Inspiration is easy to find in new games...you read it all for the first time, your head just naturally fills with new ideas. But I think I would be just as well off playing an old game if I had a great idea for something to do with it.

I love reinvigorating systems with a different style of encounter and mission. My current system is taking a break from the epic tale for a character to go off in search of some rare hops with which to brew beer...Sean F.

RPGs are a good way to do it. As for games, I like All Flesh Must Be Eaten as a Zomibe game. Lots of options and lots of room to wing it as well. Check it out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870285171750325977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121100433999663865.post-40722105948385886512014-03-28T12:16:21.717-07:002014-03-28T12:16:21.717-07:00Thank you very much for reading and commenting.

Funny you should mention Marvel, as that is the very .pdf I have open on my desktop right now!<br /><br />Thanks again for the support.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04143802508898869979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121100433999663865.post-62720532243547525612014-03-28T12:07:34.247-07:002014-03-28T12:07:34.247-07:00Hi Ed,

I can't imagine what you've been going through, but trying to strike back into RPGs by running a game is a heroic move towards getting back to the hobby. I've run only a few games in the past, and I always find the time leading up to a session nerve-wracking, even if the session turns out to be excellent in play. Getting my gaming group together tends to be on par with herding cats, and after my last Star Wars Saga game came to an abrupt end, it was even harder to put a group together. But I've found that having an impending session bearing down on my really gets the juices flowing - I'm a work-under-pressure kind of guy, and trying to wing a d20 game kinda freaks me out, so I always over-prep.<br /><br />That said, I've toyed with the Cortex Plus systems a bit - mostly Marvel Heroic Roleplaying - and I think you'd find it fairly low-prep and enjoyable. If you haven't already, check it out.<br /><br />And I sincerely hope things turn around for you soon.General Disarrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16080682791338898784noreply@blogger.com
