Default Re: my new campaign ideas

I find some of these quite interesting. Others, not so much.

This would be the most fun, for me. Victorian adventure on an inhabitable Mars takes me right back to my childhood as a fan of Edgar Rice Burroughs, and GURPS does this sort of thing better than any other system.

This could be a lot of fun, also, assuming everybody in the group understands that the whole point of this campaign is to develop a viable colony, and not go traipsing off into the High Lonesome all by themselves.

If anybody could make a supers game that I might actually enjoy, it would be Bill. That said, I've never enjoyed any supers game I've ever tried, and that's largely because I dislike the genre, rather intensely, as an RPG game. Best to just take a bye, on this one.

I'm already running a campaign with this as a central theme, so I'd really prefer to do something different. I'm also pretty hesitant about WoD's system. It just seems too clunky. I've never really cared for it.

I've tried to run a couple of campaigns with this as the premise, because it always seemed pretty cool, to me. I like the Emberverse books, quite a bit, as well as Ariel, by Steven R. Boyett.

That said, this would probably move up to slot 2, if it used GURPS.
