I am now having fun imagining the Sacred Time rituals being carried out on a captured rhino. The rituals are spiritually sophisticated and laborious, but to the untrained eye look like painting stripes on the rhino.

"Hey, why are you riding a rhino?"

"This is no rhino, mate. This here is a genuine war zebra - here look at the stripes!" 

There is a StartPlayingGames.com Runequest campaign game with seats available scheduled for Saturdays (start at 5PM CST and run for about for 4 hours).

While I know pay to play is not for everyone (it works for me, I am joining the game), I wanted to share.

I understand the concerns but from my perspective it is win. Too many virtual games fall apart once a GM realizes how much work they have committed to. I prefer campaigns rather than short games, and by paying the GM I have a much higher confidence that the game will run as long as I like. My wife and I are in a Masks of Nyarlathotep game that we would never have committed to if we didn't think that the GM would last.

I was also in a RQG game of Six Seasons - that one did end due to several players having life changes - the GM found a slot for me in another of his games.

I could go to the pub and spend 4 hours reminiscing over games I once played while spending a lot more than $20 on beer. Or I can enjoy more gaming with the bonus of doing it as parallel play with my wife on Saturday afternoon.

Everyone's mileage will vary.

Note - although I prefer long term games I am super excited to have our tickets in hand for Chaosium Con 2023. Attending that last year with my wife was the foot in the door to the return to gaming 🙂

I have had success finding games using StartPlayingGames.com. RQG and CoC are only lightly represented but there are a few GMS so it is worth submitting custom requests.
