Ideas. Your group is going to be payed a very large some of money to transport a not very important sleeping vampire across a high fantasy world. -Using magic to disguise the vampire is not ideal as various interested parties can detect magic (but not detect vampires.) -The campaign leans into...

I am finding that as someone with experience in tabletop RPGs with very defined settings (DCC, Zombie World, Cyberpunk Red, Fabula Ultima, and Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition) that I tend to impose limits on what I imagine a tabletop RPG can do. I don’t know if becoming familiar with toolbox RPGs...

I am not entirely sure I understand your post. A newcomer to toolbox RPGs. I assume someone with no background would be interested in a RPG with a developed campaign setting. I really don’t understand this part. Someone interested in a toolbox RPG would be interested in an experience not...

What is a campaign idea to build in Fudge that is comprehensive but straightforward?

What is a campaign idea to build in Fate Core that is comprehensive but straightforward?

I have heard GURPS, Cortex Prime, and Fate (plus others) all called toolbox RPGs. And I have seen criticism about difficulty of use aimed at most of them. But which toolbox RPG does the best explanation for newcomers? What is the best toolbox RPG to use first? And I know the usual advice is to...

I am lost now. Which edition of Dungeons & Dragons is the Pizza Hut edition? (Joking)

Morbid curiosity tempts me to read a tabletop RPG with ai writing in it. But honestly any tabletop with AI hallucinations in it would be really bad.

If the game is based on a fad or something that drastically drops in popularity. I would be surprised if there are people playing the Dallas RPG. Now Indiana Jones would be different as it has a nostalgic appeal for people.

One theme I keep seeing: -New players with a background in computer games have wild unrealistic gamiest and strategist expectations. -New players with a background in novels, movies, and tv shows have wild unrealistic Narrativist expectations . Frankly both incorrect viewpoints of tabletop RPGs...

Maybe it’s people who work as clowns at children’s events that find it so offensive 🤔

Make your own romance RPG with this SRD. (Found this appropriate for the discussion.)

You can get Minecraft Legends for XBox or PC if you have Amazon Prime.

You do understand that there is no way to publish 2E Ravenloft material. The only way to publish Ravenloft material is with 5e in the Dungeon Masters Guild. If you find Gothic Horror roleplaying material " a bone thrown" and a "few slim scraps" towards Ravenloft fans, well.....

There is a lot of horror material in the OSR world. Is it all gothic horror? Not exactly (but things can go gothic if you want.) 2E is tricky because some OSR games SUPPORT it with optional rules.

I don’t see why OSR gets so little credit for fixing (or attempting to fix) what so many edition warriors are upset about. New adventures for prior additions. New setting material for prior additions. New player options for prior additions. New optional rules for prior additions. Attempts at...

Some people disagree with WotC's direction. Some create content favoring their preferences. You may agree with some of these creators and appreciate their work. Some of these creators will have taken directions that you don't like. No creator may take the direction you want. It is a crazy world.
