@GamerMomLuna I am facilitating a one-shot of the GM-less RPG "Mobile Frame Zero: Firebrands" with Magpie Games Community Play Day tomorrow.

And I'll be playing in a continuing campaign of "Star Trek: Warp Cortex" on Sunday. That game is Modiphius "Star Trek Adventures" RPG with the game engine ported over from the 2d20 System to Cortex Prime.

28) Scariest played

Bluebeard's Bride

A supernatural horror RPG based on the French folk tale about a young womam who marries a rich older man whose previous wives have all vanished. It symbolically explores issues of feminine horror like misogyny, domestic violence, body image, beauty standards, sexual abuse, etc. It's rare for me to feel fear bleed through a game, but this one can do it. Running with safety tools is imperative.

@apontious I'd recommend looking for online gaming communities that regularly play indie games.

Off the top of my head...

Open Hearth Gaming Community
openhearthgaming.com/

Games On Demand:
discord.gg/f8wTkSRU

Happy Jacks RPG Network:
happyjacks.org/

Magpie Games:
magpiegames.com/

There are a LOT of people playing non-D&D RPGs, but they mostly don't hang out in D&D circles.

Wishing you good luck!

@ChaskaTheMagicDog My favorite horror TTRPGs:

Trophy Dark (Jesse Ross)
Bluebeard's Bride (W. Beltrán, S. Doom & M. Kelley)
Public Access (Jason Cordova)
Quietus (Oli Jeffrey)
Mothership (Tuesday Knight Games)
Cthulhu Dark (Graeme Walmsley)

The only RPG I've run that has legitimately scared my players was *Bluebeard's Bride*. It's one fantastic game, but it deals specifically with sensitive subjects.

I played in an AMAZING game of "The Between" earlier today at monthly Community Play Day.

The Between is a narrative-focused by Jason Cordova about a group of mysterious monster-hunters in Victorian London. Published by .

My character was "Wild" Rose Larabee [The American], a pistol-packing, monster-hunting cowgirl from Wyoming with a mysterious past and a strange curse.

It was a fantastic game!

Speaking of publisher, that's a term I personally find inadequate for meaningfully large publishers like , , , , , many others, or even

I'd call them "Major" or "Boutique" publishers.

They would benefit from your, and deserve it more than .

They might not spontaneously send out free review/test copies but, if you're a content creator, you can politely message them for free PDFs. They're very likely to send one.

5/5

@nerdybutcute I played a ton of Champions 4e back in the 90s! These days, I mostly kick in story-game circles, and Masks: A New Generation from seems to be the supers game of choice.

Another second Saturday, another Community Play Day. I played in a fun session of . My "Veteran" archetype was a Fae scion of the Summer Court who spent the last 50 years at a human college because he found out learning and college life are fun. He may also have supplied half the campus with... um... herbal remedies.
Over the course of the game, we investigated a murder and messed with one elder vampire on behalf of another elder vampire. Our characters worked together quite a bit more than the system usually intends, which definitely sped things up, but also made the web of debts we spent some time setting up feel a bit wasted, though sometimes worldbuilding feels like its own reward.

Also, as it turns out video games are really helpful in supporting ttrpgs. The Boss Factory (available for free on Epic) is increadibly awesome for creating character images for modern settings and made sure I had a sufficient amount of weird plants to distribute. Thanks again for the recommendation, @Lilliana_S!

During the Community Play Day of , I played in an awesome game of where we investigated and finally exorcised the Saint James Street Ghost. Awesome first look into the game and the ways it facilitates creating a story, a setting and three-dimensional characters to inhabit them!
Also, maybe my Factotum was a little miffed at the insinuation that apart from strange occult purchases, the finances of a household could be considered boring.

Eichhörnchen beißt Fuchs? In dem von einem Brettspiel inspirierten spielt man wenig possierliche Vagabunden in Tiergestalt, die sich im Wald durchschlagen und den tobenden Konflikt um den Ortschaften auf den Lichtungen mit ihren „Heldentaten“ beeinflussen können. Dave stellt das Spiel von vor (🇬🇧): youtu.be/NGiiaiRIOWI

Einen Quickstarter der nichts kostet, findet man bei Magpie Games. Die Regeln basieren auf . Werde ich ausprobieren.
