Hello! I’m looking for a kinda drab hopeless kinda game, low power where the PC’s have to put deep thought into what they do, rules heavy I like my games to be as crunchy as humanly possible along with being Dark Fantasy themed, think Dark Souls, Kingdom Death or Darkest Dungeons vibes.

Suggestions are appreciated as anything I find always seems to be rules light from what I’ve found thus far, I don’t care what engine it is as long as it’s not PBTA style, never could get into that style of gameplay.

Hi! sorry for my bad English but I came here to ask if there was any universal TTRPG with a focus on Sci-fi that is easy to learn and teach and has a simpler combat system that allows all sorts of things like mechs, spaceships, psyonichs, etc

I know many of you are gonna recommend GURPS but, while I personally like the system for its robustness, I don't think it is easy to teach and handle and I would like a TTRPG system that is easy to understand and expand.

GURPS is too much and Fate is too bare bones for my liking and for the setting I want to construct into a TTRPG. I would like something like Chronicles of Darkness (or World of Darkness) but with a Sci-fi focus.

I know this is too much to ask and a little contradictory.

The setting that I want to work on into settings for a TTRPG is a little complex but in short the premise is that a group of technologically advanced humans arrive on 2040s Earth (which still looks like our modern day Earth only lot more miserable and a little bit more advanced in tech but still similar to what we have now) in order to unify it into a single banner and bring justice and dignity to the humans here. There are alien races, laser weapons, synthetics, FTL and the whole sci-fi shabam.

Is there something like in the middle that can work for a premise like that?

sorry if I keep this short I don't want to over expand because its kind of long but you can ask me anything you need.

Hello guys, im currently looking for a TTRPG, to change from dnd, i found one called Wanderhome and i really like the vibe, the art, i think i would really like one with cute anthropomorphic animals going on a journey on a post-war land. But after seeing some review, i dont really like the "no dice" and the fact that players also take story control when they want, i think its a bit too much of a transition and i like to still get the "play" experience.
(sorry for my bad english)

any idea ?

I'm just looking for something to listen/watch while I do other things

I've almost caught up with Critical Role Campaign 4 (only a few hours left!), and I'm looking for another actual ttrpg play to watch cause i'm super in the mood for it atm. And kinda in a way me and my buddies are about to play a ttrpg campaign next month.

What I'm mainly looking for is:

• Strong roleplay and character interactions.
• Great worldbuilding.
• Political intrigue if possible but i'll take it so long it is kinda adventurish.
• Long-form campaigns rather than short series or one-shots. Short series is fine but it has to be several episodes.

While I do prefer DnD as the system they use cause i'm so familiar with it and there are no learning curve on my end by watching them. I do not mind like daggerheart, dragon age or whatever system they use so long it's not too complicated to learn myself.

A couple of preferences (not requirements):

• Around 4 or more players.
• A more serious or character-driven tone. Humor is great, but I'm looking for campaigns where the players really commit to roleplaying.

I do have some prospects when:

1. Gilded Thrones - Bards of Newyork idk some random channel I found which seemed nice but they have really low player count like 3 of them. By minimum I wanted 4 players. Actually I prefer like 5-6 players at minimum. They do roleplaying which is nice
2. MixMaxed this is just a bunch of the weapons/hema martial artists content creators playing dnd from a crowdfund. It's humor heavy but they are clearly just casual players (nothing wrong with this I am one as well) but I do want like tryharding on the roleplay if possible. I had fun with their first episode but it's fairly short as well so I dont think this one is lasting long like a week workout and travelling i'm probably finished with this

Just a minor preference (definitely not a requirement): I'd be interested in campaigns with a female GM/DM.

For context, my favorite GMs are still Brennan Lee Mulligan and Matt Mercer, so this isn't meant as a criticism of them or male GMs in general. It's just that, every now and then, my immersion gets interrupted when a single narrator is voicing characters but kinda sounding the same. It's the same reason I tend to enjoy fully voiced RPGs more than audiobooks.

It's more an immersion preference rather than anything else. Like how i'd rather shadowheart from bg3 sound like her current voice actress than a male voiceactor just to be clear.

Anyways any recommendation ? Thanks !

When you're shopping online for TTRPGs, where do you go? Why?

Bonus Question for those of you who are putting your own stuff out there: Which one of these do you prefer as a producer?

World Cup started a few weeks ago as we all know, and I wanted to play a soccer RPG, so I heard about Fight with Spirit, but Idk if it is the best option to do so.

Any thoughts about it or any recommendations?

My local game group mostly play 3.5e and 5e DnD. We're currently in a multi-year long campaign, and i'll be honest, the sessions has become a bit... dried(?) lately. I think playing the same system for a year, weekly, can cause that. So i'm thinking of stiring things up a little by GMing a different TTRPG system oneshot once a month. Problem is, DnD is still our main system, and making other player learn a whole 300 pages long rulebook doesn't seem to be a very good idea. So i'll need some TTRPG with: short rule (50-150 pages rulebook, less would be even better), easy/fast character creation. A specific theme aren't that importance since they're pretty much in for anything (sci-fi, low/high fantasy, apocalypse, cyberpunk, etc)

I've been wanting to get into some rpgs with my husband and sister in law but it's hard to find some that I feel like all three of us would be interested in. We tend to prefer more non-magical related settings (we like fantasy but we don't like playing with magic. So like no spells/blessings/curses and stuff like that!)

We don't really have much experience with actually playing rpgs so any help and advice is much appreciated 🩷🩷🩷

edit: all of these suggestions are super great and will be looking into them! I wasn't expecting to get so many responses so quickly 😅🫶

So recently we talked a bit about roleplaying in Finland, due to the whole UNESCO living cultural heritage thing. It got me thinking, what's the scene like for you, wherever you're from? Is DnD the biggest game? What other games are played? Do you typically play domestic games or foreign imports (translated or not)? What's your domestic industry like - what kinds of games do designers in your country make? What are your cons like?
