, duke, brutal wolf, and cunning wolf. Those roles are in a heck of a lot of our games and they probably should be. So what I'll often do is put a little spin on them that makes them play out a bit differently.

I want people to have to think, rather than play on auto-pilot, when they are playing my games. Ideally that would lessen the "vet advantage" but I can see how the differences between games could be challenging to really find a groove.

I had just never thought of it that way before.

USFLTecmo · 06-02-2009, 04:32 PM

Dubb's game seems like a simple game with twists enough to keep it interesting, but with enough of a regular game's mechanics for the rookies to play with some ability to comprehend what an intelligent play would be.

dubb93 · 06-03-2009, 03:27 PM

I do have permission to run return to Hawthorne Manor. 50/50 shot if that will be the next one I run as I have two other games I have concepts for and one of those I have started to write the story/roles for.

The Jackal · 06-18-2009, 03:49 AM

As soon as dubb's game is over I'll post signups for Labyrinth II. 20 players would be preferable, but it can be run with more or less.

Damn you! Of course I leave for vacation next week. Good luck with the game Jackal, the first is definitely one of my favorites.
