Title is self-explanatory. What games do you play, if any? Have any tales from your escapades? Tell me a funny story about what happened in a campaign!

My main games are AD&D (1e & 2e), D&D (3e, 3.5e, & 5e), and Traveller (All editions).

Funny thing?  Maybe when our AD&D party ran through a portal that led to New York's Central Park in the mid-1980s.  The big brute fighter said, "New orc?  Smell like old orc to me . . . old dead orc!").

I've played mostly stuff rooted in DnD3.5/Unearthed Arcana/Pathfinder.

I've also put together my own ruleset mostly drawing on the previous but with changes to make the rules more modular. For example, there's a lot fewer classes and the classes are much more generic, with a lot of the class abilities turned into feats.

Likewise, a lot of the weapon classes have been redone. Weapons like the katana, tachi and Hungarian sabre are all lumped together as 'two-handed sabres and backswords' (for example).

I've been playing a lot of Pathfinder 2E lately! I'm a bit burned out on Dungeons and Dragons admittedly, but my friend recently hosted a new Ravenloft game and I decided to join!

I've also been playing a lot of legacy versions of World of Darkness, think Vampire: the Masquerade and Werewolf: the Apocalypse, but I am looking into joining a Changeling game and I'm very excited for that. :heart:

Mostly AD&D (and B/X), but I've played a few other games: Star Wars (WEG), Call of Cthulhu, Shadowrun, HeroQuest...

Baldur's Gate 1, 2 and 3 are top.

Icewind Dale 1 and 2 are top.

Planescape torment +++

Neverwinter's Nights 1 and 2 - awesome but didn't age well.

Fallout 1 and 2 are still beautiful classics too.


In Fallout 2 I still remember this crashed UFO you can find in a random encounter (with the proper stats), you find there some kind of energy gun with infinite ammo.
