#TTRPG players and GMs, what are you currently playing? What do you wish you were playing?

Currently running

- #Pathfinder 1e. Not a fan of the crunch, but it's for my wife
- Taking a short break from #MasksANewGeneration, a #PoweredByTheApocalypse #PBTA supers game but ready to dive back in to the GM seat at a moments notice
- #Trinity #Adventures game. Character creation was a headache compared to other #WOD #WorldOfDarkness games but the characters are fun
- Our #MonsterHearts2 game should be starting up again at some point

Wish I was playing
- #13thAge for the amount of say players get in world building
- #GURPS for the complete characters you get after creation, which CAN be a real chore
- #D6StarWars as it was one of the first games I played and I really like the system
- #CastlesAndCrusades #CNC for the old school style with modern sensibilities
- #VampireTheMasquerade or #VampireTheRequiem. I've got a #VTR campaign I want to run at some point, but I don't know if/when I'll get to it. A long term obsession I haven't had the chance to play in 15-20 some years at this point
- #StarTrek #LastUnicornGames. I like the way they handled life/career paths

@cynical13 playing a game of Werewolf the Apocalypse 5e

Jeff Jul 30, 2024

@ChillTheEffOut I've played a bit of Werewolf over the years, but I'm still on the fence on 5e. How is it?

Chill The Eff Out Jul 30, 2024

@cynical13 I've been enjoying it quite a bit! The dice mechanics work great with the theme of the game and there's more intrigue and ways to accomplish things than in the previous editions.

@cynical13

I love, love, LOOOOVE me some GURPS. They also turn out a lot of great source books to support the system.

The Star Wars D6 system was spun off into 3 versions: Fantasy, Adventure, and Space. I still have the PDFs.

Jeff Jul 30, 2024

@TheLastOfHisName I still have my copy of WEG's Revised Star Wars and several supplements. I also picked up one of the generic books at some point.

@cynical13

I would love to GM a GURPS campaign. Either a Space Opera style, or a homebrew fantasy setting I've had buzzing around in my head for a while.

@cynical13 Currently playing/running: Nothing 😞

Wish I was playing/running:

* V:tM
* M:tA
* Exalted
* PF2E (never tried it, kinda curious)
* Scion 2E
* Shadows of Esteren
* Cthulhu

Plus a few others I'd be interested in trying, but not necessarily "wishing" for 😅

Jeff Jul 30, 2024

@ipsi The only one I'm not familiar with is Shadows of Esteren. What's that about?

Andrew Thorburn Jul 30, 2024

@cynical13 It's a French game I kickstarted quite a while back. I haven't looked at it in a while, but basically low-magic fantasy-horror. Characters are ordinary people who may well come face-to-face with horrors beyond their ken, but unlike Cthulhu, there is a degree of hope, that the characters can be some level of heroic.

I haven't ever got the chance to play or run it, but it's something I would.

Running:
* #UVG, 74th almost-monthly session!
* Just finished a short #BreakRPG campaign
* Bunch of one-shots: #Cairn, #Swyvers, #YoonSuin, #MailOrderApocalypse…

Wish I was playing:
* Mythic Bastionland, enjoyed reading it, a nice twist on the #IntoTheOdd formula;
* My #dungeon23 (lol), sprawling under a parking;
* Non-horror space-op, I should give one of those #Cepheus variants a read, wouldn't mind some cyberpunk themes mixed in.

Jeff Jul 30, 2024

@Whidou Congratulations, you're the first person to respond where I've never heard of a single game you mentioned, but they sound interesting!

@cynical13 I'm currently running 13th Age. I'm also playing in a D&D 5e campaign that's wrapping up. We're considering the MCDM RPG (Draw Steel) after that.

Currently running

#Pathfinder1e "Curse of the Crimson Throne" remotely for my former players. Not the biggest fan of the system or Paizo's adventure construction, but the setting is fun.
#TheDarkEye 5E campaign where the PCs currently are on a mission to save a Viking princess from a curse, but get distracted constantly.
#TheDarkEye (using the #ilaris ruleset) retro campaign where we started out playing the baddies (they're just politically persecuted and misunderstood) from an ancient bad adventure and generally wreck the world by assuming every adventure the PCs aren't participating in fails for the "good guy".

Currently playing

Some Inception-like sleeper agent game. Cool story, just hope it doesn't get more railroady. GM wants a story game experience but rules-wise is a bit stuck in the 90s (homebrew WoD/Feng Shui mashup)

Wish I was playing

#GURPS in general, preferably either a Voodoo/Cabal contemporary campaign or hardcore cassette futuristic #Traveller / New Era.
A video-gamey #OSR campaign I've been dreaming of, a mixture of Might & Magic, Wizardry and Ultima Underworld.
Dreamy but "realistic" portal fantasy stealing from 80s German novels. Using #BRP / #Mythras
My own #palladiumRPG mashup: Ninjas & Superspies group is summoned into the Palladium Fantasy setting.
#Shadowrun the setting, preferable some other rules, but all with a very Wu Xia mindset.
Everquest D20 in the Forgotten Realms.

## Currently Playing

* #SwordsAndWizadry homebrew Hexcrawl campaign in the Old World of Warhammer
* #SavageHeXXen in Praag of the Old World of Warhammer with a homebrew Plot Point Campaign

## Wish I was playing/gming

* #FabulaUltima
* #Dolmenwood
* #Spire / #Heart
* #Agon
* #TrophyGold / #TrophyDark
* #LegacyLifeAmongTheRuins
* Something prewritten OSR Like GDQ campaign

Mint (she/her)Jul 31, 2024

Currently Playing:
Lancer, but very sporadically
Apocalypse Keys (about to wrap up)
Protect the Child (playtesting my FitD game about monster babysitters)

Wish I Was Playing:
Oh boy this list is technically over 200 games long, but a few games on the list are:
Mothership (what's the hype about?)
Nibiru (up next in a campaign I'm co-GMing)
Motherfuckers Stole My Baby (relevant to my interests),
Apocalypse Roadtrip (Fitd is my weakness),
...and more!

Jeff Jul 31, 2024

@mintrabbit I know what you mean about the WIWP list. I had to really pare it down.
