Information Gathering
« on: October 29, 2006, 02:25:26 AM »
I am feeling the urge to possibly run a rules-based game, similar to Muro's Back in the Old Days game.  But I can't decide if I want to do high fantasy, low fantasy, space opera, cyberpunk, super hero/metahumans, post-apocalyptic, or what have you.  Is there any genre/type that anyone is just dying to play, out of curiosity?

You can put me down for high or low fantasy, but for the others no.

Not sure if I could keep up with two games at once, but a post-appocalypse game sounds interesting. Though I wonder if there'd be any 'special' humans as a result of the disaster. Might be interesting.

It'd be nice to see another genre represented.  Of those presented, post-apoc and hero are my favorites.  But cyberpunk and space opera sound just as fun.

I'd be in for any of the more sci fi ones, with post-apoc being extremely high on the list.

All of the above, I suppose. But High/Low fantasy would be first on my list

I'm down with either, preferably post-apocalypse.

I would like to play a post-apoc game, sign me up for that, but I would also play a supers, cyberpunk, or any fantasy. Not sure about the space opera... but most of those sound fun.

I'm good with any of the games, although I kinda like the idea of supers or post apoc...
