Now that Barry's game is finding its footing, I thought I would mention I am, and have been, working on putting together a game of my own to bring to the forum. I have been away for a time and so I am a bit rusty. it's been quite a while since I have GMd here.

This is just the barest bones of the idea...

20 year olds in a school setting... college... It would be their first year in this school.

Yes, you're right, the math doesn't add up. It will, soon enough, I think.

And yes, I know Gypsy is running a young adult college game. I think mine will be different enough so that we aren't crossing paths.

I will not be taking many players. It's my first game in a long time and I just don't feel I can, nor want to, juggle a lot of player/ characters. Fastest way to fail is to take on more than I can handle.

Many people here know my style. I am loose with rules and not much of a system person. For those that like that kind of game- I commend you. It's just not how my brain works. No judgements. There are different styles and different games for different people. I say this, because I want people to make an informed choice in their interest. And I take no offense for those who pass on by and those who openly decline.


That is all I can offer at this moment. Just a feeler...

I’m always attentive for your games. I like them, both partifcipating and reading if I wasn’t in ‘em.

Day 2. I am cleaning up the collected information I have gleaned from quite a few sources.

So yes, you could infer that there is an existing IP that I am adapting for this game. And no, this IP has not been turned into an RPG as of this time.

Gryphon has kindly given me permission to use the rules he created for his Platform 9 3/4 game. S o there will be some structure and some mechanics. It is just very lite! Thank you G! I appreciate the help.

I find your games intriguing, but I'm not best fond of educational settings.

It's... umm... A different kind of school.... teaching a different kind of lesson(s).

But I do understand. I appreciate the feedback AJ. Keep an open mind because the teasers will be coming soon. Pacing things out as I setup my materials for the game, and put the 'system together for characters.

Will this be similar to the previous school game you tried?

I have tried so many things that I have forgotten more than I remember.

But while I can't remember what my previous school game was, or even that i ran one... I can rest comfortably assured that this game is not like that at all.

You are right- MSK, I think.

No, nothing like that- definitely not superhero kids.

In fact I think I will put up the first teaser tonight.
