Exploration and discovery are pretty central for me - for wilderness, dungeons and cities in equal terms. I tend so sort "Solving Mysteries" into this bucket, too. Also I enjoy friendly banter, both within the party and with important NPCs. Can be combined with a bit of drinking and gambling in...

Even when I still played at the table, I rarely played more than 4-5h (we did play 6-8h in one group and play would often became rather unfocused in the second half, but then I'm also an introvert and social interaction, no matter how much I enjoy it, drains my battery rather quickly past a...

For online games, I also prefer 2.5-3 hours of gaming (plus maybe half an hour for socializing). But the nice thing about these shorter sessions is that they are easier to fit into an adult schedule. At least in my groups (all online), most people play at least once every two weeks (and many...

Shadowrun 2e. Not necessarily for availability (there's both enough books on the used market and a PDF with a scanned version on DriveThruRPG), but rather as a basis for people to evolve its rule set just like newer OSR titles emerged from the D&D retro clones. Would obviously require an open...

Interesting! Lots of movement in the VTT space recently, it seems.

Shh! Don't tell them about the Secret Brotherhood of the Xennials! ;)

I can relate - I have a few days off this week, so right now I'm looking again at all the AD&D boxes, the D&D3e books, WFRP 2e and other stuff from that era. A lot of it I bought back between 2015 and 2020, imagining myself to run these games again. But effectively, they are just dust traps. And...

Honestly, that's one of my main complaints about RPG texts: the fonts are so bloody small! 😄 (yes, I am specifically looking at you, The One Ring 2e)

I'm personally a bit ambivalent about the amount of content published for WFRP 4e, but I do like that they published a lot of smaller adventures. So if you don't want to take on the massive Enemy Within campaign, there's still a good amount of support for GMs running the game.

To continue a bit in the spirit of the OP: The spell Mordenkainen's Magnificent Mansion gets renamed to Mordenkainen's Medium-Sized Condomium, because few Millenial Wizards can afford more than that Good- and neutrally aligned bards can choose between playing Grunge, Goth Rock or Metal; evil...

Somewhat related 😉

I do agree that there's a special energy when you play at the table with the right group. But, a bit similar to your case (though a lot less extreme), I no longer had that on a regular basis with my old in-person group before the pandemic. And if I wanted to play a new system, I had to introduce...

I'll say yes, RPGs are still one of my favourite hobbies. There is a catch, though - you might have to switch to online play (that's what made a major difference for me), and if online play isn't for you, that might be a much harder nut to crack. I can provide more details, or even answer some...
