Whether it be due to scheduling, lack of interested players, or some other reason, what's an RPG system you're just hoping to get to the table one of these days but haven't been able to yet?
It can be official, modified, or entirely homemade. What do you like about it? Is it super organized, simple and easy to use, or does it just look super cool?
Although I have played and enjoyed some of the crunchier games out there, sometimes they just start to feel more exhausting than fun. I've also found it hard to get players to buy into games where you have 20+ different questions/choices during character creation....
Confession time: I am not overly enamored of "rules-lite" RPG systems. As long as the system is coherent and well-thought out, I prefer it when the system has rules for all sorts of things - from tactical combat to running chases to social encounters to falling damage and so forth. I like GURPS, I like D&D5E, I like Pathfinder...
Looking for some good, system-agnostic TTRPG resources to help you run your game? Here are some I use all the time:...
Hey all, my friend is starting a new game. We have some newbies joining and their attendance maybe hit and miss, with work schedules and life. What are some creative ways your groups have managed missing players outside of someone paying for them one session?
Can this magazine be used to look for roleplayers for games that happen in chat-environments?
I've only ever played 5e for my ttrpgs, but with WOTC showing its true colors, I'm trying to find a new system to adopt. I've been seeing people say Pathfinder 2e, and while i have a digital copy of the book I've been reading, i didn't realize how large it was until i saw it in a game store; the core rulebook is almost 3 times...
So. I just picked up Harnmaster 3e, and I knew it was a really crunchy system that I knew I'd probably never be able to get my players into, but lo and behold there's a system on Foundry. The combat works great, there's so much detail, and there's modules out already for NPCs, and merchants....
Who would read this figure in an academic paper on emotion modeling and immediately start thinking of how to use it for ttrpg social encounters... and has two thumbs?...
I have no idea how to crosspost on kbin and I just found this community to ask
Pros / cons / experiences as player and as GM?
In this week's ACTUALLY very special detail diatribe, our guest presenter schools us in the beautiful diversity of tabletop role-playing games and broadens o...
Normally, I run game set in entirely fictional settings, and draw my own maps....
What are your favorite Western-themed tabletop roleplaying systems and which aspects do you enjoy about them? Are there aspects of your chosen system that you think could be improved?...
In RPG and fantasy, we are often faced with a situation where the existence of gods is an empirically confirmed fact, rather than a matter of belief. Two extremes can be distinguished in the representation of these entities (note – I do not claim that all creation adopts one of these two extreme points of view). On the one...
Playing or running an RPG this weekend? Spending time on world building, prep, painting minis, or writing something? Let's hear it....
It's a new system whose Kickstarter raised $1.3 million since February. I'm curious about it but would like to hear more people's thoughts....
In 1981, Dungeons & Dragons publisher TSR printed an adventure so scandalous that when newly printed copies reached key TSR management, they ordered the entire print run sent to dumpsters rathe…
I've been playing this recently at the table. It's insane and dice-heavy in so many ways, but then so lightweight when it comes to character maintenance activity. Any discussion we could have here about this game would bring me a measurement level of joy.
Legal scuffling between Wizards of the Coast and TSR hit pause when the smaller tabletop RPG publisher filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
