Modiphius just announced a new Wolfenstein roleplaying game that'll adapt The New Order and The New Colossus. It'll be crowdfunding in Q3 2026 - I've shared more details here: https://www.wargamer.com/wolfenstein-the-roleplaying-game/announced

I know I could've Googled this, but I'd like to know from people who are already using something new. With Discord's new Age Verification, I've decided to move on. The only other program I have experienced with is Zoom (Used in an Owlbear, played a pretty fun campaign), but aside from Zoom, I don't know what else is out there.

Appreciate any helpful responses. It sucks that companies are now asking for our real-life IDs. Discord is just another company I won't be using anymore.

I've been playing rpgs for the past 30 years and I've never gotten into narrative games, but I want to.

I tried to get into Blades in the Dark, but I have a hard time understanding the rules, and now I'm looking into Metro:Otherscape.

I'm reading and rereading sections in the book, I'm watching videos and reading reviews (although it doesnt seem like there is a lot out there), but its so different from what I'm used to (DnD, Rolemaster, Shadowrun, Savage Worlds), that I have a hard time understanding it.

I know that the best way to learn would be to find a group to play in, but thats not really an option where I live at the moment.

Any good posts, articles, reviews or videos to help an old gamer understand a narrative game?

TL:DR Help an old gamer understand how narrative games work, specifically Metro:Otherscape

Hey everyone. I often have only two players available at a time and I was wondering if there is any game for GM and two players. Not game that plays ok with two but a game made for exactly two players where they are a duo complimenting each other with synergies etc. Do you know anything like that ?

I'm planning to run Mistborn rpg to my friends, but I'm not sure which system to choose.
I downloaded most of what was released for the older Mistborn system, but also the base game for the Cosmere RPG. I also heard that a Cosmere rulebook covering Mistborn will be released soon.

Hey guys, long time GM here entrenched in prep for an upcoming short campaign. I've always run games using online tabletops, this campaign will be using foundry vtt. I've always made a lot of maps for my games. Not just battle maps but maps for... well everything. Every shop, inn, shack, road side. Everywhere any kind of interaction happens between players and NPCs.

I'm aware there is a certain amount of taste involved in this but I'm also wondering if this is a bit of a crutch for me and maybe there would be benefits to using a more theatre of the mind approach to non combat interactions. I'm interested to hear your thoughts / experiences on the subject. Can you have too many maps? How do you decide what to map and what not to map?

Hi all!

I've heard a lot about West Marches style campaigns, and of how they're designed specifically to deal with erratic attendance.

Erratic attendance means that you can't rely on the same group of people to be present for multiple sessions in a row - right?

How does that work with adventures that last more than one session? Or are you supposed to only have stories that allow the PCs to leave the home town, have the adventure, and get back, all in the same session?

For context, I'm pondering this because my group of players are all adults with jobs that create messy schedules. I pretty much never have the same people for two sessions in a row.

Pretty much that, any major lore changes in the canon of RPGS that made you go "...What?" or made you cringe and forced you to change the lore or adjust?.

I hate to say it, but as an old WoD head...yeah...Hunter the reckoning 5 and Werewolf the Apocalypse 5 as a whole made me go "..wait what" specially with the idea of the get of fenris "Falling" to the wyrm

I've recently started struggling with burn out as a forever DM. To be clear I do love DMing, often more than being a player, but lately the role hasn't been as joyful as it once was and I caught myself finding excuses to reschedule my sessions. I'm very light on prep, but even looking over my notes made me anxious and restless.

So I decided to take a break. I figured that a few months away from the DM screen would do me good. The problem is that I can't stop thinking about DMing! Every book I read or show I watch, I catch myself coming up with plots, characters, table pitchs... it's like there's a program in the background of my mind, constantly churning out ideas. But when I do sit down to try and make those ideas reality, that old anxiety comes back. Just thinking of writing a campaign outline has me exhausted. I don't feel like I'm ready to DM again but that part of my mind won't take the hint and rest.

I have no idea of what to do. I've spoken with a couple of friends who also DM, but they couldn't relate. I'd really appreciate some advice.

So i was on the Cyberpunk RED discord talking to the gang about how Lethal Red is, and now im wondering.. in your opinions, which games are infamous for how lethal are they and for how survivable are they

I always considered L5R (the first 4 editions) to be stupidly lethal. Cthulhu/Delta Green are too but thats part of the enjoyment of knowing that death is always rushing towards you.

I always considered that D&D is a very survivable game, specially with resurection spells and what not.
