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

Kult is soooo good! Watched my first stream of it with Penny for a Tale. It was excellent.

What’s your favorite non-traditional horror setting (like cosmic horror, gothic drama, modern surrealism) in a TTRPG? Which game captures it best?

What’s a TTRPG by a small creator that deserves WAY more love. What's its core vibe?

What’s the creepiest moment you’ve had in a horror-themed TTRPG? What made it stick with you and who was this awesome GM?

On the day that commences my 50th year on this planet (and the 40th of playing RPGs), I start my list of my favourite 101 RPGs that I've played. It's in order.

So we begin with my least favourite RPG of all time.

Drumroll...

My 101 Favourite TTRPGS: 101 - Old Men Running The World

Earlier this year, we saw John Harper on the socials having worked out how many TTRPGs he's played. It was a big number. It made Jim and me sit back and do

Same. I like rules… to get outta the way but also give guidance. Weird.

ZealZaddy 🔜 PaxUnplugged @zealzaddy.bsky.social · 8d

Me too. I want to feel more than think. But an occasional crunch-heavy session can be cool.

I sometimes feel TTRPGs are seen as theater kids versus the mathletes 🤣

If you had to rebuild your favorite D&D character in a non-D&D/Pathfinder (that’s too easy) game, what system would you use? And who is your character?

Do you prefer crunchy mechanics or story-first gameplay in indie TTRPGs? What do you think that says about you?

Explain your favorite unknown TTRPG like I’m five (that’s my mental age). Go!

Its LITERALLY down to the wire BUT www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

If we keep getting people to back (doesnt matter what level just back whaty yuou can) then the timer does not stop!

I love Cypher 1ed and find the changes to 2e are gonna be so damn good for us all.

Cypher: Faster. Easier. And Even Better!

The award-winning TTRPG perfect for forging the stories YOU want to play. Lightning-quick character generation. Super easy to GM. Unique and imaginative campaigns. And all the flexibility, story focus...
