**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.

Hi! My name's Jay Dragon, and u/warmneutrals and I are the creative team behind Seven-Part Pact, our new fantastical ornate TTRPG about wizards and the responsibilities they hold. We've the editorial director and art director at Possum Creek, an award-winning and critically-acclaimed imprint of Steve Jackson Games focused on GMless TTRPGs about community, identity, and narrative. We're best known for our work on Wanderhome, Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast, and Last Train To Bremen.

Seven-Part Pact is a fantastical, ornate TTRPG for 3-7 players about the seven great wizards of a faraway archipelago. Each wizard wields tremendous power over the world, with magic giving them the ability to change the very rules of the game. But just as they wield power, so too are they trapped: by the pressures of masculinity, by the weight of their loneliness, by the tolling bell of their own mortality. Each wizard faces a choice: will they maintain the systems that imprison them, or rebel against the Pact and destroy the fragile balance of the game?

It's a blend of board games and RPGs, with each wizard taking charge of their own Domain and doing their best to safeguard it from disaster. The full boxed set includes a shared rulebook, a grimoire of magical spells, and a codex for each wizard (which functions like a mini-DMG). It features gorgeous art from an amazing team (including folks like Conner Fawcett and Pam Wishbow) and Ruby has carefully coordinated the aesthetic to land somewhere between medieval marginalia and dynamic retro risographs.

We would prefer for questions to focus on Seven-Part Pact, but if you ask questions for us in general (or anything else we’ve been involved in) we’ll do our best to answer if we have a moment. Ask away!

I love mechs and lancer is cool but it doesn’t embody the genre very well. It feels more like a wargame than a Ttrpg and doesn’t give you tools to play with tropes and storylines that the genre is known(horrors of war, personal trauma, fraught relationship,insurmountable odds) what other systems are out there

Legend in the Mist, the brand-new rustic fantasy game from Son of Oak, of City of Mist fame, is the deal of the day on Drivethru!

It's incredible to me to see a game so new so deeply discounted - it's less than half price! And LitM is a hotly awaited title that is still arriving in physical form to backers and hasn't been out very long in PDF either!

I haven't read mine cover to cover yet, but it's a streamlined implementation of the tag-based system from City of Mist. No moves, just a single resolution system with two levels of detail that is chosen on a moment-to-moment basis, depending on whether a simple yes / no result is sufficient.

It looks super flexible, the art is amazing, and I can't wait to get it to my table!

As always, I'm unaffiliated with either the storefront or the game itself. I'm just super excited to see LitM for less than $12!

I live all the way down in England and interested and spending my money on Viral, Carnival of Madness, The Highway of Blood and Signal to Noise (Call of Cthulhu scenario books), but after I looked at the website I was buying it off of, DriveThruRPG, and I looked at Trustpilot reviews and it was a 2.6. I couldn't find anywhere else and people who reviewed the those books had a physical copy they seemingly got from DriveThruRPG. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it honestly is trustworthy or really shady, if being the latter, I'd be grateful if anyone could tell me where else I could find those books.

So, I know most games, if you die, you can keep playing by rolling up a new character. what I'm looking for is games like Paranoia, where you have characters that can keep coming back, or the one i can never remember the name of where you are kids in a weird land, and if you die, you play as your ghost, or I know I've read at least one where if you die, you pick up an NPC to play as...

Any other suggestions like that?

Each summer the community comes together for the One-Page RPG game jam and creates hundreds of new, small tabletop RPGs. It's a great opportunity to try designing your own RPG and getting ideas on paper. Some designers have gone on to expand their one-pagers into larger games and get them on Kickstarter, or start a series of games. The jam is accepting submissions already, up until August 16th.

Out of all the systems, who do you think either does melee combat the best, or creates the best gameplay for a melee combatant? I'm trying to find a system where the melee characters are resourceless and aren't in the shadows of their magical counterparts.
Edit: I probably should've also asked why it was the best/your favourite

Hey folks! :D
Hope that you're all fine and having luck on our rolls <3

Me and my group are going to start a Cyberpunk or SciFi campaign soon. We currently love and play Dragonbane (that I've discovered in this sub!).

As we love the experience that Dragonbane brings to us, I wanted to know if there are any suggestions of systems like Dragonbane, but for SciFi or cyberpunk setting?

Thx in advance!

Hey folks,

My TTRPG library has grown beyond what I have room for, so I'm going to store some of the less used books. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips or advice on storing them, boxes to use, and how to prevent warping. We have a well-insulated attic and a partially insulated shed. I stored a few of my hardback comics in a sealed plastic box in the shed, and sadly they've warped. I don't want my TTRPGs to suffer the same fate!

Any tips would be great

I am looking for resources to build a science fiction game centered around exploration and discovery. Does anyone know of any games / adventures / campaigns along these lines?
