Yet another gaming post.

My attempt to create a local gamers filter was a crashing failure. Again, if you are local to Santa Clara, and would like to take part in a monthly game, contact me. I may set up a mailing list on Google to make things easier. Feel free to let anyone who might be interested know.

I think one problem is my intense dislike of the most popular gaming systems. I loathe the current versions of D&D, and the "old school" revolution has little appeal. Here are the game systems I really like. Feel free to give your opinions or ask questions.

  • Ars Magica

  • Dark Heresy

  • FUDGE

  • GURPS

  • Harnmaster

  • Hero System


I really want to get back into a regular game.

yeah the new version of D&D has lost me.

I did like the idea that D20 would let me intersect Traveller, B5 & Conan and even Starship Troopers.

However, now, I'm resurrecting my old Chivalry and Sorcery books to frame an infrastructure for some stories I'm writing.

Sadly, I'm too far away (by several states) to participate in a regular game and the locals seem to have divided up based on family requirements.
