I'm good either way. I'd be good with a small party, probably not more than 3 though, just so I'm not getting too much at once. Slow learner at times.

Well, why don't you give us a run down of what you are looking for, and we can look for a fit?

I'm happy for BlueDwarf to run your adventure.  =)  I'm still mulling over running a Middle Earth game at some point.

A thematic game set in Middle Earth sounds like it could be a lot of fun.

I would definitely be interested in something like that.

In reply to Anachronist (msg # 30):

DF style, Mick?

Probably not DF.  =)  I don't know if I'll go through with it, but it will be more straight-up GURPS Fantasy if I do.

Okay, games I'm interested in at the moment.

1. Middle Earth, but not doing the ring thing. I feel that has been played out a LOT. If want it to be completely seperate from the trilogy.
2. Space game. Could be exploration, empire building, saving the world. Don't care honestly.
3. Somewhat similar to 1, a medieval fantasy sounds awesome.

In reply to Lord_Johnny (msg # 32):

2 and three I can help with.

2. Space Game:

This is a GURPs: Traveller games, set in the Interstellar wars period.

3. Medieval Fantasy. I would suggest Northport, run by Gwythaint

If is Dungeon Fantasy, and he runs several parties simultaneously!

I will leave option 1 in Mad Micks hands, as he sounds like he has that under control!

I suggest reading through the games to see the GM's style, and looking at all the options you can before deciding which seems most interesting and asking to join.

In reply to BlueDwarf (msg # 33):

Ummm, have to admit to being a bit intimidated by all the information to look through on those. That's a lot of info to be soaking in at once. Apologies, but I think I shall have to pass on those. Pass like a kidney stone maybe, but pass nonetheless.

In reply to Lord_Johnny (msg # 34):

Lol, I was not suggesting reading through ALL of them, but just some of the gameplay threads to get a feel for the game. The rules can be covered later...

For instance these two threads are parts 1 and 2 of one adventure (in progress) that Blue Dwarf and I play in.... I recommend them as I'm very prone to posting a bit of the rules behind what I'm doing in my OOC notes in my posts.

Part 1:

Welcome Johnny!

You'll find that there is as much variety in GURPS as there is on just about all of the RPOL website, from steampunk to space to the traditional high fantasy.  It's all about finding a GM that meshes with your posting style and the way you want to play.  This board is generally the best place to go, as the Players Wanted doesn't often score a GURPS hit and almost never a solo game.  Good luck in finding a GM to warm up to the system!

In reply to evileeyore (msg # 36):

You know, that was actually pretty helpful, as it's given me an idea that's probably pretty overplayed but interesting to me.

(I'll have to go back over it in more detail later)


I'd like a high fantasy game set in the modern time, with the world of magic being secret and hidden from most of humanity. In the fantasy side of things, you have all the various races and such, but again, all of it hidden.

Sounds to me like a Monster Hunters type game is up your alley.

In reply to Zoncxs (msg # 39):

Yep. Most similar I know of are both shadowrun type games, which I don't htink are they type of game you are looking for.

*shrug* I'd be good with Hunting Monsters. I'd be good with a bit of the Harry Potter idea too, with a whole world, not just monsters, that most don't know about. Hidden fortresses and such.

I recently picked up After The End (both pdfs).  Good stuff.

Have any of you tried using it with other products?

In reply to Johnny Angel (msg # 42):

Running one game with it (inherited after the original GM left.) What other things did you have in mind?

After The End + Action seems like a natural fit.

In general, I've just been wondering how well the concepts and ideas in After The End might  cross over into other genres.

More specifically, I've been toying with the idea of trying to run a Post-apocalyptic fantasy game.   I don't feel as though Dungeon Fantasy really fits what I have in mind though.

In reply to Johnny Angel (msg # 44):

No, something more along the Shadowrun genre seems a better fit...

I'm playing in a post-apocalyptic fantasy game right now inspired by the old Thundarr the Barbarian cartoons, although it's on hiatus.  Society has regressed and magic has been rediscovered.  After the End would be a great addition.

Thundarr is something similar to what I had in mind.

Merry Christmas folks :)
