**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.

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.

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.

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?

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?

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?

So I'm a perma-dm and have been running pf1e for my group for like 10 years + now. We've gotten solid at roleplaying and story telling, but I find combat can drag. Even all the narrative descriptions in the world cant keep a 3 hour combat interesting, especially when its just a bunch of people bottle necked in a room slugging it out (which happens alot, as it makes the most sense tactically).

Looking for options for alternative systems to look into, along the lines of a Delta Green, fast and intense but keeps the epic fantasy feel.

Hanging around for a bit tomorrow, was wondering what TTRPGS you’ve seen in the vendor hall that are fair in price and full of content. What’s stood out to you so far?

I recently backed the kickstarter of a rpg that is powered by Mörk-Borg. I know there are tons of different rulesets based on other handbooks (like the Apocalypse, D&D etc) but how does it actually work?

I'm asking this because I'm quite new to roleplaying and I wanted to know for example if I have to learn and play Mörk-Borg to make it easier to play the one I backed.

Would be good to reference without needing to pay close attention to all the various publishers individually
