Return to Pendragon.
Luke will eventually finish his Darklands campaign/system and then I'm sure he'll want to run it.

== [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbmWs6Jf5dc Pendragon - Anarchy in the UK ==
Continuing the adventures of the Ursine Order, now the most revered knights in Salisbury.
=== Mechanics ===
Almost all of us have played Pendragon in the past during the Uther Phase. The Anarchy Phase still uses the same rules, but is much more dangerous. The game takes place where each session is intended to represent one year of time in the game, and is followed by a winter phase where you can pimp out your manor, bone your spouse, and try to groom your heirs into powerful and honorable knights themselves.
Everyone plays a knight, and the sooner you accept this the happier you'll be. You can pretend to be something else, but you'll still be a knight. You can be all different kinds of knights, but everyone plays a knight.
The system is, admittedly, somewhat crunchy when it gets to the winter phase, but it's up to you how much we go into that stuff. Overall the game is all based around the d20, with d6s for damage rolls.
=== The Setting ===
Pendragon takes place during the years leading up to, during, and at the end of the rule of King Arthur. The plot for this game takes place over 85 years. This is a world of magic, intrigue, romance, chivalry, myth, war, and diplomacy. The Arthurian cycle is probably the most well-known and well-loved epic of the western world. This game's version of the myth combines Le Morte D'Arthur by Mallory with the works of Geoffrey of Monmouth, T.H. White's The Once and Future King, and even some stuff from the original Welsh myths.
=== The Story ===
When we last left the Brotherhood of the Bear, our heroes had narrowly survived assassination at the hands of the vile Saxons at a feast after the Battle of St. Albans. Virtually all of the nobility of Logres was killed, leaving the land without any obvious ruler. Worse still, one of the fallen lords was Earl Roderick of Salisbury, the Ursine Order's sovereign. Salisbury is now in the hands of Robert, a young child, and is being stewarded by his mother, Earl Roderick's widow.
Currently the land is torn between the threats and blackmail of Saxon lords from Sussex, Wessex, and Essex, the promises of Briton kings from the north and west, and the rumors of an heir to Madoc, Uther's fallen son. The knights of Salisbury have a chance to influence the decisions of the Countess and determine the future of Salisbury.

ARE YOU READY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLE!?!?!?!?!
=== Mechanics ===
This game is another Apocalypse World game, just like Monsterhearts. It's the same basic system, but with a bent towards Pro Wrestling. The game encourages big, overblown antics. Each match involves two wrestlers, either with one or both being a player character. The matches are fast-paced to avoid excluding people, and during the matches other players act as announcers, giving ridiculous descriptions of the action and even putting the wrestlers over when they fuck something up to make the audience believe it was all part of the action.
=== The Setting ===
You'll all be middle card wrestlers in a regional wrestling chain in the 1980s, the era of hilarious, ridiculous gimmick wrestlers and steroid abuse.
=== The Story ===
As wrestlers in a regional wrestling organization in the Pacific Northwest, you'll tour around the west coast as you quest to rise through the ranks and grab the championship belt! Along the way you'll deal with politics, both kayfabe and backstage. You'll fight for position and camera time and the love of the audience. If you can get enough attention, you'll be rewarded with amazing opportunities.

Adventures in medieval Germany.
=== Mechanics ===
I'm building my own pen & paper system which converts the best aspects of a 1992 computer game into a tabletop game. The game system is quite a lot like Top Secret, in that most stuff is handled by d100s. I'm also making some physical tools to help with the gameplay since one of the coolest things about the game is that as you fight you get worn out and become fatigued, meaning that rope-a-dope is a viable strategy in this game. It's quite realistic, in that a guy who is barely hanging on to life will not fight as well as a well-rested warrior. The tools I'm building will allow you to slide and adjust based on your current stamina and strength so that it can do all the work on telling you what your weapon effectiveness will be like.
Another cool thing about the game is that you will be able to make a lot of decisions for your character based on their class, their upbringing, their education and training, and their career aspirations. You can be a lifelong soldier, a wandering monk, a scholar, a merchant, a woodsman, a vagabond, or maybe you've been several of those things throughout a long, eclectic life before joining a small group of adventurers for drinks at a Berlin tavern.
=== The Setting ===
This game is set in 15th century Germany, as perceived by the Germans of the 15th century. It's historical fantasy, where dragons - while rare - do lurk in the mountains. Where mines can be overrun by knockers and dwarves. Where wildmen, monsters, and witches hide in the woods.
Satanic cults, religious orders, traveling alchemists, and robber knights are just a few of the enemies - or allies - that you might meet.
=== The Story ===
A varied and diverse group of people meet in a tavern, itching to get outside the city walls and seek out adventure. There's always work for mercenaries and sell swords in the countryside. You make your decisions. Do you want to hang out in the city for a time, becoming a group of local heroes by cleaning up the streets as vigilantes? Or do you want to set out of the city to search for fortunes in the woods outside? Do you want to ask for work from the Medici family's banking empire? Or perhaps the church might have need of your services?
Your only mission at the start is to make a profit and become famous. Each character will be tasked with coming up with their own goals and desires, which may just conflict with others in the party. Over time, you just might find that there is something more sinister going on in Germany, of course...
Like Nazis. Fucking Germans.

You know you want to play it, people. WHO SHOT CAPTAIN PICARD?
= Benjamin's ideas =
I will eventually finish my campaign/setting to follow up from my [[Seldon Plan (2015)|preview]] test campaign.
I'll put more information here as I flesh it out.
