D&D & variants (AD&D and OSR potpurri), including Rolemaster which started as a modular D&D plug in.

Mix.
D&D, Gamma World, Star Frontiers, Aberrant, Boot Hill. TSR Marvel Superheroes, Albedo, Beyond the Supernatural, TMNT, some Torg, Tunnels & Trolls, Shadowrun and Call of Cthulhu. And dabbling in many others.

I tend to gravitate back to D&D, and Star Frontiers though as they are such solid systems when not mishandled.

Non-dnd related stuff I've GM'd/played in the last 5 years: shadowrun and star wars.

flyingmice · January 21, 2018, 05:48:12 PM

Umm, I don't do D&D or anything related to it. No knock, just not my thing. I'm sure no one is surprised, dismayed, or gives two cockroach gonads.

I play other systems. Mostly other systems, in fact. Don't get me wrong, I'm interested in trying out 5th edition DnD and I have a deep abiding look he for B/X D&D. But when it comes to running games, those aren't really what I go for. Savage Worlds has been my go to game for years, though over the last few years I've run Witch Hunter: the Invisible World and now, 7th Sea. When it comes to FRPGS, I'm far more drawn to Dangerous Journeys (Prime plus some addons from Advanced) or Lejendary Adventure. By comparison, O/Ad&D feels too constrictive while 3-3.5/PF focuses on all the wrong things.

Let's see. Most of the FFG 40k lines, Pathfinder, D&D 5E, DCC, LotFP, Godbound, Monsterhearts, Blades in the Dark, Force and Destiny, Edge of the Empire, Mutant Year Zero, Deadlands Reloaded (current), and I know there are more. A lot were short campaigns due to people not necessarily settling in to the pitch. A few one shots here and there when someone had life interfere.

Our group plays everything, and D&D is just one of many games we play. Lately we have been hitting an OSR groove but we are open for whatever sounds good.

Bren · January 21, 2018, 08:56:10 PM

Other systems.

danskmacabre · January 21, 2018, 09:07:45 PM

In the last 5 years, mostly DnD 5e and OSR derivatives.

I have also played from time to time Call of Cthulhu 7th edition and I tried Savage worlds (Rifts), although I didn't like Savage worlds much.
This year I'll mostly be running DnD 5e (although scaling back on DnD 5e) and various Sine Nomine RPGs (such as SWN revised, Godbound, Silent legions).

I hope to continue playing in the CoC 7th ed campaign this year.

I want to try other RPGs as well to run and play if I can get a chance to.

CanBeOnlyOne · January 21, 2018, 09:36:54 PM

We haven't played any form of D&D in 8 years. We play lots of BRP, Magic World, and CoC. Also Scion and Buffy. Soon to play Part Time Gods.

Quote from: RPGPundit;1020879As the question says, I want to get an idea of the composition of the group. Never mind how many games you may actually own. In the present time (say, the last 5 years) how many of you have only played/run D&D/D20/OSR games? And how many have played/run games other than those?

In the last 5 years, I've played and run only OSR variants (and a single game of 5e), and even all of those, combined, were less than 5% of my total gaming time:).
Had you asked for the 5 years before that, the answer would have been "no D&D, nor derived games"

Spinachcat · January 21, 2018, 09:42:17 PM

My usual moshpit of different games, genres and systems.

Xavier Onassiss · January 21, 2018, 10:07:49 PM

In the last five years? D&D 5E, Savage Worlds, Hero System, Ars Magica, 7th Sea, Legend of the Five Rings, Torg, Pathfinder, Shadowrun QAGS, and some homebrewed RPGs.

Not necessarily in that order.

Larsdangly · January 21, 2018, 10:13:15 PM

I play The Fantasy Trip more than any other game (maybe more than all others put together during some stretches...), and then 1E AD+D or a similar variant as the second most played. There were periods when my answer would have been original Runequest, or spread evenly across a half dozen systems. But I don't have the time to keep up with more than a couple of campaigns these days.
