so, our campaign is finally coming to its near close. its been.. 9 months? i cant believe its been so long.
what do you guys do between games? break for a bit?
granted, we prolly have a couple months maybe if that left. our experienced player in the group has started talking about deadlands i think with me seeing what i wanted to do after our game ws finished. i should go look it up but i think its something to do with cowboys. oh that sounds fun.

I don't have any experience with Deadlands.
Are you finishing up the campaign or are your players just losing interest in the one you have?
You don't necessarily have to play an entirely new system. Sometimes just playing a new type of theme can be good for people that want something new. Like instead of having a Ravenloft dark and gritty type game with undead and other gothic horrors you could have a standard fantasy adventure, or one set in a ancient Egyptian type setting with mummies, pyramids, and pharos, and ancient Greek mythology type game, a Norse inspired game, a game where you visit different planes of existence, or just something else off the beaten path.
Maybe to keep things fresh each week you could alternate weeks where you play something like a standard fantasy game one week and then go on to play a science fiction game the next week or some other similar thing where both games are pretty different.
Of course there is nothing wrong with giving a new system a try if that's what people want to do either.

While I haven't played Deadlands myself, it has a big following. Especially the SW version.
As far as what we do between campaigns...well, usually it's the group taking a vote on what they want to do next. Once they decide, depending on what was decided I usually need a few weeks to prepare so if any game days fall when I'm preparing, it's usually board games or a one shot of something.

no loss of interest, we are reaching the climax and the excitement is all happening now. its been a good run and real fun im just prepping for the end. of course, i have a spinoff already conceived and ready to go when/if the time comes. the real issue is all the newbies who are still really learning 4e, including me. learning a new system is can potentially to be an issue for some of us. but yeah, i've been always thinking of a more classic old school setting as well.
man, not enough hours in the day to do all the gaming one wants.
yeah, thats exactly what we're gonna go. ask and see what the interest is when its all over. personally, im voting to play in this cowboy shit. it would be good for me to be on the other side of the screen. i havent been a player in over a year i think and that was the guys suggestion. he wanted to make sure i was having fun and offered to run something so that i can play. ill give it a go.
and yeah, we got lots of other games for backup. pokemon got really popular with the entire group so we play it all the time.

To be completely honest, if it's Savage Worlds, I don't think anyone will have issues learning a new system. I've taught people who had never even seen any die aside from a d6 in childhood board games how to play in 10 minutes or less. If he goes with the d20 version then while it's not 4e D&D, there will be a lot that's familiar. If it's GURPS, then it's fairly easy. It's not unfamiliar from d20 because there's a lot of the same terms and elements.
Never be afraid to learn a new system.
I love this game..

Well, the last Vampire game went amazingly well. For some reason there's more gaming and less fucking around these days. Anyways, I discovered a new way to torment them. Have the head honcho reward them for finishing a task. They fucked up (but did finish the task), so they were rewarded. My husband tells me later on "I don't feel right about this...". Mwahaha. Is it the DM being nice, or is there something more sinister brewing? Only time will tell....

The most disturbing part is that my reward felt like a punishment for the head librarian who hates my guts.... I have a feeling this might now end up going very well...
Crazy conspiracy theory time, even though I know it’s probably not it. Maybe the person giving them the task is really a mole for the enemy, and he's doing what he's doing because he knows they will continue to screw up.
If he went somewhere else those people might actually succeed.Of course maybe it's more obvious and he's just planning to get vengeance on the group in a more poetic, excruciating, and humorous way for their failures and is toying with them.
Not that I would ever do this because it's kind of cruel, but another way a DM can be vindictive is to take your players' treasures and other goodies away from them. Some of them will dislike that more than their character dying. That's why the rust monster and black pudding are so scary to go against.
