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.

I'm playing in a Curse of Strahd game right now. I had actually bought the module some months ago and it's sheer luck that I didn't get around to reading it before my Sunday GM decided to run it. All I know is it has a big reputation as a celebrated module, so we'll see 🤷

I'm also running a D&D 5e game set in my own homebrew setting & story. I'm basically trying to cram as much occult mystery, political intrigue, and high society manners and drama as I can into it, but I'm leaving myself open to the prospect D&D simply might not be cut out as a system for what I'm interested in. So I might be forced to transition to something else eventually, but so far so good for the most part. I've had more than a few sessions already without any combat, and I know I'm a bit over the skis of the rules at that point, but players seem to be enjoying it; and ChatGPT has been a godsend with helping me patch together loose plot threads and brainstorm explanations such as e.g. why there's a dungeon full of gelatinous cubes beneath the count's country estate.
