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.

So What's Everyone Playing These Days?

Still playing the AD&D 1e game I've been playing since the 80s, though much less frequently. I did start a 5e game which is kind of a sequel to that, taking place in a new universe created by one of my characters turned NPC after becoming a deity.

Currently playing two games, one with my established group of turbonerds and another with some rookies. The old hands are about to play Shadowrun 5e and boy am I dreading it. The GM is usually rather good though so my hopes aren't totally dashed. I'm running Godbound for them after that, so we'll see how that goes. The rookies are playing 13th Age, and it's pretty by-the-numbers: go kill the orcs, who are being jerks and killing people. It's actually pretty refreshing to have a simple campaign with a clear opponent for once instead of a bunch of conspiracies, with each one containing a bunch of smaller conspiracies, and so on. I've GMed for them in the past, so it's nice seeing the guy running it step up to the plate and take a good swing at writing a plot and so on.

Until my life got turned inside out, (work schedule changed due to an injury, and now on top of that we're moving) the wife and I were playing D&D 5E and Savage Worlds (my own SF setting) with some Ars Magica on the side.

When the dust settles and we land in the Kansas City area, I'm hoping to go back to working M-F again and return to "gaming as usual" but I'm not sure which RPGs are popular out there nowadays so who knows?

Running 0D&D, 1x a month

Playing in a 5e Campaign, 1-2x month

Working on a Gamma World & a Castles & Crusades adventure... Pretty much continuously in my spare time.


Got an idea for a new D&D campaign setting today, based on one of my original pre-1980 campaign settings. Been idly adding a few details and a new hex map for that today.
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.

I'm running a weekly DCC game on Roll20.  Homebrew setting based on lots of Irish mythology.

Prepping for a Castles & Crusades game.  I gave it a previous try, but abandoned it pretty quickly, and declared the Codex of Aihrde the most boring thing I've ever read.  Lately I've been rereading the Umbrage Saga though and compiling notes on all 6 modules, thinking it'd be a fantastic sandbox campaign to run.  Maybe I can work in a biweekly game of it soon.

I'm also running a monthly DCC game, stringing together published modules, at a KC gameshop.  Once you're settled in the area, let me know if you're looking for a group.

Quote from: Nerzenjäger;962933I'm talking about the new edition. It has nothing to do with the previous editions rules-wise. MC is helluva setting, but all the official RPGs so far were not up to the task IMHO

Ah. Ok.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

I'm running my Lamentations of the Flame Princess campaign. The setting is spun together from the many LotFP modules as well as scenarios of my own design. The game is set in 17th Century Europe. But not only is the Thirty Wars War raging, but an interplanetary war of different realities is being fought across Europe as well.

So the Duvan'Ku temple from Death Frost Doom is in the Alps. Sorcerers from Carcosa has been sending agents and spies to our world in order to take it over (to have access to more human sacrifices). And the Player Characters have tracked down a magical ship that can travel between alternate earths (Qelong, Castle Gargantua, and Isle of the Unknown, among others.) They have just arrived in Qelong, seeking a very powerful magical substance that can help them stop the invasion of the King in Yellow from conquering earth from Carcosa.
