Zombies, impending infection, ordinary citizens woth unique skills thrust into an Outbreak from the most affluent Pharmaceutical company in the world.

I may be a bit of a.... collector at this point. I own rulebooks for like a dozen different TTRPG's, including the bigger ones and multiple versions of those, random solo games, indie games, even a big book of 25+ one shot standalone games.

The problem is that I literally don't even have a gaming group to play with. I haven't even ACTUALLY played D&D in over 10 years.

Just bought Slugblaster and Ion Heart at Pax West today and I'm stoked about them (especially Ion Heart as I might actually get to play it. lol) but I already know I won't be playing any group campaigns any time soon.

If you learn how to control Fire in The Era Of The Elementals then you too will be able to use all of these techniques in and out of battle! Or you can check out the hundreds of other Elemental Techniques that the other elements use.

Looking for more games that use dice drop generation - IE you drop the dice on paper and depending on the dice results and where they physically land on the paper, that determines how the map turns out. Usually it's for map creation, but I'm interested in this procedure for generating other things like faction dynamics (which Into the Cess and Citadel does). The ones I'm aware of at this point are Cairn 2e, Pirate Borg, Charles Ferguson Avery (Feral Indie Studios) has a bunch - Into the Cess and Citadel as mentioned, Into the Weird and Wyld, and Vast in the Dark... I'm sure that's just scratching the surface, though.

Anyway, I really like this procedure and am looking for more. Drop some recommendations, please and thank you!

Hey so a some years ago I made a very basic ttrpg when a game i was interested in was.....not what i wanted i guess.....

If any of you are familiar with Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE you may know that it was originally pitched as an SMT and Fire Emblem crossover, and that it ended up being....not really like either one. When it came out I decided to try it myself, but lacking any skill with coding i tried my hand at a ttrpg.

It is untested and I dont know much about how balanced it is, plus i never was able to figure out how to upload modifiable grids to show weapon ranges, but i tried to make it all fun and usable otherwise. Having said that it is called Familiar Fate and i will now try to pitch it to you like the blurbs on the backs of ps2 games.

Crisp, brown leaves crunch underneath your feet as you climb a small hill, the wafting scent of cinnamon and apples on the wind luring you upward, along a dirt path. As you crest the hilltop, you're met with the sight of a small orchard with two buildings sitting adjacent. Birds caw nosily from the field, pecking at fallen apples beneath the base of the trees. Other travelers wander to and from the building on the left; those leaving carrying armfuls of jars and pies. Your stomachs grumble, and you press on towards the farm.

This apple orchard map is 20x30 200DPI, and comes with three variants: Autumn, basic (which has an autumnal tint, but is not overwhelmed with orange hues) and horror, which is a desaturated gloomy version fit for any spooky campaign.

If you'd like to download them free, you can here.

Subscribers can get versions that are non-gridded and non-watermarked + PNG and WEBP files of individual components (tiers 2-4).

This map is made entirely with ItsJustWitchAssets and many of these assets will be available in this month's asset pack.

Enjoy the maps! Happy gaming, stay magical ~

Hello everybody! :)

If you like action-packed anime series, this game is made for you. 🙂 It is not a JRPG simulator, nor is it simply an anime-style skin for a well-known game engine.

It was built from the ground up to make anime storytelling part of the game itself, helping you think and play like you are in a series.

My game's campaign is starting soon in September. 🤞

Thank you for taking a look at it. 🤘🤘

QUICKSTART for FREE! :)

Anyone?

My family gets together for most major holidays, and they have some interest in DnD, but I don't have the free time to do DM prep or interest in DMing vs getting to be a PC.

I was watching a video recently that mentioned that way back in the day, most table top wargames and rpgs were games-in-a-box that was standalone and didn't require anything else (think necromunda in the 80s or hero quest).

However, a lot of games like that are super complicated and don't appeal to those who are just more casual board game fans, like my family. They all really like Betrayal at the House on the Hill, so I've been trying to think of other board games in a box that would be similar, but also have a leveling up system, that maybe slowly introduces a new mechanic or skill with each level up. But still on the same order of complexity as betrayal.

As well as ideally a shorter runtime for a game or session. 2 hours absolute max, and preference for 60 min or ideally 30 (or less).

Any help appreciated!

We're making a TTRPG - d100 roll-under, player-facing rolls, zones instead of grid cells. Setting is dieselpunk. An armada of 100 ships tried to reach the wall of the Eternal Storm. 30 made it through. Players and their characters explore the new continent and keep coming back to the drifting Chained City (those 30 ships, lashed together).

Characters get a bunch of abilities, and during playtesting we found out teamwork combos are super duper fun even simple ones.

Example: one ability lets you spend a quick action to watch a zone, if an enemy enters or leaves it, you get a free(kinda) shot as a reaction. There's also a Push manifestation (kinda magic). So one character pushes an enemy into the watched zone and triggers the other player's reaction. Or pushes an enemy into a bunch of other enemies right before someone throws a grenade. (players always act in same turn)

It genuinely feels like teamwork, not just everyone does their own thing. There's also a simple dimple Help action that grants a bonus, but I want more of that built-in reasons for characters to set each other up.

Would love to hear how your systems encourage this kind of combo play. Any mechanics, ability designs, or just raw ideas welcome.

Hello! I'm Marco Calesella from Winged Lion Games. Unlike our previous projects, which we revealed only when they were nearly complete, we have decided to make the development diary for the second edition of the Space Western role-playing game *Deep Sky Ballad* publicly available. Every week, we will share ideas, impressions, presentations, and prototypes covering all aspects of the game’s development, from gameplay mechanics to setting and art direction, including PDF files of the alpha version of the rules in both English and Italian. The diary (in English) is hosted on Patreon, but all the material is freely accessible to all visitors without requiring a subscription. We are doing this because we want you to be part of our journey, and we would love to hear your feedback on any aspect of the project. We plan to work steadily on everything for at least the next two years before considering a release. So please visit the page, read and study the material, and if you like it, follow us and leave your comments! Thank you!

So, in the game I am working on (Hallowed: Saints and Heretics), classes are divided into two.

First, you have the saints. If you choose to follow one of the seven gods, your character belongs to the saints. For instance, Alarin is the god of fire and light. As his follower, you can either choose the Lightbringer (light-based attacks, purity, a bit paladin-like) or the Fire Mage (self-explanatory, fire spells, has the most mana to cast spells, eventually can fuel spells also with HP). Similarly, the god of time and death (Deramen) either makes you a prophet (foretelling, time spells etc.) or an inquisitor (basically a divine executioner, death-related spells, spell cancellation etc.)

On the other hand, you have the heretics. The witch for instance has no patrons, but has powers (spells, illusions, shapshifting etc.) from studying the Outer Darkness (home of dark "gods"). You also have the occultist who does have some kind of patron in the form of an Outer Being (Sanguine Mother, Ta'qir, Xarthar). The occultist's patron gives them sub-classes, but the occultist has base abilities as well.

What do you think about this system of mine? Does it make sense?

Their are some people that are abusing rpgs claiming they are theraputic sessions to help people with trauma, this kind of thinking invites crazy people into the hobby who abuse others to exploit their innocence, if you see people using the hobby as a reason to mentally diagnois people that is abuse faking as empathy, call them out for everyones safety.

Been watching a ton of Quinn’s quest and I’m itching to get more videos to watch about indies. Any suggestions?

By game engines, I mean straight up system books such as GURPS, BRP core rulebooks. I'm just looking to hear from people who have read manuals like those, and am curious what you get out of them that you couldn't get out of just reading the rules for a game using that system.

This isn't me trying to slam them down or say it's pointless or anything. I'm curious because I want to expand my knowledge and am wondering what the best ways to do it are.

Keen to hear any and all perspectives.

Ive got 3d boards for city streets, construction site and a subway system. Looking to run a mostly combat focused oneshot inspired by Bubblegum Crisis in 3 acts.

Any help or inspiration would be appreciated.
