I'm curious. If so, what game(s)? How often?
  

A half-dozen boss Vaulties donated generously with real money to my classroom during a fundraiser in May 2015 to get poor kids books to read. I won't forget that. They know who they are, and they freaking rule.

I was just talking to a couple of my old DnD peeps!  We thought about trying to get the ol' gang back together, but we're just too spread out nowadays, and it would be really tough to find a good time for everyone.

I play a few tabletop and DVD games with the family from time to time: Scene It, Pandemic, Monopoly, that sort of thing.

I started reading the book "Of Dice and Men" about D&D, and it re-inspired me.

Every second week online tabletop with my friends (via maptools or roll20.net). We are now at The Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, My character is an atheistic abusing Wizzard that would fight against any religion, EVEN the evil ones!

If possible, we meet once a year for a weekend for tabletop, but the last three years was not possible for me (always some troubles and that my friends are douches and cannot plan something with some months time for me)

My wife and I play via Skype with our old gaming groups from back east. One group meets every Sunday night and the other group meets every other Saturday night.

Both groups play Pathfinder these days btw. 4th edition D&D was never even considered by either group.

I've been playing Shadowrun 3.0 for almost 10 years with a few buddies from school.

There have been several longer breaks, but we still meet at the same place, and we still play the same characters.

It all depends on everybodies schedule, but usually we manage to meet about 5 - 10 times over a year.

We are playing D&D 3.0, and it sucks quite a bit. The GM doesn´t want to do 3.5 as the Module is 3.0 and he rightly says "if you want to play 3.5, I fully understand, you can take my place as GM". But nobody wants to GM.

Playing DnD 3.5. We try to meet once a week... But realistically, it's usually once per month, because we're old farts around 35, got kids and jobs. Though we have managed already 2 sessions in January, last yesterday.

We usually have at least two adventures in parallel, so that when one GM cannot make it, we can play the other's adventure.

I am running the E6 variant, Eberron-based but all rulebooks allowed (anything goes, within reason).
Friend is running a rather strict Core+Eberron.

Every other week, running 3.5.  After the current campaign wraps up we plan to run a homebrew DBZ campaign.  Great system, mostly based off of a percentile.

As we are men, our brain is our penis. We share a penis, Arkat. Deal with it.

I played Hackmaster Basic online a few years ago using Maptools and Teamspeak. We played every Monday night (for the U.S. players), but the GM lived in England, and would get up at 5 AM each week to run the game. We also had a website and could earn bonus XP by writing an in-character summary of each session. It really was a lot of fun, but I ended up moving back to Cali and wasn't able to play anymore at the time. I would love to try it again.

Rolemaster, Irregularly.

( Friends having young Kobolds and all. not easy to get a game organized )

Edit : I'm one of the regulars at the ICE Boards, and I'm guilty of proofreading the Shadow World Player Guide, so I'm really far down the RM Hole.

Oh and DBZ is so has been...
Just watched Saint Seya Omega thurdsay evening ( big first on TV ) and the chara design is so gay....
That's just in the mood for Froggy Land with the Marriage pour Tous .
