I recently glanced over a copy of His Majesty the Worm and didn’t realize there were systems just for megadungeons. Is HMW any good, and are there others you like? Any regular systems you feel play very well in megadungeons?

There's a hundred and one pirate games (let alone games that can be 'hacked' to support games on ships). Cyberpunk, space, let alone the various flavors of fantasy, we've all seen them again and again.

So what are some of the lesser-known genres? And the games that support them?

Nothing that several games still do, like "rolling a D20". Prefer design elements that were hot for a year or two, then vanished.

This is something I'm sure a lot of us are guilty of. We're in a long multi-roomed dungeon and every new door we find, the party spend like 5 minutes trying to look into the room without getting caught.

Or maybe this is a my group thing lol

I want to be able to semi quickly just get into the next room, no need to set up an ambush, no need to peak around every possible corner, just go through the door and begin exploring. Anyone else experience this issue?

What the title says! I've been out of gming for a while and I wanted to ease back into it with some little one shots - I usually end up making something on the fly with just a vague starting premise + a couple of plot points I want to use, but I'd like to look at some pre-written one shots as inspiration.

Any system is ok, but preferably low fantasy/urban fantasy/historical ones would be the most helpful for me to steal ideas from :')

I know that there is more than a couple espionage/spy-related ttrpgs floating around, but I have specific ideas that I want to make sure will be complimented by the system I chose to run. As someone who knows nothing of this genre however, I'd love some recommendations from people with more experience.

I'm specifically looking for a game that is built around more grounded espionage. Something modern, and not 'cold war' modern, actual modern and then some, as my idea revolves around episodic missions that have impacts over large time scales and the future of technology/society, so likely going into cybernetics and space. I have at least one plot point I want centered around hacking satellites in Martian orbit, as well as traveling to other planets.

I'd also prefer that has a good bit of complexity so that the players can have diversity in both their characters and their actions without it just being 'well I guess that falls under this ability'' that I feel a lot of lighter games have. Something on the level of cyberpunk 2020 would be what I'm looking for. Metarules for the actual espionage-ing would be appreciated but not required.

Any recommendations are appreciated, thx!

Well, the title basically. I want a system that has rules for the transformations, the weapons, tha magic pets, the foot soldiers, the leaders and of course, the mega zords and giant leaders

Do you guys like it when a ttrpg puts random encounter/event tables in the player section or the gm section of a book? Been reading Forbidden lands and I find it interesting how many of the random tables are in the player rules sections. In a way it just lets the players handle a non-significant amount of busy work themselves. I feel it might remove a level of suspense however, though im not sure how serious of a concern that is.

So Im wanting to build a zombie apocalypse fantasy campaign and Im having trouble settling on a system that can handle horror survival at lower levels but also transition into something more heroic / hopeful at higher levels of play. Im worried if I do any flavor of D&D the table is going to get itself absolutely massacred in game one, because RUN is not a typical D&D tactic. I am also wanting everybody to bring 3 characters at the start so they have backups if they die, so ideally something with an easy character creation system. Any recommendations?

Has anyone played or run an adventure with it?

Hi all,

I decided to indulge into a post after 4 hours of googling for a game, managing keywords like crazy for a game I found online when browsing. i am on the edge on loosing my mind on it. It was on a list of ttrpg game for litllekids on reddit I think, and I went to the page of the makers of that game. Hesitated to buy it, which was my doom. I forgot the name of the game and it has been impossible to find the game. My own skill in describing the game might be too low but I tried a trillion ways to describe it on google for no chance. So I am summoning the hive mind. The game is a ttrpg like game aimed at toddlers. It consists of a book (or pdf) that you buy and there is only drawings on the book. I think it was on crowdfunding for a moment. The drawings act as little quizs. For exemple there is a drawn treasure chest and you ask the kid what he wants to do. He says that he wants to open it. But it is locked. So he has to find a key on the page etc. It is an rpg but you only use the drawings. If someone knows the title of the game I would be very, very grateful !
