I mentioned earlier how certain builds in LANCER can give players tremendous problem-solving power in certain types of missions. I think 11dragonkid demonstrates this quite well with this LANCER battle report, in which teleport beacons conquer all.

Wow. People like to fight ...in tactical RPGs. So let's talk about our favourite tactical turns of fate in our games shall we?

"The Worst Witch" by Jill Murphy...

Metafold, Part 2 The stars...are not where they should be. Aegis stutters as a hundred thousand kilometers of light-lag throw her Omninet-to-realspace connections into confusion. The fleet legion is briefly silent. It takes a full three seconds for her to realise what is happening. On the...

Totally Fungible Tokens??

No, not RWBY!

There's a lot more exercise of personal creativity and decision-making than any single-player CRPG like Dragon Age or Mass Effect. You end a session of The Wretched with an artifact of roleplaying - of your personal created experience - that you would not have had without the game. Like this...

My countryman, Youtuber Dragonkid11, has done videos covering all of the games I mentioned, check them out! ICON Gubat Banwa LANCER LANCER: Battlegroup

If Solitaire is a game, then so is The Wretched, or Thousand Year Old Vampire.

And I will add that LANCER, ICON and Gubat Banwa all play on a grid (LANCER also works well on hexes) and all have different "powers" chosen at each level (and more mix-and-match modularity than 4e did). They're true successors to 4e and it always annoys me that people talk about them like they...

I was splitting my response between you and @GMMichael - apologies for the confusion...

Agreed about the LARPs - there is plenty of overlap with the RPGs played at the tabletop. That said, there are plenty of GMless games (such as The Quiet Year, Dream Askew/Apart and the whole genre of Belonging Outside Belonging games) that have specific mechanical interaction, but no dice or...

Stolen Crown for Lancer and that Shanty Hunter game look really good - I love indie rpgs with that kind of sense of place and atmosphere...

Of course. If you were 12 years old when Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was published, you're 36 years old today. The original readers are adult geeks, hopefully with money to spend on D&D products that evoke that milieu.

Metafold, Part 1 Caspian watches with satisfaction as the crippled Shaka Zulu tumbles out of control from the momentum imparted by the hit. The massive warship seems to flex along the axis of the impact as lights begin to wink out along its hull. Then it begins to break up, the entire bow...

True, it drags out quite a bit and there are a lot of quirks in the rules. GF9 is also making a newer revision of the game, for up to 4 players with shorter gameplay, in conjunction with the movie release. Link here: Dune: A Game of Conquest and Diplomacy

Maybe the bard business has gone full gangster, and someone wants you to whack another bard for creating a particularly insulting diss track.

I'm cool with providing players accurate information about things like CR (not before the encounter, unless they get to scope out the opposition first through information gathering, but certainly once the encounter starts), but CR in 1e isn't the best gauge of difficulty, so I'd be more...

Deities and eldritch powers no longer able to influence individuals except through warlock pacts? No more imbuings of divine favour or breeding of sorcerous bloodlines? More varieties of warlock pacts would have to be made. More eldritch beings in competition for suitable warlocks could lead to...
