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'm the GM for my group, in no particular order, here are the top 10 games we actually play and I've ran more than once..

1.) Savage Worlds: A lot of this, it's a great go to system. In particular Deadlands is a fave Savage Setting, and right now I'm basically running "Stars without Number" but using Savage Worlds as the system.

2.) Dungeons and Dragons 5th: It's awesome, and replaced Savage Worlds and Pathfinder for me when it comes to running Fantasy Games. I have a homebrew world of course, Pathfinder's Golarion and I ran out of the Abyss. Ravenloft is my favorite setting so I'm excited as hell it's coming back.

3.) Mage the Ascension: One of my groups all time favorite go to..We've also done Sorcerer's crusade as a variant, along with Wild West as a Variant (Seriously watch Hell on Wheels, it's a mage campaign in the West).

4.) Vampire the Masquerade: We always come back to it, 20th anniversary edition..With some forays into Dark Ages now and then too (Using old Dark Ages, not the 20th anniversary version that has a host of problems).

5.) Mutants and Masterminds: We love us some superhero action, lots of great campaigns with this. I've ran everything from Marvel, to DC, to home brew worlds, to Savage World's Necessary Evil with it. I also kludged together a Star Wars system that worked great from it too.

6.) Silent Legions: Replaced CoC for my group. Really, everything Kevin Crawford does is awesome, I'm going to be running a game of "Godbound" soon.

7.) 7th Sea/Honor & Intrigue: Probably a rival for my group's favorite game between Mage, This, and Deadlands: Hell on Earth. We replaced the aging 7th Sea system with Honor&Intrigue and it was generally awesome. That being said, with a new edition of 7th sea on the Horizon, we might go back.

8.) Shadowrun 5th edition: 4th turned us off, 5th brought us back. It's the most complicated system I'm willing to run these days, and it's all because I love Shadowrun, my group has been playing the same PC's since 2nd edition...It's been one helluva story as they've aged up and gone through most of the significant adventures.

Those are games I've actually run in the last few years. Savage Worlds, Mutants and Masterminds, along with D&D 5th are kinda multiple games in a sense they have so many different settings and rules variants.

I use to run a crapton of Exalted back in 1st edition days, but 2nd edition killed our interest while 3rd set fire to the corpse and scattered it's ashes...Godbound on the other hand has that old magic..and I can't wait to run it.
1)Don't let anyone's political agenda interfere with your enjoyment of games, regardless of their 'side'.

2) Don't forget to talk about things you enjoy. Don't get mired in constant negativity.

I tend to run a campaign for one to two years, then run something completely different (both system and setting-wise).

At the moment, I'm actually running two concurrent campaigns, for the first time ever:

  • Pendragon (the GPC, just about to reach Anarchy next session).
  • Hackmaster (current edition)
Previous substantial campaigns that I look back on fondly or would run again if there was nothing new attracting my attention, but which I'm unlikely to actually return to:

  • GURPS (X-Com)
  • 1E AD&D (Megadungeon exploration)
  • Mongoose Conan
  • Mongoose Lone Wolf
Honourable Mentions:

  • WEG Star Wars (very occasionally pull this out for a one-shot)
  • Heavy Gear and Silhouette (Traveller hack for the latter), has also been used for the odd one-shot or short campaign on a couple of occasions.
Most Played Game Overall:
  • MERP, RM2 and RMSS -- pretty much the only thing I ran for my first 15 years of gaming. One day, I may end up taking up RM2 with RMSS classes and spell lists and a few other tweaks, and run it again. Haven't touched it in a long time, however
Next Game to Join the List
  • RQ6 -- At some point in the distant future, most likely after my Hackmaster game wraps up, I will almost certainly end up running The Game Formerly Known as RQ6 using the Thennla setting. Not actually a game I'm playing or have played, but I am starting to tinker with a bit of campaign prep that is likely to actually see use at the table at some point.

I alternate playing OD&D, 1E and AS&SH, so they're my top three and only three. Under the right circumstances, like having more time and a quality, experienced referee, I'd try some other stuff. I'm not fundamentally opposed to other games or anything.

Warthur

In no particular order, these are the games I've been enjoying in recent times:

- Pendragon
- Call of Cthulhu
- Star Wars D6
- D&D 5E
- Vampire: the Requiem 2E
- Ars Magica
- Clockwork & Chivalry
- Deathwatch
- Mongoose Traveller
- SLA Industries
I am no longer posting here or reading this forum because Pundit has regularly claimed credit for keeping this community active. I am sick of his bullshit for reasons I explain here and I don\'t want to contribute to anything he considers to be a personal success on his part.

I recommend The RPG Pub as a friendly place where RPGs can be discussed and where the guiding principles of moderation are "be kind to each other" and "no politics". It\'s pretty chill so far.

Ten is too much. The games I've been consistently playing in the last couple or so years are..

1. Shadowrun 5e
2. PbtA games

We oscilate between the two depending on our moods. When we need some crunch we go for SR, when we need something faster we go for PbtA.

How do you manage to keep all these games on the go? I'm currently struggling to get ONE damn campaign started!

I like almost anything so long as I have the chance to play it with friendly people. So I'll list what I've been playing lately:

Rogue Trader (This game will include a detour into Deathwatch as we switch to the Imperial troops we just transported to a space hulk)

D&D (Mostly been playing 5E here lately, but there was a recent home-brew Pathfinder game)

Earthdawn (Only got to play one session, but the old mechanics were fun in their own way)

Fate (some really liked it, others just treated Fate points like bennies in Savage Worlds)

Savage Worlds (did a short Fallout game that was fun, but the rules just sorta felt meh)

Call of Cthulhu (I like the rules, but the older CoC adventures weren't for my group)

WoD (used the basic rules to play mortals in a 1700s era game with magic)

Microscope (every time I play it, someone new at the table uses it to kick off their next home-brew game within the month)

FFG Star Wars Edge of the Empire (one player LOVED the dice, another HATED them)

Shadowrun 5E (ran the new beginner box and then did a one-off to demonstrate the system for other players. There wasn't enough interest to justify buying the new rules)

I've got Shadow of the Demon Lord, Silent Legions, Traveller, Atomic Highway, Chill third edition, Urban Shadows and Monster of the Week waiting for their turn in the rotation.

And a shoutout to GURPS third edition, which is where I started in tabletop RPGs. I haven't played it in years, but I still have my books for reference and talk about it with friends.

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

In no particular order:

_The Laundry (I run two parallel campaigns, one of them taking place during WW2 the other one in the game's default setting). I use a house-ruled version of Openquest.
_Fantasy Age : I use it to run Warhammer 3rd edition adventures. Perfect for my "rules-challenged" players.
_Lamentations of the Flame Princess, ran a homebrewed year-long campaign as well that my players liked a lot. We all want to play it again.
_Ghostbusters 1st edition : because it is a marvelous game, I'm hacking it to make an Aliens version. Great for one-shots.
_Waste World : still the best "2000 AD Comics RPG" for me.

and of course my own games and the ones I translated (Barbarians of Lemuria, S&W White Box)

What I may add to the list next year : Shadow of the Demon Lord, Warriors of the Red Planet.
