One topic I’ve recently been pondering is what game system to run for my Saturday group given our current campaign will wind down in a few weeks. Here are criteria I’ve come up with as my wish list for any new campaign:

One consideration for my next campaign game is making sure the dice are accessible. People forget their dice, or need to game remotely and don’t have dice, or otherwise have challenges which make having some form of digital dice option a must-have in my games. The One Ring RPG uses propriety dice. How do you game virtually using dice for The One Ring RPG? Here are some options.
Updated list of my favorite games (with QuestWords falling to #11 and D&D 5e to #12, and therefore off the list). QuestWorlds has seen many delays and until I play a commercially available version, it will fall of my list. Similarly, Wizards of the Coast recent debacle with their OGL changes and the announced future of OneD&D have left a bad test in my mouth.
I recently purchased Savage Worlds Pathfinder. Savage Worlds has some drawbacks but with some house rules to speed things up and limiting NPC explosions so you aren’t so apt to get one-shot-killed, it can be a lot of fun if you’re in the mood for a miniatures-focused game.
I had planned a series of posts with a deep dive into my favorite games. By game, I mean more than the core rules, I mean a combination of the game mechanics and playability of the game, the robustness of 3rd party products or related games, and the game community for that system.
