What systems and/or campaigns are you currently actually playing? I spend so much time thinking about new systems and reading old ones, and I sometimes forget that playing is actually a part of things.

So, what are you actually playing right now?

I am currently running Curse of Strahd for two of my adult kids and two of their friends.

I am about to start a Mouseguard-like campaign in FUDGE, with my wife and all of my adult kids.

I've been in a bit of a break from running 5e DnD and have been blitzing through some other RPGs mostly as one shots to keep things fresh, honestly they've all been great in their own way:

  • Black Sword Hack (Moorcock/Lieber OSR sword and sorcery)
  • Black Hack (OSR)
  • Mörk Borg (Doom Metal OSR)
  • Mothership (Sci-Fi Horror)
  • Mekton Zeta (Anime Mecha)
  • Age of Sigmar: Soulbound (Heroic Fantasy)

Ooou, how are you liking BSH? I finally received my copy and I've been itching to try it.

On paper, it seems to hit my subjective nail on the head for heroic, yet still mortal characters. Also the magic systems are really neat. I love how uncontrollable they seem. Magic should be scary, even for the wielder.

I have doubts about the perks, though.. There aren't that many, and I'm concerned about characters feeling very samey by top level.

Yeah its a really nice system, combat has a nice flow to it and characters can feel pretty fragile, but also appropriately strong, we'll see with time how the progression holds up but it's been really fun so far, it really catches that Moorcock Sword and Sorcery Itch 👌
