Tabletop Roleplaying

Something that has occured to me earlier. I don't do many tabletops at the moment and a lot of the ones people have mentioned they are running (one that I was invited to by quetzyl in the last week is the freshest example) I am not particular enthused about playing. Having just read something written by nevecat I think I have worked out why. Too much fantasy.

I am currently playing in lathany's Athory campaign which is fantasy and I have been playing in it and the previous incarnation for literally years now (longest game I've been in I think). The trouble is this gives me all the fantasy I want.

I've played in non-fantasy games in the past but hugely fewer with comparison to the fantasy games that seem to be around. I think the trouble is that my mind is yearning for contemporary or futuristic without any of this fantasy stuff in there. Something like cyberpunk, star wars or even vampire/werewolf/whatever games.

So, if anybody is running anything like that and is close enough for me to get to a game and has space do let me know. Alternatively if I can twist anybody's arm to run something let me know and I will start twisting as soon as possible.

And in response to something nevecat said to me on her journal I don't want to run something and I suppose you could have said start meaning start and get somebody else to run but that seems rude to me. :)

Odd mood

My mood currently is entirely undefinable which makes an interesting change. I'm tired which generally makes me feel down but I have been having really bouncy high points today. I'm missing various friends who have started leaving oxford for the summer but at the same time I'm also wanting to not see people.

There is a lot of potential for change in my life so maybe I just don't know what is next which is why my mood is unusual.

The upshot of it is I am trying to work out whether to try to get some sleep when I get home or try to catch up with people online. I'll most probably go for the latter (and my stomach tells me that I will be doing that while having some food).

Dunno why I said all that. Really not interesting to anybody, myself included but that kind of describes my mood. Oh, adn all the mind numbingly dull work I've been doing is over. They might be letting me at some HTML templates tomorrow. Oooh! :) I might actually not be tempted to fall asleep then. :)
