That's right. I'm doubling down on this GMing thing. We'll see how it goes. I figure there are a lot of people here who want to play in a Magic: the Gathering setting. It is a MTG/D&D crossover forum, after all. I guess it's time to put that to the test. The Premise: Present-day Ravnica, with Shadowrun vibes. You'll be playing as a group of troubleshooters for hire, dealing with problems that the guilds can't handle - or black ops they don't want to be associated with. Expect morally gray scenarios and interguild backstabbing, as well as character development and drama within the crew. The System: Simple D6, a free and extremely rules-light system. Ravnica has a pretty unique setting and cosmology that most stock fantasy games don't cover, and I can't be arsed to homebrew all the possible things you might want to play as. Better to use a system that requires minimal rules knowledge and focuses on the narrative aspect of the game. Players: I'm interested in having between three and five players. If this ends up being popular, it would be good to have a second GM who can pick up the slack when I'm too burned out to host. As always, I ask that all players be ready to invest the time and commitment to keep up with the thread so the game doesn't get bogged down. Schedule: I can post more or less daily. I might be unavailable for extended periods of time, but I'll definitely be able to post on weekends. If something changes my circumstances I'll do my best to let you all know. Who's interested? Sound out below. |

do you have more details about the structure of the game, e.g., have you thought ahead to what aspects you will be using? how magic would be implemented? i am asking out of curiosity, not to interrogate you. also because i kind of had an idea where each character's color alignments translated into aspects, like a Selesnya evangel's aspects would be Physical, Mental, Social, Harmony, and Order. HP in Harmony and Order can be invested in spells but they can also be attacked, like a Threaten-style spell would attack the evangel's Mental HP but it also attacks their sense of Order, hurting their ability to use white mana. i feel like i'm complicating the system now. it also makes people's mana access related to their alignment to the ideals of the color rather than their attunement to the land |

I will be using Toughness as a combat aspect and Face as a social aspect. Toughness is a catchall term for your ability to keep fighting, while Face is your credibility when you're trying to bluff or parley with someone. Magic will be freeform based on whatever skills you put down. If you write down "Orzhov magic" as a skill, you could conceivably pull off anything related to lifedrain, ghosts, money, imprisonment, and so on. The roll would have a die penalty because it's specialized knowledge. |

I haven't looked at the rules yet, but I could probably do this. |

Sorry, I've decided not to run this after all. My apologies for disappointing anyone. |
