Which is not inaccurate to our current topic I suppose

Aside from the fact that it apparently refers to a gay orgy?

Right. That

The infrastructural requirements of an online DnD campaign are the ability to save/store text files, people to play with and some method of verified rolling really

Super good when they use totally innocious sounding phrases to refer to shit like that.

So like, unstoppable shitlordery really

Of those three, the second is the hardest to aquire.

By far.

Yeah getting people's schedules lined up for 2h weekly or biweekly is a pain

I think the biggest hurdle I have to overcome is finding a world I can get into. DnD is by far the most renowned but just kind of tired of the whole Anglo Mythology aspect of it

There's plenty

Pick your poison. There's sci fi, cyberpunk, cyberpunk fantasy, Japanese fantasy, western fantasy, noir fantasy, modern fantasy and a multitude of historical games, off the top of my head

And by western fantasy I mean Old West with supernatural elements

Same game has a Noir variant

Western Fantasy sounds pretty cool

Then there is stuff like Weird scifi/fantasy mashup.

Deadlands my dude. Just make sure you look at Reloaded and not OG unless you like lots of math and extra rolling

Where the magic is all technology that the characters don't understand.

There's also a fair amount of scifi horror as it's own subgenre apparently.

GURPS and Savage Worlds are generalist systems overall- you can do whatever you like with em

Check out Snakes & Saloons, it's DnD5e conversion.

>D20 conversions
I've never understood the draw of these

I don't know if it's because I got started with World of Darkness, but I've always been especially uninterested in actual DnD.

Oddly, that same distaste doesn't apply to Pathfinder.

Maybe I'm just a hipster.

Pathfinder is basically 3.5 with newer shit

I've not been a huge fan of 3.x in some time

Basically since I started looking into other systems

Just read up on Deadlands. That sounds really cool

It's pretty neat yeah. The artwork is 👌 as well

It's funny actually, in the two PnPs I like most, Shadowrun and Deadlands, the South does indeed rise again

Few things are cooler than a Cowboy

Shadowrun is a weird game to me. I love the setting, but I've never had an easy time coming up with a character concept for that game.

Really? I come up with so many that more than half become NPCs

I think the best I ever had was an Ork Rigger that got his start as a CSA soldier, then became a PMC, then became a shadowrunner to cut out the middleman.

The problem I had was that I had so much money at character creation that I didn't know what to do with it, but I got the impression that if I took less money, I might not have enough to get what I needed.

My last two characters were a hardworking Ork getaway driver who didn't want his criminal activities to come anywhere near his family and a turbostealth Face. The latter didn't get very far because the DM hated how I kept pure RP running and succeeded basically whatever rolls he asked for (until that dwarf biker gang) but the idea was going to be that he was going through a bit of an identity crisis from years of drugs and having too much fun pretending to be other people

I had a VtM character kind of like that.

The former weirded people out because I insisted on only ever using burner phones

And the campaign didn't go far enough for anyone to find out he was a SINer

It was a Malkavian that was so paranoid that he'd kind of divorced himself from his own identity.
