Great time at @rpgbirmingham.bsky.social this week. The GM of our Lancer campaign wasn't well so we played a one-shot of Cairn. Lots of pigs, goblins and slimy tentacles.

"Nobody is discriminating against LGBTQI+"

What a silly and untrue statement
It is. They make us nurses very happy
Root is so good! The dynamics between the four factions are so intriguing. Really wanna try the TTRPG
Couldn't attend @rpgbirmingham.bsky.social last week coz of a chest infection so missed Lancer 😢

Looking forward to getting back this week. Sounds like the rest of the gang got themselves in some bother during my absence . . .

More Forbidden Psalm fun last night as we tried (with varying success) to stop a bunch of farmyard animals from summoning evil nasties.

Brilliantly crazy scenario. Love this game

Thanks for the input! This campaign will actually be coming right after the Lancer one we're playing now 🙂

You're absolutely right about players but I won't know exactly who I've got until shortly before coz of how our wider group organises
Looking forward to this. Really clever conceit
Interesting ideas, thanks! I own Ryuutama but have never played it; maybe now is the time?
Most of the shortlist was either a FitD (Teeth, Court of Blades) or PbtA (Sword, Crown & Unspeakable Power, The Sprawl) game but they don't handle big tables well ime
OSE is a good shout. I've got a ton of modules for it sitting on the bookshelf too
Not really. The group are happy to go with whatever.

Prefer running exploration-based or storygames to anything big on tactical combat generally.

In terms of vibe or genre I'm open to anything other than superhero.

So pretty much a blank slate right now as long as it handles 6 players okay
#ttrpg folks, I need some ideas.

The next campaign I GM is now gonna have to accommodate 6 players. This is too many for most of the games I've shortlisted.

What games work well at this player count?
Yeah FB is awful. If it wasn't for a couple of (private) hobby-related groups I'm in and still enjoy, my account would've been deactivated long ago
Love GKG. One of my group really wanted to try DMing but was a bit intimidated by all of the systems she knew. Lent her Tiny Dungeons and now she's flying.

That's a big recommendation in my book

Just leaving this here 💙 Today is #TimeToTalk Day, take action and share this post to remind others that it's okay to reach out for help 💭
This seems like a really interesting fusion of tactical combat and storygaming. Worth a back if that idea tickles your fancy 🙂

Played Dungeon Crawl Classics by @goodmangames.bsky.social for the first time last week.

Good fun session. We were messing around a bit too much to properly evaluate the system, but defo open to playing it again.

Sidereal Confluence. Plays up to 9. It's the game I thought Cosmic Encounters was going to be (although CE is still really fun)
Tonight's game of #ForbiddenPsalm became an absolute bloodbath as both warbands were set upon by ghouls whilst foraging for fungus.

I lost a man and my friend had her whole crew wiped out! Great chaotic fun as always with this game
