I'm on a quest to find a grimdark cyberpunk ttrpg that takes place mainly in space. I love worlds that are unpleasant to live in, cyberware and body modifications that are not pleasant to the eye, societies on the brink of collapse, hacking machines/people, dangerous space travel, stagnant technology that probably makes the world worse. Examples of fiction in this style are:
- Neuromancer (book, love it)
- Blindsight (book)
- Quasimorph (video game)
- The Gap Cycle (interesting setting wasted on a weak series of books)
- Mothership
- Death in Space
I own both Mothership and Death in Space and they are good games, but they are a bit too thin setting wise and rules wise. I would love to run a longer sandbox campaign in the style of Quasimorph - a group of mercenaries on their own big ship traveling through a star system and completing contracts from shady corporations and gangsters. But longer campaigns IMHO require a robust advancement system for PCs, which neither game has. What I mean by that: some special abilities, rules for hacking and cyberware, weapon modification, upgrading your ship, some talents or feats etc. Some random tables for generating worlds, ships, encounters, npcs also would be nice.
Is there a ttrpg with a setting like this that has a lot of "meat" on its bones mechanically speaking?

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.

just feeling a bit frustrated and need to vent, so please forgive bad formatting as I’m on mobile
Ive been attempting to find some people to play ttrpgs with. I knew it would be a bit difficult to find people outside of 5e but I was willing to try. I know it’s possible ofc. I listed a few, like Savage Worlds and Mork Borg. maybe I went wrong by saying I didn’t want to dm? as someone whose been a gm for a years, I just want to play a bit.
it doesnt help that I’m quite shy and introverted. I had posted to a local game store discord group… nothing. I had posted to a local facebook group…. post denied with no explanation. im considering looking into online games but I’m not a fan of that, after playing on roll20 for a few years.
I do play solo games before anyone suggests that and very much enjoy it, but I’d like to find a dedicated group. I realized recently that this is my main hobby and having my friends play when they don’t care about the game and only play to hang out has been hurting my enjoyment. I still play with them, but its so far and few in between. frequent sessions with them are not possible. hopefully some folks here understand where I’m coming from
if someone could offer me advice on what I should attempt, I’d be grateful.
edit:
thank you to everyone who posted their advice. im going to try a different approach and try to run a game or give 5e another shot and join that game. If neither of those work out, online gaming will happen. i always enjoy browsing the rpg community and knew I would get some solid answers.

I've been wondering how to run Stealth in Righteous Blood Ruthless Blades that isn't just opposed rolls.
I like the sorta fluffy nature of the game where there's no specific "sneak skill" which makes it more contextual to the player's strengths and helps incentivize their approach to stealth situations other than, "Roll sneak skill". but the rulebook also doesn't recommend any ways to adjudicate stealth and detection.
Something I've been considering is using the Evade skill against an NPC's Detect. Evade creates the TN that the NPC must pass to determine if they detect you in a scenario where you could be spotted. In group scenarios, the member with the highest Evade stat is used, but each member attempting to stealth with them incurs a -1 Evade penalty against the Detect roll. So if you have a person with an Evade of 10, and 5 of the party members are trying to sneak across the courtyard with you, the NPC guards would roll Detect against a TN of 5. This can be used to strategize; if someone with Low Evade attempts to sneak with someone with higher Evade, then they can avoid having their low stats dictate how the stealth encounter happens. But the more of a crutch the party becomes on this high evade character the higher chance of getting caught, encouraging unique ways to try and get around situations.
But I'm wondering if anyone else has used this system and adjuciated Stealth. How did you manage it in RBRB?

As someone who has been running Delta Green for a while (as well as playing call of cthulhu occasionally) I really like BRP and its children a lot. In the past I have not been as big on running fantasy systems, but I have become more warm to the idea as of late, and I am thinking about giving Runequest a go. Has anyone played or ran the newest edition, and is the game supported well or is the assumption that you are writing adventures for the game?

Recently wrote a similar question to the glorantha reddit because I’ve been looking for a cool setting and heard nothing but good things about glorantha. Although Im still curious,regardless of the genre what are some good settings to run a sandboxish campaign in.
As an avid reader I would love a setting that has a lot info for me to read but lighter settings are also welcome.
I am asking for things other than golarion and forgotten realms they are already quite well known and I want a different setting even if its fantasy.

My group is looking to try a new game. We have played Dnd 5e, Call of Cthulhu & Pulp Cthulhu, and the old 1st edition Star Wars from the 80s. Almost all the players have GMed before. We will pick who wants to run it after we pick a game.
We are looking for something in the western or scifi genres that allows alot of character development in the story. Supernatural/magicl elements are fine as long as there is a believable world.
We looked into Traveler but 1 player wasn't interested in the progression system. If you like this game, please give me perspectives that might explain it better to people who have never played.
TIA!

I am a begginer GM who is in search of RPG where players play cops, i want the universe to be a satire of the police officers.
Something like The Naked Gun if you seen it ; commical absurd, a universe where cops are either stupid or corrupt or both and they are doing some whacky and fun mission.
Is something like that exist ? Or what am i demanding and asking for something too specific.
If it doesn't exist, i would love to create it
