I'll definitely get an Opus game going in the nearish future. It'll be a one-shot, drop-in, drop-out sort of deal. I'd just like to get something going in the setting, which I think is a big factor in their development.

I mentioned this in-chat, but I'd be up for either running or playing these kinds of games. They make me happy.

Currently, I have three different games/scenarios I could run at little more than the drop of a hat.

Specifically, I have an Exalted (Solars/Lunars only) game, a Cthulhu game, and a d20 Star Wars (Infinity) game. I'm toying around with a rules-lite D20 Future game, but I'd need much more time to make it playable.

The Exalted game is more Puzzle-y and Investigative. Cthulhu is what you'd expect, and the Star Wars one is more of how you decide to approach it: guns blazing or sneaky sneaky.

Personally, I know I'd be interested in something in Opus, and Coyote's ideas sound pretty fun, too.  :D
I'd also be all about running another Asura game, but that kind of goes without saying... but I'll say it anyway!

Okay, when I have a bit more time (tonight or tomorrow), I'm going to make a list of people who want to DM (and settings they want to use), people who want to play, and people who want to do both. Glad to see there's so much interest!

Vreeg-
>>1) I might want to play-test some of the Collegium Arcana (Hogwarts goes to Hell) game, on some nights, if there is interest.

That sounds like a good concept. But what ruleset are you planning on using? I apologize but Guildschool is not for me; nor is 1E DnD (even though I own the Blue Book :o).

The next one-shot for Spaceships, Sixguns and Cylcopean Horrors is previewed below!  You can read about the characters here - ignore that first briefing, that was for the previous scenario.

For those who were thinking of potentially playing in a second part of the original scenario, I talked it over with the other players and we agreed that devising a new scenario made more sense - as the first party captured N'Gai, the second party might feel less important/significant, which might not be very fun.

Anyone who wants to play in this one is welcome to!  To get a taste for the kind of adventure it'll be, cast a glance over the logs from last time (the conclusion to the first adventure will be up shortly).

A Fistful of Tentacles

[ic=Briefing]After completing a small contract in the system of Zhuque on the edge of the Homunculus Nebula – the very fringes of settled space – you received a proposition from a man named Samuel Crofton, mayor of the nascent colony of Menhir on the rugged, recently settled planet Mandragora.  The settlement's cattle have been going missing and Crofton believes that rustlers are making off with them.  The local sheriff, Phillip Burke, took a party of armed men into the nearby wilderness, hoping to find the stolen cattle and capture the rustlers.  Only Burke returned, raving insensibly, slipping in and out of catatonia; the other men never emerged from the shadowy depths of the forest.

Crofton has contacted off-world law enforcement agencies requesting further investigation, but the response has been unenthusiastic, and by the time the interplanetary police send someone to look into things the town will have been bled dry.  Private security agencies are far too expensive for the town to afford.  In desperation Crofton has asked the crew of the Demoiselle d'Ys  to look into the matter, promising to pay them as much as he can scrape together.  With the money from James N'Gai's capture and other recent jobs beginning to dwindle, you have agreed to help the citizens of Menhir if you can.

You will receive your pay either upon return of the stolen cattle or if you arrest, kill, or otherwise dispatch the rustlers.  In addition, the families of the men who joined Sheriff Burke will pay a bonus for the return of their relatives – or, if they are dead, of their loved ones' bodies.[/ic]
