My Campaigns

Current RPG campaigns:

RPG

Die Wilde Gestade. I play in an AD&D-based multi-referee campaign in German, and I run a section on the Wild Coast, and Arden Vul, all on Discord (2022–now).
Montag in Zürich. What started as an attempt to revive the one-shot Mondays from 2009–2015 ended up being a multi-language, multi-referee campaign with me running Stonehell and a hex-crawl, phf running Barrowmaze, and frotz running a hex-crawl (2022–now).
Glimmermark. Smaug runs Dyson‘s Delve for us, using Labyrinth Lord, on Discord (2024).

Past campaigns:

Octagon. I played in a *Traveller 5* game with Referee Wanderer Bill, more or less biweekly, 100% remote, with Discord and Roll20 (2021–2022).
Die dampfenden Dschungel von Chult: I played in a D&D 5 game with DM Peter, with no regular dates (2020-2022).
Der Fluch des Stradh: I played in a D&D 5 game with DM Mircea, with no regular dates (2021–2022). It’s the COVID-19 pandemic, with home office and lockdowns…
Barrowcleft. A very short *Blades in the Dark* campaign (2021) with just two players and a GM that fizzled out due to scheduling problems. All remote, but with GM Jörg whom my wife and I know from the before times.

At this point I wrote a long post with some lessons learned from all the gaming.

lessons learned

Tau Subsector. I ran a *Classic Traveller* game, with no regular dates (2021), more or less weekly. It was the COVID-19 pandemic, with home office and lock-downs, and everything remote.
Die Zeit der Waldbrände. I played in a biweekly *Humblewood* campaign using D&D 5 with DM Lars (2020–2021), more or less weekly. I liked playing a rogue. When I play with my power gamer friends, I’m the least interested in rules. In this game full of casual players, I was the rules person. How strange.
Die drei Wälder – I am running a game of Just Halberds, with no regular dates (2020).
Rasiermesserküste – ran a Halberds and Helmets game using *Razor Coast* on every second Wednesday (2017–2020)

Greyheim – I ran a *Labyrinth Lord* game around *The Castle of the Mad Archmage* (a megadungeon) on every second Wednesdays (2015–2018)
Wilderlande – I ran a *Labyrinth Lord* campaign set in a *Points of Light* campaign setting for my best friend and his three kids for two hours on a Friday evening every four weeks (2010–2018)
Fünf Winde – I ran a *Labyrinth Lord* game set in the *Wilderlands of High Fantasy* with a big dash of *Planescape* and *Spelljammer* on every second Tuesdays (2010–2017)

Kurobano and the Dragons – I ran a *D&D 3.5* campaign after a *long* hiatus (2006–2008); Attaxa contains some of my campaign notes
I ran some adventures of my own devising in high school when I was fifteen and sixteen. We used *Das Schwarze Auge* at first, switched to *AD&D 1st ed.* and then to *AD&D 2nd ed.*; we still had no concept of a “campaign” – we stopped buying *Das Schwarze Auge* modules and we didn’t buy TSR modules, we just wrote our own and played them one after another (1988-1989)
I got *Das Schwarze Auge* from my mom and ran some modules for her and her friends when I must have been around twelve. (1985)
