What are you currently playing and/or running RPG-wise, /tg/?

I'm running the third year of a Planescape campaign, recently started running my first Dresden Files game, and I'm also running an extremely unusual Ars Magica game involving spherical cities devastating the world and arcane pastries.

As for player, going as a Dwarf Diviner Charlatan in a D&D 5e game, though sessions are very sporadic.

How about you?

Our first session took 4 hours, had roleplay for less than one of that, and involved no rolls whatsoever.

You may want to ask someone else how good it is.

D&D 5e, DM

Party has just finished an adventure where they rescued a bunch of Wood Elves that had been kidnapped. They will be returning to the Wood Elf village tonight, we play in a few hours.

Tonight's adventure will be pretty much pure roleplay. Big celebration.

Contests of song/dance/hunting. Songs will be sung. Gifts given. Wild Dances and bonfires - Fey will show up (but only the players will catch a glimpse of them). Food and wine all around.

Dice things will include options to go on the great hunt to catch a great elk that will be for the feast - winner is the great hunter. It's a big fuck over your competitor hunt in a fun way. So trip your buddy, throw a rock and make him miss, lay a false trail, that sort of thing. If any players go on it of course.

Making up song contests, general singing contests, same with dances.

Hopefully should be good for a few hours.

Orc invasion the next day...

I've just joined a Star Wars game as Mase Hayes, the hardline Rebel pilot/Internal Security bitch who will over the course of the campaign, I'm sure, learn to love the squad of rejects she's stuck with and the Lambda Shuttle they spray-painted red and put a spoiler on.

And go on a crusade, alongside the combat droid, to find a Bith tribute act for their base's cafeteria so they can have the proper cantina music on tap.

I'm currently running a campaign in its second session called PEACE WANKERS that's a mix of Metal Gear Solid and Gundam in sci-fi Cold War South America, as the USA tries to prevent the spread of communism, while local anti-American militias get PLAYED LIKE A GODDAMN FIDDLE by rebel space colonies.

In the first session the party failed to capture a terrorist group who captured a tidal power plant. In the second session they will run into armchair student liberals, future Greenpeace, Joan Baez songs and their first run-in with FALCON, the Foxhound analogue.

FALCON includes Silent Raptor, the invisible sniper and knife fighter extraordinaire, Mountain Lion, who's a Big Guy for anyone asking and dual-wields shotguns, Database Angler, a computer hacker with rocket punch arms and Predator Crocodile, a cold-blooded (literally) man with a minigun who ain't got time to bleed and is preoccupied with his choppa.

The idea is that the Great Elk is like the king of the forest, but his time is past. It isn't just about food. It is also a tribute to him. None have been able to catch him, but he is past his summers now and declining. This is his last hunt.

So at the end I'll narrate some of the elves telling how in past hunts he had outfoxed them, that sort of thing.

Nature checks to find him, survival checks to track, crossing water to give disadvantage (removed if the character says they look around for side tracks), that sort of thing. And that is from the Great Elk - he going to make it easy.

For the other hunters, in my mind, I'm playing the opening seen from the recent Conan movie where they run a race with eggs in their mouths and try to screw each other over during the race.

I'm going to be bummed if nobody takes the bait, but that is how it goes sometimes. I'm real sure about one of the players though. No real worries.

I'm currently playing through Kingmaker for Pathfinder. It's fun, in its own Pathfindery kind of way. The system wasn't really made for Kingom-building, and the rules Paizo stapled on to make it happen are a huge vague clusterfuck, but the group is solid and the guy who's GMing right now is fantastic, so we could really be playing anything and it'd be great.

I'm gearing up to step in as GM and run a campaign in REIGN's default setting in a couple of months, which I'm super excited about. It'll be interesting to see what they do when they actually have a game built with ruling kingdoms in mind, and I want to get them out of their 3.5/Pathfinder shell anyway.

After playing for half a year and losing about 3 player out of ten we're finally past startup.
They just started the fourth day, only 8 days left and every day from now on will only get longer and longer.

Nechronica, Necromancer

Testing the system with a couple of friends. Halfway through a small adventure I made for them. I really liked the system and I'm thinking of running a whole campaign with it.

Pathfinder, GM

After our last campaign fell apart about a year ago we're resetting everything with me as forever GM instead of the catastrophe of a GM rotation we did before. And also two new players.
The new campaign is set in the world that was born when the world we previously played in collapsed the players being no small fault in that. With relics from the old PCs to be found in the most unexpected places.
We've played a session and I must say that the players have not changed one bit since the last time.

Why am I never the player?

I've got three player slots in three different games, though they never start

Then last time, me and the new elven monk (who looked suspiciously identical to the old one) got some information, and on that basis killed a horse thief, and tracked down and killed another minor baddie.

4e campaign with 8 players, been going for about a year. We just finished the first adventure (very slow obviously because of how many players.) It's fun but even basic combat is a 2 hour slogfest since almost everyone is new and i have to explain each turn what dice is which and what 1[W] means.

Structuring their next adventure to be more flexible and able to leave people out so whoever shows up gets to play and whoever doesn't is left in the tavern / to their own devices, rather than be stuck waiting for 9 people total to be available. Also making the next adventure more skill / NPC interaction based with as little combat as i can get away with, but i'm worried that sessions will go from overly long to ridiculously short.

Really hard coming up with interesting non-combat challenges though. And im going to have to kick up my skill as a DM when it comes to explaining shit but not giving away answers / what i want them to do.

I'm running a biweekly RuneQuest 6 Star Wars game set during the end of the clone wars. Right now the group is facing off against a group of Mandalorian (obligatory) bounty hunters. It started with them preventing a bomb taking them out, then sniping one with an RPG from a limo, then getting pinned into an alleyway, to finally facing off against them after leaving the alley into the back of a bank and getting caught by droid security guards. The guards put them in holding and allowed the bounty hunters to catch up.

They are going against A slug throwing sharpshooter and an explosives expert armed to the teeth with a psycho Wookie, a Jedi, and the Jedi's not terribly secret Twi'lek
lover/guard. We ended the session with the Jedi ripping a repeating blaster from one bounty hunter and throwing it to the Twi'lek, and the group working their way across the lobby to fight them more directly... I don't know if they will live.

I'd suggest focusing on interesting NPC's. Accents, mannerisms, that sort of thing. Stuff that makes the character stand out - the players laugh or shudder or take note, something. You can keep a party entertained for a long time just talking to a string of NPC's if you make them fun. Just let them make insight checks or other skill checks as they like and call for deceit checks/etc now and then. They will write the script for you.

I just finished up five minutes ago myself. During play the players talked to an NPC, tried to curry favor with him, he saw through it, and now based on his reaction we have a budding conspiracy - none of which I planned. But that is where the players took me.

OK, so I just finished up. Went pretty good I think. If I could have played later we would have.

Ended up only getting through about 1/3 of what I planned, and since this was a heavy RP session I think that is pretty good. It went longer and slower because there was a lot of exploring NPC's going on.

First the players were supposed to go 'back' the way they came, through a portal that they had cleared coming in. But I failed to look at it from the players point of view and to them they thought they would face another hard fight on the other end (there was no one though). They almost decided to take the rescued villagers back the long way (through the woods) that would have taken probably a dozen days at least. Which would have been fun as hell though, lots of survival checks and planning to keep them alive and dealing with random encounters.

I hadn't planned it, but I wish they had gone that route. In the end they decided to kill the two guards they saw (that was all there was) and take the shorter route back.

Still, the spent probably an hour just scouting, planning, positioning, more recon, etc. Good tense stuff, even if only for two guards.

Getting back they gave out gifts (to try and get favor), one person saw through it but rather than being offended reacted as a kindred spirit 'we will have need of each other later'. Freaked the players out way more than I intended. They decided he was evil and up to something, I decided 'why not'. Now he is in league with the drow. Who knew.

Big celebration happens after the great hunt (didn't get to that), do that next session.

Went better than I feared.

It's going well so far, I'm allowing any race/class with review, and writing them into the homebrew setting I've got, so that they have a place in the world, with potential plot hooks to follow.

It's working out well, truth be told, and added a good deal to the setting itself that I hadn't really considered. For instance, someone wanted to play a half dragon, or dragonlike race. So I wrote up the dragons' origin, how the human/dragon crossbreeds exist, and how they fit into the setting.
Same thing goes for strange classes, I take the class features and refluff them to fit the magic stylings of the world, give a small portion to their organization and origins.
Not really any problems so far, the setting is still pretty much in development, so that helps a whole lot.

Just started Degenesis. The players are fresh Awakened with varying levels of amnesia and brain damage. The players knew nothing of the setting going in, so it was pretty exciting. Thus far they've opened the lower levels up to their Ashen worshippers, who have rallied a small army, now equipped with the fruits of a pre-Eschaton armoury. I suspect they've begun to question the legitimacy of their minions' claims about the world above, but they have an 80 man warband at their backs, completely and utterly devoted to them, so who knows what will happen from here.

DMing two GURPS campaigns. One is an occult murder mystery (which is on hiatus until Christmas break) and the other is a dark fantasy exploration/survival game I'm running for the players who aren't off at college.

The mystery game has been really fun, and I hope to wrap it up over Christmas. The party has finally figured out who the cult leader behind the murder is, and started to take steps to stop them and banish the cult's patron once and for all.

The dark fantasy game is only a few sessions in, but its doing reasonably well. Half the party nearly died to some incidental encounters due to stupidity and bad rolls, but the party scout managed to resist the toxic nettles she fell in, and one of our other players burned all of his fate points to allow the other character to not die ( it's a low point, high lethality game with a kind of pool of spare characters/ npcs as part of their band of survivors. They also basically have
Fate/luck points that go by player and not by character to give them a little leeway). Said player was incredibly pissed when the guy who nearly died immediately charged out to try to get revenge and once again nearly died

Currently GMing the second campaign with my WIP homebrew system, Universal D6, in a post-apocalyptic steam/diesel fantasy setting based on alternative Earth. Please bear with me,I know it sounds really stupid when written down.

Playing in two different D&D 5E campaigns with the same crew of players.

Campaign #1: Callahan Caldwell, LN War Cleric of Torm - the prosecutor, the judge and the executioner, with enough mercy to spare the truly penitent. Armed with strong sense of law and justice, a radiant sun maul and armored by bulwarks of blind faith and fire-tested steel, he tries his best to be the guiding moral compass for the rest of the party.
Last arc ended with the group overthrowing a fiend-worshipping necromancer guild, controlling a dwarven city as the richest and the most dominant guild (Jewellers' guild).
Now we're about to run after a Fiend-Bladelock (PC) who wound up with an amulet containing a Tyr'ian fiend-hunter saint's soul - which was taken from Callahan by our group's shadow monk during a court session, me against our wizard, the case being defiling said saint's grave. What a wonderful clusterfuck, and we're loving it.

Campaign #2: Balthasar Wildstone, CG rock gnome custom class wild mage, formerly half-elf - three-fold cheater of death, an endless source of random magical crap, and the only one with a good heart. He has been hugged by Death, kissed by a succubus, resurrected himself, reincarnated himself as a rock gnome... He also levitates and is invisible unless he speaks - but he can't speak unless he is addressed! He also can only see through his familiar's eyes - an accidentally enlarged owl Oh, and he once summoned a powerful demon to an inter-party FFA arena match! And...and...
Currently we're on a quest to kill a necromancer who has obtained a Book of Vile Deeds, and we're in his hideout dungeon. Another wonderful clusterfuck, and this time all by myself. And I love it!

Playing an Elf Ranger (Sharpshooter Paragon) in a 4E game (my old character, an Eladrin Warlord) has been recuperating after being "treated" by the local prince and saved by the party. He's in the care of some local witches.

Running a 5E game with a Zelda Homebrew I found. Party is about to take on the BBEG, Yuga-Ganon.

No game at the moment. Finished our last one a few weeks ago.

It's true what they say. No game is better than a bad game. I don't miss it, but I do miss playing good games.

The two Nechronica games I GMed have ended now, but I need to write up the epilogue for one.

As for what I'm playing:
Nechronica 1: We're working on taking out the asshat pretending to be our necromancer while leeching the real one's power. Have to kill a damn army along the way, but we're about halfway done with that. My PC is trying to stay sane and often barely succeeding.

Nechronica 2: This starts Friday and I don't know what I'm in for. Should be exciting and/or traumatizing.

AD&D 2E: We're heroes turned to villains by power and opportunity. Right now, we're exploring what is probably a cloud giant wizard's stronghold. We're all a bit inept, so casualties are highly likely.

FantasyCraft: Killed a giant worm, hit level 3, went on downtime. We're having separate mini-sessions to resolve a couple things.

Good luck man, 4e with 8 players who are also new must be a chore, and I say this as a hardcore 4rry. I maxed out at 6, and I had to restrain myself from killing one of the players.

Honestly, I would make a selection of the most involved 4-5 players and drop the rest. It would be better for you, since you'll have to focus on less characters for adventure design, and in general for the speed of the game. I know that a lot depends on the party dynamics, but nowadays I wouldn't go near a group that's not fully committed.

>Running
Anima: Beyond Fantasy. Players are currently trying to figure out what interest one of the most obscenely powerful dragons in the setting has in them.
>Playing
Rise of the Runelords in 5e. Two man party, Elven Ranger(me) and Silver Dragonborn Paladin are currently below the glassworks, clearing out goblins, moss servants or whatever they're called, and the odd zombie.

Legend of Zelda in Savage Worlds. We're playing in the time right after Link beats Ganon in OoT and returns to the past, but without Navi. Currently in/around Death Mountain, may be in the actual Fire temple, idk, missed last session.

Playing D&D 3e, because that's what my players overwhelmingly requested. Hold me please.

Just started my second Noumenon campaign, hopefully this one isn't a clusterfuck. Then again - it's Noumenon, so who knows.
