So many. And the answer to all “why nots?”. Time. It’s time. So off the top of my head

Eat the Reich - “The year is 1943. You are a team of crack vampire commandos with one mission: drink all of Hitler’s blood”

Conan 2d20

Legend of the Five rings (5e)

Stoneburner - Deep Rock Galactic the TTRPG

Vaesen - Call of Cthulhu but rooted in nordic mythology

Heart the City Beneath - an award-winning complete tabletop roleplaying game about delving into a nightmare undercity that will give you everything you’ve ever dreamed of – or kill you in the process.

I haven’t played Stoneburner yet, but I ran a 10 session campaign of Tales of the Burned Stones (the free fantasy version released as a reward from the Stoneburner Kickstarter), and it was super fun! If you get a chance I highly recommend bumping Stoneburner up in your queue.

I’veran a beam saber test game, and plan a campaign soon. If you’re not hyped by D&D but with mecha, it May be a solid alternative

That’s my reason too.

Is the game you’d like to run also Lancer? That would be a wild coincidence.

Edit: Oops, nevermind, I just saw your other comment!

Paranoia. I’m afraid I’ve hyped it up too much internally and there’s no way any real play will meet my expectations.

High expectations are considered treason, please consider a more reasonable expectation before attempting Paranoia

I’d love to play in a Vampire: The Masquerade campaign, or to GM an Avatar Legends campaign. But I’ve only got one gaming group, we’ve got one ongoing campaign, and even getting them to play Pathfinder rather than D&D was an unusual and new experience for them.

We just wrapped up an avatar game. It has some oddities but overall really fun!

Oh nice! Good to hear. What were your thoughts on the system more specifically, if you don’t mind my asking?

Combat felt a bit clunky until we starred treating it more as roleplay and less as “DND combat.” Overall, the mechanics encouraged interparty role play which was sooo much fun. I’d highly recommend it

Are you me? This is almost my exact situation. Only difference is that I convinced them to PF2e from The Dark Eye 5 (DSA5).

Three-way tie. Unfortunately there hasn’t been movement on any due to personal stuff, but hopefully soon:

  • Pathfinder 2e for a modern D&D-type experience. (Not to yuck anyone’s yum, but I have plenty of gripes with 5e.)

  • Dolmenwood. Currently awaiting delivery of the Kickstarter. For those old-school D&D vibes.

  • Burning Wheel. My favorite game I’ve never played, even after owning the books for nearly two decades. :P But for real this time!
