Yet another gaming post.

[gridlore]

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.

<<sub-class ninja (Str & Dex 13+, Int, Con, Will 15)>>
Bard (Voice, Dex, Con--mins 13+);
Paladin (Str, Piety, Charisma--mins of 15+);
Ranger (Str, Dex, Const--mins 15+);
Mage (Int, Const, Willforce--mins 16+)

Mages use spell points, figured from the sum of their prime reqs/4 for 1st level - and start as very, very weak characters
Clerics use dialog-based prayer [with bonuses given for witty prayers/optional sacrifices offered]; prayers cost a varying percentage-amount from a small pool of clerical favor that resets each day.

Just to make sure you have it -

I have a lot of files entered in for Agris - but not enough to be a real'players handbook'; I can send you a 'houserules' for Gaea [thru email, since it's quite a few pages]. Will do that next.
