Playing D&D 4E, AD&D, Champions (just ended)

Running OD&D (alternating with the guy running AD&D)

Reading Runequest 6

Planning GURPS 4E fantasy game that starts this coming Friday.

Playing: Mekton

Running: Mekton and Pathfinder

Reading: Rogue Trader, Pathfinder, Mutants & Masterminds 3e

Planning: Rogue Trader, Mutants & Masterminds 3e, True 20, BESM 3e, Dream Park

Playing Yggdrasil again, Ars Magica monthly campaign starts up again next month. Our MSH campaign is probably going on hold for a bit (one of our players is about to go through a messy divorce), so the gM for that is considering Star Wars of some kind or Shadowrun (I like Shadowrun, but I can see the system being far too complex for one of the players).

Also, Diablo 3.

Running nothing ATM, but have said I'll run AFF2 later in the year.

Reading nothing.

Planning a Shadowrun Lite adaptation, again, but this one has got further than the rest and looks like it might basically work. Needs to get a playtest though, and some of the writing is awful.

Playing: The Hobby Shop Dungeon (AD&D 1E) with Ernie Gygax (DM).
Running: The Hobby Shop Dungeon (AD&D 1E), The Hobby Shop Dungeon (with the dungeon bleeding into the reality of France in 1910, transitioning back and forth from Call of Cthulhu to AD&D, with cameos from my WoD Paris by Night).
Planning: The Hobby Shop Dungeon (RuneQuest 6), The Hobby Shop Dungeon (Cyberpunk 2020/Eclipse Phase).

Playing: Dungeon World.

Running: Night's Black Agents (temporarily on hiatus for scheduling reasons.)

Reading: Mindjammers 2e, Fate of the Norns: Ragnarok, and Blood & Smoke.

Planning: Eclipse Phase, as soon as I find a Hangouts group for it.

-Playing Mage the Awakening and FantasyCraft
-Running Nothing
-Reading Pathfinder
-Planning 5e when it comes out

Playing: AD&D and Spelljammer.
Running: Gamma World 2nd ed
Reading: The Fantasy Trip and my old copy of the B/X D&D.
Planning: Emergent

-Playing  ICONS and some random one-shots
-Running ICONS (same campaign as above with multiple GMs)
-Reading nothing
-Planning I'm working towards getting a limited print run version of Bounty Hunters of the Atomic Wastelands just for my own use and my friends. Getting the technical specs right for printing is a lot more involved than I expected but I am getting there.

-Playing Nothing, work schedule in flux.
-Running Only convention demos for now (d6 Star Wars and Mongoose Traveller this weekend).
-Reading Lots of d6 Star Wars
-Planning d6 Star Wars game and Mongoose Traveller game once my schedule gets settled.

I append this stuff to my sig. Here's a bit more detail.

Playing: Vampire: The Requiem (playing a tech-savvy Makhet Carthian snoop in a coterie that works for the Sheriff) and L5R d20 (reluctant Unicorn Clan sohei).

Running: OD&D via S&W Complete (Benoist's Marmoreal Tomb dungeon).

Reading: Nothing in particular right now. Been re-reading ACKS, RQ6, Eclipse Phase and Talislanta stuff (in the tablet) in planes and trains.

Planning: Short-term, a pulpy CoC game centering on the fate of Percy Fawcett and the "lost city" he sought in the Amazon rainforest. Long-term, a lot of stuff, but after that the most likely candidates are RQ6, AS&SH and ACKS.

Outside RPGs: On the PC, WoW (since I don't really have the patience for the endgame treadmill, I mostly do BC and WotLK stuff with my level 90 Undead Warlock, and I'm also leveling an Orc Warrior), Diablo III (giving it a second chance, and contemplating whether to pick up the expansion), Guild Wars 2 (seldom get to play it but I find it fun, combat still feels challenging and far more involved than WoW), Elder Scrolls Online (played only the beta, it was fun; pondering whether to subscribe to ESO or to pick up Skyrim). On the bookshelf, a truckload of fantasy and SF to read through. On the TV, watching Breaking Bad (now on the last season) and a huge queue of movies.

I have mine in my sig

-Playing: An intermittent campaign of Lure of the Expanse for Rogue Trader
-Running: Just finished a Double Cross campaign called A.A.A.gentry and I am now building up for a long term Atlantis campaign called Unbridled Blade
-Reading: Mostly non-RPG inspiration for Atlantis
-Planning: I want to run Far Away Land when its out, and possibly return to Double Cross. I also have a few one offs of Lone Wolf and Age of Rebellion to run in the next month or so.

Quote from: The Butcher;744228Diablo III (giving it a second chance, and contemplating whether to pick up the expansion)

I really like the expansion. Even with the base game, you get a lot of the 2.0 features (Loot, difficulties); but Act 5 is an epic, it feels like you've gone on a decent quest, as opposed to just going after whichever bad guy popped up to taunt you most recently, and some of the events are brilliant. Adventure mode is... well, all of the monster-popping, with none of the story interruption. Rifts aren't as wierd and awesome as they were first presented, but they're good fun.

The auction house is gone, I kinda miss it, but crafting isn't as shit now as it was, so that makes up for it.

IMO, Reaper should have became the "new players start here" purchase, because it's just so much better than the original.

Playing: Pathfinder: Shattered Star
Running: At the tail end of Night's Black Agents, moving on to something fantasy soon.
Reading: Fate Core
Planning: Pathfinder Scarred Lands, Fate Core Fantasy.

Playing: About to start a Numenera campaign
Running: nothing (hurray for other GMs)
Reading: Numenera, Starblazers (Fate), Legends of Anglere (Fate), Flashing Blades, All For One: Regime Diabolique
Planning: Hazardous Adventures (a Fate-based attempt to marry Space Opera with Alexandre Dumas-style adventures)

Thanks for the input. I'll probably break down and get it eventually.

I enjoy the gameplay, but most of the fluff is kind of crap (even though, as I mentioned in another thread, they somehow manage a decent job of transmitting a sense of apocalyptic urgency in Acts I and III). I would kill for a Blizzard game that played like Diablo III and had WoW's chargen options, pet-using classes and fluff.
