Last night played Triumphant! with my character Earwig (a speedy wallcrawling burrower with slashing claws) and the rest of the team comprising Shadowalker (a teleporting wizard) , Knight Hawk (a motorcycle riding detective with some mental powers) and Thunderbird (a flying weather controller/blaster). Earwig got nearly killed by a demon and is recuperating in the medical room back at base, contemplating whether he's good enough to mix it with the rest of them. Good fun.
Will be running some Triumphant! face to face with the same group, in the same campaign...we switch GMing duties and have several groups of different power level characters going around. 
Also playing an online Triumphant! campaign on RPGNet - using my fast healing brawler character Knuckleduster. Having a good time there too.

I find myself at an impasse.

​As I mentioned in the thread on my Egyptian game, it ended on very much a high note. My players said it was the best Sword and Sorcery game I've ever run - better even than the epic Lemurian game of a few years back. I promised I would return to the setting later this year, as the players are eager to return to Thebes.

​However, I definitely need a break from it. Not only because I had finished a big set of questions posed in the first game, and so anything else I next did would be totally new cloth. But also because the end of the campaign was so bloody good! Anything else with the same characters would be anticlimatical without some distance from end of the last campaign.

​So, I proposed to do one-shots for a bit, or revisit some other old campaigns. But I've got nothing.

​I can't finish any of the ideas I've had, and have no enthusiasm for going back to old popular settings. My imagination well has run dry. There are always G-Man's excellent Hyborian one-shots, but I'm not sure if I can do them justice. I may just be a bit burnt out on Gm-ing.

And I keep thinking about Thebes.

So after failing to come up with anything else to run that fired my imagination in the slightest, after a gap of over a month with no gaming, I returned to my Ancient Egyptian campaign.

​I was worried that nothing I came up with would be anything but a pale imitation of the previous campaign, which my players said were the best S&S games I'd ever run. I shouldn't have worried - the first session was a blast!

I think I just needed a short break from GMing.

My wife and I are continuing our BoL Hyborian Age campaign "The Hammer of Æs".
We finished the Spider God's Bride and The Jewel of Khadim Bey (although finish is a strong word - my wife's PC a female Nomad/Thief from Shem, decided to bug out after the encounter in the ruins east of Zamboula scene...she located a chest full of jewels and coins and said "that's good enough, let's keep heading east")

Her character is travelling with my GM PC a barbarian from Asgard, they are heading towards Vendhya.
The next installment is the Eidolon of the Ape.

BoL can't be beat for sword and sorcery campaigning...

BoL really delivers, doesn't it?

​The second series of my Ancient Egyptian campaign is drawing to a close, and I'd like to possibly do some of G-Man's Hyborian one-shots as a palate cleanser before starting up something else. My BoL Firefly campaign possibly, or my long-planned but never run Man From Uncle game.

​One thing that is clear to me, is that after BoL, other game systems seem so clunky - especially chargen. I really enjoyed the Hollow Earth Expedition/Leagues of Adventure mash-up I ran a couple of years back; but I really loathed the chargen required for even simple NPCs. Probably I'm just lazy (very probably) but prepping and running BoL is just so straightforward and quick that it has spoiled me for other systems.
