My "group" is like Anemone's -- it's more a bunch of people who game together and form groups as needed, most of those for one-shots or short campaigns.

It's a mix, but there's a definite lean towards "cutting edge."  I've gotten to playtest some things before they were available to the public, which is very cool, and people are usually up for trying new games (the more mainstream ones too, not just "indie").

I'm the only one of my group crawling the boards. My roomate does occasionally. But not much. The group as a whole will pretty much play anything. I'm the most up to date of what new and all that. With the other GM in the group comeing in second. Its just happens I am running an old game at the moment. (Star Frontiers) If it were to end today. I would probably start an Aces & Eights game.

Bit of a mix -- from my group, Premier actually posted on these boards (and also on Dragonsfoot and the K&K Alehouse), a few others post on RPG.HU, the Hungarian RPG site, and some are just around to game. The thing is, they are all people, myself included, who have a pretty good idea of what they like, so even if we know of the available choices, we are comfortable playing some version of traditional D&D, with random ability scores and all.

Granted, if someone offered to run a Stormbringer game (less chaos stuff and more trippy dimension-hopping), that would be nice... or, if persuaded, I might consider running or playing in WFRP 1st edition. But I don't really need all those great new games that are coming out. I'm sure they are good, maybe even some Forge ones, but really? That's for other people.

Insulated.

I'm the only one who reads RPG boards. If it wasn't for me, half the guys in my group would never have even heard of D&D 3.0. Nobody except me ever suggests we try new games.

We do a little of both. From the new end we play Shadowrun 4th, D&D 3.5 (and eventually D&D 4), Exalted 2nd, and Scion. From the old end we play Earthdawn and Rolemaster 2nd. We also play SilCore, but I'm not sure where it falls in the spectrum. Likewise with Hackmaster.

My group is up-to-date more than cutting edge.

We use the latest edition of the games we run, including L5R third edition, Shadowrun 4th edition, and Savage Worlds explorer's edition. All of the current campaigns were started after the most recent editions had come out. We didn't switch versions mid-campaign.

If a new version of L5R came out while we were playing a campaign, we'd probably look at it and give it consideration, but would most likely finish the campaign with the edition we'd been playing.

I can't think of a game that we played using a prior edition. We've run out of print games (like Adventure!), but not prior editions.

I'm usually the most up-to-date about recent releases, and upcoming editions, but the others aren't far behind.

It's not that the new editions are necessarily better (sometimes they are) but generally it's easier for everyone to get copies of the rulebooks for the in-print, latest additions.

Our mandate is to try out a number of different games and return to the ones we like. We don't limit what games - or types of games - we play, so it runs the gammut from D&D to For Faerie, Queen and Country to Mountain Witch.
