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 RPG Will You Be Playing In One Year?

As the topic says:  what RPG do you think you'll be playing a year from now?  Will it still be 3e, 4e, or OD&D?  Is there a game you'd LIKE to play a year from now?  Anything you plan to switch to?  What's your prediction on what you'll be playing in one year?

As time goes by I'm slowly drifting back to True20 for most stuff. I like 4e, and I like Savage Worlds, but True20 is really easy to tweak, and I know it really well. However, I keep telling myself I'm going to finally bite the bullet and learn M&M2e. I'll probably just use V&V again, though.

I'm hoping our B/X D&D game will still be going strong at this time next year. :)

I expect I'll have played a 4e game by that point.  I predict that will be a beer+pretzels kind of thing and won't turn into a long-term campaign.  I'd LIKE to be surprised by WotC releasing a Superhero game based on 4e - which I will also be playing. :)

That would be a surprise!

Someone on ENWorld is working on a 4e based Supers game already.  :)

I totally missed it.  Wonder how the GSL will impact that, or are they working around it?

Who knows what we'll be playing a year from now! Well, I expect I'll keep running Usagi Yojimbo, it's a game I really like. I'd like to give a chance to A Song of Ice and Fire, but I've got yet to read it thoroughly before I feel confident enough to run it. As a player, I expect we'll continue our Capitán Alatriste game (it always delivers), and from our conversations, there's a chance we might play Fading Suns and Kult, but it's not a sure thing, we'll see.

No, we won't be playing nor D&D3, nor OD&D. None of us owns D&D3, and I don't think that will change anytime soon. One of us started recently a Rules Cyclopedia game (does that count as OD&D?), but another member of our group didn't like it, so I don't think we'll play it any longer. This friend who didn't like the RC has D&D4 and he likes it, but he likes Capitán Alatriste more, so no D&D for us. Why so much talk about D&D if we don't expect to play it? Because you asked! :D

Wow good question Zack. I'm gonna say Spycraft 2.0, or Savage Worlds. That means a year from now I'll be played something else entirely and will look back think "Wow really?".

Hopefully I will still be running the Torg R&E game I am going to start, but who knows if that will still be happening in a year.  I hope it will

I've just started a Swords & Wizardry/OD&D campaign. With any luck, it will still be running next year.

I'll likely be playing several games in a year.

3.5, 4e, and Mutants and Masterminds will be in the mix.

There is also the 4e Amethyst setting coming out under the GSL that I want to take a look at.

Hopefully Little Fears: Nightmare Edition if Jason can get it all together by then.  If not I'm sure I'll be doing a fantasy game of some setting using Red Box D&D or running an all new Kult campaign.

I think if any of us remember it will be fun to go back and see what our answers were (and how accurate they turned out)!

I will be running a 17th century swashbuckling game using either Flashing Blades or Savage Worlds, and I'll be a year or two away from introducing my children to Traveller.

I will have run a Boot Hill one-shot and played in an OD&D or 1e AD&D game at a Dragonsfoot 'mini-con' as well.

That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.
On weird fantasy: "The Otus/Elmore rule: When adding something new to the campaign, try and imagine how Erol Otus would depict it. If you can, that\'s far enough...it\'s a good idea. If you can picture a Larry Elmore version...it\'s far too mundane and boring, excise immediately." - Kellri, K&K Alehouse
