Tabletop Roleplaying

chrisvenusSomething 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 ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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 inlathany'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 somethingnevecat 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. :)

"...the Egyptian government is reporting a surge in members of an obscure cult claiming to be the 'People's of the Sun'. The police are looking for a figure using the name Hept Seshet"

Date: 2003-06-26 06:32 am (UTC)I suspect the authorities might do well to seek a languid, and slightly touched, young Frenchman by the name of Mercadia, who is believed to be an associate of this 'Hept-Seshet' figure...

Date: 2003-06-26 06:37 am (UTC)Mr Hemmens, for example, is usually persuadable to run almost anything obscure if suitably sprinkled with possibilities and potential players :)
Remember, it's not rude, it's merely cultivating and directing another person's natural enthusiasm ;)
