Have you played ELEMENTAL AXES ?

By Eric J Seaton

A fantasy roleplaying game set in a fractured human empire ostensibly under threat from elves, giants, and beastfolk on all sides. Grow your Fame (or Infamy) to become a legend of this new era!

Elemental Axes is a classless, skill-based system with detailed rules toys for activities like:

Being celebrated in song and story

Crafting bespoke disembodied spirits

Bribing government officials … and more!

Create your character by prioritizing various skill groups and assigning skills at your whim. The difference between a courtly knight and a grizzled ranger comes down to which of those skill groups you prefer. Master every possible form of magic, or specialize in one or two elements and shaping methods. Even those who never cast a spell can benefit from knowing about magic in order to better defend against it.

Have you played Paranoid Android ?

By Armanda

The perpetual war with the androids has made everyone paranoid. Including you. Including your interrogators.

In this game, you play as a blue-collar worker on Asimov Landing Station, a place on the far edge of the galaxy, manned by only a skeleton crew, most of them scientists doing research. Nothing ever happens there. The atmosphere in the Station has started changing and it hasn’t escaped your notice. Furthermore, several things have gone wrong or malfunctioned in non-critical but totally avoidable ways. As the war with the androids rages across the galaxy, the government has discovered that androids have the capacity to perfectly mimic human beings. Following this dramatic announcement, things have begun to go wrong in more significant ways: research has been delayed, the station’s systems have broken down at critical moments, and people have disappeared. Station security has singled you out as a suspicious person and they’ve taken you in for questioning. As the interrogation goes on, you begin to doubt yourself - you know some androids are sleeper agents, unaware that they’re not really human until activated. Could you be one of them? The journal you’ll keep throughout this game will serve as the transcript of your interrogation.

Have you played THE DEEP FOREST?

By Mark Diaz Truman and Avery Alder

A decolonial re-imagining of Alder’s previous game The Quiet Year, The Deep Forest is about rebuilding a monster community in the aftermath of an invasion by humans, and the trials and tribulations the monsters go through to rebuild it

"this city is named the sick city because of the sickly green color of all its walls" No!

How dare you tease me with such a name as The Sick City and not make it cool ?

Imagine, for one instant, if the city was indeed sick. As if the city was a being, suffering illness ?

What would fever look like, what would a cough or other symptoms look like? How do the people live there ? Are they also a symptom or contaminated?

Noun + Adjective not usually used with said noun should spark your imagination, especially in a weird dark fantasy setting

For those of you who watched Episode 2 of Qismat, a little behind the scenes where we talk about the recording, the process of creating Baagh and our performances.

Warning : spoilers for Episode 2

May also explain why my side of the actual play was a mix of a png and real camera

Have you played Skyrealms of Jorune ?

By Andrew Leker, Miles Teves

A science-fantasy RPG set in the alien world of Jorune, made up of floating islands. It is notable for its interesting worldbuilding and design, but not for being fun to play...

Have you played HENSHIN, HERO!

by Notepad Anon

Henshin, Hero! is the exciting new game from the SPRUG Workshop, detailing the adventures of a group of teenagers as they . . . well, it's about the Actors and Studio behind a low-budget Sentai Television Show. 

The Players take the roll of the Actors, who are playing Characters, as they attempt to build Star Power, defeat evil, dramatically fly away after they get hit with a dozen spark packs, and hope the medical insurance is good because someone just screwed up a stunt.

Inspired by sharing of ttrpg bookshelves on a discord server

We have the good bookshelf, somewhat ordered

And we have the mess of a bed table, where I need to record the games into my ttrpg list excel sheet before they go into the bookshelf

Have you played Promethean The Created ?

By Eric Berg, Dave Brookshaw, Steffie de Vaan, Meghan Fitzgerald, Jim Fisher, Jose Garcia, David A Hill Jr, Matthew McFarland, Neall Raemonn Price, Mark L.S. Stone, Vera Vartanian, Amy Veeres, Stew Wilson

Set in the Chronicles of Darkness setting, Promethean is a game of personal horror and on the nature of what makes a man.

Prometheans are reanimated corpses fueled by Azoth, the Divine Fire. These creatures are cursed to suffer the unending hatred of the human race, and must struggle for survival against both mankind's rejection and the rejection of the earth itself. Prometheans follow what they call "the Pilgrimage", a quest to refine themselves into something more closely resembling humans. They learn to master the Azoth within them and the nature of humanity, with the goal of someday completing "the Great Work": redemption, the final transformation into human beings. Assuming, of course, they can avoid giving up in the face of the world's spite.

Have you played The Fall of Delta Green ?

By Kenneth Hite

It is the 1960s. The stars are coming right. The United States declares war on poverty and sends half a million troops to Indochina; desegregates voting booths and shoots rockets at the moon. Everyone believes that if we put our mind to it and our backs into it, there’s nothing we can’t do to make the world better, for America and everyone else.

You know that this is a lie. You are an Agent of DELTA GREEN, an authorized but unacknowledged black program of the United States national security establishment, tasked to hunt and destroy the Cthulhu Mythos. You know that plans and ideals, peace and love, matter less than a single atom drifting in the galaxy. All you can do is rage against doom, burn out your mind and body, and damn your nonexistent soul keeping your family, your country, your planet, ignorant and safe for one more day.

The Fall of Delta Green adapts Arc Dream Publishing's Delta Green to the GUMSHOE system. Players take on the role of Delta Green operatives, assets, and friendlies, in deadly one-shot adventures or a campaign spanning the years from hope to madness. Hunt Deep Ones beneath the Atlantic, shut down dangerous artists in San Francisco, and delve into the heart of Vietnam’s darkness.

Have you played QUEERZ RPG

By Amit Moshe / Son of Oak Game Studio

The anime tabletop RPG where you fight darkness and intolerance with light and empathy! Based on the "QUEERZ!" manga and City of Mist RPG

Have you played DUMMY SYSTEM_ ?

By gutspiller

DUMMY SYSTEM_ is a 10-page homo ex machina generator for four participants (three players and one game master).

More directly, it is a tabletop RPG about the unbearable agony of facing yourself, played out over a short campaign of mecha combat and social fumbling that is doomed to failure. It was built to replicate the structure and emotional core of Neon Genesis Evangelion, a cartoon about depression and the struggle to find love in a world of pain and fighting giant monsters in a robot made out of your mom. Spoilers, I guess.

Featuring:

-A crabs-in-a-bucket style social system where reaching out is necessary, even as much as it hurts.

-Loose, narrative combat where the Adversary is a sort of puzzle that must be solved with a mix of teamwork and desperation.

-Episodic structure built for a 3-5 session campaign that slides rapidly towards the utmost extremity - the only state where growth can be achieved.

-Artsy fartsy bullshit.

Have you played GLITTER HEARTS ?

By Greg Leatherman

•Your magical archetype – what type of hero are you? A warrior, witch, idol, defender, or tactician.

•Your mystical connection – which element or emotion do you draw your power from?

And then choose your actions from there until you’ve built your hero.

While based off many popular magical girls shows, Glitter Hearts can be set in any time, place, or world that you can imagine. All you need to play is 3-6 players, a pair of six-sided dice, and a few hours to play.

So hop in, transform yourself into the hero of your dreams, and explore the world of Glitter Hearts !

Have you played This Discord has Ghosts in It ?

By Adam Vass and Will Jobst

You’ve been invited to a haunted house. That haunted house is a Discord server.

Players split into two teams: investigators and ghosts. Ghosts may only type, filling the channels of a Discord with frights! Spreading horror throughout the rooms and spaces of this house with text, images, audio, or video. Investigators may only speak in a voice channel, with everyone listening in, like walkie-talkies or shouts throughout the space.

Throughout the game, ghosts haunt rooms while investigators explore, get spooked, and learn about the ghosts, all while narrating the horror to all players and hinting at their secret motives. Ghost players reveal parts of themselves by creating new rooms, in turn making the house a labyrinth. Investigators get to the bottom of these mysteries and spill secrets of their own.

Every game culminates in a supernatural seance. In this final act, confront each ghost about their mysteries, and each investigator about their secrets.

For 6-16 players, including a facilitator, over the course of 1-3 hours.

Did I prepare anything since this post ? Not at all.

Do I have only one week left ? Yes I do

At the end of August, my TTRPG club is organising an one day sort of con. The theme this year is Dark Fantasy and as one of the few gms there, I will propose games all day.

And I already have a document for all the ideas.

Lists of possible games to use, of modules ideas, links to ressources, moodboard. As is often the case with me, I have too many games and choosing them is hard. At least I can filter by going with games in french or light non french games that are easy to translate and understand.

And I had this silly idea.

20 15-min adventures for one player, to use when a table doesn't have enough player or as a small teaser for solo visitors. A roll of the dice, a pregen, and go.

But now....which system to use ? A system that is easy to explain and understand but where the players won't miss too much of the meat and potatoes of the system by only playing 15 minutes ?
