Cthulhu is coming to a close soon, so I'll be able to take up some slack there, but it'll be on over a month at best. After that I'm up for giving a number of games a shot including: - Earthdawn (fantasy RPG following a plague of supernatural beings, "the horrors". c.f., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthdawn) - Twilight 2000 (alternate history where the coup against Gorbachev succeeds, a neo-Stalinist group takes over the Soviet Union and launches an attack to retake East Germany... with all that follows https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_2000).

The best I can offer for December is board games: Space 1889: Temple of the Beastmen we have played this once before. It is a board game of a random dungeon in the Space 1889 version of Mars. Each player controls a character with different goals and advantages but the game falls short of being an actual rpg. Battletech: Battle of the Featherwieghts! The last couple of times we tried to run battletech we couldn't fit a game into the time available. Therefore I suggest the following measures to speed things up. Each player has *one* unit of up to 1000BV. No aerotech. Mechs, tanks, VTOL, battlearmour naval and infantry ok. We run two players per board so we get through turns much faster. *Free* pdf of BV of all units here: http://www.battlecorps.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=2730 Quoting lev at rpgreview.net: >> Hi Remember me? > > Hmmm....
