If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

We've finally moved back to in person as people are less afraid of the Coof now that they have their safety blanket jabs.

Our group has 5 game masters, with 3 who run more often than others.  We play weekly but only face to face.
In the last year I have run Dungeon Crawl Classics, The Fantasy Trip, and Savage Worlds Agents of Oblivion.  The former two using pre-written modules, the latter a X-Files style campaign.
One GM runs a sandbox fantasy D&D 3.5 campaign.
Another ran a D&D 5e campaign, and has just started running Stars Without Number.
The other guys have run Savage Worlds The Last Parsec in the past and will be running the new Deadlands release soon.

This August it's already a year since I started running a campaign in the world of Mystara and was lucky enough to maintain weekly sessions (and sometimes more) throughout the whole year (Roll 20 + Discord). Here's a brief overview of the first year of adventuring and the results achieved by the players in the lands of the Known World.

I am currently running a couple of 5e campaigns.  I also run Call of Cthulhu one-shots periodically when my schedule allows it.  I have an Alien rpg scenario planned but it seems to be cursed.  Five people signed up initially but only one of them showed up.  I booted them and wound up with four people.  The first session was a one-shot to learn the system.  Two of the four left in the middle of the session.  This week, I couldn't run it because the internet was down the whole afternoon being upgraded.  It's kind of killing my enthusiasm for running this game.

My DC Heroes game set in fictional Capitol City has been going every other week for three and a half years now. Has had a rotating cast of characters with each having their own impact on the campaign setting. This is the Mayfair game and MEGS is a solid system for supers.

My other gaming endeavors have been charging for running a game on Start-playing dot com. I charge forty dollars per player for two hours, max participants are 3, minimum of 1. Right now, my customer is a solo player running through adventures in the world of Xoth. Utilizing Chaosium's Elric! for the game rules. Obviously, I am not doing this for the money, but I am doing it to have my own experience with the pay-to-play model and how a pay dynamic effects my gaming approach.

Both of these endeavors are conducted online.

Right now I am playing in two 5E campaigns. In October one of the DMs will be taking a break from running for a bit giving me an an opportunity to run a playtest of Tales of Argosa.
Quote from: JonWakeGamers, as a whole, are much like primitive cavemen when confronted with a new game. Rather than \'oh, neat, what\'s this do?\', the reaction is to decide if it\'s a sex hole, then hit it with a rock.

Quote from: Old Geezer;724252At some point it seems like D&D is going to disappear up its own ass.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;766997In the randomness of the dice lies the seed for the great oak of creativity and fun. The great virtue of the dice is that they come without boxed text.

Currently running SR6 and wanting to go back to 3rd or 4th depending on what the group likes better. Just too fiddly with Edge being a meta game currency.

Want to run Mothership, despite its pronoun bullshit.

Also very keen on Shadow of the Demon Lord (which I have run numerous times) as a complete replacement for D&D.

Shadow of the Weird Wizard and Talislanta Epic Edition look decent as well, although I have received no books for either just yet, and would prefer run with books for players and PDFs for GM over just with PDFs.

Only thing I am really worried about with Talislanta is if Epic haven't gotten their editing done more professionally before sending the books to print. Having been on the proofing group for it, I caught several things and when the PDFs were "finalized" and sent out through DTRPG, those things were still there...

My Current Games:

Monday Nights (weekly) Online- D&D 5e game (Professional DMing and getting paid for it)

Every Other Wednesday-  Old School Essentials (Love the system and can't run or play it enough)

Every other Friday-  My Friday Night D&D 5e game- About to restart it since all of my original players have left.  Have players and decided to restart and run a module.

Saturdays once a month-  I play in an OSE game (run by a player in my game)

So all together I game about 9 times a month.  Not bad I guesds

I'm on month 14 of running a Embers of the Imperium (Twilight Imperium space opera setting using Gensys rules) game. We try to play twice per month, but we've only been able to play 23 sessions due to real life events and we lost a player (still have 3 plus myself as GM). Still having lots of engagement and fun though.

I've been running Fabula Ultima as a solo replay (like a movie script with table talk) for about a year now.
You can find my solo Tarot based rules for Amber on my home page.

Awesome stuff folks. I'm prepping a Chronicles Of Darkness 2e Hunter game, and should be joining a biweekly game soon where we are trying Fallout 2d20, Warhammer 40k, and a play test of my friends new gm-less story game.
