This is a higher tech setting and the party is stopped for Airship repairs.
Druid Player: I guess I'll check what she's watching before I mess with the TV. What's on?
GM: Okay so it's an anime about cows that turn into magical girls to fight bad guys. It's called Sailor Moo.
Druid Player: Alright, screw my plans. My character sits down and takes notes.
GM:.....notes on what exactly?
Druid: "Wow these are such cool druids, I wonder if I can learn their techniques."
GM: Tell you what, if you ever transform into a cow if you roll perfect on a d100 I will let you be a magical girl cow.

Just got reminded of my homebrew dungeon world setting I never got around to running where the bit was that the whole world was a cosmically massive labyrinthine super structure built by god to imprison the cosmology's satan figure, a literal Dungeon World, and all the monsters and magic and rpg shit were like emanations from the imprisoned satan guy and the shit keeping him locked down.
Any way i think dwarves in this setting would be cosmically radical prison abolitionists who dig cause they're trying to free the devil from hell

Dungeonhack
Tumblr media
So this is what I have been working on lately. I know some may roll your eyes at this, but here it goes: Dungeonhack is a homage to the tabletop games that ignited my passion for roleplaying. It cleverly fuses the story-driven and player-centric approach of PbtA games with the familiar and reliable framework of d20 fantasy games (D&D). As I delve into crafting the second edition of Chimera, I felt compelled to revisit Dungeonhack and share it with a wider audience, hoping to inspire more gamers that like crunchy systems to try PbtA games. If you're interested in hearing more, just let me know, and I'll be happy to share additional details about the process.

say, i heard you reblog a post about role playing games. do you happen to know of any ones that i, a beginner, could feasibly get into in this day and age? i tried DnD but a combination of not having anybody to play with (whether irl or online) and a dissatisfaction with low level boringness kind of made it fizzle out for me
oh hey an ask from 3 months ago that I didn't even see. hi.
ANYWAY. First things first, i cannot recommend @theresattrpgforthat enough. Ain't nobody better at recommending rpgs than that blog right there. Now, on to my thoughts.
If you want a DnD-like rpg, Pathfinder 2nd Edition is gonna be my first recommendation. It's harder to find games for on account of being significantly less popular than dnd5e but it's probably the 2nd most popular game. It's also completely free, with everything being hosted on https://2e.aonprd.com/. It's got everything except adventures, those ya gotta buy. For the next 10 days, there's a humble bundle that includes PDFs of lots of the pre-remaster legacy books, and includes a couple adventures, including a whole adventure path going from level 1 to 20. As a whole, the game is different to dnd but it's recognizable. Big fan myself, and paizo isn't a bunch of pricks. The setting is also super gay. There's a potion of trans your gender, and one of the main religions in the world is the worship of 3 gods in lesbian polycule.
Ironsworn: probably my favorite RPG, period. (also has a space version, that works the same way). It is narrative focused, and designed for solo play or in groups with no GM. Works just as well by yourself, as a duo, in a small group, or in a traditional way with a few players and a GM. It's structured around it's vow system. Your character makes a vow, you decide how difficult that vow should be to accomplish, and as you do things that advance it, you mark progress. Eventually, you make a roll to try and fulfill the vow, with the difficulty determined by how much progress you've made. If you fail that roll, it's bad. Cool thing is that just about everything works that way. Undertaking a journey, delving a dungeon, fighting a dude, it's all handled with the same system. It's a game about perseverance and struggle and relationships, both with people and with places. also very fun to play for writing practice. It's mechanics are rooted in it's setting, but there's no reason you couldn't play it in basically any setting. the youtube channel Me, Myself, And Die is, essentially, Critical Role But It's Solo RPGs, and he did a great season where he played Ironsworn, check it out. Also, Basement Fort on youtube did a duo playthrough. I've only seen the first episode but it seems like a fun watch, as well as showing off duo gameplay.
the Witcher RPG: i haven't played this myself or even looked at the books yet, but everything I've heard about this game has me super excited about it. the general consesus seems to be "yo this is wayyyy better than I thought it would be, why aren't more people playing this, what the fuck". If somebody more familiar wants to talk about it, that'd be dope.
gonna ramble about the rest much less, LIGHTNING ROUND OF RECOMMENDATIONS
Dungeon World: same genre as dnd, but much less crunchy gameplay. Much easier to learn.
Kids On Bikes: it's Stranger Things but as a ttrpg.
Call of Cthulhu: get spooky, idiot. The players are investigators unraveling some mystery or another, and trying to keep their sanity in the face of some cosmic bullshit.
Lancer: it's about mechs! closer to anime-style mechs than battletech style, from what I can tell. I've heard good things.
Vampire: The Masquerade: you will NEVER guess what this is about. It's a classic, it's great, it pretty much redefined the way I think vampires should work. The new version of Werewolf: The Apocalypse is coming soon, and I'm real hyped for that, too.
Shadow Of The Demon Lord: my understanding is that this game is basically "DnD 5e, but good".

So the story goes… A loving wife, happy with her marriage. A bitter husband, who began to fall for another. His betrayal was so unexpected, so horrible, that her anguished heart left behind a black stain upon the world as the poison took her.  The Wraith of Point Sorrow, a being of pure rage and hatred, with no goal save to spread suffering without thought or direction. With a single, furious wail, she struck the entire town dead. To this day, Point Sorrow lies abandoned, the vengeful horror still casting her baleful shadow across the ruins… …Though I don’t really take stock in such tales.
I threw this together in preparation for the second major boss of my tabletop campaign! She's basically a banshee, but I'm trying to establish my own world-building and lore regarding how the setting I've created works, so she's not a ghost, but just an echo of the person left after they pass on. The players had a hell of a fight with her though, it's really fun finally capitalizing on foreshadowing.

Dungeon World One Shots! Looking for players!!
Pitch
PCs are part of a demon hunting group in a 'swords and elves' fantasy setting – think Grey Wardens from Dragon Age. You're sent out when an incursion happens to fight back monsters and save folk. Tone is meant to be explicitly heroic. Each session is one mission, each session is maybe 3-4 hours long (but I'm kinda winging it!). All one shots exist in the same setting, but that's mostly so I can share improv work, there's no overarching plot.
I'd love to run, like, 2-4 of these depending on how many people we can wrangle – but also if we only get a single party I'd happily run more than one for them! ^^
When is it going to be?
I'm thinking Fridays or Saturdays, maybe starting at 4pm EST – starting time is flexible though! – but also if there's like 4 of you that want to do it, say, on a Tuesday, we can make that work ^^ Definitely can't do Sundays or Thursdays at this time though
I've never played Dungeon World before~!/What do I need to bring~?
Dungeon World is a simple Powered by the Apocalyse game – i.e. dice mechanics revolve around rolling 2d6 dice, and adding a stat modifier to the result. 6 and below is a miss, 7-9 gets you what you want, more or less, and 10+ gets you what you want!
For those that may only be familiar with DnD, it does not use a turn based system of combat, instead making it more freeflow like other actions. As many people I know on here play games like VTM V5 you'll have a fine time feeling out the flow I imagine.
This game will be hosted on discord (and will probably put everyone in the same server) so have a good enough internet connection for that – and in theory I have a working dice bot for this but sometimes it goes offline so having at least 2d6 dice around as backup would be useful!
Session Zero/Safety Measure
Trying to look after my players, and be looked after in turn, is important to me. Especially with a bunch of people I've never played with, and who haven't played with me.
Session Zero will be held informally over Discord chat with the help of an old consent form as a reference point for things to discuss. A break in the middle will be provided – but more breaks can be planned in advance.
Obviously there will be violence, possibly even against children and animals, but nothing in the way of sexual assault.
I ask that Players only bring, say, a sentence or two of backstory for their character. Humans, Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs are our fantasy races. Unless you want something else in which case just ask!
How do I apply?
Send me a DM! I'll add a reblog on the post when I'm done looking - probably after a week, maybe sooner if there's a flood of people like there was for my VTM game a year ago. You're also free to ask questions! ^^
