What sort of campaign are you all running?

My group managed to have a party wipe happen, so now we all voted on the next idea and such. We are going to do a "Holy War/Crusade" Type of campaign. The whole party is comprised of dwarves from the Holyhammer clan. I can definitely say things should be interesting, considering they are all brothers. The main rules were that everyone had to be a dwarf and be either paladin or a cleric. My character is the 'runt' of the litter. Out of 9 Dwarves, he is the shortest, lightest and oldest of the bunch. ((We did the random age and height/weight rolls.))
Characters
-Moriarcis: Lvl 20 Necromancer
-Ordethus: Lvl 20 (21) Telepath Warlock/Alienist
-Orionis: Lvl 8 Dirge of Tiamat
-Zaed Nahalis: Lvl 28 Hextorite Blademaster
-Skor Addamar: Lvl 22 Ex-Collector
-Ven: Lvl 9 (10) Old School Assassin
-Vai'aian: Lvl 18 (20) Zerth Monk

I'm running a homebrew campaign in the FR unapproachable east, a small journey to Sigil was also done in the middle before returning for the final. I do use pathfinder ruleset.

Otherwise I'm tempted to run a few Cthulhus soon, our group got also recently interested in this game : http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/117661...dows-of-esteren We actually met it's designers in a Con.

Homebrew World I've been running since 1991. 3.5 ruleset, lots of houserules tweaks. Not overly fond of miniatures use or over use of combat maps, most of my players are the type that likes to imagine the combat happening alot more dramatically than a bunch of lead mini's hobbling over a grid, but occasionally we use for complex combats.

Being able to claim AOO's and rulelawyer things seemed to be the primary out come of 3.0 and 3.5 going over to a visual dependance on rules about things like attacks of opportunity, reach and the like. :( I find that focus often detracts from story, even if some players put up with it and others relish the chance to get extra attacks or use neat powers because the dm moved bad guys through some arbitrary threat zone of this or that spiked chain weilding player.

yeah that is basically how we play. House rules, completely custom setting.

I'm running a game inspired by the Icewind Dale games set in a homebrew setting. I've been avoiding railroading the party, but of course they managed to discover that all the goblin clans, orc clans, trolls, giants, and other such monsters have joined together to form a massive army WAY before I hoped they'd figure it out.

On the bright side, one of them accidentally put on an amulet of gender-bending disguise as a +1 to all saves amulet. Sucker!
An exercise in lack of restraint:

So first day of the new campaign. Ghouls love nomming on my paladin. Hooray for immunity to disease/+10 to fort save. My group doesn't use the point buy system, we actually roll them. After ability mods from gold dwarf, the stats are 18 STR ::: 14 DEX ::: 18 CON ::: 14 INT ::: 14 WIS ::: 18 Charisma.

I run a PnP Group on skype.

My campaign is a mix of Faerun/Homebrew things under the Pathfinder Ruleset and some house rule tweaks and additions.

Ah....and don't annoy the Incarnate Construct Iron Golem xD....bad things will happen. One of the group members decided to be aggressive and well insulting to the incarnate construct aaaand that made him get falcon punched off a mountain by the golem. Lurve the Awsome Blow Feat

So I was running my campaign on saturday and the party decided to split up in the dungeon. lol I was waiting for them to trigger the trap that drops the door between them. But anyway, one group gets jumped by 4 ghouls. The group's all lvl 1 at this point, though they're pretty tough. The DM rolls his to-hit d20s for one of the ghouls attacking the wizard. lol It had to've been the luckiest damn DM roll. Three hits - claw, claw, bite - First claw 20-crit, next claw regular hit, bite 20-crit. Needless to say he was down. They managed to get him back to 0 hp (unconcious), and down he stayed until they could get the party back together for the cleric to patch him up. Was an awesome roll! Dude was pissed. lol

I'm currently not doing any PnP right now, not because I don't want to, but because I don't have a group. I did get to listen to a good game a few days ago. It got my blood pumping, hehe. Thx for allowing me to stay, y'all know who you are.

I've attempted to run several PBMB (Play by Messageboard) games but they failed. Mainly due to people suddenly disappearing and all. I'd do it again if I knew the players were dedicated.
