So one of the things I've had struggles with in our group is getting players to talk with each other and to strategize together. Often, each player is a miniature silo telling me what each is doing without any interaction or cooperation with other players. Pretty frustrating, especially when I...

Many starter sets are starting to include a solo play adventure as part of the mix, and some games (notably Call of Cthulhu) have been releasing solo adventures for some time. If you use solo materials, how do you use them? Pick as many answers as apply. If you want, elaborate on how...

Choose as many options as you want: Why do you use online tools to TTRPG?

Since the pandemic, a lot of people have switched over to virtual tabletop. Curious to know how popular electronic play is comparing to in-person a few years later. Tell us your story if it's not covered in the options! Note: For purposes of the poll, VTT = "online," so that Discord and even...

So, new Players Handbook, DMG and shortly the Monster Manual for 5e. Lots of alternatives for retroclones, variations and older editions. How likely are you to jump into D&D for your next game?

So this poll spins off from our other recent poll on how "overpowered" your character needs to feel to enjoy a system. Here we are selecting the element that make your player feel so "weak" that you don't wish to continue the game/system. These will have some extreme choices just for...

For this one, just a simple "what is the average age of your groups?" If you have multiple groups with different ranges, go ahead and select multiple ranges.

So this one seems to be coming up more frequently in other discussions, especially as regards players comparing new games to D&D, so I am going to phrase this very "carefully" :ROFLMAO: How important is it for you or your players to feel their characters can basically RTFLPWN enemies? I say...

Ok, and just a temperature check on how eager or not folks are to trying a new system or game. Add comments as you like!

Ok so we did the rejecting systems poll. Now, for those who have changed, what prompted you? Add your own reason if it isn’t listed! 😊

Well, since this discussion is going on in another thread, thought it might be interesting to do a poll. Pick as many as apply to your group or players, feel free to add your reasons if they aren't captured!

Has anyone ever done a family tree for RPGs over time similar to the ones done for computer programming languages awhile back? It’d be an interesting visual.

Ok, so this is driving me a little crazy. There’s a picture in 5e somewhere of people unloading crates from ships from what I thought was the Saltmarsh docks. It’s sort of low perspective looking up showing a bustling docks. For the life of me I can’t find that picture. I thought it was in...

This is the fourth in a series of polls gauging the overall temperature of the community and how well they are enjoying the games they play. Thanks for all the great responses and discussion so far! This fourth question drills down and expands on some of the previous feedback on how happy folks...

Just curious if anyone else would be interested in a 2nd edition of RQG. I love the system and we played it for a 3-year campaign but thinking it could use a bit of section reorganizing for clarity and some rule clarity in places. I think the character backstory piece could use some reworking...
