What do u do?

[General Pain]

I remebered the old post regarding this and since we are in a new forum and have probably some new members - here goes.

GM and occasional player but I haven't been conducting a T2K game in years as the last game I ran over last summers was a star Wars (three days game). Don't ask; I kill players in Star Wars (that last game ended in the Empire winning over my PCs, Oops), so guess about T2K . I don't have time to play IRL for now and no time to play online. However, I remain very interested in that game and work on designing my own stuff based on it with some addition from Dark Conspiracy (it fits my potential players better). Therefore, I find our little conversation very instructive. T2K remains almost unknown in France and I found this to be a pity.

Haven't played for a good few years now...I guess I class myself as a writer, primarily of UK reference material...it's doubtful if any of it will ever be used in a campaign (certainly not one that I'd be involved in), so my next logical step would be to move on to writing fiction based around it....if I ever complete it that is...

Online GM and online player. I am always on the lookout for a face to face campaign but alas, those are pretty scarce, all the players seem to live in the Frisco area or Oz dang it! With a few scattered throughout the rest of the world.



But, look at the yahoo groups and I either GMed or played or lurked in 90% of them.

FtF GM for Twilight when its my turn to run a game for our group, player in a variety of games when its other peoples turn to run. Trying hard to talk one of our other GM's into running a T2K game that I can play in.

Well, I suffer the eternal and very usual "Curse of the GM". As a good friend once told to me: "You will referee the games you would like to play". And here I am, "working" as a GM with three different groups. Always "in person", I don't know the experience of an online RPG game.
Usually I organize sessions of Traveller: TNE, Twilight:2000 (v2.2), GURPS (3ED) and, more sparsely, Star Wars (D6 system). GURPS only for ancient or medieval adventures or campaigns.
Although I have a few Twilight modules and I'm wishing to use it in an RPG session, I'm in the habit of write my own adventures and campaigns. A good source of headaches for me. And a good source of satisfaction, too.

[jester]

Well Marc, I am in the process of starting a T2K play by post, you want expeience, I can give it! What ya say

[Marc]

Mmmm... I must admit that I have not idea of how it works, Jester. It's like a forum

In a word, "YES" that is more or less how it works. Although there are other portions of the site for regular discussions much like we have here.

yeah..

too true --good saying .

Having alot of players for FtF is a scarcecommodity ( r/na )

happy that I got a good group.Would love to play as player though..

UPDATE : since 2009 our group has two campaigns running - General Pains megamercmayhem Merc:2000 campaign ,set in the present were our team battles supervillain-ish henchmen of evil cooperations and secret brotherhoods as well as run like H*** from the local cops .Think militarized genetic experiments gone wrong ,firefights that involve over 1000 rounds fired from the party alone ,characters that have been kicked out of the service from the SAS etc because of drunkedness,a Russian impostor of 82 years age ,occultism, and techno thriller elements .Happy to play in it .See myself as the only sane PC though ..

In addition our 6 year RL campaign that we jokingly run in a Tv -series "format" .We are now at S06E02 , and awaiting the release of S06E03 eagerly.All in all we have had atleast 70 sessions so far . It is a soap - in many ways - family drama and intrigue set in a postapocalyptic California were MilGov,CivGov,Mexican factions, secessionists,usurpers,traitors,militias,marauders AND the party with their various factions vye for power and prestige "Under a Burning Sun" .As a GM it has been demanding to keep track of records and count beans as well as having enough CPU to process info and make decisions .Onm the other hand our "out of scope game " has seen the players use the rules for naval combat,aerial dog fights,large unit warfare and strategic warfare as well as espionage ,skirmishes,big fights ,hand to hand combat,tank vs tank -you name it .As fortunes have risen and dwindled again we now stand at sotrt of a full circle - once again the party is alone,hunted,hungry and wounded in a more or less "Escape from Kalisz " like scenario.

thats what I /we do .

Me and General Pain also maintain a site with houserules,stats and pics of gear and weapons etc .

Been Tooo Long!

I have ref'd a few campaigns and played a few also. Back when I was still in the army I ref'd the "American" campaign and a friend did the "European" one. I haven't played in about 4 years, 2 of my players went to sand land to do the real deal, and I did a year of Homeland Security mission.
I have converted some Morrow Project and WWII vehicles to T2K stats. I used a Morrow project team as NPC's in "Armies of the night". I am thinking of starting out a small FTF group in the near future.

Whats the challenge of Florida Its sunny, plenty of orange trees, where is the challenge, the grittyness!

You want a REAL GAME, come to my Arctic Raiders Game, there you have to battle the elements as well as the Russians

Elements probably more than the Russians. Will your players have dogs That might save their lives . Russians won't be a peace of cake, even local farmers (in fact hunters) might be more used to weather conditions there than your Pcs.
