I want to play in a Mad Max style campaign where in between kludging together cars and weapons we are searching out some rumored great place or item all while trying to survive the wasteland. I want a lot of car combat and chances for people on the outside of the cars to fight and a world that while strange is comprised of familiar pieces like Catholicism but since the apocalyptic event they now have traveling orders who seek to enforce their law across the land and look something like image related.

Highschool ninja samurai waifu war.
Modern setting.
Legends of Wulin.

Techniques related to the school clubs.
Insane tournaments.
Factions.
The janitor is a retired super veteran who fell in love in tacticool tech and guns.
The Trial of Blood Dragon which is totally not a ripoff of The Goblet of Fire.
Ryu Hayabusa being a P.E. teacher.
Possibly abominations to Devil May Cry them.

Possibly in the Dead or Alive/Ninja Gaiden universe.

I have notes and plot hooks and adventures and shit.
And no one mad enough in this third world country to play with.

Right now I'd be happy for a stable player-base, but in an ideal world:
A heist campaign, starting modern day, with the players only pulling a heist every few in universe months (reason they're heisting in the first place to be decided during session 0. Ideally the players have indiscriminate license to steal whatever from whoever for a group of highly powerful corporations, just because it'll make it easier.)
For a few sessions it's relatively generic, perhaps a flair for the dramatic, White Collar/Leverage style, but somewhat plausible. Then their plan gets disrupted by a load of people across the world changing into odd, human-like creatures.
A few sessions later it happens again, but these creatures are brutish, stronger and tougher.

This continues, sometimes there'll be a few tweeest sessions on the trot, sometimes nothing for months at a time.

I want to run the career of the first Shadowrunners.

A cyberpunk biker gang game based around Akira, where the city gets progressively worse till the pc's have to start dealing with insane flesh monsters and streel riots.

Or a game about hell truckers.

NEVER EVER

A campaign I thought of years ago about the soul of an ancient witch in the land of the dead coaching and misleading the living in order to make her magic not be forgotten. It was dangerous stuff for sure but also almost dead knowledge and she didn't want it all dying. I had a whole slew of people she'd be influencing subtly for the party to meet and slowly put the pieces together.

An alchemist that learned how to trap souls into cards and was holding his family's souls until he could find bodies to replace theirs, because they were going to die of incurable sickness and did the same soulnapping to other people. A necromancer who could only ever speak to the dead who learned about Geass and made a contract with the spirit of an old soldier to come back to life and help her and used the geass to bind him to life. He was not there against his will either. A mechanic who learned to make perfect homunculi and golems and was going more than a bit insane.

If none of this sounds powerful or dangerous enough, the original setting I had in mind was ragnarok online which is where I was introduced to roleplaying way, way back

>>53459701
I feel your pain. I want to play Shadowrun but my group refuses to learn the rules, including the GM who runs the game. His usual response to someone trying to do something is to just have them roll the dice and then decide if it works. It leads to stupid shit like him saying that spells cast on concrete needs 12 hits.

>>53459814
It's shit like that too, systems where you're SUPPOSED to be powerful because all the enemies are so powerful, that my group won't touch.

>>53454359
I remade Majora's Mask from the ground up as a D&D campaign.

It never gets past the first day. Ever.

>>53459333
The characters discovered that they had a unique power to travel outside the limits of Earth, and got involved in an ancient conflict between higher beings. It was very plot driven and there was a lot of plot.
They could basically "shadow travel" at will and I had lots of fun dealing with the insane crap they tried to pull

>>53459463
I really wanted to do good old silver age supervillainy. I also liked the figure of the goon since I read the Superior Foes of Spiderman. But I also like dicks.

Why not spin up some characters and play it solo?

GM's homebrew. Very light because he's a roleplayer, not a cruncher.
We've got five stats that go from 1 to 3, and we roll dice yahtzee-style. Every point in a stat allows you to reroll once, and the higher combination you get, the higher your success.
He said he got to this from wanting something based on russian roulette.

A character based Mortals game where the party comes face to face with their personal demons and have to fight them off if they hope to ever escape the alternate world they have trapped themselves into. Pretty much not!Silent Hill.
But it's near fucking impossible, since not even a single player I've met ever wants to play a game that is both serious and puts their character in a disadvantage. Also, the amount of people who flatly no-sell a guardian gargoyle and try to talk or fight it is just disgraceful.

I've been building a setting for a Dark Tower/Oregon Trail game. Essentially the party would travel across a continent, meeting people, exploring the wilds, I even wrote a town that is composed of nothing but mimics hidden just off the path. Big focus on gunslingers, robots and magic. Most likely would use SW. Shitty part is finding players.

>Shit has gone to hell, 80% of the crew is dead, 5% are possessed, and 12% have been driven mad
>The party doesn't know who will find them first, if a distress beacon has even been sent yet, who is alive, or indeed what happened

Essentially the ship would have had fucked up geometry from its time in the warp, cults and individuals driven mad by what they had seen while in the warp, crazy survivalists, and warp beasts prowling the halls.

Unfortunately I could never do this idea justice.

I've always wanted to run a fantasy adventure exploring world that gets thrust into the galactic stage when the party discovers they're actually in the far future and the world is recovering from the last catyclysm

I wanted to throw something together in GURPS but some recent threads made me consider Wild Talents.

>>53465414
I can't make any recommendations for systems, I'm a relatively new tabletop gamer and only have experience with Apocalypse World, Dungeon World, and Black Crusade. I hear GURPS is super detailed and has rules and splatbooks for like any setting or scenario. That could be a good place to start. What's Wild Talents?

I've always wanted to both play and gm some decent twilight:2000 stuff

>>53465445
Wild Talents is a superhero system with a realistic and gritty tone, I thought it could fit Metal Gear because it could handle both the regular person to person action (sneaking and gunfights) but also handle supernatural people like Psycho Mantis or Quiet.

GURPS was my other choice because it could also handle the autistic realistic gun porn of Metal Gear (probably better than Wild Talents) and also has some splatbooks for superpowers, but I heard that the superpower supplements work best with weaker powers and Metal Gear at its craziest can get pretty over the top like Raiden stopping a ship the size of an oil tanker in its tracks and still walking after that.

>>53454359
>>53454711
This.

As for what I've always wanted to run but never could, I've always wanted to run something like SMT3, where the world has ended and is in the process of being reborn, but the PCs use incredible magical powers to try to steer the course of the world's rebirth, fending off various factions that want to remake it in their own image or to fit their ideals.

Dwarf mining campaign. There's a cave-in, impossible to get through with all their combined might, but the small band of Dwarves just keep digging down and down. They dig into caverns constantly, and the monsters they fight just keep getting weirder and stronger.

At first, it's just goblins and moles, then it's orcs and ogres, then spiders and drow, then undead and necromancers, then kobolds and their dragon overlord, then the illusion-filled lair of Major Fae, then the remains of an ancient Dwemer-like civilization with automaton guardians, then, eventually, they awaken an eldritch God leagues and leagues below ground level. Still, pawning off the minerals and jewels they find will make them rich beyond their wildest dreams.

Their sanity drops steadily and become increasingly greedy, hot-headed, and untrustworthy of each other. They wanted to take from the mountain, but the mountain takes them.

Holy shit, has it really been 20 years?

>>53465831
I'd play that.

>>53465932
Still sounds okay to me. Anything is better when you have seen the worst that classical roleplay has to offer.

>>53465683
I've never understood this "MGS is totally gun porn" meme. I could maybe buy it with MGS5, but the prior ones, it's hardly "/k/ the game."

I've always wanted to play in a campaign is basically a wetworks squad for a medieval fantasy ruler. Where we're organized and professional and very stealth-focused. It just seems like a great solution for a lot of common frustrations: it answers why the group gets and stays together even if they have divergent goals, it provides a general theme to tie the game together, and you can fit it into so many larger storylines and still have a huge variety of individual missions. You could keep it episodic or tie stuff together in some larger arc about betrayal and trust, or just turn it into a generic "save the world" mission. It poses just enough limitation to fuel creativity while not actually preventing any good options.

Plus it's mechanically fun, at least to my taste which seems to differ from a lot of people. There probably wouldn't be a lot of big set-piece battles, at least until the party fucks up, and most of the gameplay would be about scouting and infiltration. Just because it's far and away the system I'm most familiar with I think in terms of 3.x and actually using disguise, climb, and bluff out of combat is exactly what I build a ton of characters around.

But honestly more than that I'd just like to find a consistent stable party of people that I can actually enjoy. I've met plenty of tolerable people but I just can't get into the game when people's entire knowledge of gaming (which is entirely limited to Dungeons and Dragons) is centered around internet memes that were stupid the first time I heard them. If I could just meet people who never mentioned "natural 20s" or "lawful stupid" I could finally find peace.

GURPS is best

>>53454359
>To play in
A high concept sci-fi/cyberpunk with thoughtful philosophy woven into a supportive plot, something along the lines of GitS but tailored to have an impact on the group.

>To run
A game where the players actually legitimately want to play the heroes of justice and are willing and invested enough to see it through. I was running this, but loss of player interest in story and not murderhoboing killed it.

>Bonus, to run, could not do with idea #2, could do as a player in another game
Dungeon Meshi-inspired comfy game about the little things like monster anatomy and trap components. I'd tweak some system to make it more skill and inventiveness based and make combat more handwavey and avoidance-based, or use /tg/'s Dungeon Meshi hack and modify that.

That's excusable. Hell my WoD group forgetting how many dice combat moves add and what difficulty rating they affect is excusable. Forgetting what the D20 does in D&D is not.

>>53466334

I don't mind much if it's some kind of obscure check that almost never comes up for you. My players forget how to add a single modifier to a single die for a thing they have to do several times a session, from healing to attacking to damage to skill checks. Shit drives me insane, but I can't kick them since there aren't enough people interested in playing nearby.

Playing tabletop in the Midwest is hell.

Party are elite members of the (legal)court, answering to the closest advisors to the all powerful emperor. Over time, they come to the realization that the only way to continue their duties and maintain the natural concept of order is to turn against the emperor. Build up power, confront him, get sent back in time mid-fight. Campaign switches focus to the role the players ultimately played in the emperor's ascension, discovering the time loop the world is stuck in, and breaking that loop by manipulating their younger selves, and the emperor.

I've only had this idea for a campaign for a short amount of time, but the idea's so much "something I'd like" I'm amazed I didn't think of it earlier.

Basically I'd love to run Re:Creators: The Campaign. Where every Party Member is from a different fictional universe in the setting itself.

>>53468593
What system? All I could picture is FATE and GURPS, depending on what end of the complexity spectrum you're aiming for.

So... just Ikki Tousen the RPG?

>>53468867
I was thinking I could use Mutants and Masterminds, as I've got that system mastered, and I haven't used FATE or GURPS. I think it applies quite well.

Actually, a real answer would be Degenesis.
None of my friends have even heard of it unless I'm trying to talk to them about the setting, and I don't know any other people who play TTRPGs other than the friend I ran a couple of short games for. They already don't like post apocalyptic shit as much as I do, but then you tell them there are two books, one full of lore and one full of mechanics and their eyes just glaze over. And it's not like there are any games for it online. FBM.

My cosmic horror, haunted house, recursive time paradox Hunter: The Vigil/CoC/Silent Hill game. Escaping the house is the first step, escaping the loop is the second, standing up to the cultists trying to bring forth the emptiness from beyond the stars is the end game.

Here's the thing man. Sometimes people enjoy a style or tone that is different from what you enjoy.

I would love to either run or play a really atmospheric horror game, biggest roadblock is that my gaming circles are light hearted and it's kind of hard to inspire fear in any D20 system due to the monsters being so well known.

Goddamnit, anon. Now I want to run a crime campaign with several parties playing as the various gangs and (possibly with the police to balance them) having them interact without knowing of each others existence. And possibly letting it escalate into an all out war, culminating in an IRL session with all groups present in which the city is bathed in blood, played as a battle between the parties.

This would even be easier as a GM, because the parties will generate plotlines between each other, creating suitably complex web of relations which I only need to keep track of and play out.

Fuck you for making me dream like this, anon.

>>That campaign you've always wanted to play in but never will
A comfy as fuck fantasy adventure dungeon crawl-a-palooza structured like Kuutei Dragons and Dungeon Meshi, where the party goes around killing things to sell loot, eat monsters, and find cool stuff. Especially important are lots of fun uses for dead monsters and nice meaty combat.

>>That campaign you've always wanted to run but never could
A Black Company style Reign game, where the party plays a band of mercenaries who go full Band of the Hawk.

Alternatively, I've always wanted to play a game like my sister did back when she was in high school. Her and her friends played a Vampire: The Dark Ages game for so long that they eventually transferred it over into Vampire: The Masquerade, and kept running it for a few years more.

>>53454898
I've wanted to play a similar thing, but turning earth into an ashamedly uncreative deathworld by just taking things from various franchises to fuck it up. Post nuclear earth with fallout kinda stuff, vaults and prewar groups hidden away. Add in bandits and super mutants and all radiation beasties. Then add in mad max gangs and borderlands bandits to make sure everyone is crazy. Orks and squigs too because fuck it. Zombies too, even in death this world shits on you. Best clear out the hordes too as their are wild(no hivemind) zerg and tyranids too, to whom zombies are easy biomass. Since I'm just mashing worlds too get all of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R monster and anomalies in there too. Chaos cults because fuck you, but more viking less dark robes. Think actual vikings on motorbikes and thats close enough.

This campaign could never be taken too seriously but i wanted to see how stupid and hellish an environment could be made from mish mashing.

Anything, I have been wanting to play/run for years but I have never been in a game, nobody wants to play where I live, and the few times I have tried to play online it has died before it even started.

Seriously consider Shadowrun for at least the setting, if not the system. You can drop a bunch of the fantasy races and some of the more over-the-top magic, but much of the setting is about gritty cyberpunk street crime. I think you'd have a lot of material to work with. As for the base weapons, you can just say they're shooting lasers instead of bullets.

Dark Heresy is another system/setting you can consider. That whole game seems to be built for gritty urban sci-fi adventures. Again, modify the setting and rules to your liking, but DH could be largely useful out of the box as a base set of rules and setting.

If you need the PDFs for either, search /tg/ for Da Archive, it's a rolling thread where anons share all their game PDFs. The OP posts are, themselves, PDFs linking dozens, maybe hundreds of different anon files. Check it out here >>53338067

I am a big anime guy but GMs who throw in a lot of anime style elements are the worst unless it is handled very well.
Nothing takes you out of an adventure like a DMPC activating his super form and killing the boss before your party can do 40 dmg.
Of course some anime elements can work but most of the time it feels jarring outside of an anime style campaign.

I've had this idea for a fate game set in a less stupid WH40K where players all start in the civil service and discover some HERESY in disguise on their planet. They then have to investigate, stop it themselves or somehow build a convincing body of evidence to get an inquisitor to come check it out.

Run: a Dungeons and Discourse game. All the players are artist-philosopher-astronauts in out solar system, which has been colonized by the 1980s. Edison died in a freak accident, leaving Tesla to work his technomagic, leading to a huge boom in tech. The enemy would be Andy Warhol, who is converting Art into Business Trash. They have to give chase to The Factory, his giant spaceship/arthouse.
