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.
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.
