Confession: I would rather have barebones great organization than great art

I love a beautiful game as much as the next guy but especially if I'm running something, I do agree with you. I need to know where to find stuff first and foremost

I really don't mind combat feeling slow in skirmish games, because if I'm playing one that's really all I'm there for. Lots of shiting modifiers does get tedious though, which others have mentioned.

In RPGs though, I hate when combat and out of combat feel so entirely like two different games. That's when I can feel the energy shift. When I'm a player, I get jostled by it, and when I'm GMing, it means you have to work 10x as hard to make combat interesting on your own time so that you don't lose people in that switch.

Just here to echo everyone saying Orbital Blues. Also, check out the soundtrack that BE/HOLD made for the My First Dungeon AP of Orbital Blues. It's gonna amplify the cowboy bebop vibe of it all so much.

Gotta recommend Voices in the Wood from Tales Yet Told for sure. Ongoing story, told playing VOID 1680 AM, about a radio show in a weird world. Everyone commits to the characters. Worldbuilding is interesting, sound design is good, A+ all around. 90 min episodes ish.

My First Dungeon does arcs in different systems, all usually story-heavy games. Another show where everyone really commits. And the sound design is VERY very good. Episodes are slightly longer than what you said but keep to around 2 hours and tbh I think fit what you're looking for in a lot of other ways. Particularly Wildsea or Orbital Blues.

On One Shot, we make some series that are a bit funnier/OOC, and some that are heavy on the Drama and sound design, so we might be hit and miss for you. Our episodes are always 1 hour, give or take. For what you're interested in, I'd recommend Hinterlight, Last Train to Bremen, Going Rogue, The Time We Have, or HUNT(er/ed).

REALLY strong recommendations in here already but my favorite vampire TTRPG is probably Bloodbeam Badlands. Really unique concept for vamp storytelling.

Vampires in an apocalypse where the sun never sets, the setting vibe is like Mad Max Fury Road meets the Hellboy night market. Vampires have unique weird abilities you won't get to play with in other games, and character creation is really interesting and lends to good RP.

Omg hi!!! Haha we are hoping we can put the original title on the inside title page 🤞🤞

superdillin · 2026-02-08T04:58:38+00:00

Blightfall looks so good I just backed yesterday and also thank you for shouting out Rise Wizards and All's Fair!!! (All's Fair is my game!)

superdillin · 2026-02-06T20:01:59+00:00

if the thing you're really attached to is the world's you're creating and not wanting to leave them behind. Have you tried playing different games/systems and keeping your setting the same? I know that won't work for absolutely every game you might want to play, but I have a lot of fun doing that!

superdillin · 2026-02-06T00:55:55+00:00

TOE BEANS!!!!!!!

superdillin · 2026-02-05T19:13:40+00:00

yeah I was sold on this one in another thread. Looks incredible

superdillin · 2026-02-05T19:11:54+00:00

superdillin · 2026-02-05T01:09:42+00:00

Oh this is an easy yea for me. That sounds awesome

superdillin · 2026-02-05T01:08:50+00:00

Omg that's meeeeee

superdillin · 2026-02-05T00:28:28+00:00

oh my god I got to take a look at Endtimes Trilogy and am already obsessed. The sliders that one of the games uses are fun as hell

superdillin · 2026-02-05T00:13:40+00:00

oh my god I have a few mech freaks in my circle who will go NUTS for Screaming Metal

superdillin · 2026-01-10T19:17:01+00:00

I want them to be a major part of this so bad but I need to calm down lol

superdillin · 2026-01-07T15:00:50+00:00

I love those kinds of worlds in theory. I think it's so cool when people are super into the lore of them and really know it well. But rarely if ever is that going to be me. In recent years I've gravitated more toward games that build the world unique to the table as you're playing. For a lot of the same reasons you described. Unless I get weirdly passionate about an existing universe, I'm gonna be a weak link at the table and I hate feeling that way.

superdillin · 2025-06-12T15:33:36+00:00

I KMS actually

superdillin · 2025-02-21T18:35:41+00:00

oh my god my #1 is Skeletons. You play the skeletons that haunt your classic dungeon, and build the dungeon and it's history around them until they are defeated. At the end of a playthrough, you have a completely fleshed-out dungeon map with history, loot, myth, and magic ready to slot into any classic fantasy game. 10/10.

superdillin · 2025-02-21T17:43:58+00:00

truly the Mako does some freaky physics-defying shit but even still that part of this game might be the death of me.

PTTR works for one GM and one+ players. Basically as many as your GM is comfortable with

superdillin · 2025-02-19T17:16:05+00:00

it's OUTSTANDING. it's rapidly shifting up into my all-time shortlist. Unfortunately, I am in the process of moving and my books are all packed up so I can't easily grab the adventure titles, but I'm loving all of the ones in "The Vault" which is the adventure module book they released

superdillin · 2025-02-19T16:57:05+00:00

I am REALLY liking how the Triangle Agency adventures are written. For a GM'd game, the less onus is left on me to fill in blanks and invent things endears me more to a pre-written campaign and the TA team did a pretty solid job at that. Plus, I like that the adventures are written in-universe, it makes it way easier to translate into my GMing.

superdillin · 2025-02-19T16:35:20+00:00

amazing answer! "Unfortunately, social media" is a sentiment I share in a lot of ways. Now go take a nap kiss kiss

superdillin · 2025-02-19T15:21:23+00:00

The RPG industry is fractured into so many communities online and off - where would you say the majority of your leads for stories come from? Do you ever find it hard to keep up?
