Yesterday I got a particularly severe bout of ‘I am never going to be able to play this game again’. Time and opportunity are the main culprits, but I thought it interesting as to which games sprung to mind, and which ones didn’t.
Yesterday’s eternal regrets include:
- 13th Age – maybe the second edition will pull me back, or will Shadow of the Weird Wizard finish it off?
- Conan 2D20 – a superb, now almost legacy 2D20 implementation
- Degenesis – brief convention play. Want more.
- Fading Suns
- Faith
- FGU games
- Forbidden Lands – Dragonbane has a lot to answer for.
- Lone Wolf – briefest of play with my youngest. A Dragonbane return?
- Numenera (plus any other Cypher)
- Qin, Yggdrasil, Keltia – I have enjoyed th first two never played the third.
- Shadows of Esteren (I’ve just Kickstarted the next book…)
My ‘surprised I haven’t accepted the inevitable’ include:
- A shed tonne of PbtA/FitD games that I wibble over every time Revelation is coming up)
- Baroque Space Opera – I never played it and I clearly still want to.
- Heavy Gear (especially now that I want to try 4e)
- Symbaroum – or maybe I’ll run it all for three years? Nah..
- True20 – Dragonbane has a lot to answer for.
YES! I really think I will play these dragons again:
- D&D 4e – I think this is simply my super hero fantasy RPG.
- DragonQuest – I think that is what Grogmeet is for?
- Dragon Age
There is, of course a malaise of others that swirl about hopefully, impatient for some actual play. As much as I could endlessly edit the above lists with many a more, I’m better leaving them as a point in time remorse, which I can return to from time to time. A shrine of lost experiences, sacrificed to the glory of others.
That leaves many that I haven’t even questioned the possibility of not playing. I continue to fool myself more deeply with them.
And you have to remember that I am always playing BRP in my head.
