    Non-combat RPGs?

    Are you looking at something for a long-running game? Or something more short-term? Dread can be an excellent system for non-combat investigating. The resolution mechanism is a Jenga tower and it's straight up amazing how well it works. You can read more here: About Dread the Game Dread I...

    I played Fiasco at Gencon and it was awesome

    It's so quick to play, too. You can easily complete a game in 3 hours (so long as you don't have many distractions). The first book is really all you need to play. The Fiasco Companion is more for people who are interested in writing their own playsets (though, I will say, the advice in the...

    Help Me Build a Hunger Games-Inspired Arena

    Also keep in mind that this is a modern game that I'm running using the Dread RPG (which uses a Jenga tower for conflict resolution and is amazing). There are definitely some fantasy elements, but it's a post-apocalyptic modern world.

    I played Fiasco at Gencon and it was awesome

    Fiasco is, without a doubt, the best RPG I've played in years. It's engrossing and entertaining, but is also challenging. You're telling a story while solving a problem. Scratches an itch I didn't even know I had. Since first playing it a few months ago, I've been busting out a few playsets...

    Sunday PM: A Most Murderous Tea Party (Dread)

    Alice, First President of Wonderland, has ruled the chaotic continent for nearly 20 years when the threats began. Slowly, her governors, advisers, and closest friends are losing their heads in exceptionally unpleasant ways... The sort of happy madness that once permeated the populous of...

    I'm running Dread. A sort of twisted, chaotic Alice in Wonderland spinoff.
