You want to go with a simple game you can run via theatre of the mind - players should not need to learn how to master a VTT to roleplay. Something like For the Queen, Cthulhu Dark, Lasers & Feelings. I teach newbies Cthulhu Dark in a single 4 hour one-shot using Discord audio and text chat...

I agree, 6 players is too much for me whether ftf or online. If one of my core players hadn't seriously vouched for the 5th player to join our online Blades game we would still be going with 4 players and a GM. It's not easy to give enough attention to all the players when you get larger...

My gaming time is very constrained by adult responsibilities so I can't afford to unwind from a high after running a game these days. That said, sometimes I enjoy those moments at the height or tail end of a session, since I try to pace games so that each session is relatively self-contained...

Romance of the Perilous Land has you covered, then!

Boarding Exchange But Bannon has already planned for this. The Shaka Zulu's advanced systems and robust CIC design allow its Fleet Legion to coordinate multi-pronged offensive advances across the entire theater. Targeting data cross-referenced from all three Armory battlegroups is fed to fire...

Helldive Battlegroup Eland: Tactic - Emergency Maneuvers. Battlegroup Eland moves to range 4. The crew of the Nikolai Bukharin simultaneously clench as the massive ship surges forward, its inertial dampeners straining to keep the men and women in place and in one piece, even as the first...

Soul Vessel is good. LANCER uses Soul Vessel for its Lich in the supplement The Long Rim.

I was running FOOD OF THE GODS by Justin Ford, the introductory scenario included in CTHULHU DEEP GREEN, a terrific investigative conspiracy horror ttrpg based on Cthulhu Dark. It's kind of a "Delta Green with the serial numbers filed off." Cthulhu Deep Green can be found here: CTHULHU DEEP...

(Cthulhu Deep Green one-shot) Investigator-on-Investigator cannibalism attempt.

Lasers at a Distance The Wagner's bridge crew tensely watch the data readouts as the ship begins to shudder under the massive strain of its overcharging weapons. There is a certain sense of fatalism to their actions as their fingers dance across their datascreens. Most have already put their...

So this version is going to be about Vimary?

Academic wars! Battles to retain tenure or support from a powerful patron! And there are always threats of assassination from enemies...

My friends are so spread apart, and not all of them have transportation, that it's easier to play online than in person. I might get together with a few of them for a board game at some point, but for RPGs, we're still all doing this through Discord.

Speaking of dice trays, there is one game I can think of that would absolutely need them. Fading Suns, 1st Edition. I still remember playing it in Ohio State U, back in the late 90s. We used pools of d20s. Pools of d20s. They scattered like goblins every time someone rolled a fistful. They...

I have the digital version of ARC, it is gorgeous.

Prayers. Apotheosis. On the Shaka Zulu, the Armory crew members work at a brisk pace, clearing the ship for battle. Strike Captain Bannon is in a foul mood, sweeping through deck after deck on last-minute inspections. The junior officers pass around word that the Union fleet took out an equal...

I can see why I would think that - Eclipse Phase has been free to download since the very beginning of its 1st Edition, but it's been a successful game line up till now.

(Blades in the Dark) Kidnapping on a ghost ship.

Oh, I am so hyped right now about the Southeast Asian team working on THE DAGGER ISLES, which has just been announced as an official supplement for Blades in the Dark. Pam Punzalan (Navathem's End, Public Utility Mechs, Across This Wasteland With You), Sin Posadas (Navathem's End, Lutong Banwa...
