Post your RPG Resume

I read a dnd book when I was little
neverI have no friends
zero time
if they did happen, they'd have been high fantasy
none that I can think of

>first RPG you ever played
That was Dark Heresy. Not the greatest place to start, especially since I hadn't heard of the setting before that (and that we started, but thankfully didn't end with, like 9 people). Despite the rockiness, I couldn't stop. But I will never think the name Simon Kerman for my Psyker is not funny, even if no one else caught on.

>all the campaigns you can remember
Dark Heresy, D&D cults and things, Awful Shadowrun, D&D Silly campaign, Horrific Pokemon Tabletop Adventures, Pathfinder, Better Shadowrun, and finally "Really Long Magnum Opus Shadowrun" alongside "AdEva, Everything Is Horrible And I Can't Stop Loving It".
There was a smattering of D&D 4e, Pathfinder, and Shadowrun campaigns (and 1 Dark Heresy) inbetween that either didn't pan out or were very short and not worth mentioning.

>how long they were
The majority of my games were 30ish weeks because my college has 3 10-week quarters for a school year, and we met once a week. More or less happened based on holidays. At first, only the Pokemon one lasted over a year, but I have since graduated and have learned being an adult can make really huge delays, so the last two campaigns are just over a year with RLMO Shadowrun being finally over recently. The rest were pretty much over the summer.

>what genre and what system/rules
Me and my playgroup have sort of pushed ourselves away from combat-oriented games of late, such as Pathfinder and D&D and so on because we tend to take a less combat-based approach for most things. Shadowrun is pretty good for that, at least with all the indirectness it tries to offer.
Also, I'm one about two guys to dm, and Ho boy do I love Shadowrun so that's what we play.

>any other RPG related accomplishments or projects of yours
I like to think I've gotten to be Not Shit at dming and writing. And I even have a great idea for my next campaign.
The tagline is: Reality is the finest flesh, oh bearer mine. Shall we not feast?

I have this goal of playing 100 roleplaying games. Here's what I've played so far:

OD&D
Moldvay Basic
AD&D 1st edition
AD&D 2nd edition
D&D 3.5
D&D 4E
D&D 5th edition (playtest)
Call of Cthulhu
GURPS
Vampire: the Masquerade
Werewolf: the Apocalypse
Hollow Earth Expedition
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 3rd edition
Marvel Heroic Roleplaying
Legend of the Five Rings
Deathwatch
Rogue Trader
Dark Heresy
Iron Kingdoms
Dragon Age
Night's Black Agents
Unknown Armies
Apocalypse World
Dungeon World
Burning Wheel
Eclipse Phase
Star Wars d20
Nova Praxis
Shadowrun 4E
Diaspora
Dogs in the Vineyard
Burning Wheel
Mouse
Microscope
Ghost/Echo
Traveler
Paranoia
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness
Happy Birthday Robot

Most of those were one-shots though.

AD&D 1st edition was the first RPG I've ever played.

> first RPG you ever played
Hunter: The Reckoning. But it was short
> all the campaigns you can remember
Hunter, Vampire, Mage (all CWoD), VtM20th, Pathfinder, D&D 5e, my own system.
> how long they were
Non-vampire RPs lasted less than a month for me. Pathfinder is the one exception because we only met twice a month so it was more around 8 sessions. Vampire (all) lasted at least 3 months, with the longest running one being a year with various players changing in and out.
> what genre and what system/rules
Usually horror/gothic/gloom and I guess with Storyteller being the most prominent.
> any other RPG related accomplishments or projects of yours
Most of the RPGs I play these days are my own because I need to work out the kinks. I have a few I can detail here:

>Revenant: Age of Dusk
Gloom-mood with Demon's Souls inspirational setting and its own custom mythology. Features reincarnation, exploring a unique world and fucky landscape (KD:M style) and unique magic system with a strategic combat system. Under construction and huge.

>Martial Artist: Typhoon of Clans
A 24-hr RPG made for Veeky Forums which gets posted from time to time. It's generic but has an eastern martial arts theme with strategic grid-based combat. The dice roll on various tables which the player can customize, instead of having numerical stats. Adding more entries to tables generally makes characters better at one thing but worse at others. Uses d8.

>Pandaemonium the Demon City
A DOOM-inspired demon-killing futuristic game. You hop through hellscape planes much like Mehrunes Dagon's plane of destruction, finding energy weapons/mundane weapons from the mars colonies that were swallowed by rifts. The game has a very Descent-like die system for weapons, also with skill-tables like Martial Artist. The dice are customizable by "buying" faces with experience, which gives DOOM/Descent-like ice face changes for combat. Currently under construction.

>39% of the way there!
If you include editions

>> first RPG you ever played
D&D 2E

>> all the campaigns you can remember

D&D2E as player. Traditional Fantasy.

D&D2E expanding on the world of the last game as a DM and adding in some elements of the old Conan Comics and the like.

D&D2E a new world/campaign as a player, Barbarian/Tribal campaign.

D&D2E DMing a new world/campaign entirely with a new group. Traditional Fantrasy with some quirks.

Mekton Zeta as player in a Mobile Suit Gundam game, we were Zeon grunts.

D&D 5E as a player. Traditional fantasy, with some quirks.

GURPS Campaign as a player. Paranormal Investigation.

Mekton Zeta as a player, same MZ group as before, but a new campaign. We played a very late UC campaign, far later than Victory Gundam, something meant to be Proto Turn-A Gundam through the usage of nanomachines.

Mekton Zeta/Cyberpunk 2020 Fusion as GM. My attempt to GM as if I were Shirow Masamune writing Appleseed and Ghost in the Shell manga in the late 80s/early 90s.

Straight Cyberpunk 2020 as a GM inspired by Blade Runner and Neuromancer + allot of synth wave.

D&D2E as a player in a Roman-esq campaign.

>>how long they were

Anywhere from 3-4 sessions to 8 months of playing once a week.

>any other RPG related accomplishments or projects of yours

I have a few killer new ideas for a Mekton Zeta campaign. When I have more spare time I will probably flesh it out. I successfully learned how to not railroad while still having lots of content to feed my players, and making their choices count and feel like they have weight in the long run.

>First RPG
Donjon
>Campaigns
How 8 players wanted to rescue a girl from a witch(about 5-6 sessions)
Frog,White hair, The horny hobbit, The red haired waifu and the sjw barbarians dont know what the hell is happening and are travelling through time(18 sessions)
A hobbo, An autistic inquisitor, Prince Dragon wizard hobbit and an edge lord rogue, try to earn money helping sick people(7 sessions)
This one is the longes(1 year): The immortals(the players name about 2/3 of the campaign) try to steal the legendary weapons from OP people and end starting a war between elves and humans
There are some others but this ones are the longest, mostly in dnd 3.5 or 5e

>Genre
All fantasy with the occasional space stuff
>System
5e mostly, but i like 3.5, SW, OSR related, DW, 3:16, Retro Phaze, D6 and lots and lots of systems for one shots
>Rpg accomplishments
I have read 100+ rules of RPGs and started an small community here in my city

The exact details of my TTRPG past are hazy and littered with the remains of one-shots and failures to launch, so I'll try to be concise.

>First RPG
Dungeons and Dragons, 3rd Edition.

>Campaigns
Old-ass 3rd/3.5 campaign from my teens (player; lasted ~3 years, went from 1-20)
Highschool club D&D. Still 3.5 (player; lasted ~1 year before switching gears)
Highschool club Shadowrun 3rd (GM; lasted less than a year before another change of direction)
Afternoon D&D, aka "Audion". Still 3.5 (DM; lasted less than a year before switching gears again)
Weekend Shadowrun 3rd (GM; lasted ~1 year and set the weekend template and "rotational" schedule we use to this day)
Monster Campaign, D&D 3.5 (yes, again. Player; lasted about half a year)
"Droog" Campaign (time travel high fantasy). Used a not-Pathfinder called 'Trailblazer' (player; ran about six months)
Shadowrun 3rd again (player; ran on-and-off for around a year)
Final Fantasy d20 (player; ran about three months? Didn't go over well)
AD&D 2e (player; ran well over 2.5 years. Excellent campaign, this. Pic related)
FLGS Shadowrun 3rd (GM; a good time but went sour)
D&D Next (player; brief playtest? Like a month long?)
AD&D 2e Al-Qadim (DM; ~1 year. A fun one)
Dungeon World (player; ~6 months)
D&D 5e, "The Ultimate Weapon" (DM; ongoing for 1.5+ years. Group favorite)
D&D 5e, "The Change" (player; ongoing for 1+ years. Big hit)
D&D 5e, "Ravenloft" (player; two campaigns back-to-back for 3 months)
FATE, "Do You Even Pose?" (player; ~1 month)
D&D 5e, "Daltanious" (player; short runner)
D&D 5e, "The Chosen Few" (player; another stinker)
Shadowrun 5th (player; short)
D&D 5e, "Tear of the Gods" (N/A; ongoing for 6+ months)
D&D 5e, "Frozen Bunghole" (player; ongoing for 3+ months)
D&D 5e, "Storm King's Thunder" (player; ongoing for 1+ months)

Games planned: The Chosen Few's sequel, Do You Even Pose II and a tropical 5e game. My only other feat: introducing a rotational schedule to fit more games onto the calendar.

> first RPG you ever played
A game made by a friend based on the "black dagger brotherhood" serie.

> all the campaigns you can remember
The first, a chicago chronicles of Vampire, two Warhammer scenario about the invasion of the genovorian, a Sabbath and a Dark age scenario of Vampire, an Anima scenario and I am the GM on a "Schoolgirl RPG" scenario and a homemade RPG.

> how long they were
Well 3 aren't finished, but for now the shortest was 11 months.

> what genre and what system/rules
It depends. I do like a lot the Vampire the mascarade system, but the Anima system comes close, there's just way too much things to take care of in Anima.

> any other RPG related accomplishments or projects of yours
Having the players enjoying the RPG I entirely made myself. It's really something I enjoy to hear my players talking about their actions and how they like my universe.

I think it may be a good idea someday to make a dungeon master book about it, and publish it for free online...

Also I made a lot of game around that and one of them (a card game) have a full scenario with RPG elements in it. It's shitty but I'm really proud.

Is there somewhere I can read that thesis? Sounds interesting.

>> first RPG you ever played
Advanced Dungeons and Dragons

>> all the campaigns you can remember
At least 14 different ones, using 10 different rulesets. Of note was the 40k RPGs, Dnd 1st, 2nd and 4th editions, WoD, Pathfinder.

>> how long they were
Anywhere from several sessions to two and a half years. The longest one was while I was in college.

>> what genre and what system/rules
Mix of fantasy and sci fi

>> any other RPG related accomplishments or projects of yours
Ongoing world-building project for nearly a decade has become the blueprint for a custom made RPG system.
My players constantly want me to GM for them, I don't think I'm that great of a GM but they say otherwise. I pretty much just make minor preparations and then improvise for every game.
My college thesis was on the fallacies of dungeons and dragons in the media. I remember one girl in the room looked horrified when I was giving my presentation.

>45 page thesis
A summary would be nice

>First
Pathfinder
>Campaigns
Pathfinder: underdark adventures, Exploration campaign, a very railroady and heavily houseruled campaign
Dnd 5e: two mostly urban campaigns
Dnd 3.5: One shot that sucked because I only had access to the core book while everyone else had tons of powergaming shit from splatbooks, making me next to useless throughout the whole thing
Shadowrun: Almost happened but the GM dropped out of school right before we could start.
>Other accomplishments
DM'd a long 5e campaign and a one-shot for a bunch of noobs that worked out amazingly

> first RPG you ever played
2e, 3e or 3.5. I have no idea which it was because I was basically handed a character (bard, if I recall) one lunch break in primary school.

> Current campaigns
Kamen Rider game
9 sessions long so far, on hiatus
Using Henshin! Tokusatsu RPG (homebrew) with heavily customised rules

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure game
5 or 6 sessions long so far
Using Bizarre Adventures d10 (homebrew)

> Abandoned
TPK in the First Encounter: The Movie: Attack of the Wolves
1 session
Pathfinder

TPK in the First Encounter 2: The Retcon: Return of the Wolves
2 sessions
Pathfinder

> Other games
A couple of games of Everyone is John
A bunch of shit I've left out while actually learning the hobby
A handful of sessions I didn't GM

> any other RPG related accomplishments
None really. I've barely ever played and I'm pretty trash as a GM honestly. I'm in that lukewarm hell that doesn't really engage players but they insist they enjoy the sessions. They also take hours to get through and never end at a decent cutoff point.

On the negative end I've got a hell of a lot though. For starters, anything even remotely challenging is cause for the players to bring up the wolf incident.

> projects
Mostly personal modifications of systems and a couple of things I want to keep under wraps because they'll probably never get done.

>First RPG
D&D 3.5, I played a dwarf cleric named Gromgar.

>Campaigns
-D&D campaign largely dealing with fighting off an invasion of Drow who were trying to gather fragments of divine power
-Rogue Trader who literally went from rags to riches tries to get even more absurdly rich (GMed)
-Shadowrun where I played an alcoholic medic
>Shadowrun where I played a Russian ex-merc with rocket legs where I shot people with hallucinogen rounds
>Plane-hopping D&D 5e adventure
>5e campaign where we started as slaves, and mostly went around liberating slave encampments. I played a Warforged monk named Clarke. Probably my favorite.
-Rogue Trader where I played a kindly grandpa type priest. A lot of warp-fuckery ensued and our ex-smuggler arch-militant adopted a street kid who turned out to be a stupidly powerful psyker
-JoJo's Bizarre Adventure campaign mostly centered around fighting vampires and their allied stand users (GMed)
-Stars Without Number game where I played an engineer trying to raise enough money to get his family out of their shithole living situation

First RPG I ever played was D&D 4e

There was a D&D 4e campaign I ran for 6 dudes, about 4 sessions. High Fantasy
Another D&D 4e campaign another 4 sessions, here I was a player. High Fantasy
Another D&D 4e campaign 3 sessions, the DM killed everybody by getting multiple wargods involved (we were level 3) Dark Fantasy
Another 3 sessions 4e Campaign DM'd by the same guy who did it last time. Dark Post-Apocalyptic Fantasy

One of my favourite campaigns comes after this, a Riddle of Steel campaign about a group of knights doing knightly shit. I DM'd. 5 sessions. Chivalric Fantasy, very little magic (only a single guy in the whole campaign knew a single spell. He didn't use it though)

A couple of loose Riddle of Steel campaigns with me as a DM 2 sessions A lot more magic was involved

A homebrew sci-fi gunslinger campaign which I made and DM'd 3 sessions or something. Cowboy Bebop esque.

AD&D 2e with the father of a friend as a DM, this was a great classical campaign, I loved it. Five sessions. Classic high fantasy, crawling dungeons and getting loot.

A 3 year gap.

Currently I am DM'ing a Runequest 3 campaign set in Glorantha with two players from the previous group and some new ones. It's a blast, they like it and I am having loads of fun. we are now at 9 sessions. Classic High Fantasy. The players want loot and experience while doing fun things and exploring Glorantha.

Pretty fucking hyped about finally being able to get a campaign going past the two-month mark.

>first RPG

D&D 4th back in high school

>campaigns, how long, and genre

the first D&D 4th game my friend ran - 1 year

D&D 5th game I ran, first time GMing and it was awful - 1 year off and on

Shadowrun 5th - maybe 3-4 sessions

Fantasy Flight Star Wars - 6 months

Another D&D 5th game another friend ran where we all played dragonborn - 4 months

And I'm currently running Storm King's Thunder which has been going on for 3 months

along with a JoJo game using Veeky Forums's Bizarre Adventures d10 rules ~ month and a half

> first RPG you ever played
I think it was Palladium's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for an evening. After that, the first one I majorly got into was D&D, the Red Box edition.

> all the campaigns you can remember
> how long they were
> what genre and what system/rules
For Campaigns I've GM'd for:
AD&D 2nd Edition campaign in HS that lasted for about 5 years.
GURPS Black Ops Campaign for about 2 years.
GURPS Sci-fi for about 6 months.
In Nomine game for about a month.
Vampire: the Masquerade in College for 5-6 months.
GURPS Sci-fi in college for about 3 months.
Honestly, I've done so many 1-2 month or longer campaigns that I can't think of them all off the top of my head. Mainly GURPS and AD&D 2nd Edition. Have a current campaign in D&D 5th, ran in Deadlands, Chosen, Ironclaw, Fate, Katanas & Trenchcoats, In Nomine, a number of freeform RPs, and a homebrew to tabletop Brutal Legend.

> any other RPG related accomplishments or projects of yours

My biggest accomplishment, I feel, is getting a big majority of my friends into tabletopping.
Livestreaming a 6 hour D&D session completely off the top of my head that actually worked well was also pretty sweet.

First RPG was NWN2 if that counts. Otherwise, 3.5
A decade of experience in 3.5. Played a lot of PF, CoC, CthulhuLite, DFRPG and FATE in general, bunch of d20 homebrews...
I made a complete overhaul of FATAL to make it playable. Doing a bit of tweaking right now to make it publishable.

> first RPG you ever played
Shitty homebrew I made up when I was 12, because D&D was "satanic". I forced my little brothers to play with me. Good times.
> all the campaigns you can remember
Generic fantasy game. I was 14, brother was 9, other brother was 7. No real plot.
16, switched over to GURPS. Homebrewed a setting where dinosaurs still roamed the Earth and shit and people dug magic rocks out of the ground to get superpowers
After that a 5e campaign with our neighbors. Had my first TPK.
Now I'm in a new 5e campaign, same players. We've been going for about two years now.
