Battletech has a permanent place in my groups rotation. 1st and 2nd Fridays of the month.
The 2nd and 3rd Fridays are our RPG weeks. We have a long standing rotation, one story sequence per RPG, then tap out and change systems. Before Battletech, one of my players
runs simple campaigns for the people who trickle in early for our Battletech group(he is running Robotech right now, Babylon 5 is next up in his rotation), and before RPG nights, he
runs the OLD TSR Marvel Superheroes game.

Actively playing?
DND, Battletech, L5R CCG, Malifaux, a variety of board games.

I have a whole shelf FULL of games I never play, too.

The home of the brave and the free,
The shrine of each patriot's devotion,
A world offers homage to thee"

I'm not familiar with that one. What's it all about?

Ah, yes.

It's a homebrew fantasy setting.  Imagine a theocratically ruled state with viking-style technology.  Priests can perform miracles; Carls lead bands of men against Trolls; minions of the dark gods and heretics; the Hierarchs, Bishops and Cardinals plot and politick for the next Archpriest.

Currently the PCs are a cat-burglar, a disowned noble, a 'gipsy' almost-mystic and a war veteran.

Ooh, the web page is still there:

... L5R CCG ...
As a fan of the d20 RPG, I've always been curious about what the CCG for Legend of the Five Rings is like. Details?

I started with a bit of DND, but moved on to enjoy Battletech.  I'd played the Mechwarrior games and read the books, so I enjoyed the tabletop game as well.  I've done a bit of A Sky Full of Ships, a generic, fast-play space combat game, as well as General Quarters 2 and Aerodrome.  I also do a lot of Risk.

Most of my gaming is not with tabletop minis and dice, though.  I play Distant Guns and Jutland, computer games set during the Russo-Japanese War and the First World War.  There is a great campaign for both, and a small group that plays multi-player matches every weekend.

The mainstay of my gaming is model warship combat.  It involves building 1/144 scale model battleship, equipping them with BB guns, motors, and radio, and fighting other models so equipped.  It combines my passion for building with my passion for gaming and history.  As one of the younger and more fit members, I recover the sunken models afterward, which is kinda like wreck-diving on the cheap.

THat is so much fun! There's an old clay quarry nearby which got 'converted' into a small lake. A club used to do this here; they also did things like RC tug challenges, having to tow a barge through a series of 'gates'. But the real fun was watching the warship clashes!

Unfortunately this was about 15 years ago, and they've sinced moved on/given up/died ...

That is the awesomest hobby ever created. Its existence justifies the human race. Yes, all of it, even the jerks and idiots. Yes, it's THAT awesome.
...because that battleship's...well...FLYING.

I'm actively playing:  Warhammer 40K.  And getting my butt kicked on a regular basis, but it's fun to see the nice miniatures on a tabletop.

I want to start playing Battletech again.  I've been buying up used FASA goods like mad on eBay.  I have no interest in the Dark Age era and frankly the less said about the Clans the better, but...

I've played Avalon Hill games in the past.  I also played Axis & Allies and PTO and ETO.

Looking forward to Dystopian Wars, but judging from another thread the rules are not that great...a pity really.  I was hoping they would tide me over until Leviathans.
