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.

Running a Blades in the Dark game those playdates where the GM isn't available. A buch of small heists with little to no overarching development. I mean we play a few sessions every three months or so. It is the filler game.

Planning to do some one-shots of Panic! at the Dojo after hearing about it. With no character advancement (so I've heard) it sound like a great one-shot system. The dicerolling sounds fun and I do enjoy the easy access of Jackie Chan movies.

Working on (probably) an Ironsworn: Starforged: Sundered Isles set a couple of centuries after the catastrophic fall of the Eternal Empire. In short the last Eternal Emperor, the personification of the Red Moon goddess, tried to usurp the power of the Red Moon causing it to fall in the event known as the Moonfall shattering the central bureaucracy of the empire. And with that gone the empire fell apart within a generation. The immediate story draws inspiration from the Saga of Hervor and Heidrek (Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks). Especially the part of Hervor travelling to where her father and uncles were slain in a failed holmgång, reclaiming the sword Tyrfing and getting her aett cursed. And now that curse is upon the aett. Will hopefully be some good stuff.

Playing a tesmpest cleric in a DnD5e campaign where a demon-goblin horde is ravaging the land. The demon lord is Azeroth and is cold themed so plenty of Warcraft and the Frozen Throne memeing. Begun leaning a bit towards the surfer boy wanting to do good stuff and have transformed him into a smite first ask questions later kind of guy. And a if you are not fully with us against the horde of chaos you are against us. He is becoming a fanatic. Great suff.

Also in a Burning Wheel campaign where a play an engineer just wanting to do her day job, get reestablished in the city and possibly reconnect with her estranged daughter. Currently very stressed and very tired. The character doesn't want to do "adventuring" stuff but me the player make sure she get into the action. Love playing the mom of the group.
