What Games are You In?

[Keeper of Secrets]

Its been awhile since I have seen one of these at any of the boards but what RPGs are people in?

Currently I am running Mutants & Masterminds on Friday nights and I am in a group that plays something every other Sunday. Currently we are doing a D&D Iron Kingdoms campaign but will be switching over to X-Crawl in a few weeks. Our Sunday game is sort of mini campaigns for a few months and then we try something new.

just d&d at the moment, one savage tide adventure path on thursday, and an alternating games on mondays, one week eberron, one week running through ravenloft...

all in all one of them is probably going to disappear when school starts up again, and sadly it looks like it's going to be eberron(which is a beer and pretzels game I really don't care that much about, most of the characters were designed to make the gm's life hell) and ravenloft, which I feel shitty about ditching since I fought to keep that game alive for so long, but it's turned into a fucking xman game instead of a serious game exploring the normal gm's world and defining his cosmology

:(

I recently picked up Expedition to Ravenloft and like it. I was thinking of running it soon. Is that what you're doing or something else?

[azrael]

yeah, we're running through it

love the module, hate the revamped group of characters that we're playing it with...

it fit nicely into the campaign that my normal gm was running, so he ran with it, and it was alot of fun.

then we ran into scheduling issues with players, and scrapped that group of players, fell back on the other group of players that we play with, and changed the night...

and now the feel of the game is gone...

I loved my paladin exploring death too:(

however, back on topic, they did a really really nice job with expedition, although te opening sequence is BRUTAL

[Brynja]

I am running a Scion game twice a month for some friends here.

[Varaj]

LoadRunner!

[strawberry]

My husband is running a Supers game for which I believe he's using the Godlike rules. We asked to play through our origins, so some parts of our character sheets and all of the rules regarding powers are secret at the moment. It's set in the 70s and we're having a blast. :)

how is that game? I keep hearing mixed reviews of it, and since I refuse to run anything mroe than a one shot, and I can't find someone to run something other than d&d, it's not quite worth it for me to pick up without either going through it myself, or hearing more positive peer reviews than negative

How long do you think it would take to go through the whole thing? Say 5 hour sessions?

That does sound like fun. The supers game I am running I spent the first four sessions doing flashbacks for stuff that would be important later. They seemed to enjoy that.

[Ancalagon]

I've started running a Star Wars Saga game every Tuesday, had 3 sessions so far.

[Janos]

Two weekly D&D Games at the moment. One is my longtime group just finishing the Gates of Slaughtergarde, and the other a total homebrew that just started up.

[Keeper of Secrets]

What is Slaughtergarde? :confused:

[Janos]

What is Slaughtergarde? :confused:

A D&D module for low levels dealing with three parts/chapters of a once larger dungeon with a tie-in to the Abyss.

[Keeper of Secrets]

I don't know why but one of my life long dreams would be to play in a game with Janos.

[Cyragnome]

Currently gameless...life events have overtaken game events at the moment...but sometime in the next six months I intend to start putting feelers out again.

[TiQuinn]

The GM for the Hero game that I was in up and moved to St. Louis.

What a cockmunch! :p

I like it but most WW stuff can be a bit over the top.

I havent found anything broken yet- I will keep you posted.

[Xavier Lang]

I'm in a once a week Changeling game. Its about half just hanging out and about half actual game. Its a lot of fun.
I am curious to check out the new Changeling game being put out by White Wolf. We are using a completely revamped rules/magic set for our current game because the standard changeling is so bad.

[azrael]

I"m trying to remember, but it does span something like 4 or five levels, assuming you're leveling during the run of the module...

we generally figure about a month a level, give or take, but generally have an issue with getting sidetracked...

soooooooo
depends on playstyle? realize that's not all that helpful

[Janos]

I don't know why but one of my life long dreams would be to play in a game with Janos.

Thanks! I haven't made it to GenCon in years, but I'll see what I can do. :D

[Pigs in Space]

I have a semi-regular session running through ravenloft - I think it is "Castle Ravenloft" where Strahd keeps turning up and kicking the shit out of us.

It's kind of like a hack and slash, but it's fun.

Unfortunately it gets interrupted a lot cos I keep having to travel, or going on holiday and stuff. Actually it's nice they put up with me.

Again, is this the Ravenloft setting or Expidition to Castle Ravenloft?

[Limper]

The only game that included me to my knowledge was Green Ronin's Black Company.

Arguably one could say I play a prominant role in the Testament campaign sourcebook as well.

[Harry]

After some false starts, Dragonstar and Rifts, our game is back to The Wilderlands, running Castles & Crusades. For the future, we are still considering some Sci-Fi, at this point talking about D20 Modern and Helios Rising. I'm still processing and collating information for Aces & Eights.

[Keeper of Secrets]

Thanks! I haven't made it to GenCon in years, but I'll see what I can do. :D

Janos, where do you live? How hard would it be to make it to GenCon?

[Prorpger]

To the OP...

I am running a home brew Sci Fi setting, think a mash up between Cowboy Bebop, Blade Runner and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. All of it with generally today's level of tech only on a much bigger scale. No aliens or magic/psi powers.

The system is going to be a modified Spirit of the Century to make the combat a bit more dangerous and to have the game last beyond the one night beer and pretzels one shot that SoC was made for.

[Janos]

Janos, where do you live? How hard would it be to make it to GenCon?

Southern California, so it's doable, but a trip.

[Varaj]

Starting a zombie hunter game (based on the world of Zombie Survival Guide pre World War Z) using Savage Worlds for rules.

[Keeper of Secrets]

Southern California, so it's doable, but a trip.

Wow. That WOULD be a trip. You gotta make plans to meet us at some point. There are quite a number of us in the Midwest.

[Atropine Mama]

Ohio ain't the midwest. When I have to drive 10 hours to get from Kansas City to your town, I'm outta the Midwest. :D

Are we the border-south then?

[Limper]

Are we the border-south then?


I think Indiana is the eastern most state in the 'true' midwest. Ohio is northern as well as the western most of the old east states.

Star Wars (revised core rules, not saga): A KotOR era game. (Bothan Scout / Snier)

M&M: A marvel universe game. Object Creation specialist, PL 15. front-line tactical engineering.

Currently running:
D&D / Dungeon Magazine - modified Savage tide.

Potential games:
d20 Stargate campaign, set 30 years after the end of the series.

WoD 2: a carnivale of souls type game.

[Janos]

Definately. Its been on my list of things to do for awhile, I've got a laundry list of people I owe visits to out there.

if you came to Ohio you would get to meet Bubblicious, fett, dawnstar, whiligig, enkhidu and likely Mr. Christopher would make the trip. Oh, and NGRI (not to be confused with Dr. NRG).

[Schizm]

Wow. You get to game a lot, man!

yeah - It's actually not quite as much as it looks like, since it's 1) It all happens on saturdays, and 2) we only play 2 of the above on any given Saturday.

the reason we're considering the two possibilities is our GM for star wars will be retiring (air force captain, works at kirtland) relativly soon and moving home, so we'll be short a game.

[francisca]

I run an old school 1e AD&D game. Core 3, some of the spells and some of the magic items from UA, set in Greyhawk. Right now, they are on the "Vermin Tour: CY 568", cleaning out the moathouse in T1-4.

I play in a 3.5 Dragonlance game.

Both are bi-weekly.

[Lisa Nadazdy]

I'm not in any game these days, save perhaps Final Fantasy XI.

[Space Cadet B^3]

I'm currently playing a 2nd edition AD&D game :eek: it's the only system the people I know here in town play, which bites. We're meeting every other week but will soon be going on hiatus for football season.

I also have a Star Wars d20 game people have made characters for when we have a pick up game.

[doc]

I'm not running a game and if the current BS continues with the people that I usually game with I'll find a whole new group

[Snatch]

Does Legend of Zelda on the Wii count?

[Snatch]

I'm not in any game these days, save perhaps Final Fantasy XI.

How much is the monthly fee on that one?

[Hastur T. Fannon]

Running a Feng Shui game that I've just ported to Risus because the system was irritating me. Once a month

Playing CoH/CoV. NPCing in a Resident Evil LARP this weekend

[Dacke]

I'm currently running Red Hand of Doom (D&D) with my full gaming group, and occasionally Exalted with some of the players who have less lives than the others. I'm also a player in another player's City of the Spider Queen game.

I'd say I'm about 3/4 through Red Hand of Doom (pretty much just the Battle of Brindol and the Fane left, unless the PCs decide to actually attack the Ghostlord who just showed up at the end of last session, which would shorten the campaign rather dramatically). After that, I will probably either run Expedition to Castle Ravenloft or Eyes of the Lich Queen (Eberron).

[Pigs in Space]

Again, is this the Ravenloft setting or Expidition to Castle Ravenloft?

I've got no idea man, I'm playing in it.

I think it's the former.

[Dr_Avalanche]

I'm playing a lot more board games and war games than role playing games at the moment. I'm prepping an Exalted game that has had a couple of false starts, but any week now...

[howandwhy99]

We play a 6 hour session on a Sunday every 4-5 weeks or so.

It's either OD&D 1974 Diaglo-style
or 3.5 Age of Worms campaign my-style

[Alpha Ralpha]

if you came to Ohio you would get to meet Bubblicious, fett, dawnstar, whiligig, enkhidu and likely Mr. Christopher would make the trip. Oh, and NGRI (not to be confused with Dr. NRG).

ahem!


Currently playing in a Runepunk (http://realityblurs.com/runepunk/) game every thursday at the FLGS.

[Bagpuss]

I only play on a Sunday night 7.00pm to midnight (at the latest), but we have several campaigns on the go which we alternate between to prevent DM burnout.

Currently playing - Call of Cthulhu run by Mark.
Next D&D Red Hand of Doom also run by Mark.

I'm running Savage Tide AP, they have just arrived at the Isle of Dread.

Mike is running Age of Worms AP, we have just cleared the Wispering Caern for a second time.

Steve, Mike and Rob run various games occasionally.

I intend to run Star Wars Saga at some point.
