Quote from: trechriron on August 29, 2024, 01:38:01 PMAwesome 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.

Which version of Warhammer 40k roleplaying are you going to be using?

I don't even remember the last time I played. Games nowadays... they all suck ass. Every interesting IP has died off, everything still around is a zombie franchise where groups just masturbate decades old lore, and nobody wants to make new things anymore. I'm absolutely sick of it.

Wednesday: Battletech
Thursday: Exalted 3e
Alternate Fridays: D&D 5e
Monthly Saturdays: Ruins & Realms
Also Monthly Saturdays: Palladium Fantasy

I'm playing 5E on Roll20.
Mostly human fighters, but one elf fighter and a human cleric.
The game is a bit fiddly but we are mostly content.

I currently have only one ongoing campaign, which is a weird cyberpunk game set in a version of Norse myth. I'm about to start a second short campaign in the fall that's light-hearted D&Dish using a homebrew system.

I also have six local-ish game conventions that I go to, though, so I get a bunch of play in that way. There I've been running mostly Savage Worlds.

I'm not sure. I'll report back once we play it.

Have you checked out the new Storypath Ultra book? Seems like a solid d10 pool system AND it's generic...

I'm familiar and I'm not touching it with a ten foot pole.

Still doing the solo gamer thing (and loving it), and I'm starting up Ruthless Heavens, Boundless Fate.

Currently DMing and playtesting some of my own stuff in the background, other than that, Basic Fantasy.

I am solo playing a samurai fantasy game called Kogarashi.

Kogarashi easy to play, is not an OSR, and includes several features I like.  Hit points don't get crazy.  Armor is a savings throw that reduces damage received instead of increasing your skill to avoid being hit.  Magic does not use involuntary memory loss as its limiting aspect, but rather is a skill check with limited uses per day.

With others, mainly my grade school age son, we play Tiny-D6 Supers.  It's a very easy game for kids.  Also, there are plenty of genres that Tiny-D6 covers, and that means my son doesn't have to learn a new game rules set every time we switch to a new setting.  We're probably going to play Tiny-D6 Frontiers next.  He wants to play space pirates.

What is your favorite genre?  Maybe we, or even just me might know a game you could like. 

I wrote a long ranty thing, but ultimately...

I think I may have "outgrown" TTRPGs.  Or maybe they "outgrew" me.  I still love reading the books I have, dreaming up characters and worlds, but I think I'm tired of trying to find a stable and reliable group, play for a year or two, never get to know any of the people outside of gaming, and then the group dissolves and I have to find another one.  "If everyone you meet is the problem, maybe it's not them" rules probably apply, but damn if I know what I'm doing wrong.  Haven't played since Covid Lockdown, but also haven't tried to find a group either.

I've played a lot of Ben Robbins this year (Microscope, In This World, Kingdom, Union).
I've run a campaign (12 sessions, more or less) of Coriolis - The Third Horizon.

Currently, starting a campaign of Augusta Universalis. I'm so in love with this setting.

I also have a 4hr long Thursday night game with 3 players, one of whom Skypes in. I tried to run Lex Arcana but it failed catastrophically. Three sessions in and nearly no one was having fun due to a combo of the rules as well as the setting description not matching the setting reality. So we've moved on to Shiver Gothic and we're having a blast with it.

Could you expand about what you didn't like in Lex Arcana? I'm a sucker for that game, since its first edition in the '90, so I'm curious why it didn't work for your table (not evangelising here, just curious).
