**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.

In my case, it was encountering the skill system in “Unknown Armies” 2E. You essentially make up your own, and they can be pretty descriptive. I felt cheated (“Wait, I have to come up with a skill list?”) until I saw how they were used to describe the character as well as an ability.

You could have a character with “knife,” “slice you into ribbons,” “military combatives: bladed weapon” or “prison shank” and have them all mean the same thing mechanically, but still tell you very different things about the person with the blade in their hand. It was very new to me and was rather eye-opening. What about you?

Me and my girlfriend are in our 20s and living in a small town where nothing ever happens. Our friends all moved out and our old D&D group split up over sum drama. I'm fine with online games but she's more social than me and wants to actually talk to the other players at the same table. We have one game store in town with an lfg channel that's absolutely dead and I never get responses when I post in there so that's a dud and going onto "group finder" apps and sites doesn't work either because this town is low key insignificant. Does anyone know what websites or apps u can meet people on or what kinda places young adults who are into D&D can meet at? Thanks. And I wanna clarify this is not an LFG post im just wondering how ppl find groups nowadays

I would like to have a Cyberpunk game with not as much crunch and hundreds of pages of rules I'd have to remember, and from looking at what is being recommended here I am mostly considering Neon City Overdrive and :Otherscape.

Both seem to be very narrative first in terms of rules and relatively affordable (which is very much a point of consideration for me atm), with :Otherscape being on Humblebundle for a few more days.

So what are the big differences, that would make someone go for one over the other? I know :Otherscape has supernatural elements (which I don't mind at all), are those optional enough that the system still works if you run games without if the group wants a more "default Night City" game?

So my group tried out cyberpunk red, we're all big fans of the 2077 game and had some cool ideas that we wanted to try at the table.

But my players kinda bounced off of the system, there was just too much choice for them. Yeah yeah I know that sounds dumb but from their perspective: because the system let's you build a character however you want, they didn't know what to actually aim for and just felt lost at the lists of cyberware and weapons.

My Tech character ended up making pretty much nothing for the whole game because they were worried about spending their eddies and time making something big when what they Actually needed might change next session, like a kind of "I'll save all my potions because this next boss might be hard but then never use them BUT the next NEXT boss might be hard so I'll save them anyway"

so are there cyberpunk systems with a bit more rails for new players and a bit less emphasis on tracking minutia? classes, vocations, "wanna be a tank? buy these knife hands" kinda thing?

Decent lights and sound, a multi-camera set-up, and a few soundboard-type inserts go a really long way. But what really makes an AP work?

It's a game inspired by action sci-fi anime from the 80s-90s and it sounds exactly like a thing I'd enjoy.

Anyone know if the company behind it is legit?

I am looking for a good digital dice roller that rolls 3d dice, and is preferably online or available on all devices.

Hey guys,

So I'm planning a murder mystery night for my scouts (11-14) for halloween and was wondering if anyone had any ideas. The theme is the 1920's english jamboree where the leader was found dead at the campsite. I have an character card(have more) and story I made:

Name: Theodore Knot
Role: Patrol leader
Appearance: Always wears formal uniform (BH scarf) with a piece of rope for knots (given to him)
Motive: Theodore was pretty upset that the group leader made him and his patrol be duty patrol for two days because he yelled at a leader.
Secret: Theodore heard the leader argue with an unknown person before midnight but the pair walked away before Theodore could see how it was.
Evidence: a duty patrol sheet with Theodore’s patrol listed twice at the top

It's the 1920’s in England, the national scout Jamboree is in full swing, there's Scouts from all across the country here. It’s night, you’ve just come back from a very long day out. You enter your campsite to find your contingent leader dead! From what you know only a handful of scouts and leaders have been at the camp. Your task is to find out who killed the leader before they kill again. Good luck!

Its ideally 1-2 hours long

Hi there! The March of Giants cinematic got my creative juices flowing again, and I’ve been thinking of GMing a game akin to the premise (manmade Giants influenced by our dreams and nightmares that lead armies of humans in an endless war). My first thought was to use the PF2e skirmish ruleset with some of the Giant ancestries, but I’m interested in if there’s any games out there that can fulfill this leader + army fantasy better!

I'm usually prepping a session per week, and I have my methods, but I'm curious what aspect of a session or campaign people start building. Is it a threat, an NPC, a set piece? All the above?

After rewatching cyberpunk: edgerunners, I'm considering playing a cyberpunk ttrpg. My only ttrpg experience so far is playing DnD. The ones I know of are Shadowrun, Cyberpunk RED, and Carbon 2185. I believe Shadowrun is the most popular, however I know that red is set in the same universe as edgerunners, but I also know that carbon uses dnds system so it might make it easier for me to learn. What are the pros and cons of each and are there any other cyoerpunk ttrpgs I should consider?
