Currently, I am running the Three Kings Achtung! Cthulhu adventure using my own homebrew system. This followed a lengthy campaign in the Warhammer Fantasy role-playing game universe, and prior to that we played some Trail of Cthulhu. My horror bent has been driving our games for a while, so it might be time for a change of palette.
For something a little less dark, but still not too light, I’m intrigued by the upcoming Rogue One movie and thinking perhaps an early Rebel adventure is in the offing. Otherwise, I’d likely be drawn to run more Trail or Call of Cthulhu, possibly Night’s Black Agents. But, something a little less horror focused might be a good change of pace. We’ll have to see.
