I’m playing in an OSE game that’s running us through various dungeons and that’s been fun. Outside of OSR I’m also in Traveller and VtM games.
Ooh, which edition of Traveller are you playing?
Mongoose 2nd. It’s my first time playing Traveller and I’m enjoying my role as the ship engineer. Turning wrenches was my calling all along.

I’m lucky enough to be running/playing in a few games at the moment - including my first in-person table in literally years.
- We just did session 0.5 for a Whitehack game that will start in 2~3 weeks after some vacations wrap up. I’m very excited for that one - in person, just met everyone, the group is vibing crazy hard, and we used a really rad mini-game to create the world (The Ground Itself).
- I play in a Dungeon World game that’s going OK. Feels a little like it’s trying to find its feet atm.
- I run a Cairn game set in Dolmenwood that, after a PC decided to just straight up eat some fairy memory crystals, has turned into a Troika! fever dream game running The Forest Primordia. Might be my favorite game I’ve ever run as the players are just all excellent.
I’m envious of all the games you’ve got going on!
It’s probably the most I’ve had going on at any one time. They’re all very brief though - 2~2.5 hours at most - which, oddly, has turned out to be pretty great for those games where everyone’s focused and ready to get stuff done.
My home games run about that long per session and it’s a pretty good length if everyone is focused. That said, I do miss longer sessions now and again.
I don’t really get to play much these days. But I’m currently reading Fléaux! to help me flesh out the Black Sword Hack campaign I’m planning.
Possibly The Black Hack. We wrapped up a Worlds Without Number game 2 weeks ago.
Very vanilla here. Playing a 7 year long campaign of D&D 5e that just reached a huge bossfight. It’s the culmination of an arc we started 2 years ago. Recently jumped into a Pathfinder first edition and have been digging a little more crunch (and jank).
I have been considering dipping my toe into GMing soon, probably in 5e since that is what I am most familiar with. Planning to run one of the starting modules just to familiarize myself with the concept of DMing.
Wow! Good luck with that boss fight! I enjoyed my time with 3/3.5e (essentially PF1) but I didn’t love it. GMing is great and I think everyone should try it at least once! 5E can be very challenging to GM so don’t worry about making mistakes (you will, we all do) just try to stay loose and have fun. The first two starter kit boxes have pretty good adventures in them. I’m not as much of a fan of the latest one but it is more linear so it might be better for a new GM.
Black Wyrm of Brandonsford tonight. I’ve run it once before and it was a hit. Players are continuing their leveled peasants directly from a game of Lair of the Lamb. Using a hack of Knave with 3 stats and a luck mechanic. Who needs 6 stats anyway?
Nice! It sounds like a great time!
I’ve been running Worlds Without Number and Cities WIthout Number campaigns. I’m also putting the final touches to my homebrew game based on blending ACKS, WWN and classic B/X.
I haven’t read Cities yet but WWN is a terrific resource. Your homebrew sounds fascinating! I’d love to hear more about it (maybe in its own thread? 😂).
Cities is still in beta (version 0.24 currently) as the Kickstarter was so recent, but I believe it’s planned to be finished by end of the month. I’ve been GMing it since version 0.07 though, and found it very playable already from day 1 :)
When I finish my homebrew I’ll post some more about it. :)
