What RPGs are you/do you want to play these days?
What RPGs are you/do you want to play these days?
Just an informal poll here. See what everyone's been up to.
Me, I'm playing a very wonked out D&D 3.5 game. The wonk is fun, the D&D, not so much. Had an SR4 game going for a bit, but the GM took it in some wierd directions that didn't suit my character, and a couple other players had been badgering him to resurrect the D&D game for a while, so we swapped out.
I'd like to play... Hrmm. No clue. I have a couple home brew game ideas I'd like to run, but time and motivation are an issue. Other than that, I can;t really think of anything that's lept out at me in a while and screamed "Play me!"

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay!
Playing some SR4 tonight (first time in a while). A little D&D and Savage Worlds on occasion.
Was playing some Warhammer 40k. Flames of War is a common game.
Going to be playing some 10mm ACW minis stuff in Chicago soon.
Maybe a once a month-thing.

Exalted. It's the greatest game I've never played. I have pretty much every single 1st Ed. book, and I always end up GMing for some reason.
Geneticists have established that all women share a common ancestor, called Eve, and that all men share a common ancestor, dubbed Adam. However, it has also been established that Adam was born 80.000 years after Eve. So, the world before him was one of heavy to industral strength lesbianism, one assumes.

Exalted-in-SR!? H-how the hell do you even begin to jusify that?

D&D (3.5 Forgotten Realms) and Babylon 5: A Call to Arms. I'm in Paul's boat...a little SR'ed out for a while. I'll have to check back in when the current SR craziness dies down.

Wow...no kidding. Exalts are pretty damn badass. I was amazed at the things my Dragonblooded could do...and they're kinda wussy in comparison to the other exalted.Jestyr wrote:Naw. Seriously, the relative power level of Exalts is just off the charts in SR terms. What you were before Exaltation is pretty irrelevant.TLM wrote:...

I'm playing D&D with Paul, and that's been fun, although certainly not because of anything having to do with D&D itself. Of the games I'm not playing, there are only two I'd like to be: Earthdawn and Shadowrun. We've got two great ED campaigns currently on pause, and I never get tired of Shadowrun, although I stop following the metaplot just before RA:S, and will certainly never embrace SR4, which is a large wet pool of dog shit.

Coming out of retirement to say...
BESM3e, it's actually a workable system. I'm currently using it to run a forum game (over on Something Awful, which is where I emigrated last year when I needed a forums fix) based on the cartoon MEGAS XLR.
I'm also in an on-again off-again Iron Heroes game with a Norse theme, and a handful of GURPS stuff.
I'm planning on running a face-to-face Mutants and Masterminds (2nd ed) game at my local FLGS, but so far I haven't been able to get players. I also have another project based on the Zone of the Enders universe, and some guys are trying to get me to start a Weapons of the Gods game.
In addition, I have been buying D&D 3.5 books for a few months now, and I might do something with them, I'm not sure yet.

Was playing Star Wars and Dark Heresy, now playing a D&D 3.5 game in the Under Mountain campaign and a home brew 3.5 game and running a Dark Heresy campaign. Can't wait for Rogue Trader to come out. Also want to try Exalted and Iron Kingdoms.

I just finished part one of my new Shadowrun campaign which we started about a year and a half ago after a hiatus of a few years, during which we played D&D. Shadowrun is still my favourite with CoC as a close runner up. Looking back at what I posted in this thread before, I never did get to run In Nomine the way I wanted to, and I am a little underwhelmed at Dark Heresy.
What worries me is that I saw your brother reading the Vampire: the Masquerade book and I'll be damned if I ever play that game again. Would sooner pick up the Buffy RPG.
One time I built a matter transporter, but things got screwed up (long story, lol) and I ended up turning into a kind of half-human, half-housefly monstrosity.

I don't care what you're all playing, because you're not playing The Eastern Kingdoms, and therefore I hate you.

1) I find you odd. 2) I find you odd. 3) I find you odd. 4) I doubt anyone's really interested in anything beyond SR and CoC.Eva wrote:What worries me is that I saw your brother reading the Vampire: the Masquerade book and I'll be damned if I ever play that game again.

My schedule at work and I don't get to play anymore except for special occasions (when our friend from Sacramento visits). D&D 4.0 can jump in a pit of fire for all I care, but I do miss playing SR.

Rub it in, jerk.
I suppose I'm going to give it another chance, like any failed relationship. I have so many good memories of SR, I want it to work.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
Most recently, we've been playing nothing but D&D, but for once I'm not flipping out about not getting to play Shadowrun, because I'm enjoying the D&D so much. We play SR as a filler when we've finished whatever Paul had planned for D&D, and that seems to sate me.
We're currently running two simultaneous campaigns in Paul's setting, the Middle Kingdoms. In one, we're all playing completely, unabashedly evil characters; our first - I almost typed "run" - our first adventure was the extermination of a border town being occupied by dwarven forces. We killed everyone, something like 400 people, all told. In the other campaign, we're playing utterly - okay, mostly - good characters; my character is something like a 65-year old Jesus Christ in a Kung Fu movie. It's gone well.
Online, there's been little to no gaming, because neither Paul nor myself have been spending a lot of time indoors on computers, but I anticipate picking up Eastern Kingdoms again soon.

I like the SR4 system, but it really is making it difficult when I'm also running Cthulutech online. First off, Ctech is cinematic, and easy, and damn fun. So doing the work my usual SR campaigns require...it just feels like a lot of fucking work for the offline game. I really don't know if I can GM in person anymore. I feel totally rusty and like I'm delivering half-warm crap to the players.
Screw liquid diamond. I want to be able to fling apartment building sized ingots of extracted metal into space.

Doesn't change the fact that's what I require of myself when using a new setting like Tampa. This whole being involved and caring about my job, while also actually having something resembling a semi-active social life...well it means I actually don't have like 10 hours a day to work on gaming. Through in my usual time spent smoking and writing, plus actually slowly starting to take better care of myself, I'm left feeling all adult and like I actually have to cut back on gaming work. In the end, it likely means that Tampa will be abandoned soon, and I'll turn back to Seattle before long. I just honestly don't have the time anymore to do Tampa the justice I think it deserves (along with the other projects I've committed to) and I can't let it go half done. Seattle is largely already done in the broad strokes, and I can just fill in the small details.

I just wrapped a WFRP campaign I was running and a Dark Heresy game I was in. Picked up a Vampire: Requiem game. I think a D&D 3.5 game is replacing the Dark Heresy: kind of a Dragonriders of Pern deal. Should be interesting.

Shadowrun, what else!
Deev has a nice adventure going...I'm sure we'll all be heading down the wrong path soon. And yet I enjoy going there...the man has some mad GM skillz

It's lonely at the top. But it's comforting to look down upon everyone at the bottom.
