At a table.
I'm going to be doing playtesting for my OD&D retro-whatever in Q1 and hopefully have it ready to rock on KS before 2023 since it's been in rewrite limbo for a decade.
Been thinking about running either Mork Borg or Mothership to see how they play at the table. Both have been on my radar. but haven't pulled the trigger.
So, what y'all got planned for 2020 too?

My new job has me on a rotating 12 hour work schedule, so I decided to take advantage of it. Once every two weeks, I will be publicly running :
1) These Islands Imperium and Foreven Sector Frontier using MgT 1e (2+ groups)
2) Merchant Explorers using the MgT 2e as a test drive of the Explorer's Edition (short mini-campaign)
3) d6 Star Wars when the Merchant Explorers mini-campaign ends
4) Solitaire CT
EDIT: I should note that I have already started 1) and 4)
Hyperborea, Planescape (with 2E), Primeval Thule (with Savage Worlds), Mystara (with Castles & Crusades), Fading Suns Pax Alexius, and Shadowrun (with 3E).
No plans for TTRPGs. I have regular X-Wing Miniatures and Twilight Imperium games I'm playing.
I should try to get something RPG together this year.
I am in the middle of a 5e campaign that I want to finish up. I would like to try to get my group to play an rpg of my own that I am working on set in the 17th Century. I would also like to run a Dark Albion game.
I need to play more wargames too. Battletech and Blood & Plunder are my two fave's.
Continuing to play test my own system. I'll keep my regular game going with it, with the focus mainly on streamlining. Meanwhile, I've got a few one shots planned with other groups to verify that the streamlining is making it easier to pick up for newbies.
Up until now, the testing has been somewhat artificial. It was an adventures, played straight, but we all knew the characters were going to be tweaked as we went and found flaws. Was deliberately stressing the system in ways that sometimes wasn't much fun for the players. Just now starting to test the game more in campaign-mode, the way it is designed to work.
Our in-person group hibernates during the winter months. But come spring, I hope to do the following in person gaming:
Running Old School Essentials with some house rules I created. I would love to run Stonehell or Barrowmaze, but our group only meets a few times a month, so I might choose to run a smaller published adventure instead. Not sure which though. Maybe one of the Necrotic Gnome published adventures.
I want to give The Black Hack a spin, to see how it plays. I'll run it with a short one page dungeon, not sure which though.
If VTT games don't count, I have
Faerun Adventures 5e D&D set in Damara 1360 DR. Most of the games are online but we get together monthly for an all day live session and the far travellers stay over.
Related to that but mostly different players, I'll be running two live January sessions of 5e Barrowmaze before my teaching term starts.
I bought Zombicide Chronicles at Xmas and am hoping to run it using the board game components, likely ca May.
My friend Kim will be contuing her occasional 5e homebrew Shambles game, she got a 3D printer for Xmas and is an excellent painter so looking forward to seeing the new stuff. :)
My friend Rich is looking to run some Runequest, and another friend Jelly may be running Vaesen.
Finally I'll be running some 4e D&D, Scepter Tower of Spellgard in Jan and maybe King of the Trollhaunt Warren's later if can get the players. And 5e Odyssey of the Dragonlords every fortnight.
Online, playing 4e 5e and BFRPG, running a lot of 5e (see sig) and hoping to run Achtung! Cthulu, but I may just use the setting in a Primeval Thule crossover as the Third Reich summon the Aryan Ubermensch of ancient Thule to fight WW2...
New Year's Day I'm playing in a Fate of the Norns one-off. Someone in our group got it at GenCon a couple years ago and offered to run the session to see if we like it.
My weeknight group is moving on to phase 2 of our Mutants & Masterminds game. We're moving though the comic ages with each age taking a few sessions to foil a plot. As we move forward in time the characters will gain PL and the tone of the game will change to match the age we're in.
After that finishes we're moving on to the new Twilight 2000 from Free League.
My Saturday group is going to start the Dungeon of the Mad Mage campaign once we're all back in town. We've got 1/2 the group that has never played 5E and wanted to so that's what got offered up.
Once we've had enough of that I'm going to run a Worlds Without Number game. Something a little less structured than the 5E game. My players don't really care for 100% sandbox games so I'm going to try and meet them 1/2 way on this one. I'm using The Dark Tower as inspiration so they are trying to get to place X for reason Y, but how they do that is completely up to them.
Mostly I am play testing a horror game I have been working on. I have been doing that every Friday, and occasionally on Saturdays. And play testing wuxia stuff once or twice a month depending on schedules. But I am planning on running some short session of Those Dark Places. I am also trying to talk one of my friends into running Pendragon as well. I would like to run a full Ravenloft 2E campaign if I have time too. There will be other games too I am sure but that is going to be largely dependent on what other people feel like running.
Nothing planned for TTRPGing in 2022. The past 2 years of absolute-shit-Rpging has killed off my interest/passion in running anything, or playing in the campaign I've been involved in for the past 6 months. So, I'm going to take a lengthy break and see how I feel about Rpging as 2022 progresses.
Lots planned for wargaming, and miniature painting/modeling projects in 2022, though.
Pretty much nothing.
I haven't played routinely I'm quite some time. My normal group is Wed nights. Then my schedule changed to having work meetings Wed nights with my overseas team. Then other people's schedules changed. Not much you can do when one player is a police officer and another is a train driver - both essential employees whose schedules have been brutalized due to a com o of covid sickouts and lots of unemployed people with nothing better to do but cause trouble.
At this point, i'd be happy with play by email...
I'm going to keep running my Aquelarre campaign and I'm planning to try Warlock! and Ruin Masters, both as GM. Our heavily homebrewed D&D campaign might pick up again and I'm a player in that one.
We'll be continuing our bi-weekly Keranak Kingdoms game. We're back to using Castles & Crusades after brief stints using other systems (Low Fantasy Gaming and OSE), as we found it allows the right balance of options and complexity for our group.
Finish my current SotDL campaign (tales of Demon Lord), all the way to level 10 and the (possible) end of the world.
Then maybe some 5e campaign. I like the campaigns and the books look good, although the organization is terrible, they are a big railroady, and I'm a bit tired of the system. Probably playing my minimalist version of 5e if I can manage to finish it.
One of my players is running Hyperborea 3e for me, and im working on releasing my first system so ill be playing it a bit more. Im also playing Swords and Wizardry and a Lamentations of the Flame Princess game based on political intrigue and shaping the next multiverse by manipulating symbols as the current one is ending.

Do you have any notes on this one up anywhere? I saw your initial note back when you joined the site and there was a thread talking about character generation, but that's been about it.
It has been on my radar since playing Blasphemous and I just don't see a lot of discussion about it. Which I get, since it is such a very specific setting.

I'd recommend Odyssey of the Dragonlords for an epic 5e campaign, or 5e Primeval Thule and the published Thule adventures for an episodic Conan/Kull campaign. Both are vastly better than the WoTC campaign books IME. For sandboxing I recommend Kobold Press's numerous adventure compilations, 12 Peculiar Towers I thought was especially good, but I liked them all except Prepared! Eldritch Dungeons is good for a more dark fantasy tone.
So first thing is we have an ongoing deadlands game using savage worlds we need to finish. Im also starting up a mystara campaign using becmi.
Coming up when I can squeeze them in is Conan 2d20(wife just got me this), the Witcher pen and paper and Warhammer fantasy role play. Also I'd love to try and squeeze in either worlds without number or acks, or castles and crusades. One of those may replace becmi for mystara.
I got a full docket I'm hoping I can actually get through half of these at least but I think deadlands will conclude before mid year it might be possible.
Right now I'm in a group that is about halfway through a year-long, gothic horror style 2E AD&D campaign. Definitely planning on keeping on with that, plus any other games I feel like joining if the opportunity comes up.
Already had the Rona and it wasn't much more than a cold and a few days of flu symptoms for me, so I remain unafraid of that. Don't care if anyone at the table is vaxxed or not, and frankly, we treat the topic like politics- a no-no. We just gather and enjoy the game, and we don't have any snowflakes or SJWs in the group, so it's been a LOT of fun.
When my Youtube channel hits 1000 subs, I'm going to host the Great Underground Virtual Game Con. I should break 1000 subs before the end of the year. (Here's my channel if you want to subscribe and help! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs3EPNjwUlyNokf3_IfAqfw )
I will continue my 12+ person Monday night 1e AD&D campaign.
I'll continue my 3-4 person livestreamed Tuesday night 1e AD&D game (on my Youtube channel)
I'll start my 1e Friday night Gamma World campaign livestream.
One-offs and gaming with friends here and again.
Quote from: Spinachcat on December 27, 2021, 02:54:02 AM
What actual play gaming do you have planned for 2022?
For 2022? Total Party Skills games.
My 19 year old son never played the older editions of Ad&D so we (my normal group) are going to start up an old school Ad&D 1st ed game soon. It will be lots of death er FUN!
Hoping to find time to get an on-line Lejendary Adventure campaign going.
But for sure I'll continue playing my weekly BtB 1E DM-less story sandbox campaign, which prioritizes being the most fun I've had playing RPGs in decades over trying to fit neatly into any wonky RPG theory pigeonholes.
The group is still in regular contact quite a bit with each other, but we all live in different states at this point, so online with webcam it is, with a VTT. Around 10 players.
Game 1: Fantasy Westmarches. Expect it to last a few months, a friend and I are going to be DMs. Still debating on what system to use, but we're working on dungeons and the hub is a town that we have already placed adventures in.
Game 2: After that, Rifts Savage Worlds, westmarches some homebrew survival mechanics. Probably will start during the summer. We'll see how it goes, should be good, and same DM's working on that game.

It has been on my radar since playing Blasphemous and I just don't see a lot of discussion about it. Which I get, since it is such a very specific setting.
Actually I've been running two campaigns, one online and one at my real table, with overlapping players. I don't have any notes posted anywhere. We do have a Discord though, but it's mostly for coordinating online sessions and running the video/voice during online play. There's a bit of discussion now and then, but it's a small community.
I've run most of the English language published materials that I found interesting as components of the campaigns. Now I'm "translating" Spanish stuff and adapting it to the campaigns. (I run it through Google translate and fix the weird grammar, just enough to get a sense of what the adventure is about.) The setting is so rich, I've found it takes a lot of running of published material for me to be comfortable with improvising or creating my own adventures. The learning curve is steep and I suspect that's why it's not being played as much as it could be. Perhaps they should have done a "junior" version that was heavily anglicized to get more people into it.
A lot of the published adventures (English and Spanish) are written as fairly linear stories with skill test gates along the way. I don't run them like that, and I'm not sure they are even intended to be run like that anyway. It may just be how they're presented for the GM. I adapt them to a more sandboxy/OSR style where skill tests can be bypassed or awarded bonuses/penalties depending on role play.
Happy to share anything else you'd like to know.
Likely will be continuing the 1e AD&D campaign i've been running for months now (hopefully with more players now that i've acquired the necessary chairs)
Apart from that... lessee... Will possibly get a session or two of Paranoia (1st or 2nd edition) in at some point over the year, if i can talk anyone into it i'd
gladly play some WarhammerFRP if i can talk anyone into trying it. Back in 1987 i pretty much abandoned D&D for Warhammer and other games...
Before they moved to the RED list i'd picked up many DCC products so might be able to give that a try as well (and i'll find SOME use for that Lankhmar
boxed set regardless) ...
Runequest, M.E.R.P., Call of Cthulhu, Stormbringer and Rolemaster will continue to gather dust on bookshelf #6b (sadly). Along with a vast collection of
Board Wargames from Avalon Hill, GMT, SPI and Clash of Arms that maybe i'll dust off to play solo (as always) as counter-and-hexagon wargaming is as
dead as Caesar on the Ides of March.

I'd love to do DCC Lankhmar too! I thought about a play by post game but I don't know where or if anyone even bothers with those any longer. I don't have much time to sit and run a game for four to six hours beyond my Tuesday and Friday in-person games.
Spinning up an open-table multi-DM episodic playthrough of 5e's Candlekeep Mysteries online for coworkers.
I've offered to run overflow games if we get more than six players per week, but in the unlikely case my family situation has enough slack to game two nights a week I'll be recruiting for a more continuous campaign.
I will be continuing my C&C Greyhawk campaign with my son until he heads back to college in a few weeks. We'll pick it back up again during the summer.
I really want to run Blade Runner RPG when it comes out, but my group often does not have time to get together. Well will see.
Continuing my hybrid game (half the players are live, half are remote) that we've been playing for almost 38 years now (usually 4+ hours, once a week). Finished up two SW games (group consensus was that SW wasn't for us), and we've now switched over to 4e (most of the people in the group have never played it and want to try it. Not my favorite edition, by far, but I'll roll with it for the group's sake). Will run a homebrew that builds off of 5e at some point this year (more wargamey and tactics-based, rather than build-based)...
Running my 5E campaign, in person, with actual people around a table (it grew out of a one shot to test 5E a year or so ago and then, well...)
Also playing in Savage Worlds Rifts, in person, with actual people around a table.
I've dropped doing remote gaming last year, my whole crew plays face-to-face.
2022 Plans
Continue my modified Savage Pathfinder fueled Forgotten Realms Greybox campaign. It's been been chugging along for for a good clip, and still going. I'm introducing my Dwarven Forge stuff to the game, and I got back into painting minis, so I'm having a ball.
When it winds down my goals are -
Savage Rifts - Highly probable.
Savage Star Wars or FFG Star Wars. Right now our Savage Star Wars idea is running pretty hot.
Cyberpunk 2020 - with modifications from CPRed.
I'd like to PLAY - If I'm lucky I'll get one of our players to GM. What that might be? Who the fuck knows. With my luck it'll be 5e. But fuck it, i'll play the shit out of it.
Playing:
Dune 2d20
Maybe
Forbidden Lands
Cyberpunk Red
Mastering:
Feng Shui 1e (with bits from 2e)
OSE
maybe...
Over The Edge 2e
Lex Arcana 2e

I'd read a thread where you go into what you're keeping from 2020 and what you're nabbing from CPRed and why.
Running:
Chris-Many-Numbers' "Ruins & Realms" Playtest.
Playing:
Rogue Trader campaign using d100 mechanics (although in this case we're extremely loose with mechanics)
D&D 3,5/PF1e Forgotten Realms campaign
Play-by-Text Fading Suns campaign on Discord (theoretically on VPS, but as players we're not using it aside of advancing PCs).
Want to run:
Eldritch/Hyperborean Colonial Horror in XIX century India (mechanics not yet decided upon).

Stormbringer is a GREAT game (especially the 3rd edition, but 1e/2e is good solid stuff), but my only success has been at conventions where I advertise for a table of people who READ the books.
Sadly, the books will never be made into a good movie or series.
My only suggestion would be to (a) somehow get your group to read the books or comics, or (b) creating a crib sheet (1 page double sided max) that introduces all they will need for the setting to play.
The old comics from the 90s are online...and glorious

Please post about how it goes for your group.
For those who haven't heard of a WEST MARCHES game, it's very interesting, very cool and worth a read:

My weekly Thursday night group has broken up after everyone moved apart over the course of the pandemic.
I've started running D&D 5E in my son's Incan-inspired fantasy setting for a monthly group of old friends. I'd like to restart a weekly game at some point, but it might not be this year. I'll also be running at the local conventions. I have a Doctor Who game for DunDraCon in February. Maybe a Star Wars game for one of the fall conventions.
Hopefully the following:
1. Continuing existing Castles & Crusades Campaign
2. Starting a White Box FMAG campaign [May just use White Box to run other OSR games; also doing a White Box PbP game]
3. Running a few MERP adventures
4. Doing the Necropolis Campaign for Swords & Wizardry with existing characters
I should polish off my 3yr Star Wars campaign some time before the half way point of this year - the PC's are starting to play in deep waters where resolutions will come in short order.
I then want to do a few one shots to try out different systems. The Witcher RPG is currently heading the list.
I intend to do that alternating games nights with my Honor + Intrigue mini campaign arc where all the PC are in the Cardinal's Guard trying to save France from a foolish Queen, weak King, and an interfering Queen Mother.
Then I hope to give my new set of OSE books a run and do a OSR "D&D" game where I'll start with the old classic Keep on the Borderlands, then develop a full campaign out from there.
Pendragon but with D6 Fantasy.
Starting a second table for Classic Traveller. Running my homebrew adventure called the Round Up.
Starting up an Advanced Labyrinth Lord home brew world ongoing campaign.
Wrapping my head around Worlds without Number. Hoping to get a table together for this one.
Homebrew game system made by the GM. The game is over the top science fantasy. Regular group. We resume playing first saturday of January.

I promise when I get around to doing Cyberpunk I will absolutely do this. I was very... unenthused... about CPRed after it dropped and I looked through it. Some things were good, some things were very "un-CP2020" which I actually liked.
There are some straightforward things I'd do, but I need to dig in to see what changes I'll need to consider. My general view is it's easier to pull elements of CPRed into CP2020 than the other way around.
An idea has been percolating in my mind of late that I'm just going to take 2022 off from RPGs. Not just playing them, which I have done in over a year anyway, but buying them, reading them, reading forums and Discords about them, or even thinking about them. I've come to despise what this hobby has become, and I think it would be healthier for me to just walk away from it for a year or 5.

If you're not playing/running games, it's definitely not healthy to be spending a lot of time on game forums & social media.
I've been thinking of running Dungeon Crawl Classics with my homebrew. Slowly pieced together some world notes over the past few years, inspired by Diablo lore, Dark Albion, King Arthur, The Witcher, Cthulhu Dark Ages, Castlevania, and some other sources. Just wanted to do a medieval sword & sorcery style setting, more grounded, more horror. Been trying to figure out a ruleset to run it on and just decided to go with DCC.
I need to get my Age of Ashes campaign finished before Paizo retroactively removes all the Slavers from it.
Dragon Gods of Destruction probably are not allowed now either so better get him killed off.
And Happy New Year to all of you living in the past!
5th Ed (playing and running)
Cthulhu (playing and running)
Probably some Traveller later in the year
Possibly a homebrew 40K system that I'm toying with. But that's for Summer/Autumn, not the near future.
Running: 2e in a homebrew, on the fly created world
Playing: 5e Descent into Avernus (hopefully, the libtards in the group are impossible to keep to schedules)

I got excited when I saw this - I thought "Cool! DunDraCon is going to run..."
Even before the pandemic it had been a few years since I was last at a con.
But then I checked their coof policy... Ugghhh...
A shame, I would have liked to have gone.
I'll be continuing some campaigns using my Ruins & Realms system.
I plan on putting my Vampire game I run on hiatus after the next session because I'm getting burned out on it.
In its place I'm gearing up a homebrew set in the Battletech universe (because none of the official rpg-side sets has ever managed to work) with the basic premise of the original Mechwarrior video game... the PCs are a noble household forced to flee when a hostile force takes their world and work to build up a force powerful enough to retake it (or just be Mercs as was also an option for the original DOS game).
I'm thinking a small force of 10,000 BV for the party (for those unfamiliar, BattleMechs range from 700-ish for a light Mech to as much as 3000 for an assault Mech, mid-rangd is 1500-2500); enough for a solid Mech lance plus some support units.
Quote from: Ratman_tf on December 27, 2021, 05:19:21 AM
No plans for TTRPGs. I have regular X-Wing Miniatures and Twilight Imperium games I'm playing.
I should try to get something RPG together this year.
Okay, I'm jealous. Having a regular Twilight Imperium game would be awesome. 😊
Gonna be D&D 4e for a while still barring any dramatic changes.
This year, actually do some role-playing. Leaning towards Fading Suns 4e but also considering homebrewing a fantasy ancient Egypt for a fantasy game but not sure of system (Gurps, Mythras, or possibly even an adaptation of Lion & Dragon). Other ideas include Stargate, Weird Frontiers (think Deadlands powered by DCC system), Bunkers & Badasses (The official Borderlands rpg), Swords of the Serpentine, Hyperborea 3e, Lancer, BESM 4e, and Fight! 2e (if you love fighting video games then this is your game).
Since VTT doesn't count, then I am doing nothing. I suppose that I could tell my brother, who lives 1700 miles from me, to fuck off out of my DCC campaign so that the me and the rest of my players can properly play at a real table.
In that vein, I have considered going back to playing face-to-face and using a webcam to loop my brother in. Anyone have any suggestions for webcams that would be capable of giving a clear picture of figures and terrain on the tabletop?
I will continue my Call of Cthulhu 7E campaign. The players are starting to understand how the various cases they tackled are connected by an overarching plot and very curious to go on.
It is a bit of an open World. They are based in Arkham and the last session closed with a debate about if to follow the "Dunwich lead" or the "Providence lead". I'm ready for both.
Down the line I would like to play a mashup of "Coriolis" and "Alien". Time will tell.
Starting a The Dark Eye campaign in February (as the GM), though it is still virtual given that my best players all span three different time zones, so not sure it counts. I have to admit how impressed I am at the sheer quantity of games some of y'all get in! If I did more than what I'm doing I'm pretty sure the wife would end me.

When our current Strahd campaign wraps up, I will move away playing 5e. I stopped running 5e a couple years ago, but I have had it with WotC and do not want to be affiliated with their game, even as a player.
Starting a smaller friends and family limited campaign in February, using either WH 3e or SW, to run a bastardized version of Quest for Glory 2: Trial by Fire. I had a lot of success using the original game as a chassis with WH 2e a couple years back.
I have been working on a 2d6 system of my own for a few years. I have only tested one-shots and mini-series, but I hope to start a full campaign this summer.
For extra credit this year, I would love to run a Traveller or Metamorphosis Alpha game at some point.
Last month I was able to return to my old Hyborian Age (Barbarians of Lemuria) campaign with my old players. Not seen some in half a decade. And I got some new players as well. I have been completly zoomed out from the hobby for a very long time.
I plan to run a couple more adventures and one player has been working on a sandbox D&D(becmi) campaign and I am really looking forward to it.
I have several other stuff I want to run but I am starting out slowly and sticking to stuff I know well. All in all I am just happy to play again.
