Actually, I backed it on Kickstarter, and I have it both in hardcopy and PDF already. <grin> Helen and I are poring over it with plans for Warriors' World.
And I know I already said it in private messaging, but welcome back to the boards, Geoff! For those who didn't know, mephron had the handle "Talienas" back on Yuku. (I have, of course, done the usual reassignment of posts so that he has all his old history.)
I don't know if I want to be ecstatic, or bummed.
On the one, its back. on the other, I have no one to play with.

Hey, Bob, what would you say to the idea of a Play By Post area on the forum?
(Like Star Ranger, I am also currently between groups.)
That actually sounds liuke a great idea. I amn't sure if I've the creativity in my head for a PBP game of @*anything* but I did just hack together a character for a Necessary Evil gamew my local gaming ghroup is starting up s, hmm, I might try a hat into the ring for that....
I'll be happy to create an RP area -- as long as I'm not expected to GM anything. <grin>
If people would like a GM, I can do it....
The last game I GM'd did go rather well, though mostly thanks to the players being competent. I do tend towards the 'Schroedinger's Railrod' style. Out of sheer laziness. And very much a 'Rules are guidelines' sort of play. I'll ignore rules where they suit the game, and house-rule things on the fly (with agreement and a note to keep it consistent) to keep things moving rather than buried in a book looking for 'That One Rule'.
5th ed Shadowrun has a lot to blame for this.
I'm the GM that managed to expand the starter Shadowrun intro game into multiple sessions because I couldn't figure out where the girl was skimming the adventure so I made it up as I went into something far larger that fed into the next run. This was also the game that gave us #orklivesmatter as a meme.
It ended due to work burnout

Since I suggested it, I'd be willing to mod the group. I might even run something - anybody here play GURPS?
I'd prefer almost anything to GURPS, but my current preference is FATE, especially for online play of any sort.
