I ordered the Deluxe edition of Godbound recently and it arrived the other day.

Anyone running this here?
It looks like OSR Exalted and I'm pretty excited to run it.
I'll be running a "Monkey/Journey to the west " type campaign where the characters are Demigods from the Chinese godlike pantheon and they have to get the Holy Bhuddist scriptures from India.

I also did a short Youtube overview to show off the quality of the Deluxe edition.

I had plans to run it, but then I got inspired to do the Rolemaster overhaul I'd been contemplating for the better part of a decade.

Now it will probably end up being something I run in my occasional, secondary, off-week GMing slot once I get bored with Blades in the Dark.

I do think it's an excellent product, and look forward to eventually giving it a spin.

I've been running LOTS of DnD 5e for quite some time now, but this year I want to regularly run Godbound, Stars without Number revised edition and get in some one off of Silent Legions.

I'm not running it, but I own it and have played it. I think it does Exalted better than Exalted, frankly and I like the base setting too. We've hacked it up a few times, as well, to play a Warframe oneshot and an Age of Sigmar game or two.

Got it for my birthday, not running it, but hacked it for Exalted as well and it is an amazing resource. Fantastic work by Kevin Crawford.

I got 4 players to commit to a 10 session mini campaign to loosely emulate the Monkey TV series.
Characters generated and starting next week for a midweek campaign :)

I played in a one shot on Free RPG Day. I enjoyed it. I own it as well, but having no group at the moment means no one to play it with

Nope. Don't have it, but it looks interesting.

I'm very interested to check out how Stars without number plays

I have the first session on the evening of the 23rd of January.
The first hour or so will just be character gen and an overview of the changes from the original version of SWN to the revision.

But the players played the original edition, so that should be ok.  I hope to get some actual gameplay in the same night.
I'll post my experiences of the evening here later after the session sometime.

I'll be tied up with my current campaign for most of the rest of the year, but once that draws to a close the new SWN and Godbound are very high on the list of what I want to run next. I love the new character generation and progression in SWN, but I have a real soft spot for Godbound's awesome take on playing demigods.

With a new Masks of Nyarlathotep coming soon, though, there's no telling what my group will be in the mood for once I start looking to begin a new campaign. There are just too many good games out there and not enough time to play them all. I guess that's a good problem to have, all things considered.

I have the same problem.
I'll be running Godbound soon too (a recreation of the Monkey TV series).
Plus the picking up a SWN revision campaign.

I also run fairly regularly DnD 5e, but I think I'll be scaling that back a bit as I know someone who really wants to pick up his Call of Cthulhu campaign again (the new edition), which I want to play.

That and I REALLY want to run some old Stormbringer 2nd edition stuff as one offs for a laugh.

I don't think I'll be buying into anymore RPGs  this year, well apart from the Dark ages RPG Sine Nomine is picking up development of towards the end of the year.

Too many RPGs! It's a good problem to have mind!  :D

Yeah, I've never had the time to run SWN.

Here's links to an overview of the character gen part and actual gameplay of SWN revised:

Session 1 - Character gen

Session 1 - Gameplay
https://rpgworkshop.wordpress.com/2018/02/14/stars-without-number-revised-edition-1st-gameplay/

We played again last night, Session 2, which I'll be writing up next.
I'm running SWN revised every fortnight.

I have yet to write up the first Godbound session a couple of weeks ago, which was Character gen and Gameplay.
I'm running another session this Friday of Godbound.
I'll try to get them written up soon.

I'm a big fan of the Kevin. I've GM'd a few Godbound campaigns, but my guys don't like the default setting. My current Godbound plans are to start turning our current D&D PCs into semi-Godbound from levels 15-20 (they're currently level 2, so it's on the backburner) and I've blown-up the Arcem setting into the Arcem Galaxy for Stars Without Number, which is in our rotation. It doesn't feel nearly as grimdark on the galactic scale.

I received a copy of Godbound for Christmas and really enjoy what I've read.  I'm gearing up for a campaign that'll start later this spring.  I'll probably kit-bash my own world together for it.  It does look like an excellent set of rules for playing Exalted written by someone who knows how to right coherent game rules! :)

I've also played a pretty lengthy Stars without Number campaign and found it to be an excellent game as well.  I've never been a bit one to follow game writers, but I definitely have seen that Kevin has an excellent track record so far.

I got review copies of several of Crawford's books, but never this one.

What I like most about Godbound is using it to wean folks off Exalted. I'm 3/3 on that.

I backed it and I've read bits. It's good stuff and I'm excited to use it whole or snag bits. AKA, what I do with SWN.

As I've needed something even lighter, I've been using Kevin's Exemplars & Eidolons
http://www.rpgnow.com/product/144651/Exemplars--Eidolons
Its a free download and it uses the proto-Godbound system.

As for SWN, I've run it and I'm a happy camper.
For me, it does not replace Classic Traveller, but SWN is a treasure trove of materials easily ported to CT.
On its own, SWN does a good job - the prominence of psionics is a fun difference.

Thanks for posting those.  I have it, and plan to put it in a different system.  I will probably never run it as is, but those help me to make that conversion.
