Hey all,

I'm new here and I wanted to start a discussion about TTRPGs that people enjoy. I really like seeing people talk passionately about those sorts of things. I'm, personally, a big fan of games by Jenna Moran (Nobilis, Glitch, etc) and have a lot of positive experience with certain Powered by the Apocalypse Games. I'm also fascinated by a lot of OSR content because I feel like it has the potential to capture some of the more interesting parts of early D&D (my partner and I discuss AD&D quite a bit).

I used to write homebrew for Exalted and I've played some WoD games, but it's not my true passion, except maybe for Changeling the Lost. I had a long-running game of Ars Magica 5e a while ago, which was a tremendous experience and really ignited my interest in more dense, bean-countery games that I had previously been discounting in favor of lighter, more narrative-drama experiences.

I'm not as big a fan of D&D as some, but my partner and I did meet because of 3.5e homebrew, so I do have some positive nostalgia.

Anyway, what about you- what TTRPGs are you interested in? Which ones have you had long or interesting games with? What are you looking forward to playing, or setting up to play?

I have mainly played DnD 5e, Mouse Guard and some amount of one-shot systems but my first ttrpg was somewhat surprisingly Dungeon World. I also love to run long campaigns based on published adventures or random tables, having something to bounce ideas against is must for my game mastering style.

After I get one of my DnD 5e campaigns to conclude I will pick something from the following list:

One-Shots that I want to visit again:

  • Ten Candles
  • Microscope
  • Fiasco
  • Alice is Missing

Shorter Campaigns (~10 sessions) I wish to run:

  • Blades in the Dark
  • Vaesen
  • Pendragon 6e Starter Set
  • something using Yoon Suin campaign setting or at least it's random tables, (maybe even Praedor, a Finnish fantasy RPG.)

Microscope is a really fun system one you could easily use to establish details for a follow up short campaign in BitD or Pendragon. 6e Pendragon looks really fun, the Passions is a cool mechanic
