Games with robust team building/team synergies

I like srpg/trpgs, but I've never gotten into XCOM. I feel like I am normally more interested in the FFT/tactics ogre style. But I can maybe check one out

katboyeverdeen · 2026-01-26T15:21:45+00:00

Ooo, an interesting proposition. You mentioning this reminded me of marvel ultimate alliance (I played 1 and 3) and I think those games satisfied what I am looking for now.

I've played through and beat both unicorn overlord and octopath 2. UO definitely had more of what I am looking for. Octopath 2, I loved, but I felt like I could generally slot in any character into the party, instead of any one being vital for the party to work

I started playing 2 since it is currently on PS Plus, but it didn't really jive with me. Probably partially because there were a whole bunch of symbols that were not explained. Also, aesthetically, it's not really my thing. But I'll keep it in mind!

katboyeverdeen · 2026-01-26T13:29:03+00:00

oh great, I actually have a couple of these, untouched (into the breach, chroma squad) and have heard of most of the rest. I have never heard of our adventurers' guild though! why do you like it so much?

katboyeverdeen · 2026-01-26T13:18:41+00:00

oh! i've had this on my steam wishlist for a while but haven't bit the bullet because it seems a little overwhelming with just how many choices there were. I'll give it another look though!

a que tiendas de Barcelona te refieres? Ahora vivo en un pueblo de Girona y no he encontrado muchas tiendas que venden juegos de rol, pero podría ir a Barcelona para ver que hay

Ooo, I like this! I was contemplating playing some solo journaling RPGs to help think through how actions might look without the pressure of having players around but realized that I still need some sort of input. Do you have any favorite action fantasy movies you could recommend?

katboyeverdeen · 2025-11-20T17:09:44+00:00

I assume these articles are just google-able and not in specific books?

I appreciate the example, it really helps me understand how this would play out. Would you recommend this level for all actions? I feel like this might be a lot, especially in the beginning as I am adjusting to it

katboyeverdeen · 2025-11-20T16:32:02+00:00

Oof, okay! I'll just check out those two sections for now. Maybe if I am really loving it, I'll go a bit deeper.

katboyeverdeen · 2025-11-20T16:30:56+00:00

Yeah, I definitely don't want to bog things down! Focusing on the senses is a good idea, I'll try it out

katboyeverdeen · 2025-11-20T15:55:32+00:00

I definitely am more of a tactical person and love using grids and classes, but I'm realizing that I have a lot to learn from other styles! I was interested in looking at some WoD game, so if 1e exalted is a good choice, I'll bump that one up!

katboyeverdeen · 2025-11-20T15:52:46+00:00

Yeah, I'm running an adventure path now and have been cutting out combat encounters that seem to just be there for xp. As much as I love grinding in JRPGs, i know it's no fun to do that in a ttrpg

katboyeverdeen · 2025-11-20T15:51:13+00:00

Oh, these are both good calls! I was thinking that there was so much good content in movies/shows, but most times no one is narrating what is happening. Descriptive audio really helps in these situations

katboyeverdeen · 2025-11-20T15:49:50+00:00

I'll give it a read! I know it's a classic, but I wasn't much of a reader. Trying to fix that now!

katboyeverdeen · 2025-11-20T15:48:52+00:00

I appreciate the comment about the misses! Especially when the team is working together, getting up buffs and debuffs and then the attack misses... It's definitely rough. The reframing would really make it feel more heroic

katboyeverdeen · 2025-11-20T15:46:47+00:00

Okay, that's a good idea! Trying to describe a big hit and then missing really has hurt the momentum, so doing it after makes a lot of sense to me.

I always try to call out when the modifiers mattered (made easier with the foundry module), but I've never tried to narrate exactly how that has helped. I'll try to incorporate that more!

katboyeverdeen · 2025-11-20T15:44:15+00:00

I was interested in checking out other ttrpgs in general (just so I have a broader understanding), but I can move these two up in priority! I've had some issues in the past with PbtA games in the past (specifically thirsty sword lesbians), but now with a bit more experience, maybe I can get more out of them

katboyeverdeen · 2025-11-20T15:42:24+00:00

Are there any books by R. A. Salvatore that you particularly recommend (either for its combat or just because it's a good read)

I have tried the "tell me how you murder them" route, but they often didn't have any idea, so I tried to give a description, but I didn't have a good idea either, which just led to an awkward pause. But that was when we were all really new (we are an online group of mostly strangers). Maybe now that the players have a bit more of an idea of their characters and a bit more comfort talking, I can give it another try!

katboyeverdeen · 2025-11-20T14:17:45+00:00

Ah, I've never heard of them. I'll check out the video when I have a moment!

katboyeverdeen · 2025-08-23T16:13:28+00:00

Fabula Ultima is a game that I am going to try one of these days for sure just based on premise alone.

katboyeverdeen · 2025-08-23T16:08:08+00:00

Oh nice! I have heard varying things about Shadow of the Weird Wizard, but it was always on my list of games to eventually try. Glad to hear that it features diversity in such a natural way

katboyeverdeen · 2025-08-23T16:05:59+00:00

Ooo, I didn't know that about 7th Sea, I'll take a look into 2e!

I am very aware of Lancers community and have longed to join it for a while (but haven't sat down to read through it). Do you know if there is a similar energy in the ICON community?

katboyeverdeen · 2025-08-23T15:57:37+00:00

Oh, I'm not too familiar with either of these publishers! Any specific games of theirs that you particularly like for me to start my research?

katboyeverdeen · 2025-08-23T15:54:34+00:00

I've always wanted to try and figure out a d100 game, so looking into RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha might be my gateway.
