**Come here and talk about anything!**

This post will stay stickied for (at least) the week-end. Please enjoy this space where you can talk about anything: your last game, your current project, your patreon, etc. You can even talk about video games, ask for a group, or post a survey or share a new meme you've just found. 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.

On September 18, as part of their Autumn Preview of upcoming products, Games Workshop announced their first in-house RPG in roughly 20 years; Necroumunda Roleplay. They had products to show off, a promotional video of them sitting around playing it. It was due to come out by years end (most likely).

A couple weeks after the announcement, the articles about the game were removed from Warhammer Community (Game Workshop's official news site).

Today, 35 days after the announcement, they announced Necromunda Roleplay isn't happening.

I’m looking for RPG systems for a Wild West Campaign, similar to Red Dead Redemption. Both realistic Westerns and supernatural setting are welcome

What systems would you recommend?

Welcome one and all to a post where we can freely discuss the games that we have released or the games that we are making. Stop on by and maybe you'll find your new favourite RPG!

A bunch of us make cool shit, but the Indie RPG space is crowded and it can often be difficult to get the word out about why people should try out your game. That's why every week we try to focus on a different mechanic or setting to see how new RPGs can solve decades old problems or put new spins on old greivances!

Dracula riding a motorcycle, witches perfoming a ritual in a Wendy's parking lot - a lot can be hidden in plain sigh, so come tell us how your game (or just any game you really like) tackles Urban Fantasy!

Thank you... me, for the suggestion!

As per mod approval, comments here do not count against rule 7 - comment as much as you want, answer as many questions as you need and discuss to your hearts content!

All that I would ask is that anyone who comments about their own system takes the time to look at the minimum at one other game in the comments and ask a question or provide feedback. Lively discussions are what get people interested and what keep people engaged!

Last week was "Meta-Currencies" and we got some pretty interesting discussions going!

Edit: Thank you u/Conrad500 for the suggestion to make a Master List of all the "Let's Learn About..." posts. I'll start linking it from now on!

If you want to suggest a topic for future weeks, be sure to include "suggestion" in your comment so I can easily find it!

A few years ago, Matt Click (u/mytrucci) shared his rules-lite hack of the original Star Wars D6 system by West End Games: HyperspaceD6.

I came across this game while researching systems to kickoff a Star Wars campaign with my group. The last update was in May 2022, and despite the ruleset being largely complete, the document still had several unfinished sections. There have been a number of posts across reddit asking about this game - some assuming the project to be abandoned.

Well, it wasn't! A few hours ago, Matt dropped HyperspaceD6 V3 - and it's the full, finished game.

You can grab it here: HyperspaceD6 V3

What's new in V3:

• Every species, role, and NPC has complete writeups now (The lorem ipsum is gone)
• The previous list of species is replaced by 8 archetypes, plus guidelines for making your own
• Full NPC section, including quick-build stats for minions, elites, and leaders, traits to bolt onto any NPC, a d6 tactics table for running enemies, and 10 ready-to-go statblocks
• Full vehicles section, including NPC pilot tiers and upgrades
• A page of optional rules and guidelines to tune lethality
• Generic setting, so it works for any "space opera" game
• GM charts page that puts all the key tables in one place

Sounds like more is on the way too: a form-fillable sheet, rules reference/cheat sheet, more NPCs and vehicles, and GM tables for generating planets, plot hooks, and NPCs. Seriously, if you've been missing D6, give it a look. Big props to Matt for sticking with it all these years.

I've been on the hunt for some universal/generic TTRPGs, and lo and behold, I was surprised to learn that the Storypath Ultra Core Manual has actually been out for a while!

Yet, from what I've found in my searches (and apologies if my Google-fu has failed me), there haven't been many opinions on the game. So I guess I'm just curious about what everyone's opinions on it have been.

What do you think it does well? Do you believe it handles some types of settings better than others, as some generic/universal TTRPGs tend to do? Do you think one should avoid certain settings with it? Does it care about balance, or not at all? Does it have any nifty GM tools? Does it have any glaring issues, in your opinion? Really, I'm just curious about everyone's general overview of the game and whether it's worth picking up at all, especially compared to how it might handle things versus other generic games like Genesys, Savage Worlds, etc.

So we know there are IPs, sometimes there are specific games for that IP, sometimes a game already does the fantasy or the structure quite well...

Other times you make a connection that seems odd, but actually works really well.

For me it was the epiphany that Over the Garden Wall is basically Ten Candles (I did an inspired session last Halloween) or that Microscope could be an amazing system for a Telenovela.

Do you have any example of this?

I have been around long enough (born in the 70s) to know about table top rpgs, but never really played them. They look interesting, but how do they compare to open world computer based rpgs?

I guess how would you sell someone on them?

Hey yah, a friend of mine wants to run a short campaign/one shot. Thing is they want to get their partner involved too and they don't play as many RPGs or board games. However the really do love games with traitor mechanics like werewolf etc

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions of games which lend well to a traitor system or even better have one built in.

Rules light would be ideal but not required, bonus points if the setting is not high fantasy.

My suggestion was the Aliens game from free league but to me shock and horror their partner has never watched Aliens!

I'm also down to hear anyones homebrew rules as long as it's not from D&D. (Nothing against D&D but I'e played enough D&D in my life)

It was a medieval fantasy rpg very much based on DnD, and the fictional ”writer” of the rpg was meant to parody Gygax, with the text closely aping and parodying his prose style and strange pronouncements. I remember it being over-detailed to the point of unplayability, which was part of the gag, but some people still played it. One reviewer said to play it you should really role-play as contentious rpg players from the early 80s arguing about the rules. The main rule book (I don’t remember if there were any other releases for it) was about the length of the AD&D Dungeon Master’s Guide. Anybody know the name of this game?

G'day everyone, I'm now in our final 48 hours for my Fragged Aeternum 2 Kickstarter 😁 Thanks so much to everyone who has pledged, it means a lot 😃

"A violent and dark gothic ttRPG that plunges immortal PCs into the endless city of Aeternum to fight vile Fiends and otherworldly foes."

Fragged Aeternum is a lot of fun to play and GM - especially given the endless creative possibilities of an endless city, vast PC customization, and the fun of death (and TPKs) not being the 'fail state' of the game (narrative effects - such as the NPC being sacrificed by the cultists, or the BBEG having days of unrestricted freedom until the PC resurrect back at their base, etc... - are the 'fail states').

If anyone has any questions, feel free to post them up! And playtest files are available to all backers right now via the Fragged discord (just send me a DM on Discord).

Regards,
Wade
