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.

I have pretty open tastes, and my group is willing to go with it so I've run my fair share of different games: RIFTS, Exalted, Mekton Z, Cyberpunk 2020, BFRPG, D20 Future, Adventure!, and probably a couple more I can't remember.

I rotate my GM duties with a friend, so I've had a chance to play in D&D 3x, SW D20, Exalted, and Aberrant.
Running: Dogs of WAR - Beer & Pretzels & Bullets
Planning to Run: Godbound or Stars Without Number

Peregrin

Currently playing Pathfinder, with ACKS and Fantasy Craft coming up in the next week.

Going to be running Fiasco, ghost//echo, maybe RC/Basic D&D, and various other indie/old-school games.

I just received my copy of Legends of the Wulin in the mail, and I'm super-stoked to see how the system fares in actual-play.  I also have a copy of the Over the Edge 20th Anniv. on its way, and I got the PDF for RuneQuest 6, but I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.

As far as unreleased/new products, I'm looking forward to Night's Black Agents.  I'm still unsure about GUMSHOE, but the concept for this game is pretty slick, and I liked Ken Hite's work on the mythos in Trail.
"In a way, the Lands of Dream are far more brutal than the worlds of most mainstream games. All of the games set there have a bittersweetness that I find much harder to take than the ridiculous adolescent posturing of so-called \'grittily realistic\' games. So maybe one reason I like them as a setting is because they are far more like the real world: colourful, crazy, full of strange creatures and people, eternal and yet changing, deeply beautiful and sometimes profoundly bitter."

I'm playing DnD Next on Roll20 as I write this.

I run a lotfp campaign.

I've run several years-spanning Rifts campaigns.

I live in Columbus, used to publish a local gaming magazine called the Mother Planet, and am a college student.
Like everyone else, I have a blog

Hi.

I have played/run in past two years: Stalker RPG, Trail of Cthulhu, Red box D&D, Dragon Age, D&D 4e, Warhammer 3e, Pathfinder and some Finnish games.

Mostly one shots or small campaigns.

I'm currently working on GM book of Vihan lapset and swashbuckling-Robin Hood.

Quote from: Black Vulmea;569739So, for the newbs and the veteranos alike, what are you playing? What are you running? What would you like to be running or playing but aren't? And what new or pending product has your interest?
Hi. I'm Ben. I'm an actual Benplayer. The original, as it were.

Right now I'm running AD&D 1e.

I'm playing D&D Next with Estar as DM.

I want to run Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea right now. Other games that caught my interest lately include, Servants of Gaius, DCC RPG, Adventurer Conqueror King system. Oh and I want to run some RuneQuest 3 too. And Call of Cthulhu. There's always room for CoC. And OD&D. And some WoD games. And... and... etc.

The three latest products that caught my interest are Marvel Heroic Roleplaying Basic Game, which I grabbed on an impulse at a book store, Numenera, Monte Cook's upcoming science fantasy game, and the Swords & Wizardry Complete rules kickstarter from Frog God games, which interests me for the hardcover and the multiple stretch goals goodies.

Planet Algol

I'm Blair, I'm a mechanical insulator 1/3 of the year and a Physics Student the other 2/3 as well as a hardcore punk metal bastard.

I'm currently running an open/Flailsnails OD&D(ish) sandbox/megadungeon campaign in association with Vancouver Red Box.

I'd like to run a hard-ish science fiction game a la Traveller or Eclipse Phase, or something swords/fantasy-ish but gritty like Heroes or Runequest, but D&D is my first love and it burns brightest. When I do run Sci-Fi games it's D&D with different trappings!

I play O/B/X/A/D&D as well, and am open to trying a wide variety of rpgs, but I like the ritual routine of a regular D&D game.
Yeah, but who gives a fuck? You? Jibba?

Well congrats. No one else gives a shit, so your arguments are a waste of breath.

AndrewSFTSN

My name's Andrew, I live in London, and I've just brought to a hiatus a Labyrinth Lord (AEC) campaign I've been running (irregularly) for a about a year. Highest level reached was 4th, I don't know if that means I'm "doing it wrong".

Got back into gaming again a couple of years ago.  I'm 27 and started with an introductory set in the 1990's that came with red plastic adventurer miniatures and cardboard stand-ups for the monsters...

Now I'm about to start playing in a 2nd ed. WHFRP game, which I've never played but am sure I'll enjoy.

I don't think I've ever run a published module.  I need to change that.

Game I really want to but have never run: Traveller.  I just don't think my players would make the buy-in.

EDIT:  I guess I am also a hardcore grindcore death metal punk bastard.

Where my gaming wishlist is concerned, I like to collect games that catch my interest so I have a handful of them that I would like to work up the gumption to run:
- Any of the 40k RPGs.
- Traveller
- AD&D 1st
- don't have it, but I am really curious about Starblazer Adventures. Anyone think it's worth it to wait for that 2nd edition in the works?

Hello, I'm Jeff.

43 years old and been playing since I was 12. I work with industrial robots and love it. I read a lot, mainly science fiction and fact plus tech manuals. I have two cats and one 24 year old daughter who is responsible for all my grey hair.

I'm a big fan of Traveller (which I've done a little writing and playtesting for) and d6 Star Wars. Other games that have a soft spot in my heart are D&D 3.x/Pathfinder, Mekton, Cyberpunk 2020, Ringworld, D&D RC, D&D B/X, Labyrinth Lord, and Jovian Chronicles.

Currently starting up a Labyrinth Lord game with some coworkers and running a d6 Star Wars game out of a geek bar called Green's Tavern.
"Meh."

The Bronze Falcon

I'm Brendan, I live in Hartlepool and this is my 22nd year as a role-playing gamer.

I'm playing in a Dark Heresy campaign and preparing to run Black Crusade.  Yeah, the Warhammer 40,000 games are popular with my group.

I collect a lot more games than I play and would love to get another King Arthur Pendragon campaign going sometime.  Well, that or Marvel SAGA, because it is still the most fun I've ever had with a superhero game.

I'm collecting a couple of fanzines (The Manor, Loviatar) but nothing new has caught my eye in a while.

Ravn

Name's Ravn, and I'm a swede. Been playing RPG's for 29 years, so there's too many to mention just off the bat, and my bookshelves are filled with books (much to my wife's chagrin during our recent move to the north of Sweden).
I'm constantly reading and writing things for my favourite games (scenarios and what not), but with the earlier mentioned move I have to find new players in the area (something that shouldn't be a problem).
There's so many games I love, and I won't bore you with a huge list, but some of them are WHFRP 2ed, Unhallowed Metropolis, Eclipse Phase, Degenesis, Tribe 8, Blue Planet, Fading Suns, Ars Magica and Shadowrun. Also eagerly awaiting for the Swedish game Cold and Dark to see the light of day.

Vegetable Protein

Just finished an Essentials Only, old-school-style 4e campaign.

Currently running Stars Without Number (although they are teetering on the edge of a TPK).

Will soon be running a Ravenloft Campaign (Pathfinder) where the three players are angels (using the Savage Species method).

rabalias

I'm running a Dark Heresy campaign set on a Hive World that's been going for about 3, 4 years, and I'm hoping to finish sometime this year. I'm playing in just one regular campaign at the moment (until recently it was four, but people seem to have run out of steam a bit recently), which is a WFRP (2nd ed) campaign that uses a subset of the Apocalypse World rules for bit of the conflict resolution (main exception is combat). And I do one or two random one-offs, often of a storygamish variety, each month. This month it's a beta playtest game called Beyond the Wall which is allegedly a slimmed down version of D&D where you make up the adventure as you go along, or something.

I'm currently developing my own games for publication. I recently published a Fiasco playset based on Westminster politics called House of Ill Repute, and I'm currently working on a game designed to simulate disaster movies called Disaster Strikes!.
