Pathfinder, D&D 5e, Call of Cthulhu, and Vampire: the Masquerade.
The V:tM group is about to implode due to out-of-game drama, and the Call of Cthulhu group went on hiatus a few months ago. The 5e group is a therapy group but has a couple powergamers making everyone miserable. The Pathfinder group is the only sane one, and they’ve been doing the same campaign for going on three years now.
Just finished a long campaign using a system loosely based on 5e based on Animorphs that my friend made. Has entirely new classes, races, feats, and abilities.
I finished up a Mutants and Masterminds campaign last month, now I run two DnD games weekly, one for my particular party and one open to all comers.
Thank you! You’re doing Lliira’s work!
Well, the rule at the shop is you need to DM a game open to everyone to get to reserve a spot for your own stuff.
A lot of the usual suspects, but when my group of grognards plays we reach back a bit. Tomorrow we’re playing Traveler. Last few times we played it was Champions.
I’d like to run an OpenD6 game of I can pull a group together. The last few times I ran it was D6 Star Wars, but I like the system for other genres as well.
Spare a thought for those of us running a TTRPG via Foundry VTT. 90% of the cool mods are for DnD or Pathfinder, which is a problem if you’re running Dark Heresy or FATE or something.
the fabula ultima mod for foundryvtt is tasty and excellent
Can’t find that in the Foundry mod store? Is that only for Fabula Ultima or system agnostic?

still in beta afaik!
I’m prepping a one-shot with Fangelsehala and a longer campaign with Mothership.
I’m gonna bookmark this. Please let me go how the Mothership Campaign goes. I would live to run something in that system. But it seems like the character die way to fast for ä ling lasting campaign.
I own the tidebreaker extension and if your experience is good I’d love to run it as a campaign setting with my group.
I’ll send you an update once it’s done. My group rotates GMs and systems but within a few months I’ll have them doing Gradient Descent.

How do I upvote more than once?
I’m running a game for a steampunk airship crew in GURPS over Foundry.
Local game shop seems to be about half D&D and related, but I do see a fair number of others represented.
Das schwarze Auge, Hexxen, Mothership and Warhammer Fantasy. I do still have a long running DnD Campaign, but I’m hoping on finishing that sometime this or early next year.
I’ve started running call of cthulhu and I really love it so far
I just started a game of Thirsty Sword Lesbians for a bunch of 13-16 year olds.
… Wait, officer, just let me explain…
just never could get into D&D.
currently playing Apocalypse Keys. planning a FATE game, and Outgunned.
Paranoia and Mothership
Is the US situation that bad regarding game diversity ?
I am in a very active club, and less than half of the games are D&D and clones (including pathfinder and OSR in D&D and clones), before that I was part of an active online community, and again while D&D was big it wasn’t more than half of the game ran.
And if you look at new games starting, due to D&D tendency to be relatively long campaign, it’s even hard to find a seat at a D&D game because relatively few games starts compared to other games. (And then there is a couple of indie-game one-shots GM, meaning that there is always a slot open for a less known and often weirder game)
Well, consider that D&D spent almost two decades being the only role playing game in America, and just over a decade being the only role playing game everywhere else it got translated to. It got a massive head start. The only reason Pathfinder got so big is because WotC shot themselves in the foot with 4e by trying to get rid of the OGL and pissing off all their customers
Roll20 stats one year showed primarily 5e, but that’s also what it works best with (in my opinion), and I think general sentiment has changed for d&d generally. My group started with 5e, but we haven’t really played it much recently. My first group we never did d&d, though started and never finished multiple. So I don’t think so, but it’s one of the more popularized options.
No, actually, but general cultural awareness is really only those two, and maybe iffy on Pathfinder, and given the popularity of Stranger Things, D&D had a lot of mainstream attention, and Pathfinder is arguably a better place to start for newbies interested due to Stranger Things. As far as I understand. I’ve never actually played either D&D or Pathfinder, but I have been in Vampire the Masquerade and Serenity tabletop groups.
I’m being a little lazy - I made this about 18 months ago after a conversation in one shop. A couple of days ago in a different shop the “alternative” mentioned was Dungeon Crawl Classics. As far as I’m concerned, D&D with the serial numbers filed off is still D&D.
I mean DCC & 5e are very different.
D&D with the serial numbers filed off is still D&D.
