Reading Dragonbane after obsessing over BREAK!! for the last couple weeks, I find myself wondering again why anyone would play Hasbro's Dungeons & Dragons™ when these games have so much more flavour and character. And don't get me started about the much lower investment in money and braincells to start a game!
I propose a new term to describe games that do D&D better than D&D: Fantasy Heartwarmers.
Please respond by saying what sorts of TTRPG things you're pretty likely to either talk about or respond to if you see them.
This can be a list of games (D&D! Tribe 8! Fate!) or categories (the weirdest of indie stuff! NSR! Anything PBtA!), topics (Worldbuilding! Publishing!), stuff you're making, meta-commentary (The State Of The Industry), and so on.
Then maybe share, and if the replies are building up, check them for new people.
Discord is good for certain uses (like pbp games), but if you have an #indieTTRPG that could feasibly be of use to anyone else, don't ask it there. It's a closed service with terrible archiving, and storing our collective knowledge there just ensures that someone else is going to have to duplicate that effort sooner rather than later. Go ask the question on a open, searchable space like The Cauldron so that more of the scene can benefit from the discussion.
Had great fun playtesting “Ballad Hunters” by @MoltenSulfur yesterday, alongside @kevinkulp and others. It is great fun, and I know he would value other playtests
It Wants Blood is a slasher film micro-RPG. It's built for one shots and meant to be played in person.
It's GM-less, it has simple, evocative dice mechanics but focuses on position and structure to put players where they need to be for maximum fright, err, fun :)
