Some characters can get powers in Call of Cthulhu. But it may require some… sacrifices 🐙🤣

I played in one once where there was basically NO advancement. Doing something heroic felt amazing, but whew it was dangerous. It also made us value making allegiances because finding monsters without lots of help was end of life.

Why be a normal superhero in a regular world when you could be one in a world where the undead have taken over? Back Rotted Capes: Second Bite by Paradigm Concepts:

Fantasy TTRPGs aren’t always about epic heroism—have you ever played one about ordinary people? How did your party approached it?

What kind of characters do you tend to play in smaller or weirder TTRPGs (vs big ones like #DnD5e)? Why is that?

Let’s find your character’s twin. Post their picture and let’s see if anyone else has inadvertently made their twin.

I really enjoy the idea of an occasional non-standard GM role. I imagine execution is dependent on the table (as usual).

I am asking because I am a little curious about it. Thinking of how it works, what makes them tick, what players love about them, and what games people like.

How do you feel about TTRPGs without a traditional GM? Any favorites?

I love it. The system is as weird as the setting, too.

If your character wrote a journal entry after your last session, what would it say?

10 candles goes without saying. Is it the bleakest? Is death the worst thing that can happen?

What’s the bleakest TTRPG you’ve played — and why did you keep playing it?
