The (Near) Future of Roleplaying

I want to run one of the following GURPS games on Monday nights.  Information on all of them can be found on LinoIt which is also the best place to leave feedback.  If you live near Asheville, NC and would like to play then please either post on the Lino, leave a comment, or drop me a line.  Thanks.

-------------------------

Setting: London 1888
Style: Story-based at the start; expected to last 4-6 sessions

PCs will be investigating Jack the Ripper but things will take a very unexpected turn.

Depending on how things turn out, the game could run much longer and develop a very steam-punky "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" feel.

-------------------------

Concept: Rip off Pokémon
Setting: The various Pokemon settings.
Style: Sandbox

Instead of converting the various Pokémon to GURPS, each player will get to develop a custom Pokémon-ish companion which will stay with him throughout his career.

I won't have any particular story or supervillian in mind (at least at the beginning) but instead will let you wander the world and see what happens.

-------------------------

I've got plenty more campaigns that I'd like to run someday but those are the big ones at present. I've also got plenty of room in my monthly HackMaster 5 game at Hillside Games if anyone's interested. The next session is Saturday after next (the 31st of July).

Haiku Character Summaries

I've been bitten by the haiku bug and wrote haiku character summaries for some of my roleplaying characters.  They're still a bit rough but I'm so excited about them that I just had to share.

-------------------------------------------------------

Manny, system-less game as well as HackMaster and Shadowrun

no more mindless thug
this lowly tavern keeper
an ogre of peace

-------------------------------------------------------

Arauhir, party face, kalashtar ardent, D&D4e

her beauty serves her well
muddling the minds of men
hiding great sword skill

-------------------------------------------------------

Qasali berserker/cleric/monk, GURPS

his berseker rages
exiled him from his homeland
so he heals his foes

-------------------------------------------------------

"RAT", street rat in 2112 Texas, GURPS

poor homeless orphan
possesses a great secret
gets by on his luck

-------------------------------------------------------

Manny's is the one I'm proudest of.  Manny also happens to be one of my favorite characters.  I've had a great deal of fun writing his story.  Rat's and Arauhir's need a lot of work but I'm stuck.  What do you think, humble reader?
