  1. @GrumblingGM @SJohnRoss I mean, if the shoe fits...

    #Risus or #Troika would be my go-to's, but RISUS is my first choice.

  2. @SJohnRoss It was just mentioned earlier today on our Discord and the first response was that #RISUS is still the best Discworld TTRPG. @TheBeardedBelgian

  5. @Mycomancer Oh, so many that i want to run or play. I’ve been in a long dry spell of #TTRPG due to reasons.

    Anyway, games I want to play and/or run:
    #ThirstySwordLesbians
    #DungeonWorld
    #Monsterhearts2
    #Wield
    #Fudge/#Fate
    #Risus
    #Threadbare
    #FiveByFive

    I could go on and on. Now four of them, Fudge, Fate, Risus, and Five By Five, are more toolkits than games, but they’re great nonetheless.

  6. @Da_Gut I like the #Troika rule: 12 slots, some items take more than 1.

    I also like the #risus system: no tracking, if the player can bullshit the GM into thinking that its cliche would have a certain thing with them, then they do. Works well for cinematic playing.

  7. The first thing to know about the CHEATS System is that it's not just another gaming system. It's so much less than that!

    I've used it with several different dice resolution schemes. I will tinker with that forever.

    It is pretentiously and aggressively backronymed from its PC building blocks:

    Core
    Hallmarks
    Energies
    Approaches
    Talents
    Stuff

    It is influenced by everything I've ever read but specifically by #Risus #BladesInTheDark #HarmonyDrive and #MiniBX .

  17. @Morgunin Ha, Palladium Fantasy was the first #ttrpg I ever played and GMed. And a lot of long campaigns in RIFTS. Many fond memories.

    Wouldn't touch its horribly broken rules with a 10-ft-pole anymore, though. ;)

    I think the 7 rpgs that had the most impact on me from then to now are:

    #Palladium / #RIFTS
    #DnD and #d20Modern
    #7th Sea
    #MarvelUniverse (the diceless one)
    #Risus
    #FATE
    #TheBlackHack

  19. @andrew0ak I’m going to second Risus. Another game that’s almost as simply is PDQ.

    Then there are several games that have a single stat like, “lasers and feeling”, “3:16”, or “Cthulhu Dark”.

    “The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen” isn’t a rpg but it’s a great tall tale story telling game, fun to do with friends and a drinks.
