"D+D - Other", both as player and DM.

Good old Victoria Rules (modified 1e) just keeps chugging along...

*Head to desk* *Sighs* I really need to pay closer attention to the surveys. I first put just core 4e, now I noticed I put World of Warcraft, when I meant World of Darkness. I just read World of... and assumed the rest *sighs and shakes head*

I have a few games of Sixgun or Boothill planned (not sure which I'll end up going with), at least one game of Dread this summer if I can get folks together for it. Who knows, I might even head to GenCon this year if things fall in the right slots for me, which opens up at least one unknown to me game as I always play a game I am not familiar with when I go.

Right now, I'm running one 4e D&D II game every week, and playing in two more.

Also running a Savage Worlds- Deadlands game every other weekend.

Playing in Spycraft 1.0, AD&D 2e, and WHFRP2 on periodic basis.

My workload isn't very heavy either- just teaching Vertebrate Physiology and Neurobiology, and doing some research in my lab, so I'll have a lot of free time.

This is going to be an AWESOME summer!!!

DM'ing a 4E Core+ with a very eager group, DM'ing a protracted but entertaining Dragonlance 3.5E campaign to its finale (and subsequently deciding whether to cobble together a 4E conversion of the setting), playing some MERP and Cthulhu one-shots no doubt. Also trying to bribe someone to DM 4E so I can actually play a PC for once!

All-in-all my table-top gaming is looking very healthy right now.

D&D 3.5 (playing and DMing)
D&D 3.0 (planning to DM again soon, wish I could find a group to play it with instead)
Pathfinder Beta (playing in a PbP, might DM some PF soon)
Mutants & Masterminds 2E (playing in a PbP, might DM a game soon)
Shadowrun 3rd Edition (GMing, wishing I could find a group to play it with instead or as well)

Would like to play this summer, but have no serious hopes or expectations of being able to: AD&D 2nd Edition, Star Wars Saga Edition, Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed/Evolved, EverQuest d20, d20 Modern/Future, Chronicles of Ramlar, Eldritch Roleplaying System. Probably won't have enough time for any of these other games, though; my gaming free-time is pretty well occupied with my current games and my work on upcoming 3.x D&D and M&M 2e campaigns.

Happily 3.5-ing it, as a player and maybe a brief DMing gig in there somewhere.

Seems like I'm going to be playing the following:
  • Friday Nights (alternate weeks): d20 BESM (Player)
  • Saturday Nights: Cyberpunk, switching to D&D 3.5 somewhere from probably mid-June to late July (Player, switch to DM at switch)
  • Sunday Afternoon/Evenings: Star Wars d20, switching to D&D 3.5 come August (Player, switch to DM at switch)
  • Monday Evenings: D&D 3.5 (DM)
  • Tuesday Evenings (monthly): Playtest game for homebrew system (GM)
And it sounds like I'm going to be running another game on random nights when the players have off work, most definitely using D&D 3.5.

Wulf Ratbane Bugbear Strangler (Lvl 6)
Red Hand of Doom (3.5) with Trailblazer.

We started last week.

(I'm playing Wulf Ratbane again, and working it into a combination Story Hour/Trailblazer preview.)
__________________
Trailblazer is now available. Questions? Try HERE. What folks are saying:
Spoiler:
  • I am profoundly impressed. The mathematical analyses were very enlightening, and the revisions based on those analyses were right on the money.
  • This is the best $4.95 I have ever spent on a gaming product.
  • This is exactly what a 3.75 ruleset should look like. If you really want to stick with a 3.5-based system, I think Trailblazer is the way to go.
  • Some of the changes are bold to say the least, and I don't agree with everything, but I really like the analytic approach.
  • The solution to multiclassed spellcasters is so elegant and effective that it should probably be adopted by all d20 games.
  • Really suffers in comparison to Pathfinder. Black and white with little to no art vs. full-color, loaded with art.

For certain, I will be playing D&D 3.5 and Mutants and Masterminds. However, I am hoping to play some Savage Worlds and Castles and Crusades as well this summer.
