Yeah, I think if I do end up playing it’ll be the newest version. I have the patience for crunchy systems but most of the people I play with don’t. And the thought of playing anything more complex than 5e with some of them terrifies me.
Star wars FFG and Deadlands. I love the flavor of both. I doubt I’ll ever play star wars, but some of my current groups will probably give deadlands a try.
I’ve got 4 groups.
Groups 1 and 2 are small groups made of friends and we handle everything over text. We do tend to have a lot of “hey, are we playing today?” texts on the day of.
Group 3 started as a work game and has a larger group with less consistency of who shows up week to week. We use discord. Creating events, hosting lore, and places to stash special/homebrew rules is nice.
Group 4 is a west marches-ish game with about 10 players. Discord for that also, though once a group is set for a couple sessions we switch from the discord channel to a group message for communication.
I’ve used Teams in the past as well but I find discord to be better for managing the various things I need to organize a game.
Word. I’m trying to follow CR, watch through Drakkenheim, and start Oxventure. But my Drakkenheim watching has been on pause for two months and I only manage to keep up with the one odd OX games like BitD and Deadlands.
