I posted this on reddit but figured I should post here as well.
For me, I'm thinking about running a Curse of Strahd campaign at some point - maybe starting in February or March if I'm not too busy. If not, I might branch out and run a Starfinder AP.
My last campaign that I ran was Fallout 2d20 and that went very well.

Happy New Year to you to.
Currently running Rime of the Frostmaiden. Later I'll need to have a look at Daggerheart when it comes out since Dominic says I should :)

Deadlands Dark Ages (new release from Pinnacle, hopefully soon here on FGU). Its 877 England with some nice weirdness added in. I had not realized how close England was to just being a part of Denmark at that point - so some history learning for me as well.

I have learned so much history from roleplaying games.

Happy New years all. The Campaigns i am going to be running this year are Return of the Runelords - Pathfinder 1e (starting in 2-3 weeks), Carrying on my Abomination vaults Pathfinder 2e campaign, and either a traveller 2e or Shadowrun 5e campaign once Runelords is done. Not sure what i will be running when Abomination vaults is done though (Maybe Star wars or Against the darkmaster).
Have a good year all!

Happy New Year!
No new campaigns for me. Just a continuation of the FrontierSpace one I'm running. Which I'm enjoying have a very open setting that doesn't have tons of existing lore. I never felt constrained by the lore of setting like Forgotten Realms etc until I stepped away to something so open.
And the Cyberpunk Red I'm a player in. As long as that campaign lives I want to play in it. Really enjoying the Night City setting, it's my first CP game. Perhaps this too is a lot about learning a setting that is new to me. I've always enjoyed the genre, but have never RGP'd in it before and there is tons to learn!

Shadowdark!!
Sapphire Seas. A full length campaign third party product that no one has ever heard of, yet it is one of the best written campaigns I have ever seen in 15 years of running games.

Happy New Year!
Currently continuing Dungeon of the Mad Mage and just started Quests of the Infinite Staircase back in October. Planning on running Phandelver and the Shattered Obelisk here in January. Happy gaming all!

Happy New Year!
No new campaigns planned, continuing to run:
Starfinder 2E - Guilt of the Grave World (5 session in) - face-to-face, but using FG for data, NPCs, Init tracking, and maps on a TV laid on the table.
Pathfinder 2E - Kingmaker (20+ sessions so far) using FG.
Pathfinder 2E - Monte Cook's Ptolus (6 session in) - face-to-face, but using FG for data and maps on a TV laid on the table.
I'd love to run a Caverns of Thracia campaign using PF2, but I'm already feeling a bit maxed out with the current three campaigns I'm running...

I plan on having another 49 or so sessions in our 2e campaign. A total of 1,569 sessions through the end of 2025 so far.
My Traveller play by post game is going well, I plan on adding in two to five more players there in 2026. Ping me for an invite, looking for players new to Traveller and or Roleplaying overall.

Thought I'd chime in as well, as it's interesting to hear what everyone is playing these days.
For me, it's business as usual running (and now playing in) all 5e 2024 campaigns:
Continuing to run my primary campaign, based on the Tomb of Annihilation adventure. The characters are past the main story arc (currently at level 12), but continuing on, hopefully to level 20, using the D&D Adventure League Season 7 level 13 - 18 content and a few modifications of mine to stretch it to 20, perhaps culminating in a "Return to the Tomb of Horrors"-inspired finale.
Continuing to run my primary backup campaign based on the Dragon of Icespire Keep, Storm Lord’s Wrath, Sleeping Dragon’s Wake, and Divine Contention series of adventures (currently at level 8).
I expect to resume my campaign based on the classic Greyhawk series of adventures, G1-G3 (Against the Giants) and D1-Q1 (Queen of Spiders). This campaign is currently on hiatus, as I needed a break while waiting for the revised 2024 drow and Greyhawk content before continue the campaign development (currently at level 16).
I also expect to resume my campaign, based on the Tyranny of Dragons story arc when one of the above campaigns is concluded. This campaign is also beyond the main story line at level 15, and paused while I decide where to go from here.
Lastly, as a forever DM who started playing D&D in 1979 (!), I'll also get to continue playing in a 5e 2024 campaign based in a Mythic Greece setting. This is the first opportunity I've had to play 5e as a player, and I'm excited to continue doing so as long as the DM is interested (currently at level 2).
I have a lot of player overlap between the above campaigns, so the players from the suspended campaigns are all playing in one or more of the other active campaigns.

Happy New Year! We will start playing Traveller in March. And of course, always, Call of Cthulhu. Not to forget Alien (hoping to see the new Free League campaign on FGU...), and Blade Runner. And also, probably, Lex Arcana.

Playing: Currently 5e Obojima: Tales from the Tall Grass and Curse of Strahd.
Running: Nearing the end of my Odyssey of the Dragonlords campaign, which started in November 2022. After that, I hope to run either a campaign based on Shadowdark Cursed Scroll #2, or possibly Dragonbane (the latter would have to be in Foundry, sadly). Unless my players really want to stick to 5e, in which case I don't know what I'll run. Maybe I'll try homebrewing.

Planning to do Tomb of Iuchiban for Adventures of Rokugan. It builds from the 5e ruleset so has been fairly straightforward to set up. Time consuming part has been maps however hoping to have it up and running February.

I’m going to run a SWADE campaign set in Sakrynia: Land of Tears, my own sword‑and‑sorcery setting, and another campaign of Savage 2077, a SWADE adaptation of Cyberpunk 2077.

Bit late to the party but:
Running Vaesen for my Wednesday group, Savage Worlds Legend of Ghost Mountain for my Thursday group.
Then going back to a shared-world SWADE homebrew for a while (it's a sci-fi-with-magic setting where the high-tech people are investigating and trying to figure out how the magic system works in a lower-tech world).
For my monthly in-person weekends we are doing Mutant Year Zero, dropping in and out of the "extra" settings as the main characters meet new people - so last year we finished playing through Elysium as the main Zone group encountered non-mutant humans. We alternate that with Dragonbane when we're down a couple of players from the main game. We've gone through the boxed set campaign and are on to Path of Glory now.
Sundays we are playing Dark Crystal, converted to SWADE. I actually get to play that one!
I'm also putting together a Shadowdark campaign, will be playtesting with my Wednesday and Thursday groups. If it goes well the intention is to run it West Marches style as a "reunion" for the Birmingham University Treasure Trap roleplaying society - we've got 30+ prospective players for that and trying to reclaim something of the feeling we had when we did live roleplaying every weekend at Uni. I hope to get other GM's involved but am doing the heavy lifting to get it started. I really want to run some proper OSR stuff this year.
Hopefully I'll get to play some Deadlands this year, we're eyeing up Carnage in the Cascades and Dark Ages. I've been playing Shadowdark to get my eye in with various one-shot and pick-up online groups too. One of my players is a big Cosmere fan and we're hoping she'll run it for us at some point too.
Really like the look of Dolmenwood and/or Forbidden Lands - I really want to try an old-school hex crawl again this year too.
Now all I need is some time to sleep and I'll be right on all of this, honest...
Cheers, Hywel
