My group recently switched from D&D 5e to Pathfinder 2e. We are playing through the Beginner box, and after that I'm planning on running Abomination Vaults for them (Shoutout to the TableTop Gold podcast for turning me onto that awesome AP)

I have been playing Pathfinder 2e for the last few years. We just finished a Starfinder campaign, and are starting up a Lancer game in it's place. I've wanted to try Lancer for years, so I'm pretty excited for it! :D

Currently running Age of Ashes for PF2e. It's been great so far. PF2e is my preferred system to GM in as it has rules for everything you can think of, which from a GM's pov is great as I can consistently rule the same in each session or in each campaign we play.

Also play DnD5e pbp on a community discord server and I live play Delta Green (Call of Cthulhu).

There are plenty of systems out there to try and I would suggest trying a few of them. DnD is obviously the most popular, but may not fit the type of world / game you prefer.

I have historically played a lot of 5E, but I've been looking to try out Pathfinder for quite a while now. I'm interested to see what happens with the remaster in November.

I'm planning on two solo campaigns, one with EDGE Studio (originally Fantasy Flight Games) Star Wars RPG. A mix of both Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion, and Force and Destiny further down the road. But I plan on running it during the Old Republic era. I quite enjoy playing the SWRPG/Genesys system. I know the narrative dice is hard to get behind for some people but I prefer it. It feels a bit more transparent what you'll get, plus it's fun to roll a lot of dice so there's that tactile aspect to it too 😁

The second campaign is with Ironsworn: Starforged. I actually want to use this solo game as a basis for my web serial that I want to write in the near future. The system is built with solo play in mind, but it can be played co-op or guided by a GM. IIRC, the original basis of the system was PbtA, heavily modified. Ironsworn was what introduced me to the concept of playing a TTRPG solo! Which was awesome, considering my previous experiences playing a TTRPG with a group keep falling apart for one reason or another...

I also want to try City Without Numbers, the cyberpunk variant of World Without Numbers and Stars Without Numbers. I backed it on Kickstarter and sorta waiting for a slightly more complete version before I dive in. Again, it's something I plan on running solo as well...

I am considering a play-by-post game, likely with the Ironsworn: Starforged system. Largely because of the nature of PbtA games, which tends to give and encourage more agency to players. Plus the support for running it co-op means ideally, no one is relied on as the GM, constantly having to respond to a player's inquiry or action before anyone else can move forward.

Just supported the second edition of Knave (an OSR RPG) on Kickstarter, looking forward to playing that with a group when it gets delivered. Also planning on potentially starting an Electric Bastionland campaign to tide over until then.

I'm getting ready to play 5e with some friends. We were supposed to start last week, but the DM had a migraine and it got postponed. I've only done a one shot before, so this will be my first proper ongoing campaign with progression.

I'm running See You Space Cowboy tomorrow and then playing in a fantasy hack of it on Thursday. sure is easy keeping track of mechanics that way! i've also got a copy of Blueholme (holmes basic dnd retroclone) i'm dying to run eventually

Since there's just the two of us right now, my wife and I are playing a co-op Ironsworn. It's been pretty fun but a bit tough at times since you have to think up your own story. The oracles help, but sometimes we get stuck.

We're pretty new to it all so we just chalk it up to inexperience. I'm sure it'll get better.

I'm about to finish up a Pathfinder 2e conversation of the 5e module Curse of Stradh. My players all decided to make my life hard and play as skeletons. It's made for a very unique campaign as I've had to think outside the box for how all the , normally, friendly NPCs would react to undead "heros". There's a lot of undead in the campaign and my players took a feat that essentially lets them try diplomatic solutions with undead before they become hostile. It's made encounters that should be combat into diplomatic missions and what should be safe places with friendly NPCs into high stakes (pun intended) stealth missions with potential for combat. The damsel in distress was horrified when she discovered her heros were undead and now has trust issues. Items the module sprinkles around are all for living heros to fend off the undead, so there's so much less help for my players and some of the help is more of a hindrance or outright deadly for them now. It's completely changed the dynamic of the module in such an interesting way and both my players and I have loved it.

I'm currently running a campaign in D&D5e and am playing in two others, there's a Scion campaign that I play in and yesterday a short campaign for Vampire the Masquerade had it's kick off. Additionally I'm currently planning a few shot for TORG Eternity that I'm going to run during summer break with the Scion group.

I was GMing a game of Dungeon World (a PbtA system) with my friends last year. I had to put the games on hold when real life got in the way, but it's a really fun system. It's kind of old now, but I was deliberately looking for a fleshed-out system that was more or less 'Done,' meaning I wouldn't have to buy another book every 4-6 months to stay current. Anyway, It will be fun to return to it and pick up where we left off.

I also want to run a one-shot of DURF as a palette cleanser sometime down the line. It's a free rules-lite, classless TTRPG weighing in at a whopping 12-pages, and has an elegant way of balancing minimal stats with clever inventory management, a stress system to improve roll results, and encourages planning/provisioning before embarking on adventures (it's more interesting than it sounds).

Based on how that goes I may try to get the group to try Vaults of Vaarn, which is somewhat similar but based on Knave, and is a post-apocalyptic setting with an emphasis on exploration. It also has crazy fungal-people, mutants, and robot/cyborg PCs. It reads a bit like if the games Kenshi, Caves of Qud, and Sable all had a baby, with maybe a dash of Mad Max??

Anyway, some fun systems all around.

Dungeons & Dragons 5e. D&D Beyond just make it really easy to do. Previously played Pathfinder and Shadowrun using tools like Hero Lab.

As I've gotten older I really value tools that do a lot of the crunchy rules for us as opposed to having to have a strong knowledge of the books mechanics.

I was gifted a collection of Call of Cthulhu books a while back and have been really itching to try it out. I think I'll give the short starting adventure a shot in the next couple of weeks. Other than that I really want to get back into CP2020. Red looks fun but I already have the 2020 source books.

Currently playing in a Theros 5e campaign. I say Theros but it’s really window dressing for whatever random ideas our DM comes up with. It’s so much fun! We’re at the tail end of the campaign but our DM has loads of ideas so he’s dragging it out to get more of them in, which is fine by us. We’ll be moving to PF2e for our next campaign, which I’m really looking forward to. We’ve considered moving the current campaign over with the OGL drama, but most of characters can’t be converted over easily.

I have been running a very simplified and chopped down version of gurps about surviving a dangerous British town as a group of orphans trying to pay their rent. Its been really fun despite me being rather new to the system and to DMing in general.

I think if I wanted to expand on different systems, I'd wanna try more "toolbox", genre-less types of RPGs, though less crunchy like FUDGE or even risus. I like the flexibility those types of RPGs give in making your own world and being able to pick and choose rules. But i may stick with gurps for now because it already has that and I also like a simulation type of rpg. It has a noice amount of crunch that I appreciate.

Battletech, love me some 'mechs.

I'm currently GMing a campaign of Skull & Shackles (a Pathfinder 1E campaign) in Pathfinder 2E and my players and I are having a blast

I'm currently DM-ing for an Avatar Legends group. It's a Powered by the Apocalypse system and honestly it's great! We love it and it allows us to make great character driven stories!

Each playbook (think class but shifted towards character archetype instead of mechanical archetype) has an inner struggle represented by unique principles, such as Restraint vs Results or Excellence vs Community. During play, the characters shift between their principles in accordance with their actions, but the point of it is to achieve balance: if a character falls out of balance by moving too far towards a principle, they suffer consequences.

The system also has a horizontal progression system, a tight and unique combat ruleset and mechanics geared towards encouraging rp, such as a character marking the "angry" condition making them be less likely to successfully comfort someone. To remove that condition, the character has to either break something important or to vent their anger on one of their friends, or another player might comfort them to help them work through that anger.

I absolutely love it, but then again, I always preferred narrative based games, which might not be for groups into crunching numbers or fighting everything.

Savage Pathfinder and Necessary Evil, I’m a long time D&D player (since the late 80’s) but recently switched over from 5e to Savage Worlds. I haven’t played NE yet, but just got the beta release of the SWADE updates. I really like the fast pace combat and smaller book sizes. I feel there is less focus on crunch (but LOTS of player options) and more on story.

On a side note, are there any Lemmy servers dedicated for TTRPG? Im new here from Reddit and building up my Reddit replacement!!

I've just played DnD 5e for the very first time, and I quite liked it.

I'm currently playing in a DnD 5e Rime of the frostmaiden campaign, but for the next one we want to switch to Pathfinder 2e. At the moment i'm writing a campaign that could become that PF2 game but i'm not sure if there is a better system for what i have in mind (a single large scale siege in a late medival pseudo-european/HRE setting). Also i kind of want to run the mountain witch and maybe someday i will finish my own cyberpunk/post-cyberpunk system, because I still have not found a cyberpunk game that I actually like.

I've been wanting to try Ironsworn since it launched, but I always get distracted 😅
