Since going on line, keeping a full table is child's place. In 2024 I gamed every week but one. I don't play D&D. I have ample time for all my hobbies, and my post-retirement career as an author. These are the best of times.

I'm retired, my group ranges across 30 years in age. Its never really come up, but I think we are evenly split between skilled trades and college degrees.

Not to mention the degree of infrastructure. The South's rail system was haphazard and insufficient, geared primarily for the movement of ag goods.. Winfield Scott anticipated the route to victory; it was his original plan, which he put in motion in 1861, that broke the CSA: naval blockade...

I run low-power games. I have no interest in watching problem-solving by way of Talent X, or spell Y.

CP 2020 was an interest of my, but I never got a group to try it. I always felt that game art gave SR a great deal of its attraction.

To each his own. To me, jamming cyberpunk and D&D together is silly & unnecessary.

True. Also, I disliked the 'kitchen sink' approach. Cyberpunk plus magic plus fantasy creatures plus alt history never jelled for me.

Forget the political correctness, fix the rules first.

A bit. But big corps have been around since the Roman era, and there's few examples of them contributing to a downfall. Far more examples of them keeping a nation going. But my point was that you need an external event. Governments fall with some regularity, but nations prevail. The Black Death...

The Twilight 2000 4e/Road to Armageddon games are built around a slide into WW3 and the aftermath, giving the GM the option of gaming at the days just before the war, the war, or the aftermath. Incredible detailed support. Although you've confused the role of the government with the role of the...

Currently, Zweihander, Aces&Eights, and Hackmaster 5e (which has nothing to do D&D 5e).

I play F76 literally every day, on my PS5. I cant see a tabletop comparing to that experience. Unless they come out with a really good system.

My group missed one session in 2024. Individual players missed the occasional session, but the game played on. I've been gaming since 1979, and my current group, currently about 4.5 years together, is the best I've ever had. Moving purely on-line is a major factor. Drawing on a national pool...

For me, I have always been looking for systems that rewarded player input more than modifiers, and which duplicate real-world results. And which play smoothly. I've found a few, enough to keep me in the hobby.

I am very open, if the system brings something to the table besides yet another minor variant to existing systems, or simply strips down the rules and calls itself 'rules-light'. But sadly, innovation is thin on the ground. It feels (to me) like the last twenty years have seen more emphasis...

Me, too. I prefer older gamers, because their lives have stabilized. Definitely no college students, because every semester there's a schedule crisis.

I provide all game materials, so price is not a factor. So far, the majority of my group plays whatever I provide. I have lost a player or two because they did not care for the settings I choose, but not enough to impede the progress of our weekly game, and the online replacement depot plugs...

Ive only gotten a couple one-shots. It is such an awesome concept and setting, but you need the right group to make it work.

Kenzer's Hackmaster 5e. A d100 system that is a refined version of their Aces & Eights Old West RPG, HM5 is low-magic, combat-intense, and skill-based. Kenzer still limps along, but it doesn't get the love it deserves. Foryunately, it gets solid support from Roll20.
