This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). 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.

I have several times and blogged about it.

D?

I am running a regular campaign set in the Majestic Wilderlands. Probably will come up with a supplement if Wizard ever has a 3rd party license.

I have to say it is my main system due to how my schedule plays out.  I still work on my Swords & Wizardry/Majestic Wilderlands. Right now it is 75% 5e / 25% S&W, if I could work things out it would be 50/50.

I am playing in a bi-weekly campaign right now. It's not our main game, as we're playing the Force and Destiny beta.

I've been getting a 5e campaign going in fits and spurts. Tried to learn the system (with lots and lots of the "gritty" DMG options) after years away from the table and bite off a huge wilderness sandbox to boot, and kept running into ridiculous TPKs. We're now scaling back to fewer optional rules (pretty much back to baseline healing, but no HPs on long rest and healer's kit dependency still in effect) and with the tighter focus of the dungeon environment we're starting to really hit a stride.

I think I might run the next session pure theater of the mind, the players are a little too into hex-counting on combat turns and waiting three minutes just to make your next death save is causing a lot of drift-off. Hell I think combats could be over in the time it takes me to sketch the terrain on the battlemat, which seems like a poor return on investment- especially when the combat is just three ghouls surprising the party from the rear.

Liking the system so far but then last night was the first session where anyone made it back to town with XP, so we're still getting our sea-legs for sure.

Artifacts of Amber

Main weekly game I play in.

Have three sessions end of the month I am writing for a local Convention so will be GMing for first time then.

Before that played two separate short term campaigns, Lost Mines just  to see how it played and then Another Gm ran a short campaign but burned out like he often does.

Callous

Have played. Am playing weekly game now. Currently exclusively playing 5e.
Enjoying it. Next campaign will not be 5e but not because of any disatisfaction with 5e.
 

Tahmoh

Run a couple of games using the basic rules and monster manual before xmas, currently prepping a full campaign that should begin in a couple of weeks all being well(waiting for a couple of folks to settle into their new home first before we begin).

At the moment it's my go too system for fantasy gaming.

I've played 5E.

Playing it regularly. Playing once per week and also GM'ing once per week.
Quote from: RPGPundit;834472How many of you are mainly playing it (that is, it is what you are most often playing now)?
It's what I play most at the moment, but mostly because it's what the game store is sponsoring. I love to play other RPGs, but if I want to play at the store it has to be 5E.

Yes, played it. Playing it regularly, and mainly playing it right now. In fact outside of plans to run other games hypothetically down the road 5E is all I am playing. Run roughly 77 sessions averaging 4-6 hours so far since June of last year.

Played/playing it currently.

Playing it weekly.

Quote from: RPGPundit;834472How many of you are mainly playing it (that is, it is what you are most often playing now)?

I only play one RPG at a time. So right now, 5e is it.

Edit: Strike that. Afternoon discussion with several group-members have called for us to shift the game to Fantasy Craft. 5e is officially shelved for now.

I'm an Encounters/Adventure's DM, which means I run it every Wednesday for a couple of hours, with a full crew.

But my main game is currently a Mutants and Masterminds 3e game I run every Sunday.

Yes, I GMed Hoard of the Dragon Queen (but changed 90% of the campaign though), I'd like to run Rise of Tiamat but...

Quote from: RPGPundit;834472How many of you are regularly playing it?
... we played once a week for six months but one of my players is dumb as a sack of rock when it comes to rules and even D&D5 is too much to handle for her. The other players are too lazy to read even the basic rules so...

Quote from: RPGPundit;834472How many of you are mainly playing it (that is, it is what you are most often playing now)?
I'm not running it anymore 'cause I have better things to do than holding the hands of my retarded players. It's a shame because I really like this edition and I never was a big D&D fan (I started with The Dark Eye then moved on to Runequest/Stormbringer/Cthulhu) and the next campaign looks awesome.

But the game really makes me want to find another group to run it again.

I have played it.

I am playing it every two weeks and running it every two weeks.

It is my most frequent game ran/played currently.  I am playing in a once monthly Rolemaster Beta.

I'm running a regular online 5e game since I think March, we've played 29 sessions. Also playing a semi-regular but less than monthly 5e game, ca 5-6 sessions.

I'm GMing 4 campaigns currently, the 5e one I think is the most frequent, but the others are all tabletop - weekly Mentzer Classic D&D, fortnightly 4e D&D, fortnightly Pathfinder. Add those 3 together and they're more frequent than the 5e game, but my current thinking is that I won't run Pathfinder again after current campaign ends, and I doubt I'd run 4e for a long time either, so both those groups are likely to go 5e eventually. Alternative would be to run more Classic, I'm really liking it, if anything a bit better than 5e for traditional fantasy.

Greg Benage

Playing weekly. I only have time for one game or I'd probably play more. It's D&D and it's good.

Matt

No interest in yet another rewrite of D&D. Count me out.

Funny how many folks swore off Wizards of the Coast only to go right back to the hand that beats them. Stockholm syndrome?
