Modest update. I just kicked off a new dungeon crawl campaign using Fantasy Craft in Goodman Games' old DCC 51 Castle Whiterock, originally published for D&D 3.5.

I'm also trying to stitch together a new Blade Runner/Ophan Black-like setting for RPG to yet be determined. It might even turn into my own homebrew RPG, as well as planning phase 2 of my Night's Black Agents game and Leagues of Adventures game.

-Playing RQ6 online via G+. Very nice it is too.
-Running Nothing.
-Reading Not all that much.
-Planning nWoD (as a player), Traveller 5 (as a GM and mainly because I hate myself), other stuff always in the pipeline but never finished.
I play these games to be entertained... I don't want to see games about rape, sodomy and drug addiction... I can get all that at home.

markfitz

Playing: 3.5 ed D&D, but we're losing a player and can't find a replacement. Looks like that campaign will fizzle. Also occasional one-shots, most recently Trail of Cthulhu.

Running: nothing but I'm itching to. Got a PhD to finish and a kid on the way however...

Reading: Changeling : the Lost Rites of Spring. I like to read some nWoD for ideas. Not really interested in the rules.

Planning: I really want to run some RQ6 Monster Island Swords & Sorcery one-shots to see if I can get any local gamers into the system. Ideally I'd then run a home-brew/Book of Quests mash-up. I think this can be a superb campaign. But... Baby+PhD. Gah!

Writing: still working on a few fiction projects, though I've had little time for them recently, including one fantasy one (see SIG). For reasons above....

LordVreeg

Playing: Nada

Running: 2 live and one online game in my GuildSchool Skill based system.

 Miston Game-oldest group, plays only once every 6 weeks.  
 Igbar Game-about 12 years now of that group, every 3 weeks.  Very, very political.
 Online Collegium Arcana game- my experimental game about first year students in the largest and old school of magic in the setting.  16 full sessions and some 22 Intermezzo (one on one) sessions in.

Reading: Atkinson's Liberation Trilogy.

Planning: just keeping ahead of all the plots in the three games.  Working on the minutia of the Northtag plains for Igbar and 3 different explorations for Collegium.
Currently running 1 live groups and two online group in my 30+ year old campaign setting.
