Roleplaying in 2014

[Chimera]

Sitting on the train, writing up the last section of the mechwarrior campaign. Well, writing up the elements, how it plays out I have no idea.

I am looking at 4-6 sessions remaining. Depending on how unpredictable you guys are .

We should be wrapped up by Christmas, I am thinking about what we do next, Christmas (Dec/Jan) can be unpredictable.

I have really enjoyed this game, would be happy to extend it or take the characters in a different direction. But I am hearing rumblings of trying a different game for a bit. Shadowrun comes to mind, and has been discussed. An old favorite with a shinny new edition. Numenera was raised, but it could be to early... Plus may not suit our style.

Thinking off the top of my head, shadowrun can also be played very one shot in style. We could do a few trial runs with character mix ups to test out the system before we commit to a campaign...

I'm just rambling, 2014, what do you guys think, what do you want to play.

So only about two isn't sessions left I think...  What to do over Christmas period? Some years it is all broken up, last year we were all free...

I am likely to be around for most of it (will give more details next we meetup or if we chat over emails).

Some Ideas (in no specific order):
 - Boardgames
 - Hanging out
 - Hiatius
 - Talking crap (guess this would be part of hanging out)
 - Winging it
 - Setting up for the next RPG
 - Consol games
 - Side RPG

Nice list, yes. Definately one combined, board game, BBQ, talking crap, hanging out session. 

Later I am thinking a few one shot dogs... OK autocorrect just changed rpgs to dogs... I suppose r is next to d and o next to p...

Definately at least a single SR5 session to kick the tires. Maybe even a mini campaign of something... No idea what.

Hmmm I find myself with an urge to run a dungeon hack old school style game in between campaigns...

Again.

I mean I don't really want to jump strait from a full on campaign game into another. And shadowrun is a complex game at heart.

So I am talking a rules light Ish D&D style game, like the castles and crusades game. Actually is was barely even c&c after I was done with it. But you get my point. Simple classes, bashing down doors and killing trolls by the dozen (multiply that out). Much less story driven, much more dice rolling. A bit more board gamey.

Thought about numenera, but to much reading required... just a simple, fighter, wizard, cleric, thief game could be fun...

So should I stop thinking about it now... or does it sound like a fun interlude?
