Based on some feed back I've been getting from some of my players I thinking of doing some West Marches Style games for C&C.
Q: What is West Marches?
A: There is a Civilized town where for whatever reason there is no danger. Adventurers do their thing because they want to be Hero's. The further out from the civilized town they go the more dangerous stuff becomes. There is no set group, and players can join any number of groups throughout the course of their career.
This system works very well with one shots, the difference being that it still gives a campaign feel, as the actions parties do are shaping the world.
Obviously this offers a great opportunity for players who can't always make regular games but want to play. It is also great for new players who are struggling to find a game and for players who simply want to try a game system.
This gives Game Masters who have busy schedules a chance to run more games as they can just give notice whenever, then its up to the players to rally a party.
I have a lot of ideas floating around in my head on how I would set this up, but before I start putting pen to paper I'd like to get some feedback on how many people might be interested in something like this.
