Does Your Group Play Different Systems?

In the past year I've run Call of Cthulhu, Werewolf: The Apocalypse (though without werewolves), Changeling: The Dreaming, Kindred of the Ebony Kingdom (no, really), and I'm planning/writing at least three other games. I've played in a game of Mage: The Ascension, Dark Ages Vampire, and three different pick-up Pathfinder games. One of our players was threatening to run a pick-up game of D&D 5th Edition for us, but we were lucky enough to dodge that bullet. :)  

My group likes to try new things, and they've figured out that if the GM is enthusiastic about a game he wants to run, it's usually worth taking a chance on it.

"No, we\'re not the good guys. We\'re the pigs from Animal Farm."

I'm excited to see there's so much diversity in games being played.
I wonder if this poll would garner similar results on the big purple.

To quote my wife "we don't really care about the system, as long as it doesn't get in the way of role-playing".

We play my homebrew system that we've been playing/testing for year or so. We started years ago with DwD Studios Barebones Fantasy and we play tested FrontierSpace for DwD Studios. And they love rolling up characters for Classic Traveller. Nothing against other systems, but our homebrew handles the genres (fantasy and sci-fi/steampunk) fine, and was written explicitly to support the type of game they like, so we just use it.

I think posters here tend to actually play games more than the average poster on TBP. A lot of posters there are into theorycrafting more than actually rolling dice.

FATE  can do that.

Lately, we have been playing everything using Mongoose's Traveller, but it is not a conscious choice kind a thing. It just happened...

I play in two FTF groups, one very long running and one about six weeks old. The long running group plays 4 games each session of 12 weeks. Members put up game options and players vote for which one they want to play in. The next session has a game of The Sprawl a 5e game a modified version of Mutant Chronicles and a Mythras/D100 fantasy game. Current session has a Fate Dresden Files game, a Dungeon Crawl Classics game, a Cortex sci fi game and a Fate Fantasy game. So there is s decent amount of gaming variety going on. A spread of players across all ages with the majority in their 30's and 40's

The second group is just getting it's feet wet. I ran the first part of two Headed Serpent for Pulp cthulhu and played a game of Russ Morrissey's N.E.W sci fi game. Other games include a Fate one shot, Psi-run and a couple of 5e games. The plan  is to offer new games as people finish a game so there will be a constantly rotating set of games (although I can see 5e predominating). This group skews younger as it's located in a university town.

I run two games a week. I'm a player in zero. I really don't want to do much besides fill in the Greyhawk map.
Every time I think the Forgotten Realms can\'t be a dumber setting, I get proven to be an unimaginative idiot.

I recommend you do the same.

It is hilarious how often FATE is recommended on TBP but I'd say this forum's FATE is Gurps. Almost any proposed setting gets a 'use Gurps.'

TrippyHippy

Our group will basically play anything once. The long term games always seem to return to D&D, Traveller and World of Darkness of different stripes though.
I pretended that a picture of a toddler was representative of the Muslim Migrant population to Europe and then lied about a Private Message I sent to Pundit when I was admonished for it.  (Edited by Admin)

I'm part of 2 groups (with a lot of player overlap).  

One group meets monthly and we're in the middle of a years long Anima: Beyond Fantasy game and a shorter, maybe 12 sessions, D&D5E game.  Before that was a years long Pathfinder campaign and a shorter Riddle of Steel and a short Yggdrasil game.  After the D&D5E game we're going to give Iron Kingdoms a chance.

The other group meets weekly and we go for about 4-6 months before switching or starting up a 2nd game.  Currently we're playing a Mythic Pathfinder game.  Before that was The Strange which replaced a Shadows of Esteren one and before that was Conspiracy X.  We're currently looking at a few different games to be next including: The Sprawl, Godbound, Fantasy Flight Star Wars or Mutant Year Zero.

So, while not strictly a D&D group, D&D/Pathfinder, or I guess more likely fantasy games, seem to pop up every few rotations.
