 Mythworks is publishing a new edition of my game next week so I revamped the original game and made it free for everyone
Posted: 2026-04-05T19:51:40+00:00
Author: /u/RPDeshaieshttps://www.reddit.com/user/RPDeshaies

Hey everyone,

A couple of months ago, I posted here about how I got a publishing deal from Mythworks (the folks behind The Wildsea, Slugblaster, CBR+PNK, and The Last Caravan) to republish my game Breathless in a brand new "Frightmare Edition."

As we get closer to the Kickstarter launch date (April 7th, so only 2 days left!), I decided to go back and revamp the original two-fold pamphlet that made all of this possible.

I ported the new core modifications we made for the new edition back into the OG game, refined the text, added more elements to the tables, updated the cover art and styles, and redid the character sheet from the ground up.

I wasn't sure what to do with it at first, but then decided to release it for free as a gift to the TTRPG community for always having been so kind towards me and my projects.

Enjoy the game everyone, and thanks again for all the support. Wish us luck for this week!

Here's the free PDF: https://farirpgs.itch.io/breathless

 Help, I'm corrupting the youth!

So, my friend group are all in our fifties, and somehow we adopted a twenty-something into it. She's just babby but somehow all of our interests align and we get along pretty well despite the age gap. Anyway, she's been expressing interest in getting into TTRPGs for a while now, and I've promised her that I'd run something for her if we can get all our schedules aligned.

So a couple of weeks ago, I nonchalantly asked her if she had any dice, which she did not. A couple of days ago, I managed to slip in asking what her favorite colors were to the conversation. You can see where this is going. 😉 So today (or yesterday since it's 3 in the morning for me) I showed up at our annual Easter-adjacent get together, and pulled a little bag out of my purse and handed it to her. Inside were three sets of dice that I pulled from my collection in the colors that she liked. My God, the squeal of glee that came from her is something that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Now I just need to, you know, actually sit down and run something for her.

 GM constantly jumps from campaign idea to the next. Normal?
Posted: 2026-04-05T23:24:23+00:00
Author: /u/Baltic_Shufflehttps://www.reddit.com/user/Baltic_Shuffle

The GM never wants to run a long arc or campaign. It is always either a one shot with a very cool campaign or setting idea, or at most three sessions before they move on to the next thing. Is this normal?

 How do y'all organize your worldbuilding notes?

Just as the title says. I'm personally not a fan of world anvil but working on a google doc makes me feel like I'm in college and I got an essay due. So what are some alternatives that I might be overlooking?

 Non-Generic TTRPG Systems for a Zenless Zone Zero (Mobile Game) Type World?
Posted: 2026-04-06T03:19:45+00:00
Author: /u/AustralianShepard711https://www.reddit.com/user/AustralianShepard711

Looking for some suggestions for a non-generic TTRPG system to run a game similar in theme/world of Zenless Zone Zero (A gatcha game made by Hoyoverse)

For those unfamiliar ZZZ is set in what I would call an "urban fantasy punk" setting. It's in a modern city where cybernetics, elemental powers, androids, and cybernetics are all fairly common and unremarkable. The main threat are these things called "Hollows" which are ominous zones of horrible monsters and weird spatial anomolies. You play as teams of Agents, people with the skills and powers to kick ass and survive these places, and kick monster ass. The world is bright and colorful and relatively okay save for the Hollows.

Is there any system with a similar sort of vibe? "Urban", colorful, modern, and where PCs are basically low-level superheros.

On my current shortlist is Mutants & Masterminds and Genesys (which is generic but I like it). Are there any other games you know and enjoy in that vein?

 What are some of the hardest games to get your hands on?
Posted: 2026-04-06T05:13:31+00:00
Author: /u/P00leredshttps://www.reddit.com/user/P00lereds

I have recently been reading Monsters, Aliens, and Holes in the Ground by Stu Horvath and it has given me a larger appreciation for history of the hobby. So much has come before, but I am happy to see many older games have some sort of current edition that you can still get today.

I am curious, what games are some of the hardest to get a hold of? I assume most games are easily available online, but some games like FFG Star Wars have no legal PDFs available.

Are there any games out there that are out of print and not online?

 Why are players allergic to doing connections?
Posted: 2026-04-05T07:32:48+00:00
Author: /u/MidoriMushroomshttps://www.reddit.com/user/MidoriMushrooms

Connections is an inherent part of many narrative systems, including Powered by the Apocalypse, and mandatory at my table. I can't count the amount of times I've had a player ask me "Ok, but can I be the new kid?" The answer is no, because if I say yes to that person, then I need to say yes to everybody else, and then suddenly we've skipped an integral part of Session Zero to me, and some of my motivation to run is gone.

I don't know what is wrong with people not wanting to make connections in games where they are a required mechanic, like Fabula Ultima, or Animon Story, but I'm not like this. I LOVE finding at least one other player who I can create a meaningful connection with, especially because games that start in medias res just go so much smoother than dealing with the rocky and uncomfortable start of campaigns where people figure out how to get their characters to work with each other but this is just one of many reasons I prefer the OOC metagame of narrative systems.

 RPGS where monsters have random attack tables?
Posted: 2026-04-05T20:06:43+00:00
Author: /u/frostmage777https://www.reddit.com/user/frostmage777

Any RPGs where monsters have lots of different types of attacks, and where the DM rolls randomly to determine attacks? It’s something I like to do to make random encounters interesting, but I would like a system where it’s baked in, as it’s a lot of work to prep.

 Neglected Settings
Posted: 2026-04-06T05:35:49+00:00
Author: /u/Dactyl21https://www.reddit.com/user/Dactyl21

I’m curious, as an avid gamer, what are some forgotten or neglected fantasy settings you’d like to see more of? the stereotypical medieval fantasy is very prevalent, i still absolutely adore it, but it is definitely over saturated. I also love space and Sci-Fi but it always seems a mile wide and an inch deep for new entries.

 Games with stunning art
Posted: 2026-04-05T20:43:36+00:00
Author: /u/Papyaqhttps://www.reddit.com/user/Papyaq

Pls suggest some games or game expansions that are filled with the most gorgeous, flavourful, inspiring art you’ve ever seen. Details and intentional nuance choices of the artist(s) is what i crave.

Games that are falling in that category for me are:

— Ultraviolet Grasslands (and other Luka Rejec’s works)

— Mythic Bastionland (myth and knight arts are enough to make the whole flavour of said things)

— Troika! Numinous Edition Background arts are super cool, weird but not abstract enough to be unintelligible

— Mörk Borg (whole book is an artistic masterpiece, that is a blessing to have on a shelf even if you won’t play it)

Honourable mentions:

Yazeba’s Bed and Breakfast

Triangle Agency

Other Borgs (CY_borg etc.)

Wildsea

In my DM philosophy flavour is KING.

I seek flavour that will quench my hunger. So maybe don’t suggest generic systems like FATE and such. The more specific the better.

 Rolling a d20 in space?
Posted: 2026-04-05T21:21:30+00:00
Author: /u/U03A6https://www.reddit.com/user/U03A6

I think I've seen an astronaut with curls rolling a d20 in space and explaining how to meaningfully interpret the roll. But I don't find it anymore. Can anyone share that video with me? Or did I dream it?
