Are you working on a campaign? Are you a player in a campaign? Do you play D&D? What edition? A different RPG? A homebrew? Boardgames? Cardgames? Wargames? Do share.

I recently finished playing the 5E Curse of Strahd campaign. Myself and a friend of mine played two halves of an Ettin adapted into a player race; we were pretty weak mechanically compared to the other characters, but we had many uses and definitely had the best story about us. I'm in the early stages of planning the next character, and I'm thinking of making a gibbering chaotic-neutral druid with little semblance of language, a love of wildshaping and a complete wildman personality; if you turn away from them for too long, they'll likely start preening your hair for insects to eat.

I'm currently working on two different campaigns for a custom system I first developed about six years ago, a Frankenstein's Monster of elements from other systems that I unashamedly stole. One campaign is a full-length medieval-fantasy style campaign in an expanded version of the existing setting I made for this sort of thing during my biggest, two-year-long campaign a few years back; the other is a steampunk/clockwork-Victorian dual-DM campaign I'm co-writing and hosting with one of the players from that long campaign, though it's mostly her baby. If I'm sitting idle in observer mode in a server, I'm likely typing up notes for these campaigns.

What about you?

If you ever play Pathfinder, try and play with the Background Skills and Gestalt house rules.

It can make some tier 5 classes actually viable

I was supposed to play MASKS last night but redtape couldn't stop giggling and mumbling bane to himself so we had to call it after chargen

You sound like a hothead who lost her composure.

Never played Pathfinder. Don't even know the difference off-the-cuff, to be honest.

Is masks that teen superhero game

I'm playing too many tabletops

The two most exciting is a DnD game where I'm running around as an artificer trying to build a construct shell to slot my soul into and start a transhumanism cult (the flesh is weak, metal is strong, shed your biological body and become synthetic!)

The other is a heavily modified DnD 5E game where I'm running around as an extremely powerful caster trying to kill the gods for being douchebags and tormenting humanity (but mostly for mocking her)

Yeah

classic redtape

I play in 2 Pathfinder games, I run 3 Shadowrun games, play one Rogue Trader and I'm in a now-inactive/hibernating World of Darkness

Didn't we have a tabletop thread on here somewhere? I think it was in off-topic
Anyway, quality of games depends a lot on quality of GM and whether or not players actually show up.
Some players will just not show up no matter what you do or how often you remind them, and it's more luck than planning if they're joining a game
And some GMs will not plan out much or completely mess up parts of the game, not just newbie GMs either.

Still one of the better ways to pass time

I run XSI's hibernating World of Darkness (One of our players is having Real Life troubles so it's on extended hiatus), I run an IRL game of D&D 3.5, I play in an IRL game of D&D 3.5, I run drunken Paranoia with friends IRL on an irregular basis, I play in an Ars Magica game online, an Eclipse Phase game online, I'm gearing up for a game of Monsterhearts with a hack for longer campaigns staying good and another Ars Magica game, I play in a online Burning Wheel version of Dark Sun on a roughly bi-monthly schedule, and I run an IRL Burning Wheel game and Ars Magica game.

All of the above games except Dark Sun and Paranoia meet weekly.

Meanwhile Shadow's all "I'm in three games, that's too many"

YOU ARE LIKE LITTLE BABY MAN

MY RPGDICK IS DA BIGGEST AND DA BEST

I used to be in 5 at once. One Fri eve, Sat morn, Sat eve, Sun morn, Sun eve.

All DnD 5E. I started to burn out so I eased up.

I play exalted and scion

Running 3 different campaigns at once and a player to a fourth. Tis fun.

a friend of mine has an apocalypse world campaign going but he hasn't actually gotten us together in months

Trying to get a Starfinder game going at some point. Would love to start a new PF game too, just need those players.
