It means a lo...Thank you everyone for your concern. It means a lot. <br /><br />In case it wasn't clear from previous posts, this group isn't quite right for Star Trek, and vice versa. Some members would be down for it, others less so. <br /><br />The very reason I chose to run The Orville with this group is so I could avoid the hang-ups of Star Trek (continuity, setting knowledge, and being morally upstanding). <br /><br />The idea of running a D&D game (or at least my D&D-But-Not setting) is really just to give my girlfriend a taste of the RPG classic. She feels that in order to really be a gamer, you have to have played D&D. It's like a right of passage type think. It isn't my personal preference, but it is a setting and genre my players really love.<br /><br />After that we are gearing up for Traveller, an old favorite of mine. <br /><br />Stay tuned for more.Adam Dicksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840144928096089178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-60679743810415105842018-01-28T00:27:21.617-05:002018-01-28T00:27:21.617-05:00So sorry for your loss, Adam.

I agree with Blacks...My condolences for your loss.<br /><br />I agree with Blacksteel. <br />I think this Orville Adventure was a great firewall to find great Star Trek players. <br />Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01213481870704579199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-9624402668447227362018-01-25T17:25:52.018-05:002018-01-25T17:25:52.018-05:00Given what you were describing here I thought you ...Given what you were describing here I thought you were going to switch it back to a "real" Star Trek game. You have everything you want in your player group there and they seem to be into it, and you're going to switch to a Fantasy campaign? <br /><br />This is probably coming from the "distant" view of things and you know what's happening at your table better than I do but I'm curious why a Trek game isn;t the answer here.

I'm opting to go with an ultra-simple system that was designed for <i>light-hearted</i> games, ie. <b>The Red Dwarf RPG</b>. <br /><br />Our sessions are barely three hours each month, so I find streamlined, easy-to-grasp (<i>and hack</i>) systems flow better and help us get the best use of our limited time.<br /><br />That said, it's almost certainly going to be a long while before I take the reins of the group, as we are in the middle of one campaign and another players has shown interest in running a game (<i>he's never run one for us before, so I'm not going to stand in his way or start talking up my game while this new one is still brewing</i>).Tim Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03845783872464372488noreply@blogger.com
