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.

What actual play gaming do you have planned for 2022?

The Spaniard

I will be continuing my C&C Greyhawk campaign with my son until he heads back to college in a few weeks.  We'll pick it back up again during the summer.

Starglyte

I really want to run Blade Runner RPG when it comes out, but my group often does not have time to get together. Well will see.

Eirikrautha

Continuing my hybrid game (half the players are live, half are remote) that we've been playing for almost 38 years now (usually 4+ hours, once a week).  Finished up two SW games (group consensus was that SW wasn't for us), and we've now switched over to 4e (most of the people in the group have never played it and want to try it.  Not my favorite edition, by far, but I'll roll with it for the group's sake).  Will run a homebrew that builds off of 5e at some point this year (more wargamey and tactics-based, rather than build-based)...

Ghostmaker

Running my 5E campaign, in person, with actual people around a table (it grew out of a one shot to test 5E a year or so ago and then, well...)

Also playing in Savage Worlds Rifts, in person, with actual people around a table.

I've dropped doing remote gaming last year, my whole crew plays face-to-face.

2022 Plans

Continue my modified Savage Pathfinder fueled Forgotten Realms Greybox campaign. It's been been chugging along for for a good clip, and still going. I'm introducing my Dwarven Forge stuff to the game, and I got back into painting minis, so I'm having a ball.

When it winds down my goals are -

Savage Rifts - Highly probable.
Savage Star Wars or FFG Star Wars. Right now our Savage Star Wars idea is running pretty hot.
Cyberpunk 2020 - with modifications from CPRed.
I'd like to PLAY - If I'm lucky I'll get one of our players to GM. What that might be? Who the fuck knows. With my luck it'll be 5e. But fuck it, i'll play the shit out of it.

Murphy78

Playing:
Dune 2d20

Maybe
Forbidden Lands
Cyberpunk Red

Mastering:
Feng Shui 1e (with bits from 2e)
OSE

maybe...
Over The Edge 2e
Lex Arcana 2e

I'd read a thread where you go into what you're keeping from 2020 and what you're nabbing from CPRed and why.

Wrath of God

Running:

Chris-Many-Numbers' "Ruins & Realms" Playtest.

Playing:

Rogue Trader campaign using d100 mechanics (although in this case we're extremely loose with mechanics)
D&D 3,5/PF1e Forgotten Realms campaign
Play-by-Text Fading Suns campaign on Discord (theoretically on VPS, but as players we're not using it aside of advancing PCs).

Want to run:

Eldritch/Hyperborean Colonial Horror in XIX century India (mechanics not yet decided upon).

Stormbringer is a GREAT game (especially the 3rd edition, but 1e/2e is good solid stuff), but my only success has been at conventions where I advertise for a table of people who READ the books.

Sadly, the books will never be made into a good movie or series.

My only suggestion would be to (a) somehow get your group to read the books or comics, or (b) creating a crib sheet (1 page double sided max) that introduces all they will need for the setting to play.

The old comics from the 90s are online...and glorious

Game 1: Fantasy Westmarches. Expect it to last a few months, a friend and I are going to be DMs. Still debating on what system to use, but we're working on dungeons and the hub is a town that we have already placed adventures in.

Game 2: After that, Rifts Savage Worlds, westmarches some homebrew survival mechanics. Probably will start during the summer. We'll see how it goes, should be good, and same DM's working on that game.

I love the Westmarches concept.

Please post about how it goes for your group.

For those who haven't heard of a WEST MARCHES game, it's very interesting, very cool and worth a read:

My weekly Thursday night group has broken up after everyone moved apart over the course of the pandemic.

I've started running D&D 5E in my son's Incan-inspired fantasy setting for a monthly group of old friends. I'd like to restart a weekly game at some point, but it might not be this year. I'll also be running at the local conventions. I have a Doctor Who game for DunDraCon in February. Maybe a Star Wars game for one of the fall conventions.

Hopefully the following:

1. Continuing existing Castles & Crusades Campaign
2. Starting a White Box FMAG campaign [May just use White Box to run other OSR games; also doing a White Box PbP game]
3. Running a few MERP adventures
4. Doing the Necropolis Campaign for Swords & Wizardry with existing characters

Jaeger

I should polish off my 3yr Star Wars campaign some time before the half way point of this year - the PC's are starting to play in deep waters where resolutions will come in short order.

I then want to do a few one shots to try out different systems. The Witcher RPG is currently heading the list.

I intend to do that alternating games nights with my Honor + Intrigue mini campaign arc where all the PC are in the Cardinal's Guard trying to save France  from a foolish Queen, weak King, and an interfering Queen Mother.

Then I hope  to give my new set of OSE books a run and do a OSR "D&D" game where I'll start with the old classic Keep on the Borderlands, then develop a full campaign out from there.
