Tabletop Rpg posts, content, and recruitment posts.

Recruitment posts should contain what system is being played, CW for any adult/serious themes players need to be aware of and whether a game is beginner friendly.

An obvious reminder of no racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia.

Emphasis on small independent rpgs like the ones in the TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Texas but not against dnd stuff.

Title kinda says it all.

I have Foundry so that's sweet. Oh yeah, and don't be afraid to recommend me some obscure ones as well as popular ones.

Let's see... I like Star Wars, Appalachia, labor movement, Star Trek, the Pathfindner games by Owlcat, Warhammer 40k (syke! but I may get into it due to its increased popularity recently), Arthurian legends, Lord Dunsany, horror, foreign shit (like, foreign novels, foreign games, foreign everything), Chinese stuff, Chinese web novels, etc.

What else, what else... Pluto and other space shti? Eh, idk. Africa, non-European fantasy, noir, neurodiversity/autism, desert fantasy, weird fiction, Gothic literature, Nintendo, dwarves, Ottoman empire, pirates, tropical settings, OMORI, ASOIAF book series, Assassin's Creed (ig? back then, but i don't know about now as I haven't played the recent ones), history in general, sociology, Elden Ring, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, anything like the upcoming Dolmenwood TTRPG, and I guess anything like the Enclave TTRPG.

No to: more Viking shit (Viking shit seems to everywhere and I hate it), Orientalist two-dimensional shenanigans, "you can be the bad guys in this setting... even though they're technically the good guys now but with a dark aesthetic to them!," Numenera (I hated the video game), Game of Thrones TV show, zombies, Bethesda Game Studios, and, err, yeah, I'll leave it at that.

So yeah, now that you know what my interests are, how about I dox myself, yeah?

Okay, look down to see what I look like:

Fantasy Flight Star Wars is good for Star Wars
FATE is general purpose, good for anything narrative heavy
there are many i could recommend given the time lol

What is FATE? Also, aren't there two Star Wars TTRPGs? Or do I misunderstand?

[–] WoofWoof91@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

FATE is a rules-light, narrative heavy system, it can be used for pretty much any setting or story you want
there are a few star wars systems, the one i linked is the fantasy flight one, which is the best imo

Funnily, there are at least 3 official Star Wars ttrpgs, the Star Wars d6 system by West End Games from before I got into roleplaying, the Star Wars d20 system by Wizards of the Coast from the 2000s, and the current offerings by Fantasy Flight Gaming. If you don't mind needing to get custom dice, the FFG games are widely considered the best from a moment to moment point of view.

From a certain point of view...
