Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aldarc" data-source="post: 8305271" data-attributes="member: 5142">I realized that I didn't really answer what I play now. The short answer is "quite a bit," but I also enjoy playing different sorts of games. With my gaming group in California, I didn't have a chance to run 4e because the person I would likely be co-sharing GMing responsibilities with was pretty dead set against it despite a large number of misconceptions he had about it. So we instead played Pathfinder 1 for several years. 5e D&D was released around the time our PF1 game was wrapping up. But the GM, that other fellow, basically burned out as a result of "world-building sickness" before we barely got into play. So I used the opportunity to run a number of one-shots of Numenera. When I moved to Austria, my first group (i.e,. my flatmates and their friends) were Pathfinder 1 players, so I played a bit more of that. My next group were into 7th Sea, so I played a bit of that. I also played with them a several year-long campaign of D&D 5e and several one-two shots. This group was far more receptive to other games. During this time, I ran several campaigns and one-shots for Numenera/Cypher, No Thank You Evil, Fantasy AGE (Titansgrave, Blue Rose), Fate Core/Accelerated & Jadepunk, Black Hack, and Index Card RPG. I also played a bit of WFRP 2e with them as well. Sadly, this gaming group ended. During the height of the pandemic, I ran my partner (who has never played TTRPGs) through a game of D&D 5e. They found it a bit overwhelming, and they didn't like it too much. We switched their character over to a hack of Dungeon World (i.e., Homebrew World), and they liked that much better. I also played a bit of Titansgrave with them as part of an upcoming revised Fantasy AGE core rulebook, and they liked that as well, especially the stunt point mechanic. They have asked if I would run them through games of Numenera and Blue Rose as well. I still have an enormous back catalog of games that I want to play (e.g., Cortex Prime, Worlds Without Number, Blades in the Dark, Stonetop, Paleomythic, Tales of the Weird Wizard,* etc.), but I will likely need to find a new gaming group here, preferably one that games primarily in English. * Upcoming game from Rob Schwalb, which is basically a Gygaxian fantasy conversion of his Shadow of the Demon Lord game.</blockquote>
