D&D General It's Game Night! What's On the Table?

[CleverNickName]

If you were running (or participating in) a game this weekend, what would you run? Pick your top three, and tell us all about it.

Tuesdays: Pathfinder second edition. Good system, but also quite heavy. We're into our second campaign, Stolen Fate, having finished Abomination Vaults.

Thursdays: Lancer. Great mech-rpg. It should appeal to people who like mechs and who feel D&D is too mechanically bloated and not tactical enough. The most unusual thing about it is the near total separation between the narrative system and the tactical combat system.

More of a hypothetical, but I would like to run Triangle Agency. It's basically, well, uh... Difficult to explain. It's like Paranoia + X-files? The rulebook is absolutely insane.

Sadly I am just in a single group that I am running for the moment due to scheduling issues, but otherwise two 5E games: one Friday nights and the other often Tuesday or Thursday nights.

This Saturday (assuming I am up for it, since I’ve been battling the latest round of daycare crud my kid brings home), I am running session #57 of my 5e (2014 + houserules) game - Revenants of Saltmarsh- from 11 am to 2 pm.

That evening some friends are throwing a board game night but I am gonna stay home with the kid while my wife goes (since she watches the kid while I run my game).

If I had my druthers to run anything I wanted in addition to my 5e game, it’d be Car Wars (or maybe finally give Gaslands a try) and some play tests of my VF5E homebrew (which I actually plan to start scheduling soon).

This week it's a 5e campaign around an inquisition of magic users during a bad winter.

Next week it's a Call of Cthulhu one shot in an Antarctic research station. Drilling too deep into the ice may not be a good idea.

Well, I'm actually running FrontierSpace, so is that number 1? If I was able to join in other games I would like to find a Cyberpunk Red game. Then maybe a Fallout 2d20. A third one I would be pretty open. I've enjoyed Savage Worlds and Cthulhu in the past as one-shots. Since we're in the D&D thread, then I would say 5E. I've played all the other editions and just don't have a desire to go back to them.

 

[DEFCON 1]

I play in a long-term weekly Pathfinder game (so I voted 3E / 3.5 for that)... if/when I run games myself I run 5E (voted for that)... and then if not those two then it's board games (voted other non-D&D for that.)

Sadly a vast ocean of emptiness and broken dreams. Someone forgot to put game night on their calendar.

 

[The Soloist]

Friday, our online group is starting a Cypher System scenario using the Predation setting.

Dragonbane is always on my solo table, ready when I want to continue my campaign.
