What’s your current game about?

[SID]

I’m curious about the sort of games the people in the forums play these days in GURPS. What kind of campaign are you playing or running? How long have you been doing so?

Running a new medium/high fantasy campaign, characters started at 250pt. Have had 5 sessions so far. Our heroes are trying to unravel a centuries older sundering that saw their part of the world seperated from the rest, wondering about demonic invasion, and learning about bloodlines. Using VTT as everyone is no where near each other, plus, you know, pandemic.

Playing in a post apocalypse/space opera/sci-fi/mix that started a decade ago but was revived a few months ago after years in hibernation. Humanity is the second evolution of an advanced species on Earth, lots of Roman mythology and a few others here and there. Also using VTT for same reasons.

Considering running a Time Travel/IW type campaign, but will be more one shots than traditional continuing arc.

Another person is consideirng running a modern day (ish) spy/spec ops/intel type game, not really fleshed out.

I am running a campaign about the offspring of mythological deities set in a modern world fighting each other for the prize of godhead. It's urban fantasy, but it's more like Highlander meets Battle Royale meets Mythology. I started planning it last year and my first session was on the 17th of May of this year. So about ~6 months or so. This one has really sparked my imagination and I'll be running it for at least another 60 sessions (we try to play weekly).

I currently run two teams with a third gearing up and all are set in the same world. You can read about it here if you want.

I'm setting up for a Weird War II campaign based in India. It's a sequel to RogerBW's Irresponsible and Right, in the same setting, with different characters, starting in 1939.

I'm just now starting up a new campaign, having played the final session of Tapestry, a Bronze Age fantasy campaign with animistic magic.

Fronteira is set in Pavonis Portal, one of the four example cities of GURPS City Stats. It's culturally Brazilian, but it's the Brazil of an alternate timeline from GURPS Alternate Earths, Shikaku-Mon, some centuries in the future from the published setting; the world's great powers are Brazil, France, Japan, and Russia (Sweden, one of the four great powers of the published setting, has fallen behind as a result of the economic burden of excessive militarization). The Brazilian Empire is constitutionally a monarchy (in GURPS terms, a Dictatorship) but is CR1; however, Pavonis Portal is governed by a large corporation, a subsidiary of Construção Orbital, and is CR2 (CR3 on matters of community survival in the lethal Martian environment). Its economy is largely driven by Mars's orbital elevator, and secondarily by an emerging financial sector.

I've been discussing character ideas with the players, and it looks as if some of them are leaning toward being members of a wealthy Pavonis Portal family with investments in a variety of enterprises. We've scheduled character creation for 4 December.

Nordlond DFRPG. But it's on hold for the moment while I learn the system better by actually playing it.

I've been running my first campaign for just over a year. It's set in post-apocalyptic Mongolia, between Tarialan and Tarialan-Sum, sometime between 2200 and 2300ad. A static Banestorm deposits new Arrivals in the same spot at unpredictable intervals, and the timelost PCs are based in the Outpost that grew up around the storm.

For the first year, the main antagonist has been the harsh climate of the area... sometimes hungry wolves, and (very rarely) bandits.

Little do the Arrivals know that the Garou of Lake Baikal mean to keep the human population down to a manageable minimum as in ancient times...

I run a dark and gritty low fantasy game. The campaign takes place in a giant corrupt city, where the players are forced to do grunt work for an unknown person. They do the work they are told at the same time they try to figure out who they work for and what they can do to stop it.

We are about 6 sessions in atm. And the players love the setting so far :)

Playing as agents of the Technocracy in a World of Darkness themed campaign.

Running a Lovecraft influenced monster hunters campaign set in the 1980s.

Planning a space campaign in the early post-FTL era.

I'm planning to run (soonish) a campaign of 1930s ne'er-do-wells lost in a fantasy world.
