What are you actually playing?

Probably not the type of game you are thinking of, but in the Gauntlet community, Jason Cordova ran DCO using Trophy Gold (all the videos with The Profundal Zone). I didn’t play it, so I cannot say how they meshed, but I’ve enjoyed playing other sessions of Gold with him.

It’s been a while since I answered, so I want to give my update on what I’m playing.

I’m in a sporadic “weekly” Shadowdark game. Unfortunately, scheduling seems to be emerging as the BBEG of this campaign. I like it fine, but I’m feeling a little cautious going forward. The GM’s tastes are a bit different than my own (he really likes Pathfinder, wants to play Lancer, etc. whereas I love Brindlewood Bay or Pasion de las Pasiones). Neither is better than the other, but it does mean that he’s been slowly adding rules to our game. Nothing outrageous, it’s just writing down the rulings mostly. But my crunch-o-meter goes off a little. :joy:

Some dear dear friends are moving close again, and we’ll be able to game in person again! We’ve been on a bit of a break from our chill D&D 5e game for a while now. Yes it might seem hypocritical that I run some 5e but am balking at playing in a Shadowdark game that’s getting some more rules added. I wonder why that is… Anyway, I am so super excited to be able to play with them! I’m thinking of picking up that new Dragon book Wizards of the Coast put out. It’s like the first one I’ve ever really wanted to get.

I have a play-by-post game of Broken Tales that I am running. It’s one of my favorite games, and I write a scenario for it that I’m pretty excited about. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

So not much gaming lately as my Shadowdark game has been almost two months without a session. My toddler starts preschool in the fall, so maybe I’ll be able to schedule some short sessions and mini-campaigns in the future!

I am currently coming to the end of my groups long running Curse of Strahd campaign.

I just finished running Escape from Innsmouth, converted to Delta Green.

I have a fortnightly Masks of Nyalethotep campaign on going, but in a summer break

I have a fortnightly The Enemy Within campaign for WFRP 4e

I have a fortnightly one shot session, where I run games other than 5e DnD for players who’s predominant experience of RPGs is 5e. Tonight, for that, I am Stygian Library running Electric Bastionland.

Which frankly is all a little to much, and I am hoping that one of the players in my curse of strahd game will step up and run something! Frankly ANYTHING, so I get to play for a little while!

I am currently running a Shadowdark the gloaming campaign that has outgrown the initial setting after 36 sessions and has now become a greyhawk political struggle where they try to maintain their realm under threat from Iuz.

Other than that i have been running a little bit of Daggerheart to find out if it might be for me, and so far I like what I see but still have a few worries regarding slog.

When I have extra time (which isn’t that often unfortunately) I play a bit of solo S&W which I greatly enjoy.

At the moment I’m running a weekly game of Mörk Borg which I’m really enjoying, but I think I need to stop pulling my punches and really lean into the lethality of the game to really get the most out of it.

I’m currently playing:

  • D&D 5e (fortnightly)
  • Star Wars: Edge of the Empire (fortnightly)
    I’m enjoying both for the friends I’m playing with more than the systems.

I’ve just finished playing:

  • Warhammer 40k: Wrath & Glory at my FLGS to try it out with a friend.
    • I was woefully out of my depth when it came to the lore. I probably won’t play it again.
  • The Witch is Dead by Grant Howitt
    • One of the players from my Mörk Borg game GMed for the first time! It was probably the best session I’ve ever played.

I have a backlog of games I want to run (or play if I find a local game), the current top 3 are:

  • Into the Odd
  • Troika!
  • Cy_borg

I’ve also toyed with the idea of starting up a Cairn PbP to fit in even more gaming to my weeks. I blame Yochai for making it sound like such great fun
