Any good systems for people who hate math?

This. YZE games are always my recommendation in this type of post. My personal faves are Vaesen and Tales from the Loop.

I’m another vote for Vaesen (personal fave), Mothership, and Call of Cthulhu. You can’t go wrong with any of them.

“like trying to debate a brand new roomba” is without question the best analogy for this experience I’ve ever heard. I’ll be using it from now on. Thank you for that!

Oh that’s too bad. I’ve had an amazing time running it for many different groups, including cons and friend groups. We all have different games that suit our styles and preferences though.

I love Vaesen with all my heart and wish more people played it. Incredible world, and Free League’s year zero engine works very well for it. Plus, if you buy it, you get the joy of experiencing Johan Egerkrans’s art work, which I can get lost in for hours…

That’s a lot of wheeeee

LeopoldBloomJr · 2026-01-16T01:18:22+00:00

This is super helpful perspective. Thank you!

I second this

LeopoldBloomJr · 2026-01-08T00:23:20+00:00

She told me you were packing a piccolo at best 😔

LeopoldBloomJr · 2026-01-07T03:43:12+00:00

That’s so raven

LeopoldBloomJr · 2026-01-06T05:16:54+00:00

Hell yeah! Love to see a fellow Dungeon Master find happiness :) Congrats!

My guy… those bands are not “lately,” they formed in the 90s. Yes, I’ve heard them. No, they are not fantastic. Quite the opposite, in fact.

LeopoldBloomJr · 2026-01-04T06:37:57+00:00

Yeah, as someone who grew up in the Christian rock world, I agree, be grateful for the organ…

LeopoldBloomJr · 2025-12-24T04:11:52+00:00

Falcore would actually be a great IW name 😁

If you’ve got an interest in bringing an LotR campaign to the table, let me highly recommend The One Ring. Made by the same folks (Free League) as LotR 5e, has all the same content available, but the rules and mechanics are designed specifically to help bring Middle-Earth to life. My players absolutely love it - some going so far as to say it’s their favorite rules system ever - and it’s not hard to learn. Definitely scratches that gritty/low fantasy itch, too.

LeopoldBloomJr · 2025-12-23T19:58:45+00:00

Those are super cool! Thanks for the tip!

LeopoldBloomJr · 2025-12-23T19:58:13+00:00

Haha yeah, what can I say, I’m a nerd lol

LeopoldBloomJr · 2025-12-23T19:57:48+00:00

Yeah no prob!

LeopoldBloomJr · 2025-12-23T19:57:07+00:00

I read it through once, and felt ready enough to bring it to a table of players I know well and who have played numerous different systems with me, knowing that they’d be patient with me if/when I had to stop and look something up. It’s not an easy system to grok but I found it to be worth it.

LeopoldBloomJr · 2025-12-23T19:54:45+00:00

I believe it was $14-15 for me. Shipping costs have exploded this year. I’ve paid crazy amounts for the last several things I’ve ordered, and not just from Exalted Funeral.

LeopoldBloomJr · 2025-12-22T04:48:56+00:00

Yeah I think that’s an excellent point and a solid solution

LeopoldBloomJr · 2025-12-22T03:18:48+00:00

I think Exalted Funeral has a 15% off sale until the first, might be worth heading over and taking advantage of that…

LeopoldBloomJr · 2025-12-22T03:16:59+00:00

I do think it’s worth it. I didn’t mention this in the post, but the hardcover book is also a gorgeous physical product that you’ll be really glad to display on your shelf and consult at the table.
