I just wanna know what ongoing games you all are playing! If it’s ongoing catan meet ups, TTRPGS, or what not! What are you excited for?

I’m personally excited to play tomorrow, which is a villain campaign and I play as a psychotic kobold that is trying to impress a red dragon he has a crush on by burning enough things!

    Ooh, there’s plenty!

    • Frosthaven with my partner, we have the game set up on our gaming table so we can easily play a session whenever we want to. Which is almost daily.

    • Oathsworn also with my partner, it’s a campaign game with epic miniatures and we make sure to paint each new one that unlocks each chapter, so there’s a bit more time in between each of the games.

    • D&D 5e with a group of friends, we’ve been playing for over 5 years already. We used to play every other week, but life gets in the way so now it’s once every 3-4 weeks. It’s an amazing entirely homebrew campaign. I play a pretty “normal” Dwarf fighter who’s having an adventure with her whacky crazy friends. I love them all.

    • Clank! Legacy with some good friends, although we took a bit of a break from competitive games and now just play coop games when we see each other!

    I’m running a game of the Root RPG. Based on Powered by the Apocalypse. 5 friends playing, 2 of them rather martial minded and the other 3 combat averse so it’s an interesting balancing act!

    On the boardgame side, I just started playtesting Nature, and am very excited about it. I’ve loved each iteration of the Evolution series more than the last and see a lot of potential in this final entry.

    I’m currently involved in three different 5e campaigns!

    The Scorn of Melchior: A homebrew campaign I created for my fiancee and her siblings that we play weekly! It’s my first time DMing and I’m still pretty new to DnD so it’s a bit of a learning curve! I have a lot of fun with it though!

    Under the Midnight Sun: I’m playing as a College of Whispers Bard. Each session (or 2) is a new heist and we do downtime planning in between sessions. Currently running about twice a month! It’s a lot of fun, my character is very much playing a seductive street magician who relies on slight of hand more than actual magic for her tricks and uses it as an excuse to swindle her audience. Also in our canon, College of Whispers is not quite a traditional bard school and more the result of a curse that is spread to each member by a previous member.

    Quaybound: A weekly guild ran out of a local board game cafe. It’s a weekly one shot with over 60+ members that rotate out with multiple DMs. It’s a lot of fun! I’m playing a Great Old Ones, pact of the tome Warlock. Since it’s weekly one shots backstory isn’t too important however I did make myself my own Shadow Tome spell book that contains all my spells and cantrips as well as character sheet that I bring with me each session to reference! It’s a lot of fun!

  • I’m looking forward to running my first Pirate Borg game next week. It’s my first foray far as running an OSR/NSR game and I’m very excited!

    Otherwise I’m playing Apawthecaria. Which is a solo/co-op rpg where you are a woodland critter gathering reagents to cure ailments of other critters you come across. Very cozy to play when winding down.

    I have a phenomenal D&D 5e GM. We’re on the third campaign (with some folks coming/going… me and the DM are the only ones that have lasted the whole time). It’s a homebrew world with bits and pieces borrowed from all over.

    But what I find really fun: each campaign has been separated in time (1 -> 2 was many hundreds of years, and 2 -> 3 was a few decades). He’s been able to weave our past exploits into the lore and mythology of the world. In campaign 1, our characters ascended to godhood to replace the old gods that had died out (causing all sorts of chaos in the land). Now there are churches and sects and secret cabals dedicated to them. There are also times when I have to remind myself that my character doesn’t know everything that I know! There’s this one immortal wizard who keeps coming back to taunt us like Q in Star Trek: TNG, but each new campaign, I have to play dumb while secretly shaking my fist.

    We are more on the euro side so it tends to be one-off sessions. Closest thing I have is a bunch of BGA and Yucata games. Currently in progress: Tash-Kalar, Challengers, Next Station: London, Canvas, Micro Dojo, Newton, Mottainai.

    Are any of you one of those BGA players with a crazy number of concurrent turn based games? I always wondered how people manage to keep up with hundreds of games at once.

    Our group has just started the intro campaign to Symbaroum. Still learning the ropes, but really enjoying the lore and how it plays. It’s totally normal for your character to have 10HP max for the duration of the campaign, so every encounter has been super tense and interesting!

  • I DM a Saturday session of the computer RPG Neverwinter Nights every weekend. You have to have the Enhanced Edition from Steam in order to play.

    The campaign setting is Daggerford in the Forgotten Realms using D&D 3.5 Edition rules. The party just completed a month-long mini campaign for spooky season, but the overall campaign they’re currently unraveling regards the presence of a tribe of disaffected mixed lizardkin in the area called ‘The Outcasts’. (Kobolds, Troglodytes, and such.)
