So what is the "Legion of GMs?" We're a small group of RPG gamers. All of us are GMs and the group was formed with the idea of doing a rotating schedule where everyone GMs a game. The rotations last around 6-8 weeks each and the GM for the current campaign gets to choose what game and so on and so forth. We play on Tuesday nights from 8pm to 12am US Eastern time pretty consistently (barring holidays) and use Discord to communicate out of game. So, what kinds of games are run? As a group, we're open to try most any game system/setting. Many of us are taking this as an opportunity to try games we haven't GM'd before, or try something crazy that our regular groups wouldn't necessarily be down for, or just enjoying being part of a group where we can actually play and not just GM all the time. Requirements for prospective players? There are only two basic requirement; that you're available to play most games and that you're willing to GM when your turn comes around. As stated above, what game/system/setting is entirely up to you as a GM for your duration and you need not tie into, take over, or otherwise have anything to do with any prior campaign that was run by any prior GM, though you are welcome to at your option. You won't be asked to run until a few rotation, so you'll have plenty of time to figure out what you want to do. So do I have to GM to join? In short, yes. The goal of the group is to learn and play more types of systems, discuss our GMing styles, improve, and to enjoy taking a break from GMing when it's not your turn. What if I've never GM'd before, but wanted to try? That's would be awesome! Every GM gets their start GMing somewhere, so why not get yours with a group where everyone takes a turn GMing? The current game on the docket is BESM, which I am GMing. We'll be starting that game on the 28th, taking next week to finish up character generation. Games that have been played with the Legion so far: Tesseris (homebrew) Vampire: The Masqurade Hollow Earth Expedition Shadowrun Numenera Dresden Files Marvel Heroic Black Crusade (homebrew mod) A Song of Ice and Fire Burning Wheel Gold Uncharted Worlds Fiasco Iron Kingdoms BESM (Current Game) The hook for the BESM Game: Your character (you) is suddenly, unexpectedly gifted with superhuman abilities. You don't know where, why, or how, but you suddenly have them. What they are is up to you. Because of them, you become the target of shady organizations that have no name. They want to keep your existence a secret and capture you. You don't know who they really are, but they want you for reasons unknown and they've got armed, dangerous men after you and they have a lot of pull. Suddenly your face is on wanted posters, your bank accounts seized, and you're on the run. Go. Standard BESM rules, 500 Character Points. No long-range teleportation, no mind control, and no massive wealth. EDIT: The group has generated a bit more interest than originally anticipated (between here and Reddit). In the interest of including as many people as we can, we might wind up running two different games simultaneously. Players that aren't GMing could then pick whichever of the two games to join on a first come, first serve basis. This will depend on how many people wind up sticking around however, but at the current number, it looks like we'll be running two different games/GM rotations!
