I've got nothing

NerdNYC's quarterly gaming event

I was intending to run some Classic Traveller this upcoming Recess but inspiration has deserted me. All my ideas for CT do not lend themselves to one-shots.

I could blow the dust off The Braille Encyclopedia or Lacuna : 1950s Glasgow at a pinch I suppose.

Or some 3:16.

Not happy. :(

I'm a scenario man not a system man. As you well know...
Freemarket? Are you nuts? Hmmm. Gauntlet down...

What genres are you interested?

What type of mood / tones are you interested in?

I could help brainstorm ideas. I have so many scenarios I want to one day write / play. I'd like someone to run a Civil War game. Also a horror game set on a plane!

If you want to go with what is popular, put a monkey in your scenario!

Primarily, 'mystery to be solved'.
BE was all about triggering actual fear in the players in a Cthulhu game. Since we are so desensitized to scary stuff these days. Deep One in my bed? Meh!
Lacuna - because I liked the heartbeat mechanic.
3:16 - simple, fun, kill stuff

Pah - I got better numbers than that with BE - ask Evilyn, she was there!

I keep a gaming wiki, but I'm lazy about it.
