This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Actually in a lull. Working on some Traveller adventures, some Wilderlands adventures, and thinking about spinning up a Gamma World or Mindjammer game. Check back with me at Christmas time.
Blackmoor grew from a single Castle to include, first, several adjacent Castles (with the forces of Evil lying just off the edge of the world to an entire Northern Province of the Castle and Crusade Society's Great Kingdom.

Sorry, haven't filed one of these consent forms before. Is the equipment list you provide all that is required to lodge?
I just wanna fight some fuckin' dragons! Is that too much to ask? - Ghostmaker

In addition we have generally required a wire harness, two spotters and a sensitivity consultant for each player but we've curtailed those requirements recently in favor of simple moral outrage. It's cheaper and less insurance-intensive.

Between campaigns in my regular group. Ran a little sci-fi PbtA-lite game called Offworlders last session. Not sure what to do next time. Maybe some Maze Rats. The classes are uninteresting, but the magic-spell-generation and the tables are a delight to my senses. I ran a PbP game of it for a while until the players mostly dropped out.

Running two funnels of DCC at Big Bad Con this weekend. First time at a con for me. Playing in a Mouse Guard game there, the only other game of DCC at the con, and something called Tunnel Goons.

Playing nothing regularly. Almost made it into a Burning Wheel game online a couple months ago but the GM wasn't really working out, and she moved it to a different day so I had to drop. I really enjoyed character creation and making up the world with the others though.

Planning on trying to get my regular group into a new campaign. Have yet to decide on a system. Need player input and some motivation first.

I'm afraid this command lacked either the disdain or moral righteousness to warrant obedience. Please light something on fire and dash you arms into the air as if they were unwanted thought-criminals who just objectified one another.

Also, I'm simply APOPLECTIC you spelled Nazi correctly. A little TOO familiar Mr. Spinach Cat? Hmmm?

Prepare for flatulent depersoning and exile to another forum with a lower resolution! Probably one of those Old School Reprobate places where old men scowl at one another with faded plastic dice and 8-bit wireframe glasses.


**cough**

Cool to see how varied we are in our game choices. More! MORE! Share!! You strange RPG cultists! Pour forth your sweet songs of RPGdom!!

LOL! Kudos Trentin! And I agree, the variety is quite coolio.

As for my RPGing, I'm all in on the final writing stages for two RPGs to be "playtest ready" by Christmas hopefully, otherwise spring. As for actual play, I'm doing playtest stuff for friends' projects so its kinda less gaming and more "analyze during play", but I enjoy that immensely too.

Quote from: Spinachcat;1108081Please post a Far Trek review with actual play discussion!

It'll be weird. I was mainly playing with my fiance and her two sons (ages 11 and 12). The PCs were like Spock, Harry Mudd, and Gowron.
"Meh."

Quote from: danskmacabre;1108085I haven't played or run anything for about a year now perhaps. I've sort of got bored with RPGs and the effort required vs return.

But of late, there's been some talk about the Adventures in Middle Earth RPG and I ended up getting the Player's guide, Loremaster's guide.
I've had a good read of them and discussed with friends.
There's been a bit of interest stirred up over it and as I'm a massive Tolkien fan, I might actually dust off my dice etc and run it.

Im in the same position. Though I've started looking over The One Ring to give it a go again if provided time and players.

Also I've had an earge to run BECM/RC D&D and go thru some oldie classic TSR modules like GDQ-series and use Dave Arnesons Blackmoor as setting.  With visits to the original dungeon itself below Castle Blackmoor, Temple of the Frog, City of the Gods etc. Lots of material to go over.

Quote from: trechriron;1108063What about you folks? What is theRPGsite playing or running these days?

Playing:
- Monday nights AD&D Greyhawk game with our very own TheDungeonDelver
- Saturdays is our alternate/summer AD&D campaign set in a homebrew world run by one of our regular players in our Wilderlands AD&D campaign; we play in that game when our WL DM is on hiatus from June to October each year due to GenCon prep and work seasonality
- Occasional 1:1 mega-dungeon AD&D game run by my 11 year old son
- Occasional group AD&D game run by my 11 year old son for a bunch of school friends

Running:
- Occasional AD&D game for my kids set in my version of Castle Greyhawk
- And I'm planning to launch a brand-new AD&D game set in Greyhawk for 1-2 concurrent groups, here in Wichita; there was a lot of interest in Greyhawk and AD&D in the local FB gaming groups, and I've been itching to DM a regular game again for awhile, so the timing worked out!

If the new Greyhawk campaign doesn't work out, I'll run some CoC.

Allan.

Running:

Edge of the Empire - set in the Old Republic era during the Cold War between the Republic and the newly emerged Sith Empire. The players are a team of Bounty Hunters caught in the middle of rival Hutt Kajidics in the Arkanian Sector (aka the Slice - where most of the spice-manufacturing and distribution hub to the rest of the galaxy). Imperial and Republic proxies are helping/opposing the different Kajidic factions in a sector that is supposed to be neutral territory threatening the whole situation to go Hot.

Still running my play by post game. It's survived a website/forum change, several system changes, players joining and leaving, rules lawyers and personal disasters (e.g. marriage breakup) in the almost 10 years it's been running since 15th October 2009. Down to two players now and real life has slowed the game down somewhat but its still chugging along. A superhero game, the players have fought all sorts of challenges off including godlike demons, nazis (of course), robot invasions, zombie apocalypse, normal street crime, a civil war style all heroes must be destroyed campaign and currently the Earth has been taken over in an X Com style scenario. The rest of the team are in deep space having been shrunk into a microverse, deposed an evil empire run by a former superhero turned bad and currently ride out about in a sentient moon trying to find their way back to Earth whilst being hunted by various nefarious alien factions.

Started with the Golden Heroes rules set (which was so house ruled as to be almost a new game), currently on a very house ruled DC Heroes rules set which ditches the tables and hero point mechanics and speeds things up no end. As far as play by post is concerned, the original Golden Heroes game was superb for street level and tactical type combat in a play by post format. Unfortunately when the characters were imbued with godlike power (to defeat godlike demons) the old rules tend to not scale up so well. DC Heroes hands cosmic just fine (but falls down nearer street level as everyone was almost the same, stat wise, hence the rules change).

Phew!

10 years. Where does the time go?
