I plan to finish running Pathfinder's Emerald Spire in oh so lovely Pathfinder.

I also plan on having enough mecha, monsters, ships, and NPCs stated up so I can run a BRP Mecha Macross campaign centered on a displaced carrier group trying to get home by the end of the year.

First, a happy new year to everyone!




I'm keeping my plans rather modest, since things have a habit of turning out differently.


I hope I get to game again with Group A: First, to finally finish my Call of Cthulhu scenario The Extraterrestrial Eater. Then, hopefully, to finally run Coyote Trail.
I am fairly certain this group would really enjoy some space opera so if all of this goes well I am thinking of running a mini-campaign or long-ish scenario of HardNova 2 for them.


With group B the idea is to run an all-female cast through a scenario from Mansions of Madness, using Call of Cthulhu 7E once I receive the books from the Kickstarter.


As usual there's plenty of other games and ideas I'd like to have a go at but nothing else is set in stone.

Look at all the 5e. Wow.

Hoping to coax my AD&D players into giving (original) Traveller a shot as I just read a couple of Bertram Chandler and E.C. Tubb novels. Failing that, maybe I can convince them to play Ninjas & Superspies in a Green Hornet and Batman setting.

Well, I've still got that 3.0 campaign cruising along, so there's that.

I'm hoping to do a couple of campaigns with the kids this year: an Edge of the Empire campaign and a D&D 5.0 campaign. I do have to acknowledge that my oldest has a game group of her own now --she's the GM-- so the time factor may not all be there.

More surprising to me is all the Hoard of the Dragon Queen/Rise of Tiamat.

Going to run my shroompunk D&D 5e game as long as I can, hopefully to a satisfactory conclusion. Going to try to obtain more 5e books as they're released.

At some point, going to run another Fight! campaign, using my Rainbow Bridge setting, with underground fighting tournaments, the occult mafia, and the really ilegal aliens. Going to purchase hard copies, so I've got something to use around the table.

Going to try to run MHR some time. About given up on my Exiles campaign, but I'd like to run a "first generation" supers game.

Maybe take a break from running if someone else in my game group wants to run something-- we usually balance between me and one other guy for DM.

im planing to run a maid rpg campaign (stripping out all the randomisation in character creation of course nothing worse then randomly generated characters)

also i plan to let somebody else take over as dm every now and again so i can level up a nice wiz20/planeshifter10/war weaver5 (of course this is unlikely to happen unless i get myself into a war or the gm is very generous with bonus xp (i imagine yom would be but he would be a poor gm when it came to the math))

We'll be returning to our Mass Effect game, and I hope to run my historical ACKS game some more.

Is it really as bad as they say?

ive never heard anybody say anything bad about it other then it being to lethal

Things I want to return to include AD&D 2E and CoC.  I want to try Numenera, Tenra Bansho Zero, Ryuutama, Traveller, Double Cross, AFMBE, Maid, Arrows of Indra, and some wargaming.

Likelihood of all that happening? Small. But worth a shot.

Plans for the next year:

• Play at least one game I have never played before
• Play with at least one person who has never played RPGs before

I love it.

My players are digging it.

Venture to Enworld and you can find thread upon thread about how it's the worst thing ever.

I posted one of the few outright positive reviews of it last year: http://mostunreadblogever.blogspot.com/2014/08/tommys-take-on-hoard-of-dragon-queen.html

Currently playing:

5e campaign, face to face, every 2-3 weeks depending on the vagaries of family/work schedules, college style (9-10 hour sessions, eat in), with players I've known for about 10 years who are mostly 3.x players.

5e campaign, roll20, weekly, (~3 hour sessions), with players I've known for about 25 years on average who are mostly 1e players.

Both of these campaigns look like they have legs and will go the distance.

Currently running:

A series of Dungeon World one-shots, which is about all the additional time investment the 4th quarter of 2014 would allow.

Hoping/Planning to run:

I'd really like to put together a Transhuman Space game, but I'm just not comfortable with GURPS. If I could transpose the setting to another system, then I would give it a go, but I just haven't been able to figure that out yet.  Maybe the extra brain-cycles now available to me in Q1 will work it out.

Failing that (which seems likely), a 2300AD game is the runner up.

Finally, I want to get my swords and sworcery on, and Atlantis will likely be the game.
