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.

IIRC, Armor Class reflected how hard a particular warship was to hit.

Hello, I’m looking for settings where you play as a regular person in a modern setting that has to deal with supernatural events like in the world of darkness books. Any recommendations, especially indie games? (Tight budget)

See title.

General question for the group.

What is your opinion of players giving themselves a supporting cast at CharGen? By supporting cast I many or all of the following: animal companion, sidekick, mentor, lover, family member(s).

I know this is something I have been extremely guilty of myself. Just curious what other players or GM felt on the subject.

Hey y'all!

I've been reading about different TTRPGs out there and decided to buy The Between (preview edition) based off of the reviews on here! Reading thru it I noticed they reference "dark sexual themes" in the content warnings. Is anyone able to tell me how prevalent or descriptive these are in game? I am trying to see if this would be a good fit for me and my party! I personally am not currently worried about spoilers for this specific topic and thank you in advance for any info you can give!

I'm a little new to TTRPGs and I want to start DMing my own campaign! I already have plans for the story I want to tell but I'm having trouble finding a TTRPG system for it.

It's going to be technology/horror based but most of the Sci-Fi TTRPGs I've seen are largely based off of space and space exploration, which my campaign won't have any of. For more context: if anyone knows the game, my campaign will be heavily inspired off of Rain World.

Are there any good TTRPGs you guys would recommend for a Non-Space centered story?

I'm writing an investigation RPG and I'm thinking about how the adventures are going to be written. Most mystery stories I've seen (from RPGs or otherwise) start with one of three things:

• Someone has been murdered
• Someone is missing
• Something has been stolen

I'm wondering if anyone has examples/ideas for other ways to start out an investigation.

Had a close TPK last session and thought of taking a TPK party on a post-death adventure. Has anyone done this? Do you happen to know of anything published for such an occasion? I saw one for Mork Borg.

This week's RPG is Cyberpunk Red!

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

What's your favourite memory from the game?

What is the best thing about this game?

What is the worst? How would you improve it?

How does it compare to previous versions?

Hello!

So I really like running RPG’s, but very specific ones?

Like I really like dread one because I’m a horror girlie to my core but more so because it’s so rules light that I can create any story I want with it.

I find DND aggravating because of all the movement, spells, items, etc to keep track of with all the different values and I also don’t like how you’re kinda soft locked into fantasy. I also look at other ttrpg’s and they are very specific to the story you can tell (like if you run RPG A you have to have a story about investigators uncovering something ig?)

With dread I’m able to do literally any concept and I have a complete control over the world, the enemies, and I don’t have to worry about so what does this rule in section a of part b say?

So basically: I’m looking for TTRPG’s with an extremely simple rule set, that’s very versatile, can handle different concepts whether it be cosmic horror or slasher (I’d also appreciate some that can handle non horror situations), and that I have a very firm control over without having to consult a bunch of books all the time (And bonus points for a system that can do death game scenarios a la Alice in borderland, Danganronpa, zero escape, etc because I want to run a death game SO bad)

So, I'm writing a plot for my new campaign. I really wanted to do something based on commedia dell'arte, vintage circuses, carnivals...and also horror.
My main idea is: The Pg's were originally monsters decades ago. These monsters were used in a circus as "toys", until they rebelled and fought against their oppressors. They soon found out they could assume human forms by eating human flesh, and if they continue doing so, their body will be immortal, just like their souls. They have died multiple times and reincarnated, but now found a way to keep their souls on one body.
Since their suffering came from being the "freaks" at the circus, they decided to replicate that with humans, showcasing their bodies as if they were abominations.
Long story short: They are performers at a Circus and also "cannibal" serial killers.

The thing is...How do I create conflict?

I know this is more of a writing question than RPG one, but I know a lot of GMS write their own stories and go through this part of creating conflict.
How can I make their lives harder significantly?
Also, I'd prefer things that are meaningful other than just bounty hunters, heroes, whatever.

I don't know if it helps, but some extra info is: They spent years alone with each other and know most of them hate each other. They have a "mother" that they need to feed and obey, she's the "leader" of the circus, she's kind of manipulative and controlling. They get hungry and normal food doesn't satisfy them, only human fear, anguish and hatred.

If you have any ideas, feel free to change somethings for the purpose of creating conflict.
