This is a place to talk about tabletop roleplaying games.
I've been playing Melee/Wizard on game night when people are missing, which is sadly not uncommon, since they're all busy young adults. So far it has been random dungeons from The Fantasy Trip 2019 Postcard Contest that I'm running with Melee/Wizard to help people learn the basic rules of The Fantasy Trip. I'm going to move it to a TFT campaign, but basically one where everybody has to be back in town at the end of each session of play. That means it doesn't matter who is there and who isn't. I...

Right now, I'm playing the Melee and Wizard parts of The Fantasy Trip on nights when some of my players are missing, as a means of learning the system and teaching it to my players. One of my players did not like the way turn sequencing worked and options worked, and I found keeping track of current adjusted Dexterity when the combat phase came around was difficult. Since we're playing online I made a Google Sheets spreadsheet that kept track of things and automated some of the process. I...

My Tabletop Interest — I sometimes play DELVE, a solo map drawing tabletop game based on Dwarf Fortress, its a fun exercise in creativity I like it.

The games I play — My friends and I play D&D mostly, but we just finished a few adventures of the new Blade Runner game. Blade Runner RPG has an interesting ability system that seems well balanced without having too much math. I have super fond memories of TFT. I played it a lot when it first came out (*cough cough*) but not much since then. Over the years I kept returning to the idea that the TFT rule system was what D&D should have been.

What Tabletop RPGs interest folks here? — Right now I'm very interested in The Fantasy Trip from Steve Jackson Games, Monsters! Monsters! from Trollgodfather Press (which has the same rules as Tunnels & Trolls, but is from the original author of T&T), The Lair of the Leopard Empresses RPG from Mindjammer Press (which uses the M!M! rules and builds on them in very interesting ways), the Westlands 2D6 System RPG from Menagerie Press, and Advanced Fighting Fantasy 2E from Arion Games, but I'm...
