Whether it’s the lack of players locally (a common theme in this blog post) or just that the rules for the game are a bit of a barrier to entry (it's not a simple game to learn) something is holding me back and I can't really see me playing much of L5R in the future. Unfortunately, although I have tried to learn the rules and get to grips with the game a couple of times, I am just not being drawn into playing the game. A lot of my gaming friends are big into the original L5R and so I knew I had a group of players on call to show me the ropes. I did, however, purchase the Legend of the Five Rings core set, ready to jump into the game with both feet.

The entire Dunwhich cycle is JUST sitting there ready to be played. You know how I really love Arkham Horror The Card Game, well I haven't played it all in 2017. I'm also not seeing any buzz about this game anymore and although I'm waiting to see what the 2018 tournament scene brings, I am pessimistic that Runewars will last. Around Black Friday time UK retailers were selling the Runewars core set for prices that must have been close to, if not below, wholesale price.

On the plus side I think it is a great fantasy war game but I seem to be alone in this assessment as I can confidently say that at this moment the game has been a flop. I have also dabbled a little with Runewars. This means rather than just grab some ships and fly I need to pull out a plethora of boxes and folders. When I moved late last year, I bundled my entire X-wing collection into a number of boxes and still haven't got round to organising them in a sensible fashion. Of course I would love to play a lot more X-Wing but bizarrely I am being held back by a very badly organised collection. I only played a handful of games over the last twelve months but each game was quick to set up, smooth to play and came down to manoeuvring your ships rather than fancy loadouts. Because playing RPGs seems to be so difficult to arrange I am going to try some Roll20 very soon (hopefully).Įvery time I go back to playing the Star Wars X-wing Miniatures Game, I am reminded just how awesome it is. As seems to be the common problem amongst all RPG groups, the game fell apart due to personal commitments of a number of players but it was fun to get back in the Dungeon Mastering chair and craft a world. For more details about how our report works, you can always look back at our in-depth explanation.Thankfully I have managed to get a few games of Dungeons & Dragons in this year, running a group of adventurers that met via. The report is meant to be a representative sample, and the game listings are curated by Roll20 staff. Our percentages can total more than 100%, particularly Player numbers, since each player will list their interest in multiple games. Player numbers are drawn from the “Enjoys Playing” and “Seeks Group For” sections, while Game numbers come from the “My Campaigns” section. We pull our data from two locations within Roll20 member profiles. And RuneQuest jumped up a few spaces in the running, most likely due to Chaosium’s recent announcement of their new upcoming game, RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha.Ī Quick Note About The Orr Group Industry Report: AEG’s Legend of the Five Rings also saw increased gameplay, which might have something to do with the excitement surrounding Fantasy Flight’s upcoming L5R Living Card Game. This may very well have something to do with the new Rollplay show, Nebula Jazz, which uses the FATE Accelerated ruleset.ĭas Schwarze Auge continues to see improved activity, sneaking past Dragon Age RPG this quarter.
