What are your D&D plans for 2014?

[ExploderWizard]

Will probably keep playing in my buddy's 4E campaign as long as he runs it, and keep running my OD&D campaign. When 5E hits I will be on the lookout for DMs seeking players to give it a try.

Since I'm GMing Slumbering Tsar (Pathfinder), we'll be doing that well into 2015.

As for D&D/WotC - if they post the rules for free online, I'll check them out. If they release materials that are compatible with 3.5/Pathfinder, I'll check those out too, but otherwise I don't expect to buy any D&D products produced by WotC.

Now that its confirmed that 5E is coming out this summer, I assume that many campaigns will be winding down or transitioning.

So what are your plans? Is it business as usual or are preparing for 5E?

As for me, my 4E campaign dwindled away about a year ago but I'm working on a campaign world for 5E that I hope to get started sometime in February. We'll use the playtest rules and then transition to the official rules when they come out. Pretty excited about it!

We switched to the play test rules a few weeks ago and will stick w/them until official rules are published then move over.

We are also going to participate in the N.E.W. play test this year which should be fun and are talking about giving Pathfinder a shot.

We play weekly so we have lots of opportunity.

I'll probably try to full version of 5E, but currently do not plan to buy it. I'm currently pretty happy with the games I have available.


I am currently a player in both a 3E game and a 4E game. Once one of those wraps up, I heard there is a 2E game going on at one of the local gaming stores. I've never played 2E, so I at least want to try it. I also have some of the 1E reprints on my shelf; I plan to try those at some point.

Other than D&D, I'm loving Star Wars: Edge of The Empire. GURPS 4E tends to be my primary rpg; even for D&D games (I use the D&D fluff; GURPS rules.) One of my friends owns Dragon Age, but I'm kinda meh on that. It was fun for a little while, but it just never really clicked with the group. I've been looking into picking up the newer Game of Thrones rpg.

Waiting to see what it looks like.

I'm concerned about things like Damage on a Miss, and the recent statements regarding Rogues. I'm waiting to see how they present the material. If it's actually modular, and those things are optional, I'll likely join 5th edition. If not, I'll join Pathfinder.

Locally, I primarily play Pathfinder, both an ongoing Kingmaker campaign and Pathfinder Society. I am also involved in a sporadic Edge of Empire game. I am also in a group that is winding down a campaign of The One Ring.

At Winter Fantasy, I will play a mix of 4E/LFR and Pathfinder Society, probably seven games of LFR and five of PFS. I will not be playing 5E/Next there. I am somewhat intrigued by the fact that the Winter Fantasy Next offerings involve re-making Living Greyhawk characters. On the one hand, that's a great way to drum up interest amongst older players from what was obviously a successful living campaign; on the other hand, I missed Living Greyhawk because of surgery residency, so the idea kind of falls flat for me. I also won't be playing Witch Hunter at Winter Fantasy. I was a backer for the recent Witch Hunter kickstarter, even got a nifty certificate to play a werewolf in the campaign, but the rulebook is yet to arrive, and I don't really want to dive into the campaign with a pre-gen. I digress.

At Origins, I probably will dive into Witch Hunter and may, again, test the Arcanis offerings. The only way that I will play 5E/Next is if a new living campaign kicks off here, but I think that is really more likely to happen at GenCon (if at all). I doubt there will be any LFR offerings, so I'll probably steer clear of 4E (unless my buddies from Toledo are there-- they love their 4E). I may play some PFS, but would rather spend the rest of my time dabbling in other game systems.

At PaizoCon, I will play all PFS.

At GenCon, I will spend just over half my time playing PFS. If there is a Next/5E living campaign starting up, I will also play the offerings for it. Otherwise, I will dabble in other systems.

At Con on the Cob, I'll probably play a mix of PFS, Shadowrun Missions, and any sort of Next/5E living campaign (if such a thing exists at that point).

When con season is over, I'll be back to playing primarily Pathfinder. If the Edge of Empire group survives, I think we are planning on dabbling in some other game systems. I would like to try Numenera, Only War, 13th Age, and Dungeon World.

I will buy Next/5E. I will play it on a somewhat regular basis only if it has a strong living campaign that catches on near my hometown.

1. Finish up the Rise of the Runelords adventure path. We had session 32 of the campaign last night. We're at the start of book 5 of 6. Should knock this out between March and May.

2. I'll take over as DM for next campaign (probably). Not sure if I'll do D&DNext or Pathfinder. We played 4e exclusively from its release until last March. Almost certainly not going back to 4e.

 

[TerraDave]

Ending my 4E campaign and then starting my 5E one.

What else would I be doing?

 

[Serendipity]

So far none at all unfortunately. For the first time in a number of years, no games are being played and none are in the planning stages (January is traditionally time for campaigns to wind down hereabouts for some reason). Nothing's wrong per se, just a confluence of things and events leading to energies being directed to other things.

Of course, 2013 wasn't precisely a banner year for gaming, largely in the sense that we didn't much. *sigh*
