I am interested in what RPGs the people here are playing. Tell me about the cool systems you are trying out or about your campaigns.

DMing the Kingmaker adventure path for Pathfinder 1st Edition. Its been great fun, and I thankfully have the kind of players that like the Kingdom Building rules (with Legendary Game's Ultimate Rulership addition) and the overall vibe of ruling a kingdom. In a few more sessions, the party will enter the War of the River Kings and im planning to really kick them in the balls with it. The past few quests have been pretty solid victories for the party, so now im going to start the war with them on their back foot.

I'm playing starfinder and I love it. Would like to play call of Cthulhu next

I'm mainly running my own system, Brighter Worlds, which is based on Cairn, Electric Bastionland, and Macchiato Monsters (with plenty of other stuff thrown in). My primary campaign is a big hex crawl in which I have scattered all of the various RPG modules I've purchased and want to run, and my players wander around causing problems and knocking down wizard towers (they have a strange vendetta against wizards).

Because I'm still playtesting the system we often pause the campaign for little 1-3 session games to test out new stuff, or to test my other game Meteor my "I want to play Mothership modules but would rather be using ITO/Cairn mechanics" hack.

My other group is much more scattered and we do one shots of various stuff constantly, most recently I ran a CBR+PNK one shot that was a ton of fun.

I'm both playing in and GMing Abomination Vaults for Pathfinder2e. Decisions were made, and my timing wasn't great, so now the party I run is only slightly behind the party I'm in 🙄. The result is it's hard to avoid spoilers for myself. Still, fun is being had by all on both sides, and that's what's important.

I came over from 5e during the OGL debacle. Had previously played PF1e and it felt like coming home. The APs are so much more fleshed out, and the work they've done integrating with Foundry has made life so much easier.

I'm running a Cyberpunk flavoured 5e oneshot which has so far turned into a three shot (yes I know I'm sorry I should have used cyberpunk to play cyberpunk but my group already knows 5e and we needed a game quick while our normal DM took a break)

I'm also running Wild Beyond the Witchlight and playing Curse of Strahd and 2 5e campaigns in homebrew worlds.

It sounds like a lot but we don't get to play any of those very frequently! Usually one or two games every couple of months.

I am planning a Monster of the week campaign soon. I really love how versatile PBtA games are, and all the different pbta systems help with specific genre emulation.

I'm currently running a Worlds Without Number game for my group which has been delightful, mostly because they've finally started to embrace the idea that they can just, like, try to do things without worrying if there are specific rules for them... Mostly because I can just bootstrap in mechanics if I really want to have them.

There's also the 5e game I'm in, but that one's just standard D&D with the twist being we're basically a traveling band of gourmets.

I have not tried Worlds Without Number yet, it sounds very cool! Having players relax and just roleplay and experiment with their actions can be a very freeing experience. A travelling band of gourmets sounds like a recipe for a lot of humour :D

I'm huge into Pathfinder, both because I have a podcast playing it and because they have amazing pre-written adventures. Those are great for me since I don't have any time to homebrew.

I'm going to be running Pathfinder for the first time next weekend, for my step-son's birthday. Got the Beginner's Box and have bee slowly flipping through it in preparation.

My D&D group has been playing 5e Dungeon of the Mad Mage since 2018, probably averaging a session once a month.

More recently I picked up the Cortex Prime Handbook and have been having fun putting together hacks. We're just about ready to try out a light-weight Harry Potter inspired one. I'm also playing around with a Pokemon hack and a more complex hack for a home-brew SciFi setting.
