#RPGaDay2015 1: Forthcoming game you’re most looking forward to

Last year we celebrated Autocratik’s #RPGaDay, where we spend a month celebrating RPGs, discussing what we love and what we love about them. Here are the responses of the TRF crew. Be sure to tweet, blog, or post your own with the #RPGaDay2015!

For August 1, What is the forthcoming game you’re most looking forward to?

Aser: I’m most looking forward to two very collaborative games on the grittier side of their genres. Blades in the Dark is an industrial fantasy game where your party take on the roles of a street gang trying to make a name for itself, while Scavengers is another team-based outing where you head up a crew of scrappers trying to make a living in the cold void. Both games place emphasis on teamwork and speed of play, so I’m anxious to see how much they can deliver on their promise. As a bonus, Blades was built from the ground up to be endlessly hackable, so we’ll have to see what TRF can do when we get our grubby little hands on it.
Chuck: No Thank You Evil. It is odd that I don’t have kids but I am looking forward to this game.
John: Burning Games’ FAITH: The Sci Fi RPG, and my hardcover Call of Cthulhu 7th ed book…
Jonn: Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition
Landan: I think it would be my friend’s original campaign he is doing using the Pathfinder rules. We are playing Gestalt style characters so it is pretty crazy but his setting is really cool.
Megan: The Horrors of War set of adventures for Call of Cthluhu by Adam Scott Glancy and John H. Crowe that was funded through Kickstarter! This set of adventures is set in WWI and I can’t wait to play/run them.
Patrick: The Witcher RPG. If there is as much story in the fluff for the Table Top version as the PC game, then I’ll be hooked for some time.
Rob: Anything Firefly RPG
