The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.

Right, so I'm bored.
Normally, this would be pretty inconsequential.
But right now I'm bored with an idea.
We've got a lot of people here on Critical Failures, as well as a lot of games that we continually bemoan we don't get to play enough of, so on, so forth.
So let's change that!
How can we do that, Rainfall?
One of the big problems with RPGs is that everyone wants to run giant massive things that last for ages. This doesn't work on the internet, they just fall apart.
So what we're going to do is one-shots! Quick dungeons or single adventures that can be finished in a night or two. Then, we're going to post about them in this thread, talk about them, and have general fun!
Rain, you're stupid that won't work ever.
Probably not! Here's my plan!
1. Announce your game a week in advance, in this thread. Pick a night you want to run it on, a time you're available on, and whether or not you'll have pre-made characters done.
2. You get interest, again in this thread.
3. Play the game, on irc.slashnet.org, in a channel of whatever name you feel is appropriate. You can also hang out in #criticalfailures and be cool, if you're cool.
4. Post a log of the game, or a summary of events, and talk about how much fun it was!
So this is pretty much set up for system-light stuff, quick adventures, and fun times. I'll start, and show you guys how to do it.
HERE'S A GAME FOR YOU ALL
Date: Sunday, September 13
Time: 5 PM onwards, MDT (GMT -6)
The Game: Cthulhutech! An adventure in the Occult Underground of New York Arcology.
The Players: Mech Pilots and Tagers need not apply. 3 Premade sheets will be made, you can make your own character.
How Many: I'll roll with three or more. Anyone can join up.
So in one week from today, I'll be running a game. Let's see if we can get this forum buzzing.
And if you're a first-time DM/GM/ST/whatever? This is the place to post your game. Or for any game. Let's just rock out and have fun playing RPGs whenever we have the time, rather than sitting around.

Seriously, I think this has significant potential for awesome. I'm thinking about trying out some new systems for running a game at a local con in a month or so, and having [strike]guinea pigs[/strike] people who aren't the same people I run everything with to get a feel for it might be a good experience, and it'll have to be set-up as a one-shot anyway.

But really, I'll try and organise something for next week. I do have a game I need to get around to playtesting.

One of my favorite Simpsons lines.

Are you doing CthulhuTech mechs ,Tagers, or normies ?
Normies.
Date: Saturday, September 12th
Time: 10PM Japanese Standard Time (2pm BST, 9am EST)
The Game: The Mountain Witch - A group of ronin are assaulting the fortress of the nefarious Mountain Witch. But when every heart holds betrayal, who can you trust?
The Players: Character creation is a breeze in this, but I'll have a couple to give to latecomers.
How Many: Three to six slots are available!
Looks fun.
As in, I'd host one.
yesssss
Be there, or be slightly more square.
