Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 Revive Age-Old RPG Debate About Encumbrance - IGN in c/gaming@kbin.social

I have never wished for encumbrance in a game that didn't have it. I've only ever wished it was gone from those that do.

Skyfarer, the Sunless Skies TTRPG, has a strong steampunk aesthetic. I thought I had posted this earlier but maybe not.

D&D 5e alternatives? in c/RPG@kbin.social
[–] Thelgor@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If you liked 5e but not a fan of what WotC is doing, I would suggest looking into Level Up: Advanced 5e. They've improved on a lot of things about 5e (e.g. monster stat blocks and challenge ratings) and you can still use your adventures and supplements (with maybe some tweaks).

Level Up Site

In general, with as many different rulesets that exist, I would say that offering a bit more of what you want in a TTRPG experience would go a long way in helping people offer suggestions. Example keywords: sci-fi, fantasy, modern, cinematic, tactical, mystery, supernatural, etc.

Aaron A Reed Releases 50 Years of Text Games Portal (kbin.social)
 

I've long been a fan of text adventures (aka interactive fiction) so when I saw that Aaron A. Reed was Kickstarting a book covering 50 years of it, I immediately became a backer. For each year, he selects one text adventure that encapsulates what the state of the genre was like for that year. Well, he's recently released it to his backers in electronic form and has set up a website where everyone can find links to each of the games he covers so they play, download, or buy the game in question. It's definitely worth a look.
