I seem to recall saying that I wanted to run more sword and sorcery games this year, but somehow that hasn't happened. It's mostly been pulp 1930s games and Victorian Hammer Horror, with a minimal amount of Mesoamerican S&S. I'm hoping for a better haul of S&S games next year, but for some reason this year inspiration for sword and sorcery rarely struck me.

Have you ever wanted to run games in a particular genre and found yourself unable to get anything to the table?

I promised my group a superhero game months and months ago. I just haven't been able to put anything together. I generally need some sort of theme or throughline to put a campaign together (even though supers is easy to do episodically). For some reason, this time around it hasn't sparked. Still trying to get the bonfire lit so we can sit around it to tell stories.

Perhaps give Watchdogs of Killcade a try?

BTW Don't get me wrong - I've loved all the games I've run this year - but I did want to get S&S in the mix more than I managed. Irritating!

I bought Watchdogs and really love it. My personal supers vibe tends more to the 4-Color mode, though. Which is, I think, what the table is expecting.

Somewhere down the line, though!

Look on the bright side... some of us are having trouble getting anything not-D&D/OGL/OSR to the table.   It's always good to be thankful for what you have on Thanksgiving (or the day after as I'm posting this one day late, lol!).
