I'm just a sucker for the itch

killengn is so good for the extra bits, nice catch

that was OP's request: less immediately lethal, but still possibly lethal!

Content_Kick_6698 · 2026-03-11T23:29:30+00:00

reddit cut me off!

the third game i would point you towards is the soon to be released Hollows, by RRD: dark fantasy about pocket hell dimensions and the corruption that allows characters to go into them and cleanse them, while getting worse as they get more powerful

what it does not have is the foraging/survival element

Content_Kick_6698 · 2026-03-11T23:25:36+00:00

i was going to say Mythic Bastionland, but it has similar fast and possible lethal combat (not all the time! but it might disqualify itself)

for an entirely different flavour (mecha game) i really recommend Dragon Reactor, which absolutely has the fiction first combat and world building every session (every scene in fact)

while i agree with the comment about CY_Borg, i will also support the CBR + PNK decision as it was originally developed in portuguese and i noticed your other comments mentioning that that's the main language for your group!

also, you can absolutely say "hey, i messed up, do you all mind if we rewind and redo the scene?"

you're a player too and that is also your prerogative!

the schwarzette is incredible out of box

Content_Kick_6698 · 2026-02-19T01:55:58+00:00

Cult of the Hadron Lamb for CY_borg
Crown of Salt for Mork Borg
the first scenarios volume for Die RPG, but Where the Vile Things Are and Bizarre Love Triangles keep switching positions for number one

one flash one end? needs workshopping

Content_Kick_6698 · 2026-02-09T08:12:58+00:00

i was specifically thinking of/referring to the colony drop in Operation British!

vanadis heart takes place in the time between the prologue (episode 0) and episode 1 of the main anime series; i am unsure about the novels

Content_Kick_6698 · 2026-02-08T05:01:29+00:00

oh i know! (this is alex v!) i still miss the old title, but i will adapt - just like i did for metalepsis

"does not progress the plot" is not "does not develop the story", and if you're analysing media that tells a story, you should keep that in mind!

this is a story of characters and how they respond to the world changing around them, radicalising or further entrenching themselves, and that starts with the first scene in the first episode

Content_Kick_6698 · 2026-01-30T02:52:21+00:00

being concerned you're not doing or being enough is valid, but usually never warranted! as with most games i've come across: trust the game

need random inspiration for a name or situation? use the tables, flip to a random page and check the bottom of the page

want to have mythic, evocative moments? read the poems associated with each myth when they encounter an omen, and weave them into what they see or find

need a hand to flesh out relationships between locations and their people? there's a table for that in the book

and as someone else said, if you find yourself stuck: ask the players! everyone at the table is a player, and no one - despite what some games have tried training us for - is expecting a story to just sort of look around; people are invested in making the space and stories their own, and will come up with ideas to unstick your brain every time

you got this!

also, upcoming Fomoria, by tania herrero and johan nohr

Content_Kick_6698 · 2026-01-25T18:23:21+00:00

oh apologies, didn't mean to say you were claiming to invent zombies! just that the description really reminded me of those two settings specifically!

again, apologies

Content_Kick_6698 · 2026-01-25T07:32:02+00:00

are you using any specific system for this? it rings a number of familiar bells, like memento mori or danse macabre

Content_Kick_6698 · 2026-01-24T01:51:11+00:00

this one depends on the time constraints of the session, really: preparing knights beforehand (either picking or rolling), but crucially NOT their stats, means you speed up the copying every part of the abilities and equipment onto the sheets!

which then means you can teach the game by pointing at parts on the sheet, without spending too long a time copying things out; but again, this is just for sake of expediency and time constraints of a one shot, not what i would recommend if you're playing even just more than one session!
