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.

Fairly straight forward question. I will say that i'm primarily thinking of classes, not sub-classes that are a wacky and zany twist on a class.

What's the best narrative twist you've pulled off successfully in one of your games?

My favorite twist I pulled off was an "evil sire" in Vampire: The Requiem. The player character's sire was constantly giving him toxic positivity and helping out in all the wrong ways. For instance, to help him get appointed as Sheriff in the city she bloodbound some Pandorans (i.e. failed feral constructs) and had them attack the Prince of the City.

Later on in the campaign the player character met with one of his sire's rivals who revealed a graveyard full of her dead childe. The player character thought this proved that if he defied his "mother" he'd be killed. The sire revealed when confronted that her previous childe asked her to stop helping them and they died via rebellion or lack of protection (which was true).

The player character decided to deliver a warning and told their sire she wasn't allowed to create disasters for him to prevent. So she agreed... but then told her Ghoul manservant to take up the responsibility... 😅

Hello fellow enthusiasts!

These days I find myself collecting rpgs more often then playing them. That said I think of each book/game in my collection as my treasures. What is your favorite piece or pieces in collection and why? Lately I have two favorite:

-Mappa Mundi: the art is exceptional, and the design is a treat.

- Yazeba B&B: I love an rpg that plays like a Legacy Board game, with an eclectic cast and stickers!

Thanks in advance for sharing! 😊

Does anyone know if there is a reasonably well maintained list of ttrpg conventions with dates and locations? I know googling can get me various answers but for me it has been a fair amount of cross reference and overlaying to get an accurate picture

I'm trying to find some smaller cons that I can attend on a budget that are near places I'll be visiting or want to visit with friends

Recently found this gem for domain management but I am confused about obstacles. I don't fully understand how their debuff works.

For example, a resource location with corrupt leaders (6). Does this mean decreasing wealth by 3 for this resource location since it produces wealth? Or decreasing social by 3 since corrupt leaders is a social type? Or is it even a decrease of 3 for every value in the location?

Hey everyone!

Nobody Wake The Bugbear's second Mothership RPG campaign: Trouble In The Deep is beginning it's release on YouTube Trouble In The Deep - Part 1 - Video

Trouble In The Deep follows a group of corporate backed marines called Troubleshooters as they Raid the Cloudbank Synthetics Production facility in search of rogue Androids and scavenging Divers. It is based off the Mothership RPG's amazing sci-fi megadungeon: Gradient Descent written by Luke Gearing.

This YouTube series has been over 6 months in the making and features hand drawn artwork for the characters and human made graphics and effects - it contains NO generative AI images or text

The emphasis is on the best quality audio and immersive sci-fi visuals, there's at least 100 hours of work that's gone into the editing and graphics so we hope it shows, Enjoy!

Ever since I started playing rpg's a few years ago, I noticed every single GM I've had had some sort of cult plot that was central or in the background of a campaign. Additionally, when I run games myself, there's always at least 1 player that wants their background to include a cult. I'm usually playing traditional fantasy games, and I'm not very interested in cults myself. Where is this huge interest coming from?

I am planning to GM a campaign inspired by Little Nightmares, and I'd like system recommendations that best fit this proposal.

For those unfamiliar with the universe of Little Nightmares, here is a brief summary.

The main feature of this world is disproportion: the protagonists (and other surviving NPCs) are tiny, fragile children trying to survive grotesque creatures, which are massive, deformed, and oversized adults.

This is not a story about heroes; the protagonists' focus is on surviving extremely oppressive locations, such as a cannibalistic restaurant with guests trying to devour you; a school run by a sadistic teacher and populated by hell-spawn children; or a city under the mental control of televisions, where if you turn them off, the inhabitants will try to suck out your soul.

Given these characteristics, what I am looking for is not a standard heroic system where the protagonists are strong and can handle problems in direct combat.

Conflicts should be structured around two main pillars: first, Stealth, where characters will try to avoid being noticed by a creature by hiding, holding their breath, or slipping out of their pursuer's field of vision; second, Chases, which are scenes where the monster spots the protagonists and they must flee, navigating through obstacle-filled environments.

Considering this vulnerability of the protagonists, the focus on stealth, and escapes without direct combat, what system do you recommend?

I'm looking for suggestions on any systems or rules for running any sort of air or sky based ship combat.

I've been working on a campaign setting (system to be determined) heavily inspired by the Skies of Arcadia JRPG video game. The (air)ship combat in the game is turned based and allows for the use of spells as well as cannons, harpoons, etc.

I've never used rules for any sort of ship combat as a GM before, and I've been trying to research systems and rules but I'm having trouble finding any and being able to browse mechanics without having to purchase first.

I'm open to any and all suggestions even if it's sea based or space based mechanics.

If you've run or played in any of the systems suggested I'd love to hear your feedback on how they were to run as a GM or use as player.

Not a hardcore dedicated group, in other words.
