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.

Still trudging through Barrowmaze, though my players are getting close to finishing it. Last week we had a side trek to solve a growing problem of Froghoblins and their new cult.

My main game  at the moment is Rolemaster (my personal version, which is basically a houseruled RMSS). Started at level 4 in Jan or Feb last year, PCs are currently around level 10 - 12. Generally two sessions a month.

A separate Godbound campaign, which I'm running on most off weekends, has been going for about six months.

Rolemaster will be wrapping up some time in the first half of next year, at which point I will most likely be running a Traveller game based on the Mongoose Traveller first edition playtest rules.

I have been playing in a weekly AD&D1e game where we're demihumans fighting against a human (basically, Roman) invasion. I play Ash the elven fighter. I went away for a month and came back and it'd gone gonzo, with submarines and MUs on permanented Tenser discs with ballistae and a pegasus figurine and all sorts of crazy shit. I got to use the aerial combat rules for the first time in 36 years of play. Ash is famous for having drunk 6 potions in one game session, and rolling 4 times on the miscibility table with no significant ill effects.

Quote from: APN;1108297Still running my play by post game. It's survived a website/forum change, several system changes, players joining and leaving, rules lawyers and personal disasters (e.g. marriage breakup) in the almost 10 years it's been running since 15th October 2009. Down to two players now and real life has slowed the game down somewhat but its still chugging along. A superhero game, the players have fought all sorts of challenges off including godlike demons, nazis (of course), robot invasions, zombie apocalypse, normal street crime, a civil war style all heroes must be destroyed campaign and currently the Earth has been taken over in an X Com style scenario. The rest of the team are in deep space having been shrunk into a microverse, deposed an evil empire run by a former superhero turned bad and currently ride out about in a sentient moon trying to find their way back to Earth whilst being hunted by various nefarious alien factions.

Started with the Golden Heroes rules set (which was so house ruled as to be almost a new game), currently on a very house ruled DC Heroes rules set which ditches the tables and hero point mechanics and speeds things up no end. As far as play by post is concerned, the original Golden Heroes game was superb for street level and tactical type combat in a play by post format. Unfortunately when the characters were imbued with godlike power (to defeat godlike demons) the old rules tend to not scale up so well. DC Heroes hands cosmic just fine (but falls down nearer street level as everyone was almost the same, stat wise, hence the rules change).

Phew!

10 years. Where does the time go?

That is spectacular! I feel like congratulations are in order for cultivating and maintaining such a long-running successful (PbP!) game, so, congratulations!

You guys have some really awesome stuff going! I love this thread!

The Anima: Beyond Fantasy game I've been playing in for the last 3 years just wrapped up last Saturday.  We're moving on to Fragged Empire after taking a week off.

I run a Mutant Year Zero game but that's likely coming to a natural end in another handful of sessions.  

I'm also running a Conan game (Modiphius edition) which only has 1 to 2 sessions left.  One of the other guys offered to run Vampire 5th for us once we do wrap up so I'll be playing in that.

Would love to read some actual play and/or thoughts on Fragged Empire.

Congrats on such a long running campaign!
