The Ludoquist games café in Croydon has started doing drop-in RPG sessions on Tuesday evenings. I, possibly foolishly, said I might be up for running something. So now I'm scratching my head to come up with something that will run for about 3 hours with up to 6 players (but won't be derailed with fewer). Basically, the kind of thing that I played at CallaCon - but I only ever ran one, and that was with two players. I've run a couple of one-shots before, and I've got a couple of ideas circling, but, if I do this, I want to do it properly, so I was looking up some tips online.
Which led me to this article about old RPGs on Geek And Sundry, which features a line to make a grognard giggle - “I had a kid ask about ThAC0 and I just handed him the 2nd ed AD&D Player’s Handbook and he came back 45 minutes later and said he would not complain about 5th ed ever again.” And the photo of old games at the head of the page gave me a warm feeling inside. Not just because I can see my copy of one of them from where I'm sat on my sofa. [grin] I've played four of the seven, and have handled copies of two more, but never got around to playing them.
Ho-hum. Right, back to watching TV and mulling ideas for Tuesday evening. If nothing else comes up, I've just picked up the two-page pdf for Honey Heist by Grant Howitt, which looks suitably rules-light and entertaining. ("Here is the plot: 1) You have a complex plan that requires precise timing. 2) You are a GODDAMN BEAR.")
