Hi! sorry for my bad English but I came here to ask if there was any universal TTRPG with a focus on Sci-fi that is easy to learn and teach and has a simpler combat system that allows all sorts of things like mechs, spaceships, psyonichs, etc

I know many of you are gonna recommend GURPS but, while I personally like the system for its robustness, I don't think it is easy to teach and handle and I would like a TTRPG system that is easy to understand and expand.

GURPS is too much and Fate is too bare bones for my liking and for the setting I want to construct into a TTRPG. I would like something like Chronicles of Darkness (or World of Darkness) but with a Sci-fi focus.

I know this is too much to ask and a little contradictory.

The setting that I want to work on into settings for a TTRPG is a little complex but in short the premise is that a group of technologically advanced humans arrive on 2040s Earth (which still looks like our modern day Earth only lot more miserable and a little bit more advanced in tech but still similar to what we have now) in order to unify it into a single banner and bring justice and dignity to the humans here. There are alien races, laser weapons, synthetics, FTL and the whole sci-fi shabam.

Is there something like in the middle that can work for a premise like that?

sorry if I keep this short I don't want to over expand because its kind of long but you can ask me anything you need.

I've been wanting to get into some rpgs with my husband and sister in law but it's hard to find some that I feel like all three of us would be interested in. We tend to prefer more non-magical related settings (we like fantasy but we don't like playing with magic. So like no spells/blessings/curses and stuff like that!)

We don't really have much experience with actually playing rpgs so any help and advice is much appreciated 🩷🩷🩷

edit: all of these suggestions are super great and will be looking into them! I wasn't expecting to get so many responses so quickly 😅🫶

When you're shopping online for TTRPGs, where do you go? Why?

Bonus Question for those of you who are putting your own stuff out there: Which one of these do you prefer as a producer?

So recently we talked a bit about roleplaying in Finland, due to the whole UNESCO living cultural heritage thing. It got me thinking, what's the scene like for you, wherever you're from? Is DnD the biggest game? What other games are played? Do you typically play domestic games or foreign imports (translated or not)? What's your domestic industry like - what kinds of games do designers in your country make? What are your cons like?

My local game group mostly play 3.5e and 5e DnD. We're currently in a multi-year long campaign, and i'll be honest, the sessions has become a bit... dried(?) lately. I think playing the same system for a year, weekly, can cause that. So i'm thinking of stiring things up a little by GMing a different TTRPG system oneshot once a month. Problem is, DnD is still our main system, and making other player learn a whole 300 pages long rulebook doesn't seem to be a very good idea. So i'll need some TTRPG with: short rule (50-150 pages rulebook, less would be even better), easy/fast character creation. A specific theme aren't that importance since they're pretty much in for anything (sci-fi, low/high fantasy, apocalypse, cyberpunk, etc)

Hey, all

I'm considering running a campaign at some point where the player characters are rebels resisting an occupation force. Similar vibes to the movie Red Dawn or the old game Freedom Fighters. So some focus on squad and base building, guerilla tactics, facing propaganda, 70s/80s atmosphere, etc.

The twist is that since my players love magic/supernatural elements, I was thinking it could be neat if the system had psionics or mutations, or something schlocky like that to go with a more parody version of the Cold War Red Scare theme. (Not too far off from Stranger Things, to be honest)

Never ran Delta Green, but that's the first one that comes to mind.

Any suggestions?

Cheers!

I got the scarecrow mini for free RPG day and it reminds me a lot of Samhain from The Real Ghostbusters which has inspired a one-shot where my players will take on Samhain the spirit of Halloween. I want a system with decent enough combat to warrant using minis. Doesn't have to be a Ghostbusting system I'm even open to just using D&D 5e but I'm wondering if there is a system that would work better. I have experience with 5e, daggerheart, candela obscurea, and the kids on bikes games.

I'm looking for any information about the (hungarian?) game M.A.G.U.S in english.

Especially especially the part about spellcasting system.
Does anybody have a lead?

I've played cyberpunk 2020 and red. RED had better hacking rules because they were actually gamable, but still felt like the netrunner was never fully a part of the party, and monopolized a ton of time. In most cases, I'm okay with a simple hacking check then moving on, but when the party's plan hinges on this, it feels bad to just do a single roll and say yes/no. So what are the best Hacking rules you've seen. Bonus points if the ideas behind them are portable to other games.
