 Has anyone here tried Father Fog? Thoughts?

I haven’t tried it yet but it kinda just seems like the fantasy version of Mothership?

 What is your favorite game/one shot to teach and run on short notice

Our GM may not be able to run our Blades in the Dark campaign tomorrow night and Id like to have a backup game prepared just in case. What's your favorite low prep one shot to teach a system to new players? No preference on genre or style, just excited to try something new.

 Best Visuals in TTRPG Books
Posted: 2026-08-28T04:46:41+00:00
Author: /u/itzlaxhttps://www.reddit.com/user/itzlax

Specifically games like Astroprisma, per example, where you can tell a lot of work was put into the visual design of the book. The more interesting the designs, the better, though I won't disregard simpler systems.

Any recommendations are appreciated, be it full rulebooks, zines, one-page games, whatever.

 How to make combat scary for horror rpg?
Posted: 2026-08-28T01:05:22+00:00
Author: /u/Xenomorph_8298https://www.reddit.com/user/Xenomorph_8298

I'm making an entire TTRPG out of the "Amnesia" series by Frictional Games entirely out of scratch and am wondering how to handle combat. The player characters DO have weapons such as lead pipes they can use and some guns, but ammo is extremely scarce, and enemies can potentially two or three hit a player to kill them. I've also been working on a fleeing system and stealth system to avoid fights altogether if your rolls are good. My main question is how can I have players pefer to use the stealth system and actually prioritize combat as a last resort instead of fighting everything.

Thanks in advance.

 What are your favorite campaign and/or setting books?

Been looking into Dolmenwood and it really does seem to have a lot of hard work and love poured into the setting and campaign. As someone newer to the scene, what are some other books that are not necessarily all-in-one, but provide the GM and players a well made world and story to discover?

 Looking for a good Sci Fi RPG System for this.
Posted: 2026-08-28T04:19:22+00:00
Author: /u/Individual_Walker_99https://www.reddit.com/user/Individual_Walker_99

Hello Y'all

I'm looking for a TTRPG for a sci Fi campaign I plan to run. The concept is that the group starts on modern day earth, finds a crashed space ship, accidentally starts it up, and goes on space adventures completely by accident and has no way to know how to get back home at the moment.

I'm looking for a system that can handle adventure, comedy, and horror well. I'm also looking for one with space ship rules as well. And, perhaps most importantly, one that can handle a long campaign.

 Need help as a new ttrpg-ist
Posted: 2026-08-28T01:40:02+00:00
Author: /u/AdMindless113https://www.reddit.com/user/AdMindless113

Hi! Me and my dad love playing games so I suggested maybe trying out a TTRPG and that’s how the dragon bane kit got sprawled all out on our living room floor. The only issue is we have no idea how we are going to pick a GM because I certainly don’t want to be and he probably doesn’t either. Does this mean we are forced to find somebody willing to play as the GM or do we need to just call it quits and return the thing? I know there is WAYS to get by without a GM but honestly it looks pretty confusing and intimidating as a person who doesn’t really know anything about anything. Any help would be super duper awesome!!! 😅😅

 Looking for "SpellJammer" style ttrpg systems outside of d&d
Posted: 2026-08-27T18:30:32+00:00
Author: /u/HeraFromAcountinghttps://www.reddit.com/user/HeraFromAcounting

I'm a dungeon master who mainly does 5e, but I'm curious about other systems. I want my next campaign to be in a Dyson-swarm space pirate type of setting. Something loosely based of the Revenger series by Alistair Reynolds. The players would be privateers/treasure hunters, delving into derelict space habitats in search of relics and ancient technology. I'm somewhat indifferent to magic & spellcasters existing in this world, and I'm looking for something on the softer side of sci fi.

 How are the Star Wars TTRPGs?
Posted: 2026-08-27T13:00:59+00:00
Author: /u/Comrade_Lystrohttps://www.reddit.com/user/Comrade_Lystro

I’m a fan of Star Wars in general and I’m aware there are seemingly multiple books that convert the setting to a TTRPG. I want to know what’s people’s thoughts on them? Are they worth buying/playing?
