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.

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

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

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’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.

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 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

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

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.

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’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.

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.
