So, how many different game systems are you currently playing?

Forked from: So how many different game systems have you tried?


I'm in a couple D&D games 4e and WoW3.5. Also in a GURPS buck rogers game. And WotC RPGA D&D 4e.

Last weekend was a con which includes other GURPS and Traveller and LOTS of D&D 4e.

If I include all of last year then it expands to:
D6 fantasy
other GURPS stuff
more D&D3.5
red box basic
Savage Worlds
D&D4e
TMNT
Traveller

Sadly, I haven't been able to play anything for the past couple of years.

I'm currently running a D&D 3.0E campaign; in December I'll start a Mongoose Traveller one.

Currently 2 4e campaigns. A one-off Halloween "episode" SR4 game in a couple of weeks.

Expanding to earlier in the year, you can add a Scion, nWoD and SWSE campaign to the list.

Late December or early January, one of the 4e campaigns is going on hold for 6 months of SR4.

I'm running a game of BECMI and a game of 4e. Totally different experiences, both totally D&D.

I love it!

Currently 2:

Ars Magica, 5th edition
Changeling: the Lost

I usually only play one system at a time, barring conventions and suchlike, but this is an unusual time.

That being said, I love both of these systems for very different reasons.

Currently,

Wednesdays: Weekly game of a politics heavy Ars Magica 4e, when to many players drop out we play 3.5 DnD, fairly lighthearted hack n slash, plot lite. I'm supprised how much fun I'm having for a character with a good alignment.

Thursdays: DnD 3.5 with a distinctly stargate flavour if stargate was set in dndesque soviet russia half of the characters were Lawful Evil - willing to do any attrocity in the name of the "greater good". When the regular GM isn't around we play Con - X.

So only 3.5 and Ars (I could hardly call Con-X regular)

Because of my current game group, the only games I've gotten to play in the past 10 years are:

2Ed D&D (2 1/2 years, 2 campaigns)
RIFTS (6 months)
3Ed D&D (7 years, 2 campaigns)
3.x D&D (3 months, various campaigns)

However, they've made some noise about playing a supers RPG (again), so (again) I've suggested HERO and Mutants & Masterminds. Who knows?

My regular group rotates between Spycraft 2.0, Spirit of the Century, and D&D 3.5.

As for irregular fare, I played Hollow Earth Expedition last gameday.

Right now, I am playing in a Fourth Edition D&D game and a Fourth Edition GURPS game (modern action-horror; we fight vampires).

I intend to start running a new game sometime towards the end of the year, when a particular prospective player will have more time free, which will probably be either a Vampire: The Requiem or a Mage: The Awakening game.

Earlier this year I converted my Third Edition D&D game (using the Pathfinder Rise of the Runelords adventure path) to Fourth Edition, but that game ended when one of the players left for postgraduate study at MIT.

My regular Wednesday group is cycling between SCAP, a 3.5 adaptation to the Desert of Desolation adventures, and Mutants and Masterminds. Once I finish up with the Desert of Desolation I'm thinking about adding a True20 Kara Tur game.

My slightly less regular Sunday group is cycling between SCAP, the 4e adventures, and is about to start the Second Darkness AP (with the beta rules). That's going to be bi-weekly, so I'm floating the idea of seeing if they want to play a SAGA mini-campaign on the off-weeks.

My other irregular weekend group is cycling between a Savage Worlds super-villain campaign (Necessary Evil) and Warhammer 40k, which I'll be joining for the first time tomorrow.

Not much is going on in my little world right now

I put my 4E game on pause to run some Vampire: The Requiem
I'm playing in a 4E game thats pretty off the wall
Mutants and Masterminds has been put on hold, but we'll get back to it eventually
One of my players keeps bringing up Shadowrun but no one wants to play
