D&D General How many D&D groups are you currently in?

[Flexor the Mighty!]

Promoted by another thread where most people seemed to be in about 14 different simultaneous D&D groups. How about you?

1, we run two campaigns so a DM can get a break. I'm running a Greyhawk game using OSE and playing in a 5E game. Wed night is game night. Honestly that is enough D&D for me. My other hobby time is mini painting.

I put 3, but technically four with one on hiatus.
1.) Weekly Monday Night Game.
2.) Periodic Ad hoc game.
3.) Every other week Sunday game.

There is another game underway, but it went on hiatus when the Pandemic hit, and I have not talked to anyone in it in 6 months, so....

Currently in five, but two of those meet only once per month-to-six-weeks and another one is a temporary extra thing to keep a member's teenage daughter entertained while she can't do school stuff. So actual plays per week is usually three.

1 or 3.

1 is 5e - a new online game with people I met on discord. It's still very new, not sure how this is going to last.

Why "or 3"? My other groups - which are much more stable, I've known these people for years - are laying D&D "adjacent" systems. One (which I'm running) is the GLOG, the other (I'm a player) is with Pathfinder 1e, playing the excellent Zeitgest campaign.

So I don't know how to answer your poll @Morrus

I'm a participant in 3 games at the moment. We live in the Platinum Age of gaming....unfortunately it comes with a side of plague and non-ripened Honeydew Melon.

I voted 1 for in person.
I'm running 2 PBP games and participating in 1 on GITP. All are over 4 years old.

If Pathfinder counts, I'm in 3 groups (although with some overlap of players). If Pathfinder doesn't count, I haven't been in a D&D group since 2010.

Oddly, I find that I'm joining more groups but playing less D&D.

Even the group which has traditionally been D&D-centric has started to play other things more often. (Their current game being FFG Star Wars.)

Depends on what you mean by different groups. I'm running seven different groups of characters in my D&D game, but all of them have significant player overlap- there are only four players unique to one group. I also play in two groups; even given that all of the players and the DM of one of them are players in my games, I would count that as a different group than the one I DM. So depending on how you count, either ten, or three, or something in between.

I'm going to split the difference- there are essentially, sort of, 3 groups of players in my various games, so I'll say I am in 5 groups.

Two groups/campaigns: one as DM, one as player.

Each group/campaign has multiple parties of PCs.
