This is the place for small talk on r/rpg.

The off-topic rules may not apply here, but the other rules still do. This is less the Wild West and more the Mild West. Don't be a jerk.

Is it good? I dunno, that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is there are rules for making a vampire half-dragon minotaur wizard, and all sorts of other combinations. No homebrew required. Is it functional? Is it balanced? No idea. But the rules allow it, enable it, and I respect that.

As someone who has been running Delta Green for a while (as well as playing call of cthulhu occasionally) I really like BRP and its children a lot. In the past I have not been as big on running fantasy systems, but I have become more warm to the idea as of late, and I am thinking about giving Runequest a go. Has anyone played or ran the newest edition, and is the game supported well or is the assumption that you are writing adventures for the game?

I am a begginer GM who is in search of RPG where players play cops, i want the universe to be a satire of the police officers.

Something like The Naked Gun if you seen it ; commical absurd, a universe where cops are either stupid or corrupt or both and they are doing some whacky and fun mission.

Is something like that exist ? Or what am i demanding and asking for something too specific.

If it doesn't exist, i would love to create it

just feeling a bit frustrated and need to vent, so please forgive bad formatting as I’m on mobile

Ive been attempting to find some people to play ttrpgs with. I knew it would be a bit difficult to find people outside of 5e but I was willing to try. I know it’s possible ofc. I listed a few, like Savage Worlds and Mork Borg. maybe I went wrong by saying I didn’t want to dm? as someone whose been a gm for a years, I just want to play a bit.

it doesnt help that I’m quite shy and introverted. I had posted to a local game store discord group… nothing. I had posted to a local facebook group…. post denied with no explanation. im considering looking into online games but I’m not a fan of that, after playing on roll20 for a few years.

I do play solo games before anyone suggests that and very much enjoy it, but I’d like to find a dedicated group. I realized recently that this is my main hobby and having my friends play when they don’t care about the game and only play to hang out has been hurting my enjoyment. I still play with them, but its so far and few in between. frequent sessions with them are not possible. hopefully some folks here understand where I’m coming from

if someone could offer me advice on what I should attempt, I’d be grateful.

Specially:

- Tales of the Valiant

- Draw Steel

- Daggerheart

- Pathfinder 2e REMASTER

- DC20

- Nimble RPG

- Level Up 5e

- Shadowdark (and OSR in general)

- Any others that I might forgot

Edit: for my own opinions.

Daggerheart has become my second favorite TTRPG at the moment. Its mix of lighter narrativistic & crunchy tactical gameplay is exactly what I was looking for.

I've tried Pathfinder 2e a few times as of now, though in very small doses. Its a bit too crunchy for my liking, though I love the design ideas of the game, even if it didn't click with me in practice.

Nimble... I had a bad time GMing it for the first time, since I decided to GM at the very last second, plus I found the starter adventure a bit ass. Love the general rules (specially on the GM side), but my players found the player side too light for our group tastes.

The rest I haven't tried yet, though I want to try out Tales of the Valiant, Draw Steel, Level Up 5e and any OSR/NSR like Shadowdark in the future.

It depends on what kind of game you're playing, of course, but man, poor Performance of D&D. The issue is not there aren't cool uses for it, but as a DM I sometimes have to squint and encroach the purview of other skills to let it be a justified option. And I want it to be an option! But if you don't have a bard in the game, what play does it get?

Superhero games are really such their own thing. At least, I think so. Let's say I'm a beginner game author, and I want to learn from the best. What's the best published superhero scenario? Best villain(s), best setting, best plot, etc? If one scenario doesn't tick all those boxes, just tell me which boxes it does tick?

Ideally it would be something available on DriveThruRPG or somewhere else online.

What’s the best adventure, adventure path, or campaign in which the antagonist are the Great Old Ones (any system)? Did PF1’s Strange Aeon’s make you feel the world was on the edge of collapse? [Edit] Sorry, should have been specific: Fantasy genre. I want the gods to be afraid. Random insanity becomes a cult. And a 100' mindflayer comes out of the sea.

While my preferences lie with old-school systems that reward player skill through dungeon and hex crawling, my group is intrigued by Daggerheart and would like to give it a go. I confess I have never watched anything related to Critical Role, so I'm coming at this totally blind. I have the box set on the way. I have never played a narrative-forward game in my life, I think it's called...

I like to build worlds and act as an impartial referee as players romp through them, discovering their stories along the way. I guess that's a good way to describe my frame of reference. So, I have a hunch this will be wildly different and I'm curious how it'll play. Hooray for variety.

What are your impressions a year in, for those who have spent a good bit of time with the system?
