  • Are There Any TTRPG Gamers Here?

    From The Wizard@VERT/WTOWER to All on Sunday, March 03, 2024 10:47:50
    I was wondering if there are any TTRPG gamers.....

    I usually play Old School Essentials and Basic Fantasy RPG. I have played MERPs/Rolemaster, Twighlight 2000, Price of Freedom, Star Frontiers, Boothill, and a few more.

    I have recently been playing Mark Hunts Tall Tales B/X and Gangbusters B/X as well....

    My group used to be heavy on Warhammer Fantasy RPG (1st and 2nd editions).

    I line DnD B/X and clones, and I have a nice collection of material, but my group only wants those in small doses.

    I played some MERP with some hacked Rolemaster on top with another group. It was nice but it only works if your group is focused and dedicated. If your group is one of those in which the GM has to pull the chart with no much help, Rolemaster will flop.

    Don't play as much as I'd like, but I'm currently running a Spirit of 77 campaign every other Thursday for my high school group and my oldest
    son...

    Ran an FFG Star Wars for a few years. First one was TSR's Top Secret
    back in the day.

    Man, I miss Star Frontiers. I still play, but mostly oddball rpgs, and just joined a PbP game of AD&D1e.
    Star Frontiers was one of my favorite settings. Right up there with Paranoia, which is just an incredible game entirely.

    I don't do mailruns that often, so I don't know if I responded to the
    OP or not - I am, though not as much as I'd like. And I rarely get
    to play 'in person.'

    I do meet up via Google with my three high school buddies for a
    session infrequently - just because we can't all get clear
    schedules... I ran an FFG Star Wars game for years that way - currently
    we are playing Spirit of 77...

    Not as much as I used to, mainly because the shine has come off of D&D 5/e for me recently. The mechanics just feel... Bleh. :(

    I've also previously played D&D 3.5/e (for which I
    homebrewed the main species of my soft sf/science fantasy worldbuilding project) and a little bit of BESM over forum (because the fanbase of a webcomic I read was really into it).

    I'm also interested in L5R, Classic Traveller (after I found a starter set at a local rummage sale), Coyote & Crow, and I had just remembered others, but now I forgot them. :(

    TBH, most of my tabletop gaming energy of late has gone into BattleTech. Love my plastic toy robots. :P

    Classic Traveller is no longer a favorite of mine, but I have fond
    memories of it. Thankfully you can get pretty much all of it
    digital nowadays...

    Before Covid, X-Wing was my primary game! Started getting into
    Gaslands too, then after Covid no more X-Wing - now it's not
    being developed...

    And Gaslands - I run games using Photoshop on Slack, but nothing
    in person. Only in person gaming is board games on a rare
    occasion...
