How Many Groups Do You Play In?

[Olaf the Stout]

Here's how it works for me... Let's identify players by a letter. I'm A, by the way.

Most Friday afternoons DM: A, Players B, C, D, E, F, G - RPGA adventure, either Living Greyhawk, Mark of Heroes or Xen'drik Expeditions (Cabal of Shadows).
Occasional Friday afternoons DM: B, Players A, C, D, E, F, G - XE: Covenant of Light
Fortnightly Friday Night DM A: Players, C, H, I, J, K, L - Age of Worms
Monthly Friday night DM: H; Players A, I, J, M - Mutants & Masterminds
Fortnightly Sunday afternoon DM A; Players B, C, D, M, N, O - Ulek campaign
Monthly Saturday DM: C; Players A, C, D, E - XE: Blackwheel Company
Monthly Sunday DM: A; Players B, C, E, H, P - XE: Crimson Codex

So, that's 16 players split between 7-9 campaigns. I'm not counting the games that I don't play in, the like d20 Modern game that B runs with a couple of players not on the list!

Cheers!

How do you play in 4 different games on a Friday afternoon? Clones?

I voted 1 but technically I think it might by 0 since I am running it rather than playing in it.

Two. I have my weekly gaming group that meets at my house every Sunday night. And I also have an online Play-by-Post game that is ongoing but also with a regular session scheduled for each Wednesday night.

What do you mean by groups?

What do you mean by play in?

What do you mean by groups?

What do you mean by play in?

By groups, I mean mostly-distinct gatherings of people, playing a particular RPG (though I suppose it could be taken more broadly). By "play in" I mean "participate as a player and/or GM."

One group of mine was like yours having problems. We'd wouldn't game all that often even when we got together. Things always seem to come up to hinder gaming there. So, I reluctantly joined another group.

THe new group is great and it has been a lot of fun playing and running D&D. But with the first group totally dead I wanted something else. So, my second group is the opposite of my D&D group: Changeling. It is almost all role playing and character building fun. While D&D I play in is mostly combat and tactical D&D fun. Between the two I get what I want out of gaming.

I like your ideas, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

I was running two before I moved to Houston. So far in Houston, it has been zero, but I'm optimistic that will change early next year.

Your poll has insufficient options to express my answer. There's a fairly large circle of close-knit gamers in my area, so there's usually about six or seven games running with various combinations of people.

Closest I got these days. Not that interesting though.

I hear all of you with scheduling issues. I have PCs cancel on me the day before even though I send emails out nearly every day. We only play once a month as it is. I'm thinking of trying to find another group as a player. DMing is a thankless job (but I still love it)
