    I was wondering if there are any TTRPG gamers.....
    Man, I miss Star Frontiers. I still play, but mostly oddball rpgs, and just joined a PbP game of AD&D1e.
    Star Frontiers was one of my favorite settings. Right up there with Paranoia, which is just an incredible game entirely.
    "Oh bother," said Pooh, as he chambered another round.

    I don't do mailruns that often, so I don't know if I responded to the
    OP or not - I am, though not as much as I'd like. And I rarely get
    to play 'in person.'

    I do meet up via Google with my three high school buddies for a
    session infrequently - just because we can't all get clear
    schedules... I ran an FFG Star Wars game for years that way - currently
    we are playing Spirit of 77...

    Not as much as I used to, mainly because the shine has come off of D&D 5/e for me recently. The mechanics just feel... Bleh. :(

    I've also previously played D&D 3.5/e (for which I
    homebrewed the main species of my soft sf/science fantasy worldbuilding project) and a little bit of BESM over forum (because the fanbase of a webcomic I read was really into it).

    I'm also interested in L5R, Classic Traveller (after I found a starter set at a local rummage sale), Coyote & Crow, and I had just remembered others, but now I forgot them. :(

    TBH, most of my tabletop gaming energy of late has gone into BattleTech. Love my plastic toy robots. :P

    Classic Traveller is no longer a favorite of mine, but I have fond
    memories of it. Thankfully you can get pretty much all of it
    digital nowadays...

    Before Covid, X-Wing was my primary game! Started getting into
    Gaslands too, then after Covid no more X-Wing - now it's not
    being developed...

    And Gaslands - I run games using Photoshop on Slack, but nothing
    in person. Only in person gaming is board games on a rare
    occasion...




    ... Alex, I'll take "things that only I know" for $1000.
