Steve here. 31, married with a 13 month old daughter.

I've been playing tabletop RPGs since 1995, give or take, but back then we pretty much only played AD&D (2ed), and I remember trying out Shadowrun once.  Took a break in college when I couldn't convince any of my friends to give it a try, and then just started playing again via Google Hangouts about 2 years ago.  Since then, I've been trying out a little bit of anything I can get my hands on with my group.  I never used to GM but I'm pretty much the only one who's willing to GM for my current group -- so that's been a change.

RPGs / Re: THE QUEUE: Whacha got in YOUR gaming pipeline

New on the forum (though I lurked for quite a while before registering) and figured I'd jump in here.

I'm just about to finish up Fear Itself: Invasive Procedures with my group.  After that I have a few in my queue.

• A Dirty World:  I'm going to try to run a Sci-Fi (Star Trek inspired) one shot with it.
• Wushu: One of my players has been asking for some comedy, so I'm going to steal the 1980s League of Extraordinary Gentlemen idea for a one shot.  Lineup is John McClane, Peter Venkman, Doc Brown and Henry Jones Sr. (still alive in the 80s because he drank from the grail).
• More A Dirty World: I'm working on modern day noir set on the Hopi/Navajo Indian reservations.
• Night's Black Agents: I'd like to run this, but I'm not sure yet how I would structure a one-shot game -- thinking about picking up the The Zalozhniy Quartet and running one of those to get the feel.
• Trail of Cthulhu: Saving The Dance in the Blood scenario as a backup game.
• Call of Cthulhu: One of my players loves Disney a little too much, so I joked I was going to write up a Disney CoC scenario. I've been slowly working on one, inspired by the Candle Cove game (and Ross' love of Carcosa), that focuses on a lost Disney movie about the King in Yellow... Premise is basically that several of the animators/crew of this Disney movie disappeared after making the move and that Disney then shut down production and hushed up most of the rumors.  But it's a popular conspiracy theory in the interwebz nonetheless.  The players will be Disney enthusiasts obsessed with finding the movie... and Carcosa?  Most of my work so far has involved trying to make a Disney version of Cassilda's Song in Garage Band (despite much filtering, transforming and auto-tuning my voice is not sounding very Disney like).  I probably won't put a lot of work into it until I have the song to my liking, so this might belong in the would like to run but probably never will category.
