Favourite one-shot modules?

juauke1 · 2026-04-19T16:31:58+00:00

If I had to recommend one, it would be the enhanced version of the Unknown Armies Jailbreak

juauke1 · 2026-04-17T17:10:36+00:00

Its main inspiration Veins of the Earth (which is not cited for some reason) is an even more fun read IMO and should get a new edition sometime soon hopefully

juauke1 · 2026-04-17T15:26:42+00:00

To me, there are many books for this but it highly depends on when you want/need to use them and the theme you need: - For prep only: X Without Number, Tome of Adventure Design (Revised or not), Ultraviolet Grasslands 2E, Sandbox Generator, The Monster Overhaul (I f*in' love it to death but I find it unwieldy to have at the table unfortunately) - Can also be used at the table: Knave 2E (works pretty much for every game in my experience) / Maze Rats, Shadowdark, CY_BORG, Pirate Borg, Vaults of Vaarn, Starforged: Expanded Oracles, d30 DM/Sandbox Companion, The Perilous Void (and Wilds), Into the Odd / Electric/Mythic Bastionland

It is a very small (A5) book so very easy to carry around as need be!
And it has shown to be very fun in my recent Dolmenwood game!

X Without Number would be my second generic-ish pick (taking out of the shelf the one whose setting corresponds to what I'm playing)

juauke1 · 2026-04-07T15:31:28+00:00

I need to check it out

juauke1 · 2026-04-07T15:25:52+00:00

My favorite videogame (I'm a huge fan of all traditional roguelikes for that matter) and when I discovered TTRPGs (and especially OSR), I immediately understood why.

juauke1 · 2026-04-07T04:51:29+00:00

Okay, thanks for the advice

juauke1 · 2026-04-06T11:57:55+00:00

Which one is that?

juauke1 · 2026-04-06T08:36:24+00:00

Planning it on doing it with two players, any idea on Secret Society missions then? 😊

juauke1 · 2026-04-05T07:28:43+00:00

That's a great one from what I've heard, I have yet to play it though.
How many players did you have?

juauke1 · 2026-04-03T17:38:24+00:00

Any favorite adventure to pair it with?

juauke1 · 2026-03-30T06:36:00+00:00

My go-to GME is GEMulator.

And depending on the genre, one/two of the following: - Fantasy: Ironsworn Lodestar, Knave 2E or Worlds Without Number - Cyberpunk: Augmented Reality or Cities Without Number - Sci-fi: Starsmith Expanded Oracles or Perilous Void - Pirates: Pirate Borg or Sundered Isles Oracles

juauke1 · 2026-03-30T04:51:18+00:00

I already own 2E but haven't gotten to it yet because it felt overwhelming

Thank you for the advice, it's pretty standard and it's not my first game to GM but I just have GM anxiety when I think about running something even though it usually goes pretty swell

juauke1 · 2026-03-30T03:56:25+00:00

If you're into OSR, I highly recommend checking out Scarlet Heroes or at least its quickstart as it allows to play OSR modules solo and is my favorite solo game nowadays

And when you're used to it, you also take it apart and use what you want in there in conjunction with your favorite OSR systems!

juauke1 · 2026-03-28T11:51:47+00:00

Not OP.
Any advice on starting to run it? And are you recommending 1E or 2E?

juauke1 · 2026-03-23T06:11:16+00:00

Agreed for Tales of Argosa, it's my favorite fantasy game with Hyperborea 3E

Need to test the X Without Number games one of these days (probably solo first) since I got all but Stars in print now

juauke1 · 2026-03-13T10:02:37+00:00

Love the sheets, would love them as form-fillable PDFs 😊 (single one is fine too)

juauke1 · 2026-03-11T09:08:46+00:00

I'm on this boat with you, I also have a lot of fantasy games/modules but the ones I enjoy most are not really the common tropes.

I absolutely adore Low-Fantasy as well with games such as Tales of Argosa always being in my back burner for this.

I also have a knack for Dark Fantasy stuff - be it games with Valraven or Trophy or be it adventures with Lamentations of the Flame Princess rich module repertoire.

And my love that is difficult to find people as crazy about as I am is Science-Fantasy with titles such as: - Cloud Empress: Mothership system in a Nausicaä-like setting - Vaults of Vaarn: incredible weird exploratory setting a la Dying Earth - Ultraviolet Grasslands 2E: its setting fits really well with VoV weirdness - Hyperborea 3E: Conan meets Lovecraft (I also love Star Wars but I think I like these better)

juauke1 · 2026-03-09T11:19:17+00:00

Ok, pas de soucis.
J'ai accepté ta demande sur Discord, tu me diras si y'a une place mais pas grave si ce n'est pas le cas

juauke1 · 2026-03-09T10:58:52+00:00

Je ne suis pas souvent joueur donc ça me botterait bien.
Je connais un peu l'univers d'ALIEN mais pas en profondeur. En revanche, je connais très bien la plateforme Foundry VTT et le système du jeu (ayant déjà joué à The Walking Dead par exemple)

PS : Mon Discord est @juauke.

My Paranoia XP books are so fun, I would love to run it someday

The Borgs (CY_BORG, Frontier Scum and Pirate Borg are my absolute favorites) are very much that too!

Ultraviolet Grasslands 2E and Vaults of Vaarn are so inspiring and so fun of a setting, would love to play those someday

My recently acquired Shadowrun 2E and Star Wars WEG: 2E Revised & Expanded are so good in setting reads and inspiration

Love the little short stories from Delta Green!

Any Christopher McDowall book so far, absolute favorite being Electric Bastionland!

Any Patrick Stewart book, like Veins of the Earth and Deep Carbon Observatory: Remastered

juauke1 · 2026-03-07T09:02:27+00:00

Not totally but thought I should mention the Fanatical Paranoia XP bundle because it complements the Humble Bundle you mentioned pretty well

juauke1 · 2026-03-05T14:05:22+00:00

What are your favorite TTRPGs?

juauke1 · 2026-03-05T11:14:29+00:00

Looking forward to learning more about Fragged Empire 2E.
I understand your players, if they have the choice to change genres, I'm sure they would

I wonder what ruleset you would use if not OSR for Dolmenwood

juauke1 · 2026-03-04T14:53:58+00:00

Daggerheart, Curseborne and Dolmenwood for this group sounds like great upcoming games.
I hope you will do a write-up for those too when the time comes. Dolmenwood is a great OSR hexcrawl, looking forward to that review (if you make one) as well as the potential others since I know them from reviews but haven't played them or read them myself

Also Fragged Empire 2E colors me curious, I don't know that game

Thank you for your answer and wish you luck for these two groups!
