First Post
I was just wondering how many campaigns most people juggle at one time. This includes games you are PCs in and games you DM, in person games as well as PbP and Online. Are they mainly of the same genre or do you skip around?

To answer my own question, I am currently in 4 games.

2 in person D&D games as PCs (Druid and Fighter)
1 PbP DM
1 PbP epic level game as PC (Ranger cohort)

I'm playing three games right now.

1. Wednesday nights, D&D. We're playing normal gamers from our reality who were killed by the plot of an Aztec god, and ended up in the Aztec underworld. We have to fight our way through to get back to our normal selves. We hope to figure out how to stop the Aztec god by the time we get back there. So far, we have a vaccine for the engineered disease he killed us all with. It's interesting. My character is a rather screwed up guy, one of the burned-out people you see hanging around cons in a fatigues jacket who always looks hung over or stoned. He was a drug dealer in the normal world, and is now a scout who's working toward becoming a werejaguar cultist of the god of darkness.

2. Sunday afternoon, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I'm playing the group's Watcher, a former Green Knight (a British eco-terrorist group). He joined the Watchers when a chaos demon used his terrorist cell to kill a whole bunch of people. The game's plot apparently centers around some kind of apocalypse, or at least so far it does. It's Buffy, after all.

3. Sunday evenings, d20. This is a historical horror/fantasy game, set in 1760s Boston. The rules are based on d20, with a new set of base classes and some other rules specific to the setting. Think Call of Cthulhu and Dark Matter. The PCs are agents of a British organization devoted to protecting people from the supernatural. I usually run it, though other group members do occasionally run an adventure. When that happens, I play a Catholic demon-hunting paladin.
 

I'm DMing two and about to begin playing in a game this weekend... but hope to revert to DM of that game as well. I actually HATE playing and haven't played for about 17 years so this shall be interesting.
 


DMing my homebrew and playing in Living Greyhawk. At one point last year, I was DMing 2 campaigns in my homebrew, playing LG and DMing a old-school hack'n'slash in GH. That was a bit much.
 

Tuesday nights - Around 12th level FR campaign that's just finishing up with the Banewarrens. I have it on good authority that If Thoughts Could Kill is our next target.

Every Other Saturday - 14th level FR, just starting, being run through Demon God's Fane.

Our DM likes Monte Cook, can you tell? :D
 


One. Currently only my Sunday night game*, although there was a point in my life during the late 1980's where I was in four different weekly games, plus Conventions.

*(Note: Although it is one game, we do have three different campaign settings (one on a Boot Hill world) although we play the "Silver Moon Adventurers" team for about 75% of the games)
