Assuming I get a chance to play, with young kids in the household again it makes it tricky, but would like to he able to play:

1. Discworld - played their free introductory adventure but has left me wanting more.
2. Warhammer fantasy role playing 4e - have the starter set that I want to try out with a group.
3. Age of Sigmar - group i usually play with has been playing this, but I haven't had chance as yet to join them for it since youngest has come along.
4. One Ring - have played through 2e first starter set, but would like to get teeth into proper campaign as such.

Ultimately I suspect I wont get much gaming in, and my list for 2027 will be very similar

Mostly taken over from the other thread: I have two games that I want to keep playing / running:

1. Pulp Cthulhu / Two-Headed Serpent (player)
2. Beyond the Wall / Custom Hexcrawl (GM)

And then there's a "short list" of things from which I hope to run at least one game in addition:

1. Warhammer The Old World / Custom adventure based on Grim Portents or whatever will be in the Starter Set
2. Alien Evolved Edition / Rapture Protocol
3. Vaesen / City of My Nightmares, maybe Haunting of Castle Gyllencreutz as a prelude

• Oath Hammer
• At the Gates
• Curseborne
• The Old World RPG
• Genesys + Embers of the Imperium

 

[Fenris-77]

1. His Majesty the Worm
2. Dolmenwood
3. Rivers of London

Everything else is Shadowdark related playtests of my own stuff for Shadows of Empire. Honestly, even getting three new games to the table seems like a pipe dream, but I can try.

Rolemaster exclusively, all year.

Edit: actually, also some ACKSish OSR dungeoncrawling with my nieces and nephews. And possibly some Against the Darkmaster, since one nephew is getting that for Christmas.
