So as the newest edition of the year is about to roll-out, what are your RPG plans ? Play more ? Less ? Try another game ? Finish a long campaign ?

Going to finish off my Pathfinder sandbox campaign and get into space RPGs. Anyone got any recommendations?
If you don’t mind something more OSR, Stars Without Number is a good sandbox space game. I’ve played it a couple of times and enjoyed it.
I played a lot of Fading Suns at the start of the century, we’re closer from Dune/Babylon 5 than from Star wars or Star treck in term of concept. The game isn’t new (well there was a 4E released recently), and Is a game from the late 90’s whose authors worked on Werewolf the Apocalypse this simple sentence tells a lot about the game (Faction who hate each other, imminent doom and more) if it’s your stuff go for it.
I played a couple of one shots of Alien and Coriolis, worked fine but I don’t know enough the game to have a hard advise on it
and as I said, I plan a Mecha campaign, Lancer seems to combat/crunch heavy so I plan to try Beam saber soon
I never read why the suns are fading. But I found a potential hard-scidence explanation in Project Hail Mary (I haven’t finished it yet).
Unrelated question but for my culture
Is the Junior-High / Middle difference a regional split ? Or a administrative/legal jargon versus everyday’s dialect ? thing ?
@Ziggurat @phase @rpg “Junior high” is a school with US grades 7-9. “Middle school” is a school with US grades 6-8. School grade divisions have changed over the last 30 years in the US due to population changes mostly. Middle School is the more recent division of grades. Some schools are even going to an “international jr/sr high school” format of US grades 7-12 which is more akin to gymnasiums, “high schools”, in Austria and Germany.
Project Hail Mary? The hero is a former researcher and a junior/middle school teacher. It is used in the fiction as an excuse to make science understandable. I understand this level of science so I am biased but I think it is good enough.
