Message: <blockquote data-quote="MNblockhead" data-source="post: 8669485" data-attributes="member: 6796661">Yeah, I try to recommend systems the meet what the OP is asking for. At the same time, I only like to recommend systems I've either played or at least have read through and understand. I also avoid overly niche games.  For example, I love Dialect: A Game About Language and How it Dies.  I've had some very good experiences with that game, but it just isn't for everyone. Also, I don't think it works well as a Beer & Pretzles game, like the OP seems to be asking for.  Also, even through you could absolutely play it online, I feel it is a much better experience in person. And while it is rules light, it is such a different way of playing TTRPGs, it can be harder for some people to grok than another stats and dice game.I also left off GRIN.  It is a TTRPG that has one page of rules and uses a custom deck of cards. I actually used it as part of my 5e game when the players went into the Feywild and I wanted to creat a very different feel to make it feel like an alien and dagerous place where they didn't understand exactly how reality worked and where things felt chaotic.  It is a fun game. And it is free: <a href="https://www.arcana-games.com/_files/ugd/98d507_ca8d6a569cbc441784f7ec28342ebef7.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.arcana-games.com/_files/ugd/98d507_ca8d6a569cbc441784f7ec28342ebef7.pdf</a>. If I were to run it online, I would create digital cards and put them into Foundry using its new card-playing functionality. But that might be more effort than many people would want to deal with.  EDIT: as I was creating this I looked at the rules again.  You can play with a standard 52 deck of playing cards. So you can play on any VTT that support card decks, which will generally come with at least one standard deck for free.  When I played, I bought the specialty deck.  I forgot that you don't need the specialty deck to play.</blockquote>
