"So what games are people running in your shop?"

I'm prepping a one-shot with Fangelsehala and a longer campaign with Mothership.

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.

We use Roll20 as a VTT, but we all run a zoom meeting at the same time because we live in different states and continents and it's good to see their faces (and their kids and partners). *Shrug* It's a pretty wide range of technology skills and preferences, so we went with the stuff people know best.
-
is that any good now? Know it’s probably changed a lot since the initial latest was released but that initial release looked…. Bad.

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.

My group rotates GMs and systems but within a few months I'll have them doing Gradient Descent.

Can't find that in the Foundry mod store? Is that only for Fabula Ultima or system agnostic?
-
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.

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)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.

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

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.

I'm getting tired of eating Mac and Cheese all the time "have you tried Caccio e Pepe?" It's still pasta and cheese. If someone asked me for something other than dnd to play, I'd imagine they're looking to get out of the tolkein flavored medieval fantasy genre into something different and recommend something like World of Darkness, modern supernatural urban fantasy for political intrigue and melodramatics, or Blades in the Dark, victorian industrial fantasy heists. Not "grittier Tolkien flavored medieval fantasy."
