hai!!! figured id start a kinda catch-all thread for tee tee arr pee gees~~

right naow im playin a campaign of Chronicles of Darkness with my gorlfriends, and i love love lurrrrve how the system handles roleplay and incentivizing making problems for yourself/your party to fit the spoooooky tone of the setting :3

in the paaaast, ive played a few games of Kill Sector, 13th Age, Blades in the Dark, and a liiiiil bitty bit of Starfinder/Pathfinder

wanna hear all yr thoughts on these and others !!! tyyyy~

I think I played like 2 ish games of Pathfinder, but i'm not so sure now because it's beena while.

I made a dude called Human Tongue. It's... not a human tongue. He was a blue birdman in manhattan that had a small business. The game didn't last longer than 1 session.

Then I made a dude called Joe, who was obsessed with spreading the word of Ra. He banded with a team of others to do s o m e t h i n g (tm). I even made a spreadsheet depicting a top down perspective of where he was for fun. I called the spreadsheet "Joe's mind", and it was really fun to construct: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing

I got my start with a very obscure (an a little unfinished) system called The Robotic Age which was pretty fun!

Unbelievably Simple Roleplaying is the first system that really clicked with me and is the one that gave me a great love for rules-lite games. I've run a ton of stuff in it because it's easy to tack on additional mechanics and stuff, it made me develop a love of homebrew and making my own systems. As it turns out, there's actually a 15 year anniversary version that just came out! Wow!

Lately I've been hopping between Kill Sector and a campaign I'm running in (a very hacked version of) Microlite20. They're both a lot of fun!

I really wanna run some sessions in either The Vanilla Game or Cairn soon, I'm eager to make people run around in a Sick and Twisted Dungeon.

Are any of you into making homebrew stuff too?

i have one or two things i rly rly wanna try makin a system for, but also a lotta scenarios i think i could homebrew into an existing one p easily, but the main thing is i have zero experience as a GM so im scaaaaared xD

rules lite stuffs is defs what got me invested in tabletop as well ! i remember havin fun w old crpgs but finding the systems a lil suffocating, and yearning for something like that in person, and i think it was my first Blades session that sold me ~w~

LET ME TEST YOUR SYSTEMS

i'm usually in 2 weekly campaigns of Pathfinder 2e at once, mostly doing pre-made adventure paths on foundry vtt. we're just finishing up Hellbreakers (which is very anti-fascist coded) and are heading into Bastion of Blasphemies soon (which is horror/castlevania coded).

right now we switched one of our slots to doing in-person Queens Dilemma, which is like a story-driven legacy boardgame where you each take on the role of a noble family trying to guide the direction of the country. it's pretty neat!

I wish I could do Pathfinder.

I tried it once and it was just way too overwhelming. Real decision paralysis during character creation.

...Which I know is *really weird* considering how much I like GURPS.

I'm currently DMing a Star Wars campaign using a highly altered version of Star Wars D20.
As the name indicated, SWD20 is built on the D20 System from D&D 3, and the campaign started as a pure Star Wars D20; as time went, we pathfinder-ified the game by backporting some of the change of pathfinder (1st ed.), and make other changes that were in accordance with the pathfinder philosophy.

I'd love to play some Shadowrun again one day, but sadly there's no one I know around me that's willing to DM it.

I'm in a Traveller campaign at present that's going really well, using a modified version of Mongoose 2e 2022.

I've had the opportunity to play and run a lot of systems over the years, if anyone ever needs a +1 feel free to reach out to me. I can help make notes d:
