    Guess the title sums it up. Just wondering.

    I'm currently finishing a Vampire Masquerade LARP.
    Starting in a Vampire Requim LARP in the new year.

    Do people still play Shadowrun or dare I even say RIFTS :)

    Just the odd game of DnD these days. That and CRPGs like NWN (play on a persistent world in 2 DM run gaming sessions - as close to pnp as you can get really).

    Not sure I know what that is. Is it online role playing.

    Regularly -
    Exalted
    d20 Star Wars
    7th Sea (just started)

    Less frequently -
    Riddle of Steel
    L5R
    GURPS
    D&D
    Feng Shui

    Considering starting an Abyssals Exalted campaign as well, but finding the time is tricky.

    I'm off to continue a 30th level D&D game in about an hour and a half. It's fun, being an Epic doppleganger rogue. The hilarity you can get up to in your own thieves guild when you can read minds and change shape. The best way to run it is a load of intrigue, administration of your followers, and occasionally some really silly and fun big battles. This game is like a fantasy version of Neon Genesis!

    I play GURPS games an awful lot, too, because it's an easy system. In Nomine, WH40K, Wacky Necromancers, the list of settings goes on.

    I play a couple of home made systems as well. The group has a lot of imagination...

    Nice mix of games. Only really get to play table tops at conventions. I take it your all going to warpcon

    Lord knows I am, although damned if I know what to enter. WH40K is tempting me again, but the RPGs are all so shiny and fun, and near the retailors...

    Yup
    CRPG = Computer Role Playing Game
    NWN = Neverwinter Nights

    I play in a small persistent world where the focus is on being as much like PnP (pen and Paper) DnD (dungeons & dragons) as possible. That means that myself and some friends meet up there once or twice a week as a party, meet our DM and play through a campaign. Its a pretty good substitute for real dnd.

    Cool I guess its the way things are moving. Is the DM a server admin or a friend. Sounds pretty cool really. Must get broadband at home.

    Retailers are bad. I tend to horde all my old games. Simply have no more room for another hard back book and the thought of throwing them appalls me.

    The place I play (www.sojourney.net) has only recently come out of beta. Its based in the Forgotten Realms setting and is split into two parts - the Silver Marches and Waterdeep/Undermountain.

    There are 6 DMs so far and all are excellent. I play in two organised sessions with two different DMs. One in Undermountain (faithfully recreated from the original dnd setting) and one on the Silver Marches (currently in Mithril Hall).

    I only got into playing NWN online a few months back when some friends from my old dnd game (which i had to leave because i moved to dublin - boo hiss) asked me to join them online. Now we play in the same party on this server. Tis great fun and you dont even need a broadband connection (although it is of course much nicer to have one) - its not an FPS so pings arent as important.

    At the moment I'm playing in a D&D campaign and an Exalted campaign. I'm kinda involved in a Noblis game that is due to start at some point. I'm still toying with the idea of returning to the cam and playing in the new Requim LARP, but I'm undecided about it.

    Well the Global Vampire just had the end of the world which was fun. Have not made my Requiem character yet. The last LARP lasted 6 years so you have to put a lot of thought into them.

    Have to get broadband so I can start playing some of these online games.

    Aye broadband is very useful when looking at tryng out some of the online games, www.eve-online.com is quite an addictive one...

    Just finished DM'ing a 2 year game of SLA think i need to hang up my DM boots for a while and relax (not counting the boards game im starting back up in the next few days)

    Want to have a go as a player for a while so were starting a game of inomine and most probably vampire in the next few weeks. I think my next game i'll DM will be rifts but im gonna wait for a couple of months.
