Played:

• Eclipse Phase 2e (Much better than 1e, but still rather crunchy)
• Fabula Ultima
• GURPS 4e (Reality deviants in steampunk setting) + (Ice-age horror scenario).
• Homebrewed PbtA-based Wuxia-game, started as the FATE-based game Tianxia: Blood, Silk & Jade.
• Pathfinder 1e: Legacy of Fire
• Pathfinder 2e: One-shot where we tested the system. It did not go well. Should have been a TPK.
• Pathfinder 2e Revised (so far only one session. Worked much better than the other try.)
• Star Trek Adventures: Lower decks
• The Troubleshooters. Playtest of a new upcoming official adventure.

GM'ed:

• The Troubleshooters. (GM'ed a scenario at an annual convention in Gothenburg, and have started my own campaign)

New adventure? Consider my interest piqued! (Also planning on running/hoping to run TS next year, once one of my friends becomes available in May.)

The creator of the game is actually working on 2 adventures.

• The Great Champagne Gallop (the hunt for a crazy inheritance. And lots of relatives that should not inherit)
• The Ghost knight (don't know much about this though)

If I understood it correctly, the plan is a kickstarter for both at the same time. Last I heard The champagne Galop was in layout, and there were some text and a map left on the other. Some illustrations already made for both.

There are more details on Helmgast's Discord server.

This year I’ve continued to GM my weekly Savage Pathfinder city campaign. I’ve also done some WFRP4e one-shots as system and Foundry testing as prep for a campaign start next year.

And I’ve said feck it to waiting any longer for the elusive SWADE sci fi companion, and started prepping for a Travelleresqe Savage Worlds campaign. This involves lots of work from scratch in Foundry, and with zero coding skills this will take a while, but hopefully I can start it up towards the spring.

Assuming you include GMing, I certainly was involved with Pathfinder 2e and BASH Unlimited Edition; its possible I was still running Fragged Empire 1e at the start of the year, too.

13th Age (Playtest edition). They're coming out with a new edition and we're using the playtest rules. Again, we're missing a lot of game days as they're being cancelled at the last minute. I don't think we played at all in November and I only have a vague idea of what's going on. Thankfully I'm not running the game.

What'd you think of it? I've heard some pretty mixed things about the new edition playtest.

It's fine. There isn't anything that makes me go wow, but it's playable and it certainly exists.

Had you played the first edition?

Had you played the first edition?

Yeah, though it's been like five years since I've played it. I like it well enough to play it, but I was probably never going to run a game.
