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.

Let's break this thing in.

Reefer Madness

Quote from: ColonelHardissonYeah, that was my first thought. I found an interesting one, and I'm getting a feel for it. I'm also looking into local gaming clubs and the like, but haven't found much yet.

Best case scenario is to make friends as one normally would and either find out they're gamers or make gamers out of 'em. Not that easy to do.


any universities in the area sometimes they will have gaming clubs...

No roleplaying at the moment. Trying to get a game of Heroquest/Exalted going, but lack of time and dedicated players has put it a bit on the backburner. I have a few friends that run a regular D&D game, but I'm not terribly enthusiastic about getting into that.

Quote from: HumanophileEvidently, we refugees are here to talk gaming.  So in the spirit of all those togetherness retreats, what sort of games are you up to at the moment?

To go first, I'm currently enjoying giving my GM a headache, and he's enjoying it.  We're playing some homebrew ruleset he knocked together, and I'm the token psuedo-munchkin who points out where everything's easily broken.  Still, it's an excuse to kibbitz.

So you're next.  What do you play?

Playing Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, with a 10th level party working it's way around the crater ridge mines.

About to start a second game in Spider Queen (not sure of the full and proper name for that adventure), also a 10th level party.

On hiatus are a couple of games, and probably soon-to-be-revived is my self-created d&d game based very loosely on a Harry Potter type adventuring college (mostly a string of one-off fun adventures).

Unfortunately I am not playing anything at the moment, but I am searching for the next game system to fire my imagination.

Quote from: JoeBlankdiaglo's OD&D game, although I am still not convinced it is better than 3.5, the guy is a great DM (I mean referee!)
Blasphemer!!

Cyberzombie

I'm playing in an Exalted: Sidereal game that Mad Hatter is running.

I'm technically running a Star Wars d20 game, though we are having a bitch of a time actually meeting and playing to do it.  The game has now been home brewed to use the Iron Heroes skill system, which makes it a lot more fun.  :)
 

BOZ

Quote from: Jangling JackI'm running a 3.5 version of the Against the Giants and that'll hopefully lead into the Queen of the Demonweb Pits.

i'm playing in same.  ;)  we're in Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl at the moment.  i actually started it off by running G1, but i really didn't have the time for the DM prep work, so someone else took over.
don't quote me on that.  :)

Playing a d20 homebrew using Game of Thrones combat and my own magic system, but we meet infrequently (about once a month) because it involves me driving two hours to meet the old group. Thinking about starting up a group among some friends who are open to the idea who live closer by.

I'm currently running a Feng Shui Campaign, after that we are playing low level D&D (run by Mark), after that its Legend of the Five Rings (by Graham), after that Seven Seas (by Steve), after that probably Cyberpunk using a homebrew system (by Rob), then we'll get round to Mike running Age of Worms (D&D) and final back to Jen's Iron Kingdoms game which we played just before I started running Feng Shui.

Right now my group is in the end stages of a DnD 3.5 campaign. When that wraps up we are most likely going to start a supers game, but have not settled on a system yet. My one true love is CoC but no one else in the group wants to play it right now. :(

It's kinda funny, we started the campaign like five years ago and went on a long pause. We are finally getting back to it and starting up pretty much where they left off, with a little time passing in game. Some of the players still had their original character sheets for it.

I'm hoping the fire giants can kill a couple of them.... :)
 

Chacal

I'm playing in
- a babylon 5 D20 game
- a D&D 3.5 game
- an Agone game (french RPG based on french novels by Mathieu Gaborit) The system is sometimes cumbersome, but the good ideas and the setting is worth it.
- a WFRP game
- a Vampire game

and I'm running an Arcana Evolved (well not very evolved, but still, the dragons have returned).

After two years almost without gaming that's quite a change. I'm happy with 2 games a week now. Don't despair Colonel, you'll find !

Dungeon Squad - steampunk variation
Fta! - one-shots using two  settings: Stan Nicholls' Orcs, and Black Rose (yep, Blue Rose variation!)
Manhunter - just dug this out cuz the boys are eager for some Kirn action
 -think I'll convert it to Hard][Nova 'cause the system's awful.

Mechnomancer

I just finished running a GRINDHOUSE! octaNe game and am now running an Eberron Sharn city campaign game using Fantasy HERO.
