Day 27 of #RPGaDay2020 is upon us, and again, we have a very non-American prompt, "Favour."
I'll skip the easy, "Favorite RPG" questions and move to something far more positive.
"What do I favour to run when we return to face-to-face gaming?"
Here in the States, we're close to dealing with COVID-19 for a whopping six months. It's not good, but at some point, we'll be back to some semblance of what normal used to be. So the question is, with six months (PLUS+!) of no face-to-face gaming, what do I want to make my triumphant return behind the physical screen?
#7 - Hackmaster - A complete pie-in-the-sky idea, continuing the dream of reuniting the old gang back together. #RPGaDay always stokes that flame every year.
#6 - Talislanta - The new Savage Lands edition will fit a very Robert E Howard-esque play style.
#5 - 5e Saltmarsh - My online Star Wars d6 has players hours upon hours away, so face-to-face is out of the question. However, some of the more local players wouldn't mind a return D&D, and Saltmarsh can be plugged right back into my homebrewed campaign world.
#4 - 5e for Beginners - Before this crazy, mixed-up COVID world, another department manager at work was talking about his kids getting interested in D&D. I don't know if the quarantine killed that motivation, but setting up something simple with a new bunch of players some appealing.
#3 - BECMI Gulluvia - My Star Wars game might not transition back into face-to-face well, but the story of some goofy adventurers in the Barony of Gulluvia is simple enough. Best yet, the Theatre-of-the-Mind method will work best using "Basic" D&D.
#2 - Call of Cthulhu - Sleepless City - Returning to New York City for some (technically) one-shots is a great start, one we can possibly use to expand into the old campaign, even if we don't revisit old, beloved survivors, I mean, characters.
#1 Call of Cthulhu - Invictus - I have enough material to run a few games, but the Roman theme will keep the players off their usual path.
And for a bonus question to answer:
"What do I favour to run when we return to face-to-face convention gaming? "
I'll stick with what gets me players: Kid's games of My Little Pony: Tails of Equestria, and perhaps the Toon game: Cthulhu Comes to Springfield.
