Protect The Child (Playtesting!) by Mint-Rabbit A game about monster babysitters.

Do you tend to sympathise with movie monsters? Protect the Child is a #fitd game about monsters needing to take care of a human child! My favourite playset, Digital Glitch, touches on how society views disability as monstrous.

Against the Odds by Helena Real A heroic fantasy PbtA game

Or maybe #pbta is more your thing? This system makes building and learning characters super fast!

Try Against the Odds: heroic fantasy with emphasis on the gravity of choosing to take a life! I’ve been running some in my old dnd world and it’s a blast.

Trespasser by tundalus A d20 fantasy game of base building, survival, and perilous tactical combat.

* Trespasser is the BEST game of dungeon delving adventure I’ve found. I have plans to use it to run a Castlevania inspired rpg! Linking this one as it’s less well known.

Had the joy of running Daggerheart for @thegildedtabletop.bsky.social and each time I run, the more it cements my love for the system. I had so much fun running it!

I think so. At the very least, I find listening to a new system before running it helps me get a grasp of the game’s rules and vibe.

#RPGaDay Day 9 - Inspire

Cortex Prime (by @rustysellsword.com ) is an interesting rules system. Many call it a framework or toolkit, as it allows the Game Master to access all the rules dials and tune them as they desire. It has inspired me to think up and build many settings.

#RPGaDay 9: Inspire

The #GirlByMoonlight series are excellent for inspiring stories! My group is preparing one about students wielding the spirits of Arthurian heroes (using Brink of the Abyss) & I’ve toyed with running one about characters inspired by the Tenno in warframe (using Sea of Stars.)
