It’s in the title! What’s your current campaign or setting you’ve been playing in recently?

I’ll start:

I’ve been running a homebrew game that’s gone all over the place over the years. My group fought a doppleganger invasion, overthrew a local oppressive government, battled with a devil cult, and many more odd ball adventures.

Recently after one party member drew the Moon from the Deck of Many things and wished to become “God Emperor” I decided to overhaul the world as a space themed adventure. The party is now playing in an alternate reality where the party member who made the wish is now Emperor but the party’s old characters, twisted by some evil magic, are now working against them to bring down the empire.

    A homebrew pirate themed campaign. The party got their own ship, and are trying to overthrow The Honourable Southern Islands Company, a mercent company who are the de facto rulers of The Southern Isles, who are bleeding the local populace dry while letting the starve. The party aim of starting a pirate republic. I use a lot of real history from the golden age of piracy, as well as every pirate and maritime trope I can fit in there. Tone of the campaign is chaos and silliness, but with epic shit happening. Its great fun!

      I also homebrewed a tropical pirate-themed campaign! The party currently got duped into aiding a lesser noble steal an ancient artifact and have fallen in with a pirate fleet. They’re all various alignments of Good, so this is not where they want to be, but if they play their cards right, could potentially destroy the fleet and make off with a ship of their own.

      Also trying to incorporate a lot of “realistic” elements from the Age of Sail, but a bit more of a serious campaign with some general shenanigans.
