Games I want to run some day...
...based on some of my favorite books listed earlier.


  • Vurt- I ran a campaign about 7 or 8 years ago that mixed the world of R. Talsorian's Cyberpunk 2020 with Jeff Noon's Vurt series. It was very successful and very trippy. Someday I want to run a one-shot game purely based off of Jeff Noon's work. "It's August and it's snowing in Manchester. You were riding this crazy feather and swimming with the Thermal Fishies. Now, you're back in the real and the shadow-cops are looking for you while Jack Frost nips at your heels. If Words was here, he'd make sense of all this but he didn't come out. He stayed in the Vurt, swimming in the protoplasmic pool. They say there's a feather for every dream. Is there one that can get you your friend back?"
  • The Robot Novels- When I was thinking of games to run at ACUS last year, I thought of doing a LARP mystery set on earth shortly after Caves of Steel. "At a party being held in Elijah Bailey's honor, an impossible murder occurs. A man is killed in the wash-room. The only other person in the room at the time was one R. Daneel Olivaw, a Spacer robot. Robots can't kill...can they?" Players in the game would play guests at the party, including several men and women from the police force. I decided against doing the game at ACUS because the game would need so many players. I may run the scenario some day as a more traditional roleplaying game instead of a LARP.
  • Martian Chronicles- I have always found the ruins of Martian civilization and the humans building their society in the shadow of the Martians to be a haunting image that could make for a great one-shot game. The players would play human settlers of Mars.
