- The VULCAMINOS gang. Disbanded and then reformed over the past +10 years. Initially communicated via facebook group. Now SMS text only. The only regular face-to-face, in person game I play. Biweekly ~5 hour session, but a large chunk of that is dinner and social time.

- The BEEKEY BLINDERS gang. Discord text for chatter, discord audio/viodeo for playing. Traditionally a lot of Roll20 for <abbr title="Virtual Tabletop">vtt</abbr>, but lately Foundry. I have met all these people irl. Regular weekly 2 hr.

- The LANTERNLIGHT gang. Friends from .town and beyond. Chatter on discord, play on zoom. Regular weekly ~4hr game.

- The CAMPAIGNWIKI gang. Based out of Switzerland. Experimental play-by-post game happening over irc and nntp. Otherwise discord audio. Chatter on irc / discord.

- The BASEMENT QUEST gang. On hiatus. A gang of people from tilde.town / the basement. Communicates via irc. Plays via email.

- SEAN'S GANG. A loose group of gamers and designers. Predominantly UK based. All text, all discord. Mostly slow paced play-by-post. Sometimes concentrated bursts of live text games such as during <abbr title="Lunch Time Live Text">LTLT</abbr> and <abbr title="One Houre One Shot">OHOS</abbr> games.

- The PERILOUS gang. Long dormant Troika! play-by-post gang. Started by andy for a game of Acid Death Fantasy. After he left the group, we played a series of adventures featuring mostly the same characters. Also home of the cult classic Dome Riders game. All text, all discord.
