[QUOTE="innerdude, post: 8211069, member: 85870"] From 2010 to 2011, I ran Pathfinder 1e. It was actually a lot of fun, but by the time the characters reached 8th level, prepping for sessions was exhausting. From 2012 until this year, I mostly ran Savage Worlds. In that time I ran campaigns in a fantasy homebrew setting, a LotR hack, and the Weird Wars Rome setting from Pinnacle Entertainment. Two other GMs ran campaigns in Shaintar (a high-fantasy setting specifically for Savage Worlds) and War of the Dead / zombie apocalypse. *Edit -- another group member tried GM-ing a GURPS superhero campaign for maybe 4 months in 2019, loosely based in Brandon Sanderson's Reckoners universe, but we were lucky if the game rose to the level of mediocre most sessions. Having tried GURPS in 3 different settings now, I can definitively say I dislike the system immensely. We also dabbled for 4 sessions in Dungeon World in 2018, which was going . . . okay, mostly, other than it was hard shifting into the right GM mindset, and one of the players (who's no longer in the group) bounced [I]hard[/I] off the system. After 8+ years of almost exclusively playing Savage Worlds, everyone in the group was ready to branch out, including me. Last year just before Covid hit I started an Edge of the Empire campaign that played just 2 sessions, but was going well. I was actually pretty disappointed we didn't get to keep that one going. Last week we played our first remote session of Ironsworn (a PbtA / FitD derivative), and it went very well. The plan right now is to alternate between Ironsworn and a Tiny D6 / Tiny Frontiers (space opera) campaign being GM'd by the group member who ran the Shaintar campaign. We'll see what shakes out this year. I'm pretty sure I'm going to pick up Swords of the Serpentine at some point, and my kids looooove [I]The Dragon Prince[/I] TV series, so Tales of Xadia is probably in the mix at some point too.
