**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.

Specifically games like Astroprisma, per example, where you can tell a lot of work was put into the visual design of the book. The more interesting the designs, the better, though I won't disregard simpler systems.

Any recommendations are appreciated, be it full rulebooks, zines, one-page games, whatever.

Welcome one and all to a post where we can freely discuss the games that we have released or the games that we are making. Stop on by and maybe you'll find your new favourite RPG!

A bunch of us make cool shit, but the Indie RPG space is crowded and it can often be difficult to get the word out about why people should try out your game. That's why every week we try to focus on a different mechanic or setting to see how new RPGs can solve decades old problems or put new spins on old greivances!

A soldier rattling off coordinates for an airstrike, a commander rallying his knights for that final defense or a martial artist anticipating their opponents next move! This week we're focusing on "Tactical Combat"! There are many ways to interpert "Tactical Combat", so come tell us how your game (or just any game you really like) puts a unique spin on it!

Thank you u/Dustin_rpg for the suggestion!

As per mod approval, comments here do not count against rule 7 - comment as much as you want, answer as many questions as you need and discuss to your hearts content!

All that I would ask is that anyone who comments about their own system takes the time to look at the minimum at one other game in the comments and ask a question or provide feedback. Lively discussions are what get people interested and what keep people engaged!

Last week was "Western" and we found some pretty neat stuff!

If you want to suggest a topic for future weeks, be sure to include "suggestion" in your comment so I can easily find it!

This week's RPG is Ironsworn!

Have you played it? Have you run/GM'd it? How did it go?

What's your favourite memory from the game?

What's the best thing about the game?

What's the worst? How would you improve it?

Last week was Torchbearer. Join us again next week for Dune - Adventures in the Imperium!

Our GM may not be able to run our Blades in the Dark campaign tomorrow night and Id like to have a backup game prepared just in case. What's your favorite low prep one shot to teach a system to new players? No preference on genre or style, just excited to try something new.

Hello Y'all

I'm looking for a TTRPG for a sci Fi campaign I plan to run. The concept is that the group starts on modern day earth, finds a crashed space ship, accidentally starts it up, and goes on space adventures completely by accident and has no way to know how to get back home at the moment.

I'm looking for a system that can handle adventure, comedy, and horror well. I'm also looking for one with space ship rules as well. And, perhaps most importantly, one that can handle a long campaign.

I haven’t tried it yet but it kinda just seems like the fantasy version of Mothership?

A campaign idea of the players all being robots that self-modify from the things they find over the course of play has been cooking in the back of my mind as of late, but I don't immediately have a game in my collection to run it in.

My table have varying levels of RPG experience (though leaning towards the less crunchy) - I figure they may take to the idea of loadout customisation if it's more closely tied to what they do in the story, rather than being in it solely for the 'build'.

Some workarounds come to mind - games like Lancer function almost perfectly fine without mech pilots existing (though it would be *way* too skirmish-focused for the table). There might also be games that have lots of equipment play and the side-option to play as a robot - but I'd love it if the game centered machines as a theme. Many thanks!

I'm making an entire TTRPG out of the "Amnesia" series by Frictional Games entirely out of scratch and am wondering how to handle combat. The player characters DO have weapons such as lead pipes they can use and some guns, but ammo is extremely scarce, and enemies can potentially two or three hit a player to kill them. I've also been working on a fleeing system and stealth system to avoid fights altogether if your rolls are good. My main question is how can I have players pefer to use the stealth system and actually prioritize combat as a last resort instead of fighting everything.

Thanks in advance.

Been looking into Dolmenwood and it really does seem to have a lot of hard work and love poured into the setting and campaign. As someone newer to the scene, what are some other books that are not necessarily all-in-one, but provide the GM and players a well made world and story to discover?

Hi! Me and my dad love playing games so I suggested maybe trying out a TTRPG and that’s how the dragon bane kit got sprawled all out on our living room floor. The only issue is we have no idea how we are going to pick a GM because I certainly don’t want to be and he probably doesn’t either. Does this mean we are forced to find somebody willing to play as the GM or do we need to just call it quits and return the thing? I know there is WAYS to get by without a GM but honestly it looks pretty confusing and intimidating as a person who doesn’t really know anything about anything. Any help would be super duper awesome!!! 😅😅

Hey folks, I've seen occasional discussion about Armour Astir: Advent on this subreddit.

In case anyone is already playing, or is thinking about playing the delightful Armour Astir: Advent, there's now a very in-depth foundry module available here:
