Currently feeling down after a couple of the groups I GM/play in went on indefinite hiatus due to scheduling and burnout issues. Elden Ring temporarily filled the void, but I am looking to try and start a new campaign. Normally, I'd be the one to develop a premise and pitch a game, but I'm finding it hard right now for some reason, and could honestly use prompts.

Honestly, I'd probably be up to run anything other than D&D/Pathfinder at this point. I'd prefer to run a Year Zero Engine, Forged in the Dark, Powered by the Apocalypse, or some other indie game. I can definitely learn and teach systems, and would prefer something less trad-gamey.

If you're interested, let me know. Scheduling is always a pain, but we might be able to work something out. For starters, let's say a US time zone, and I would be most available on weekday evenings/Saturday afternoons. It'd also need to be a voice game, since I have found that I haven't been able to successfully GM a text-based or PbP game.

    I'm not able to commit to a full campaign. My suggestion would be that we should set up some community one-shots, where we post an event in advance with the system, premise, etc. Stick to mechanically simple systems to avoid time learning and keep it snappy. I'd be happy to run and play in something like that.

      That's probably more realistic for now. I can try putting something together.

    I have a fairly free scheduled and would be down for playing something new, If you're looking for ideas for systems Lancer seems really cool. It's supposed to be mech combat with heavy socialist/communist themes but I've never played it so I can't speak to its mechanics. It's also supported on Foundry VTT.

      Lancer does seem really neat. I've been looking through it for a while now and would prefer something that isn't just your standard sword-and-board type adventure.

    you could give Zweihander a try. I've heard good things.
