Horror Campaign Development
Some of you may have heard me talk about wanting to do a 5 week mini campaign this Halloween. I've got my players and I've come up with the scaffolding. I sent out the following questionnaire to them. What I love about this is that I'm giving them the opportunity to actually share their real fears with me to be used as material for the game, but I have stressed that I DO NOT WANT THEM TELL ME IF THEIR FEARS ARE REALLY THEIRS OR JUST FEARS I GET TO USE FOR THE GAME. If they give me their real fears they will have a more intense experience. Once I get their questionnaires back I'll put together the actual sessions. Each session will focus on a different horror element with the guiding principle being that if they can hit it, its combat, not horror. If anyone is interested in my over all story I'm happy to share it. I just dont want to type it all out if no one is intertested. As a setting, Im loosley using a four session module called One for the Sorrow - Whispers in the Mist as my sand box. Its ideal because its already split into 4 sessions. I need 5 but I already know what my fifth session will be

What system are you running this in?
Happy to Join this amazing site.
I wanted to drop a hello and introduce myself. Im an old school gamer. Started RPG's in 1984 (yeah im that old) with Champions, the Hero System. Had to use a calculator to make my first character. Fun Times. Then I got Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness and started running it in 1987 and have been running games ever since. Ive played more games than I can remember. Different systems and all have been fun. In 1997 I had the opportunity to manager and run a Comic and Games store and did so for 3 years. I found Kult and Fading Suns them. I had already been playing World of Darkness in addition to Palladium games, (such as TMNT). Since then I use Palladium rules set to run my own world, but still enjoy a few other systems, such as Fading Suns, Deadlands and 2nd Edition World of Darkness. I hope my experience can help other in need and look forward to what I can share and the friends I will make.

@James Goodnight Oh yeah, typical Palladium stuff with the layout & quite dense rules. I was thinking about running it but realised I would have to strip the rules back a bit as my group prefers light on the crunch.
Hi everyone!
My name is Richard and I've been GMing for a group of friends for about 5 years now. We've been playing Green Ronin's Expanse system and are looking forward to switching genres from science fiction to fantasy with their FantasyAGE system (where I'll be the GM again). As a player I've played some Cypher System and some Shadowrun. Looking forward to learning more from this community

Ooh, haven't played Shadowrun in years, that's a good reminder to dig it out, thanks.
Introduction
Hello Folks! I'm Lip and I've been DMing for about 8 years now. I'm hoping to get better at it. I have mostly focused on 5e, Tales from the Loop (PbtA), Genesys (Shadowrun), and Call of Cthulhu 2nd Ed. I'm open to exploring new table dynamics and tips and tricks to keep the game interesting and engaging while managing table expectations. It's nice to be here and excited to connect with other folks.

Introduction post :)
Hey there! I'm Alex Jannuzzi, and I've been GMing since 2020. Thanks for having me! I've been looking for other GMs who might be interested in brainstorming ideas, talking shop, etc, and landed here :) Systems I've played: D&D, Shadowrun 5e, Tormenta20, Daggerheart, CoC, Starfinder 1e, Shadowdark. Systems I'm about to play: Fabula Ultima, Starfinder 2e, and Beyond The Tall Grass (PKMN homebrew system I'm working on and will be GMing on a stream) Cheers!
