But I couldn't help but think: isn't that kinda the point?

With a game like the DCCRPG, I feel that the fun comes from making your own Crawler, putting them through the wringer to experience the world Dungeon from another perspective.

If you just wanted to reenact the main DCC story, I feel that you'd just want to re-read (or listen) to the books, no?

I don't wanna yuck anyone's yum, but I was honestly shocked that people wouldn't want to make their own unique Crawler. Or if they re-created the characters, things didn't happen just like it did in the books.

I came into the hobby almost 10 years ago, and by then digital distribution was already in full swing with platforms like DriveThru, Itch, and publishers' own storefronts like Paizo's, but every now and again I get curious about the earlier era of RPGs that predate that online distribution model, particularly from companies that did not stick around to officially re-release their books on the internet, leaving them only as physical secondhand purchases on the likes of eBay, or as unofficial digital scans.

Any noteworthy or obscure gems hidden away in the forgotten recesses of the 90s or 80s you'd wanna share?

I recently bought the OG Starter Set for One Ring, the Hobbit one. Mainly running it for my in laws and partner who are really into LOTR. I'm running it soon, but I was doing some reading and found this isn't the most recent set. I can pick up the second relatively cheaply and I can see people saying its the better of the two? Any thoughts on that?

And then if I want to pick up more stuff I may wait for the revised core rules on the backerkit campaign I guess.

I am looking to create a potable and if possible good combat system for Werewolf the Apocalypse after seeing this meme.

In order to do this I first need to research and see what is out there already. So I come back to my title. What game has the best tactical combat?

By best I mean games that you feel the best playing. This is a bit subjective and I hope broadens the possible answers. As well some game might have elements that are excellent while other things are adequate or even bad.

2 possible games I have played where the combat felt good:

• Pathfinder. Pretty crunchy but not too excessive, good enough variety of options but not obtrusive when playing.
• L5R 5e. The stances made it rather varied and made you think things through, as well the whole system allowed non-combat focused character be capable of helping without being totally useless nor stealing the thunder of martial focused characters. Not really tactical given the range band system but some elements were very good.

Exalted 3e has some interesting ideas, specifically the stunt system enables the players to do some fun and stupid shit without feeling like it's gonna bite them in the ass. However the combat has way to many layers of rolling dice and procedures, which I understand is important for it's feel but it's not my idea.

I have heard that lancer is very good and makes the management of heat and the customizability of each mech very fulfilling.

So yeah, what game do you think has the best tactical combat? and what combat elements in games do you think are cool and fun?

Hi! I been wanting to get some family members into rpgs but they arent great with english sadly. So are there any systems that have been fully translated into hungarian and or were written in hungarian from the beginning?

At least for me, we usually jump a lot between different systems, play very "slow", lots of oneshots, and the system we have played for a while aren't really games you become super powerful in, like Dragonbane.

So, I was wondering, what's been the most power you have been able to wield in a game?

"The long way to a small angry planet" by Becky Chambers is one of my favourite books of all time, so I wanted to see if there is a ttrpg with similar vibes.

At its core, it's a scifi story about a group of people travelling to a planet and the stops they make along that journey.

Specifically what I'm looking for:

- very unique/interesting/creative species that aren't just redoing common tropes

- gameplay focused around encountering places and beings along a journey

- strong worldbuilding

Closest I could think of might be Wildsea, but I haven't looked too close into that yet.

Any other recommendations?

Why did they stick?

I'm a big Avatar fan and recently I found out there's an Avatar Legends TTRPG and, like the financially responsible adult that I am, I ordered the Core Rules book from my local store.

From what a more experienced player in my DnD group explained, this game seems to be more focused on the narrative than on combat, which is something I'm really excited about. We're already forming a group and as the one to buy the game I'm working under the assumption that I'll be the GM.

I already have a couple of dice sets for 40k and DnD but is there something else I should be aware of? I see there's a few expansions available but I didn't want to overinvest in the game before finding out if I'll actually like it.
