What RPGs are you/do you want to play these days?

Bull · Post by **Bull** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 2:50 pm

Just an informal poll here. See what everyone's been up to.

Me, I'm playing a very wonked out D&D 3.5 game. The wonk is fun, the D&D, not so much. Had an SR4 game going for a bit, but the GM took it in some wierd directions that didn't suit my character, and a couple other players had been badgering him to resurrect the D&D game for a while, so we swapped out.

I'd like to play... Hrmm. No clue. I have a couple home brew game ideas I'd like to run, but time and motivation are an issue. Other than that, I can;t really think of anything that's lept out at me in a while and screamed "Play me!"

D&D, Shadowrun, In Nomine, Call of Cthulhu and I can't wait for the Warhammer 40,000 RPG.

Right now we have an Iron Kingdoms game going, a semi-regular Star Wars game, and we spent two weeks coming up with our own world based on the D&D system to play around with. I have a Druid Ninja.

We play a D&D 3.5e game these days. I'm SR'ed out, and haven't had the slightest desire to even look at my SR4 book.

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay!
Playing some SR4 tonight (first time in a while). A little D&D and Savage Worlds on occasion.
Was playing some Warhammer 40k. Flames of War is a common game.
Going to be playing some 10mm ACW minis stuff in Chicago soon.
Maybe a once a month-thing.

Nothing at the moment, though in theory there's a couple of games I could be in but going through one of my phases of "eh, everyone else is better off without me in them".

No one games here. To busy being homosexuals or pious or something like that.

I just play WoW.

TLM · Post by **TLM** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 11:22 pm

Exalted. It's the greatest game I've never played. I have pretty much every single 1st Ed. book, and I always end up GMing for some reason.

Jestyr · Post by **Jestyr** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 12:49 am

Just finished up a campaign of Exalted-in-SR, currently playing D&D3.5E.

And WoW, of course.

TLM · Post by **TLM** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 12:55 am

Exalted-in-SR!? :tard

H-how the hell do you even begin to jusify that?

Jestyr · Post by **Jestyr** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 1:28 am

The Unconquered Sun took a really long time to start sending Solars back.

Turns out that hiding from Heaven is a lot harder in the Information Age...

... Sun-aspected Shamans/Phys-ads! *facedesks* So obvious!

Cash · Post by **Cash** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 1:34 am

D&D (3.5 Forgotten Realms) and Babylon 5: A Call to Arms. I'm in Paul's boat...a little SR'ed out for a while. I'll have to check back in when the current SR craziness dies down.

Naw. Seriously, the relative power level of Exalts is just off the charts in SR terms. What you were before Exaltation is pretty irrelevant.

Wow...no kidding. Exalts are pretty damn badass. I was amazed at the things my Dragonblooded could do...and they're kinda wussy in comparison to the other exalted.

Reika · Post by **Reika** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 9:24 am

Exalted-in-SR....ow.

I'll amend my previous post, got out of my funk so I'm back into a CBT game. Don't remember the last time I played SR regularly since they all seem to fold after a session or 2.

I'm playing D&D with Paul, and that's been fun, although certainly not because of anything having to do with D&D itself. Of the games I'm not playing, there are only two I'd like to be: Earthdawn and Shadowrun. We've got two great ED campaigns currently on pause, and I never get tired of Shadowrun, although I stop following the metaplot just before RA:S, and will certainly never embrace SR4, which is a large wet pool of dog shit.

Eliahad · Post by **Eliahad** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 7:19 pm

I want to play at all. If I'm picky, I want to play the game I've been working on for the last couple of years that's based more or less off LeGuinn's Earthsea cycle. But that's just me.

BESM3e, it's actually a workable system. I'm currently using it to run a forum game (over on Something Awful, which is where I emigrated last year when I needed a forums fix) based on the cartoon MEGAS XLR.

I'm also in an on-again off-again Iron Heroes game with a Norse theme, and a handful of GURPS stuff.

I'm planning on running a face-to-face Mutants and Masterminds (2nd ed) game at my local FLGS, but so far I haven't been able to get players. I also have another project based on the Zone of the Enders universe, and some guys are trying to get me to start a Weapons of the Gods game.

In addition, I have been buying D&D 3.5 books for a few months now, and I might do something with them, I'm not sure yet.

Paul · Post by **Paul** » Tue Aug 14, 2007 3:05 pm

Still doing some D&D, add in some Shadowrun, and now some Star Wars!

Cash · Post by **Cash** » Tue Aug 14, 2007 8:57 pm

Still doing D&D, Babylon 5: A Call to Arms (ok, technically not RPG), and I want to play Star Wars.

Kai · Post by **Kai** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 5:08 pm

CoH, Shadowrun on here. I keep thinking something over IRC and realize that I have no desire for anything that requires convoluted plots and all. I'm always up for Ar'hea of course

paladin2019 · Post by **paladin2019** » Wed Aug 29, 2007 5:20 pm

Wish I could play right now.

Mostly I'm stuck with NWN, now online or P&P available.

I think I'd like a nice relaxing game of SR. Just not the travesty I've heard the online, Microsquish version is.

Lord Death Hand · Post by **Lord Death Hand** » Sat Jun 13, 2009 7:46 pm

Was playing Star Wars and Dark Heresy, now playing a D&D 3.5 game in the Under Mountain campaign and a home brew 3.5 game and running a Dark Heresy campaign. Can't wait for Rogue Trader to come out. Also want to try Exalted and Iron Kingdoms.

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Sat Jun 13, 2009 11:43 pm

D&D 3.5e, Shadowrun 3e, sometimes 4e-but rarely as we hate what they did to the game; SWSE and D20 Modern.

DV8 · Post by **DV8** » Tue Jun 16, 2009 8:25 am

I just finished part one of my new Shadowrun campaign which we started about a year and a half ago after a hiatus of a few years, during which we played D&D. Shadowrun is still my favourite with CoC as a close runner up. Looking back at what I posted in this thread before, I never did get to run In Nomine the way I wanted to, and I am a little underwhelmed at Dark Heresy.

Eva · Post by **Eva** » Wed Jun 24, 2009 7:27 pm

What worries me is that I saw your brother reading the Vampire: the Masquerade book and I'll be damned if I ever play that game again. Would sooner pick up the Buffy RPG.

AtemHutlrt · Post by **AtemHutlrt** » Thu Jun 25, 2009 5:04 am

I don't care what you're all playing, because you're not playing The Eastern Kingdoms, and therefore I hate you.

1) I find you odd. 2) I find you odd. 3) I find you odd. 4) I doubt anyone's really interested in anything beyond SR and CoC.

I think I'm going to use GenCon this year to figure out if I really miss gaming or not.

Cash · Post by **Cash** » Thu Jun 25, 2009 1:48 pm

My schedule at work and I don't get to play anymore except for special occasions (when our friend from Sacramento visits). D&D 4.0 can jump in a pit of fire for all I care, but I do miss playing SR.

That's what you said last year, too. Or rather, you had already reached a conclusion last year. What changed? Was it the fact that you came so close to being part of our gaming group?

Big Jim · Post by **Big Jim** » Thu Jun 25, 2009 3:25 pm

Rub it in, jerk.

I suppose I'm going to give it another chance, like any failed relationship. I have so many good memories of SR, I want it to work.

3278 · Post by **3278** » Fri Jun 26, 2009 6:53 pm

Most recently, we've been playing nothing but D&D, but for once I'm not flipping out about not getting to play Shadowrun, because I'm enjoying the D&D so much. We play SR as a filler when we've finished whatever Paul had planned for D&D, and that seems to sate me.

We're currently running two simultaneous campaigns in Paul's setting, the Middle Kingdoms. In one, we're all playing completely, unabashedly evil characters; our first - I almost typed "run" - our first adventure was the extermination of a border town being occupied by dwarven forces. We killed everyone, something like 400 people, all told. In the other campaign, we're playing utterly - okay, mostly - good characters; my character is something like a 65-year old Jesus Christ in a Kung Fu movie. It's gone well.

Online, there's been little to no gaming, because neither Paul nor myself have been spending a lot of time indoors on computers, but I anticipate picking up Eastern Kingdoms again soon.

Just want something!

Jeff Hauze · Post by **Jeff Hauze** » Sun Aug 16, 2009 4:03 pm

I like the SR4 system, but it really is making it difficult when I'm also running Cthulutech online. First off, Ctech is cinematic, and easy, and damn fun. So doing the work my usual SR campaigns require...it just feels like a lot of fucking work for the offline game. I really don't know if I can GM in person anymore. I feel totally rusty and like I'm delivering half-warm crap to the players.

Kai · Post by **Kai** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 5:58 pm

the work my usual SR campaigns require

You realize some novelists don't have that much material set aside for whole books, right? ;7

Jeff Hauze · Post by **Jeff Hauze** » Tue Aug 18, 2009 4:32 am

Doesn't change the fact that's what I require of myself when using a new setting like Tampa. This whole being involved and caring about my job, while also actually having something resembling a semi-active social life...well it means I actually don't have like 10 hours a day to work on gaming. Through in my usual time spent smoking and writing, plus actually slowly starting to take better care of myself, I'm left feeling all adult and like I actually have to cut back on gaming work. In the end, it likely means that Tampa will be abandoned soon, and I'll turn back to Seattle before long. I just honestly don't have the time anymore to do Tampa the justice I think it deserves (along with the other projects I've committed to) and I can't let it go half done. Seattle is largely already done in the broad strokes, and I can just fill in the small details.

Ampere · Post by **Ampere** » Tue Aug 18, 2009 1:55 pm

I just wrapped a WFRP campaign I was running and a Dark Heresy game I was in. Picked up a Vampire: Requiem game. I think a D&D 3.5 game is replacing the Dark Heresy: kind of a Dragonriders of Pern deal. Should be interesting.

paladin2019 · Post by **paladin2019** » Wed Aug 19, 2009 2:51 am

I just want to play. AD&D, Cyberpunk, Warhammer, whatever.

Reika · Post by **Reika** » Tue Sep 08, 2009 5:40 am

Currently playing Ctech, which is awesome. Slowly changing my mind about Eclipse Phase (the more I read, the more interesting it looks) and still addicted to WoW.

Don't miss D&D at all. But would love to play something like Exalted again.

Heavy_D · Post by **Heavy_D** » Mon Feb 15, 2010 5:41 pm

Shadowrun, what else!

Deev has a nice adventure going...I'm sure we'll all be heading down the wrong path soon. And yet I enjoy going there...the man has some mad GM skillz

paladin2019 · Post by **paladin2019** » Wed Feb 17, 2010 2:41 am

Got done with a weekend of gaming at Genghis Con (cons being my only outlet these days). Lots of pulp games and some Cthulhu thrown in.

What RPGs are you/do you want to play these days?
