I'm also hyped for this one. Looking forward to running it. I don't care much for their Sentinels setting, though. I'm thinking of using the City of Heroes MMO setting and filling it out with a bunch of my own creations.

If they want to have input in the setting, I might work with my players to come up with a setting we can all get into. I was thinking of basically working with them to design a single city that the majority of the story happens in and branch out to other stuff over time (other locations, planets, realities and timelines).

If they don't want to do that, I'll probably just use the Sentinels setting and skip out on parts I don't care to highlight in my games.

Legend of the Five Rings (5th, FFG edition) and Conan 2D20. I used to run a Deadlands Classic campaign of limited scope for the last couple years over the christmas break (about 10-12 sessions), but that will likely take a back seat to a Clone Wars campaign this year.

Since 2014, I've had the time to play 2 systems. ffg star wars and my own system called 3D, 6 biggest inspirations were cortex plus/ffg star wars/saga edition/weg d6 star wars/fate/palladium-rifts (the concept of mega damage) but I've stolen adapted mechanics from various other systems (rcr star wars, d&d 4e, fuzion...) was in the middle of revamping the range rules. The statistics just work right it's fast but a little more crunchy and more free form than ffg star wars, it's intended to do everything thing well, and when my own take on things don't measure up in game play I change them. It's designed to handle everything from d&d to rifts.

At the moment? As a GM I run A Song of Ice and Fire , The One Ring and FFG Star Wars at the table, and D&D5 , Star Wars and The One Ring on Roll20. I play in a FFG Star Wars campaign. About twice a year we get together for our oldest group, playing Vampire like in the 90s (where it started). And a bigger set of friends meets once or twice a year for a weekend of gaming, where I have GM'ed or played Legends of the 5 Rings 4th , Barbarians of Lemuria and some other one-shots. I used to do a lot more, but in the last year it was only Fate in the world of Destiny, Midnight first using D&D5 then switching to Fate, The Expanse and probably some more I am forgetting.

Before we moved, I used to designate one friday each month my Open Gaming Table, either playing a megadungeon with Pathfinder or trying new systems, like Mouse Guard , Numenera , Dragon Age and a couple of others. I like trying new systems. But to be honest, most of my players cannot be bothered with a lot of crunch anymore - too little time to read through a billion pages of rules ...

Justifiers - awesome, little known game from early 90s

Funny, I wrote a novel for the new release a couple of years back, but I seldom see folks playing or even mentioning Justifiers.
