Reply: General Role-Playing:: Re: QOTD OCT 6: What campaign did you try in the past (whether as GM or player), only to have it quickly fizzle/flop/self-immolate, but dream of trying again someday?

I would say one of the most disasterous was try to run the original 7th Sea. Character creation was a mess and the rest of the system was not much better. Good idea foundered on poorly written rules. I think a fantastic Renassance/Reformation is ripe for gaming, but 7th Sea may not be the right system for it, sadly. It get both the fantasy wrong and manages to make its Pseudo-Europe so much less interesting than they real thing. The rule system is also a mess, though I hear that the 2nd Edition is slightly better.
Songs in the Key of X, an investigative campaign for Shadowrun, except my players do not seem to have the chops of interest for long form investigation. Died after an attempted restart to my sadness.
And many, many others.

I've got L'etat, c'est moi and Felix on a waiting list if someone drops out - or I'll shoot you a line if something else becomes available.
All players should generate a 'party' of 4 level 0 DCC characters and post them here. Instructions are at the top of that thread. If you're new to DCC and need any help or a lot of help, send me a geekmail/private message and I'm happy to walk you through it. Also, that thread has a link to the free DCC quick start rules, which are more than enough to play a level 0 funnel.
That thread links to the In Character and Out of Character thread. Once everyone has gotten characters posted, the game will begin in the In Character thread. Out of Character is for questions, metagame discussion and general chat.

On a side note to the shipping expenses, last time I ordered from Modiphius.us during one of these sales, they allowed us to use service discounts also. Fire, EMS, LEO, Military, and others. Some were for UK, CAN, AUS as well. https://modiphius.us/pages/service-discounts

I played one of my own games: Lincoln's Cat 🐱.
I won!
I updated the PowerPoint so that I can re-do the teaser trailer for Mugs of Madness tomorrow. And after some more prep today, I think I'll be ready to do the playthrough video too.
I ended up spending a lot of the day on non-BGG socials. I'm trying to promote both Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice and Lincoln's Cat while also trying to draw more playtesters towards Mugs of Madness.
Happy Tuesday and happy playing!
