We play a wide range of games, usually on a rotation; spending three to five weeks of time on one before moving onto another. This suits us pretty well and gives us the chance to try lots of different things without getting bogged down in one game.
The whole group plays on Saturdays and Matt and Nick also game on Wednesday nights with other friends.
Currently being played (27 May 2003)
3e Dungeons & Dragons (DMed by Edd)
We are currently in Freeport and caught in the middle of a conspiracy
with shape-changing serpents, assassins and the plans to build a lighthouse
with mystical powers. Everyone seems to want us dead and we just don't
know who to trust. All in all, its not looking good...
Other Games
AD&D Forgotten Realms
Its in it's 13th year and still going. With a strong emphasis on
'role'-playing over 'roll'-playing, the characters are currently mid-level
and involved in the middle of their longest and last campaign. The PCs
have passed through a magical gateway in the heart of the Darkwatch on
the pursuit of eight (count 'em!) Drow Arch Mages. They must stop the
Drow from using the Legacy of Scrinshee, but perhaps they have already
failed!

D&D 3rd Edition
The PCs are in Freeport trying to work out who the enemy is!

Shadowrun
We're years behind fasa (2053 to be precise) and I can't ever see us catching
up, but no-one seems to care.
It looks like we're making the migration to the 3rd Edition rules, with
a few changes.
It would seem that the runners have been a catspawn (possibly of Saeder
Krupp) after they have been sent into the Shasta Mountains to find a rogue
reporter, now joined up with TerraFirst!

TORG
We're been playing this one since 1990 and we're always caught in the
thick of the action. Latest credit? The Holy Grail!! What
a fight! We nearly saw the return of our Arch enemy Wu Han, and Chojin,
the Rauru Block agent, is betrayed and dies, plunging into the see. His
body had not been found. Wu Hans daughter Lei Ling Ling has joined the
knights to fight evil after the death of her 'beloved'

Marvel Superheroes
Mutant streetfighter Blackstaff, mystics Whitefire and The Blue Enchantress
and martial arts mistress Jade Dragon are the all-female superteam The
Valkeries. Together they battle superpowered crooks and supernatural creatures
on the mean streets of Hells-Kitchen while at the same time dealing with
the complexities of life in New York. After much effort our heroines have
recovered a book of magic from Chinese mobsters but not before it was
used to resurrect Fu Manchu!
GMed by Nick
Castle Falkenstein
Very much a 'roleplaying' game and lots of good fun. We have encountered
the young Moriarty, but dare with expose him? Well at least we foiled
his plot to steal the Gold from the Bank of England!

Wednesday Nights
Matt and Nick play RPGs on Wednesdays nights as well. There is now a website dedicated to the explosive gaming that takes place. Check out Random Destruction for the gory details.
