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.

But I couldn't help but think: isn't that kinda the point?

With a game like the DCCRPG, I feel that the fun comes from making your own Crawler, putting them through the wringer to experience the world Dungeon from another perspective.

If you just wanted to reenact the main DCC story, I feel that you'd just want to re-read (or listen) to the books, no?

I don't wanna yuck anyone's yum, but I was honestly shocked that people wouldn't want to make their own unique Crawler. Or if they re-created the characters, things didn't happen just like it did in the books.

I was redirected here after asking a question in a DnD focused subreddit.

I am writing a low fantasy and low magic game with a focus on both combat and investigation. By low magic I do mean magic does exist but is just incredibly inaccessible to the common person, which the player will be starting off as.

If possible, it would be a great addition for training to be a valid way for the players to improve and level up.

I honestly do not know what information would be important, so if I need to add anything, lmk and I'll comment or edit the post later

Hi all, I'm looking for game suggestions that would work for a 1-on-1 game. It would be great if the adventures could be set in the Call of Cthulhu or World of Darkness because I like those rules and I like horror, but I'll take a look at any system and setting.

I'm playing with a friend who's a bit new to TTRPGs and I wanted to give her something easy to get into.

Why did they stick?

Hi! I been wanting to get some family members into rpgs but they arent great with english sadly. So are there any systems that have been fully translated into hungarian and or were written in hungarian from the beginning?

I came into the hobby almost 10 years ago, and by then digital distribution was already in full swing with platforms like DriveThru, Itch, and publishers' own storefronts like Paizo's, but every now and again I get curious about the earlier era of RPGs that predate that online distribution model, particularly from companies that did not stick around to officially re-release their books on the internet, leaving them only as physical secondhand purchases on the likes of eBay, or as unofficial digital scans.

Any noteworthy or obscure gems hidden away in the forgotten recesses of the 90s or 80s you'd wanna share?

I am looking to create a potable and if possible good combat system for Werewolf the Apocalypse after seeing this meme.

In order to do this I first need to research and see what is out there already. So I come back to my title. What game has the best tactical combat?

By best I mean games that you feel the best playing. This is a bit subjective and I hope broadens the possible answers. As well some game might have elements that are excellent while other things are adequate or even bad.

2 possible games I have played where the combat felt good:

• Pathfinder. Pretty crunchy but not too excessive, good enough variety of options but not obtrusive when playing.
• L5R 5e. The stances made it rather varied and made you think things through, as well the whole system allowed non-combat focused character be capable of helping without being totally useless nor stealing the thunder of martial focused characters. Not really tactical given the range band system but some elements were very good.

Exalted 3e has some interesting ideas, specifically the stunt system enables the players to do some fun and stupid shit without feeling like it's gonna bite them in the ass. However the combat has way to many layers of rolling dice and procedures, which I understand is important for it's feel but it's not my idea.

I have heard that lancer is very good and makes the management of heat and the customizability of each mech very fulfilling.

So yeah, what game do you think has the best tactical combat? and what combat elements in games do you think are cool and fun?

Hey y'all. I'm looking for a system recommendation for a one shot or mini campaign I've been asked to run. My girlfriend and her friends have this idea for a themed adventure where they're all mermaids going on a bachelorette weekend trip to Atlantis. They gave me some general ideas then asked me to fill out the details and GM it for them. I'm familiar with D&D 5e, Pathfinder 2e, and The Star Wars RPG / Genesys systems. I'm leaning towards doing it in 5e, but am wondering if anyone has a system recommendation for this setting/theme? I know they'll be far more focused on RP, story, exploring, mini games, and puzzles, moreso than combat and super crunchy stuff. Thanks in advance!
