Just as the question asks. For our purposes, "play" includes running or GMing a tabletop RPG, online or in person.

Very brief 4th edition D&D, now 1st Ed for the past year or so.

We had a period of time were we tried quite a few new systems out (WFRP 3e, Numenera, 13th Age, L5R, Star Wars EoE) but I suspect we will settle down to a period of playing 5e once that comes out.

Since August 2012, I've played D&D4e, nWoD (Mass: the Effecting and Mage: the Awakening), ACKS, M&M1e and 13th Age.

All in person/tabletop, ACKS I ran, the others I was a player. Easy to check, since we've been podcasting all our sessions since March 2011.

I've run WFRP, Mongoose Traveller, Savage Worlds, Call of Cthulhu and OD&D; played L5R d20, nWoD (Vampire: the Requiem and Changeling: the Lost) and now Numenera.

Not a lot of long-lasting campaigns, sadly, but a decently varied diet. Now the other GM and I are hellbent on having at least one long-lasting game in place.

Still looking for a chance to run ACKS (this one just demands a long-lasting campaign), RQ6, nWoD (Mage: the Awakening and Hunter: the Vigil being my favorites), Eclipse Phase, Aquelarre and yet more CoC, Traveller and WFRP.

Heh - wow, I blew the lid off the top of the survey.

I counted a little more generously - since 1/1/2012 (so, 2 and a half) it's been - on the conservative side - 17 (16 since July 2012). Those 17 worked out to approx. 35 or so sessions of play.

Mostly as GM. I've taken to tracking my games into RPGgeek. Taking a glance shows the following systems:

Other Worlds
Conspiracy X (2nd ed - Eden)
Dungeon Crawl Classics (running Slumbering Tsar ... )
GURPS (1st / 3rd ed, running Harn ... )
Hard Nova II
Swords & Wizardry Complete (running A-1 Slave Pits ... )
Magic World
EABA v2
Fate Accelerated
Fate
Heroes & Other Worlds
Ancient Odysseys: Treasure Awaits!
The Morrow Projects 4th edition
Lords of Gossamer & Shadow
Arrows of Indra
High Fantasy (yes, the old one from the 70's)
Rolemaster 2nd ed

I do like a wide variety of rpgs and rpg-like games. :)

It was a one-shot, and surprisingly playable. The uber-chart that runs it looks like an eye-sore, but actually functions well.

Lets see if I remember them all

Home Brew fantasy - Based off a single d10. About 11 pages long with examples and magic system.

Homebrew Space - Based off 7th sea, somewhat modded - Mostly like Firefly in feel with a touch of Babylon 5 for the Psionics (Psicore mostly)

Amber - DRPG

Basic D&D 5th edition - PbP

Gamma world 4th edition

3.5 D&D

4th Edition D&D

Starter set D&D - not sure if that counts different than Basic :)

Think that covers it.

Mekton II
Moldvay Basic D&D, AD&D2e
Pathfinder
WHFRP3e
and I think there was a D&D4e session just in the time range specified.

So 5 different games, because all the classic D&Ds are the same thing in my gaming.

D&D, Dungeon World, Fate, X-Crawl, Fantasy Trip.

I'll play damn near anything, at least once.  What I'll buy, or ref, is a different issue.

Dark Dungeons
ACKS
D&D 5E (playtest)
Fate Accelerated Edition
World of Darkness (new)
Star Wars - Edge of the Empire
Black Crusade
Dark Heresy

Most of those were fairly brief one-shots or PbP games that didn't get very far before dying off.

Pathfinder, because it's run by the one online text game place I actually like and because none of my friends live nearby (and I live out in the boonies).

Post by: Blacky the Blackball on July 31, 2014, 07:24:38 PM
Our campaigns usually last somewhere from six months to a year, so each of my groups will only have played three or four games in any given two year period. As it happens, both groups have each played four games in the last two years. All our playing is face-to-face.

With my main group of fortysomethings (playing about every other week)...

Mage: The Ascension (first edition core book only - I've had the game since the week it came out and this is the first time we've actually played it after over 20 years).

Deadlands (again first edition core book only - this campaign ground to a halt due to intra-party strife that ended up with a gunfight and lots of dynamite exploding; but everyone was cool with that).

Blood, Guts & Glory (that's my d20/Rolemaster 2e mash-up set in post-apocalypse Elizabethan England).

Eldritch Skies (John Snead's Lovecraftian sci-fi game - which to me is Lovecraft done right; we started off with the Unisystem version but while we loved the setting we didn't get on with the mechanics so half-way through the campaign we switched to the new Savage Worlds version which we're liking a lot more).

My secondary group, mostly comprised of the teen and pre-teen children of the primary group, have played (playing most weeks)...

D&D 4e (the adults were fine with this, but the kids didn't like it much so we stopped quite quickly).

D&D 3e (with my "3.Y" house rules which cut out the min-maxing and  bring it closer to AD&D; the kids thought it was too complicated - they're used to Dark Dungeons - but they happily played to the end of the campaign).

Masks (my mash-up of ICONS and FASERIP Marvel; everyone liked the system, but the kids weren't really that into the superhero genre, so the campaign didn't last very long).

5e Playtest (we're still playing this - we'll switch to the PHB when it comes out - and thoroughly enjoying it; everyone prefers it to both 3e and 4e).

Two or three, depending on how you want to count it. Dresden Files RPG, I've tried to run a couple of things in Fate Core, and Fight!.

Oh, and I already voted, but I realized that within the last two years, I've also played a (very) little D&D, and tried Amber. Once.

Oh, I forgot that I tried and failed to run Cortex Plus. Three or four sessions, and it wasn't the system that collapsed-- though it has the same problem as Fate, in that there's not enough advancement.

DCC (Player)
Rifts (Player)
Currently playtesting a homebrew called "The Lost Star" which is d12 and skill buy based. Really light with a strong sword and planet vibe. Kind of feels like a mix of Barsoom and Fantastic Planet.

EDIT: Somehow forgot my Numenera Campaign, it didn't last long because one of the players had to move for work and another had a radical schedule change in his job.

The ones that are starred are the ones I ran, the others are ones I played in.

I run an occasional D&D 3.0 game for my kids and just got involved in a play by post Wraith game. So, two games.  There may have been a Savage Worlds tabletop session on the far fringe of the five year limit.

That hasn't stopped me from buying books. It's just a matter of playing.
