Settings Mashup

After reading this post I remembered a plan to blend a few different campaign settings together. I have Yoon Suin, Qelong, The Nightmares Underneath, Weird New World, and I could add Spears of the Dawn. I can fit all these on a map of the real world, using these settings as fantasy versions of their real counterparts. I don't know if any group would ever visit them all though, but given enough time a group might trek all the way across Europe and Asia.

RPGs for 2017

I got my hands on quite a few RPG products in 2016, some new ones, and some older ones. Looking ahead to 2017, I have some plans for what I want to run or play. So far I've run two sessions of the Black Hack online, and I'm running a Lords of Gossamer and Shadow forum game. In terms of rule systems I want to try, there are the following. Dungeon World (run) Whitehack (run) Troika (run & play) De Profundis (play) The Nightmares Underneath (run) Shadowrun (run & run!) Eclipse Phase (play) It looks like I'm not too keen on playing RPGs at the moment, I'm more interested in running them. I also have plenty of ideas for creating custom rules and settings, so I'll hopefully make a few more posts about these. I think what I want most is a group of people willing to try out new things on a weekly basis, and the time to play once a week. Those are my two RPG goals for the year.
