Of all the rpgs you own and like, which is the least likely to be played in 2027?

[agrayday]

TW2000, Forbidden Lands, and Avatar Legends.

Most likely? Daggerheart.
Not my most desired.

I realized I answered the inverse of the question...
I'd like to get Planet of the Apes to table, but probably won't. It's very close mechanically to WEG D6.....
I'd like to run an Alien campaign, but probably won't.

SLA Industries.

I have had this game for years, but have yet to work out how to sense of the setting sufficiently to create anything in it.

thotd

To answer the question, Talislanta(1989) 2nd ed.. been talking about getting this game going for years now.. actually it came out in 80s, so decades now!! dammit!! Maybe 2028 is the year Set to run "Into the Zone" by Brenden Carlson.. but currently group is in scheduling hell.

fun tidbit, having read through Talislanta in the past 12 months, the conflict resolution is similar to the DC target in 3e(2000) +, which DCCarl is also using a variant of, though DCCarl looks to be more of a skill based system using d20+mod(s) resolution to hit a "Difficulty Number" vid. seemed to avoid using term DC, and D&D 3.x+ era of stat use. i.e stat/10(round down) is modifier.

Of all the rpgs I own, D&D 5e is the least likely to be played in 2027.

There are 5 main reasons for that:
•Most of the groups with whom I play have moved to other systems.
•I've been surprised to find that new prospective players find other games easier to pick up.
•Virtually all of my recent (since about 2023-2024) purchases have been other systems (DCC, Shadowdark, OSRIC, GURPS, etc).

Besides GURPS(don't know enough to say otherwise), these "other systems" are basically like D&D clones.. with some homebrew thrown in. =P

Im aware of, but never played GURPS.. did own a cyberpunk splat book someone snuck in my ebay purchased ad&d 2e Dark Sun box set in/around 2004.. found it when ebaying my stuff in 2020 and cataloging everything. lol

DCC you mean Classics or CARL ? going to get confusing with DCC now.

CARL is on our list to play, two guys backed.. got some high volume of tables in at GENCON per Dungeon Craft list(ranked #10 i think).. i watched a vid. yesterday with a 5 min summary of the rules, seemed interesting but at first glance just another d20-eque clone.

Probably Materia Mundi, which is a shame, as it's a neat love letter to B/X D&D with some Asian media influences (the magitech mecha, notably).

own dozens of b/x clones.. eh whats another one

looks cool enough, thanks!

To some extent, yes. But that goes to show that I can (and do) enjoy the idea of D&D; the game that's called D&D has simply evolved in a direction different from where I would like to go. For example, DCC (Dungeon Crawl Classics) has very different magic that feels unpredictable and, well, magical. The general vibe feels a lot more like the various fantasy novels and movies that I enjoy.

All things considered, I don't particularly care for Shadowdark, but I did purchase the kaiju supplement that was on Backerkit not long ago. I'll likely make use of it for other games.

So if you don't really like D&D like the OG post said I would love to know what the game is that you currently like that you don't think you'll play in 2027.

This thread has been a cool eye opener for games to look into!

I'll probably go with Twilight 2000. I'd really like to try the new version and play it again, but I think it would take a certain group of people to really get into it, and I have no such group in mind. For my normal group that actually gets together to play new games, I might say World of Synabarr, but the thing with a group that is playing new games we've never played before, by time we're ready for a new game, somebody is really excited for something else, much more excited than I would ever be pitching World of Synabarr seriously.

FATE and 4e.

Both systems are fun, but I am in ongoing Daggerheart and 5.5 campaigns and will probably run those systems when I get back into the GM's seat

I like (and own) Edge of the Empire, but it seems unlikely that I will play it in 2027.

The group with whom I would possibly play Edge will still be doing the GURPS Fallout campaign they have going.

Also, as said upthread, I expect some of the Backerkit stuff I supported to arrive around then, and none of it is related to Edge of the Empire.
