The trick is to find a group and convince them to play, otherwise you run a very high risk of just finding a bunch of furfaggots.

Also you will have trouble convincing your friends you aren't a furfaggot unless you preface the intro with "So I was reading Redwall . . . ."

Here's the thing OP

No roleplaying game that requires you to play with other people will ever be satisfactory to your escapist fantasies. It's even worse if that game has strict rules.

Either you play single player rpgs like Skyrim or, if you truly crave that cooperative feel, you go freeform roleplaying forums.


Sitting at a table across from other people will immediately rip you out of your fantasy and make you realise that you're just playing a very complex game of pretend with three to four other social rejects.

Alright, so Ragnarok. Well as the name suggests It's based on viking mythology. The game is set in the fimblewinter at the beginning of Ragnarok after the sun is eaten. Rather than dice the game uses a rune system. I guess the best way to describe it is like you have a deck of runes you draw from. Your only stats are how many runes you have, and how many runes you can draw at once.you draw runes for skill checks, combat, etc. Though technically the runes themselves are like stats since they represent your physical, mental, and spiritual prowess (and your health). You pick a class and then assign your runes to different powers. You get actives, passives, and skills. There are a good number of variations in what you can choose in each class. No reason any two characters have to end up the same, and in my experience everything seems viable. Death is a major game mechanic. Loosing a character is actually a good thing, because they may get into valhalla. If you get a character to valhalla you level up as a player and get access to new character creation options. Ultimately you can bring back your old characters as einherjar. It's pretty awesome, and actually pretty simple once you sit down and read through it, just kinda hard to describe.

Star Wars: Edge of the Empire is, hands-down, my favorite system.

I use it as often possible. I'm working on a fantasy conversion but there is a wild-west conversion (Edge of the Union) is in it's final testing stages.

the leveling system is great. You spend xp to buy skill increases and talents, which is neat.

But it's the dice system that really shines. It's a non-binary result system. Meaning you don't just succeed or fail a check. There is also advantage and disadvantage that can pop up.

So you have a roll that fails but you have advantage that can be spent to make things better. You fire at a stormtrooper, miss, but hit the panel behind him and close the blast doors, cutting off reinforcements.

It's organic and fun as shit.

Eclipse Phase is good, if your party is okay talking about political ideas without getting super butthurt about it.

Red Markets is a good one that's coming out soon but there are preview PDFs of the rules bouncing around the place. TL;DR is that it's like, the gold rush that happens after the zombie apocalypse. You play survivors who are basically monetizing their murder hobo status to buy their way into the safe zone.

Better Angels is a fun fuck-around with morality and capes. In the setting, the only way you get powers is by possession by a supernatural entity, typically an angel or demon - and you weren't lucky enough to get the angel. So, you play a supervillain/superhero but you also play the possessing demon of one of the other members in the group. While the villain/heroes are out doing their thing, the demons have their own agenda of slowly convincing their hosts to sin more and more, in order to eventually be able to drag them to hell. The humans want this because the demonic powers they have get stronger the more sinful they are and some powers require actively getting more evil to turn on.

GURPS can work really well for non combat campaigns and combat is there when you need it and can be resolved quickly if done correctly as one good shot or stab can easily take down the average unarmored person.

>>50349692

Fiasco. Lot of room for violence but the emphasis being on improv, noir and crime means you're also doing a lot of character work and social interaction.

I'm terrible at describing things, but here goes.

Strike! is a d6 based, generic, modular RPG. The design goals were to make the game fast, with the least possible amount of time spent on looking up modifiers, tables, tallying dice and just about anything that isn't playing/making decisions.

The book tries to pretend that the main mode of play is a very lightweight, somewhat narrative styled (I'm told it's somewhere between PbtA and Torchbearer, but I found it to be more like Fate/ FAE) game, where a character is made up of skills, tricks and complications. You either make those up, or select an origin and a background that determines them. Attempting something risky is a d6 roll, and depending on the outcome (modified by you being trained in the skill or not) you get some combination of success (yay!) twist (something doesn't go as planned) cost (you need to sacrifice something). Tricks let you auto succeed in some narrow field, Complications can be used to gain Action points to fuel your Tricks with.

There are lots of rules variants beyond that (tiered skills, wealth rules, special types of skill checks, etc.), they take up the first 90 pages before the main draw of the system appears, which is the tactical combat module.

The combat is turn based, pretty standard fare if you have played any of the modern D&Ds. It's somewhere half-way between 4e and 5e. The cool stuff is that it embraces 4e's concept of roles, and runs wild with it. You make the combat side of your character mechanically separate from the skills side (fluff should still be made to somehow make sense) by combining a Class with a Role. Classes are mostly generic and usually are based around some sort of gimmick. The Martial Artist is melee focused and stance based, the Archer is ranged focused soft control, the Summoner summons, the Buddies has a pet he does combo attacks with, etc. The Roles give passive boosts on top of that that helps you fill a battlefield role.

>>50360439
>cont

Strikers hit fast and hard, Blasters blow shit up, Defenders draw fire to themselves, Controllers move around and debuff enemies, Leaders heal and reposition allies.

In practice, this means that each class can be built 4-5 different ways (not every combination works well, but there are some weird ones you wouldn't think would work but then do). For example, there's a Necromancer class. You could take Defender and make it into a vampiric knight kind of thing, the Blaster and explode corpses with your poisons, the controller and slow, weaken and curse enemies etc.

In combat, teamwork is key, and correct application of your abilities makes the group more than just the sum of their parts; it is a wonderful feeling when a plan comes together.

Setting up combat is also quite easy, enemies can be built point-buy or you can use the pre-built ones with tweaks. HP and damage never gets really high either. The hardest part is probably making the map.

There's also feats and some setting ideas and other alternate rules, but that's the gist of it. Basically, if you like squad based tactical combat, and don't mind it having a very gamist bent and the need to fluff things, Strike! has got you covered.

>>50337631
I can vouch for this one
>>50337729
And this one

>>50360439
>>50360514
Not the poster of this but another major draw of the game is that it is setting neutral. Want a high fantasy game with dragons kidnapping princesses? You can do that.
Want a buddy cop sitcom sort of setting? Also doable.
How about a sci-fi setting where you're blowing shit up on Mars to bring water back to it somehow? Totally possible.
How about Conan-like fantasy? High seas adventures? Star Wars? Star Trek? Literally, it's all about what the GM is presenting and what the players bring to the table.

>>50360719
Worth noting that it's also a weakness in the sense that the players/GM _need_ to bring their stuff to the table, instead of it being done for them. If there was more published material/playbooks, this'd be easy to sidestep though.

I think it's uniquely suited to genres where fights are a central piece. This makes it real good for playing in the settings of a lot of team based vidya (WoW, LoL, Overwatch), on top of strategy RPGs (XCOM, FFT), as well as some comic boobks, Shounen, Mecha, Magical girl genres.

And of course, it basically entirely supplanted D&D for me, if I ever want to DM again.

I used it for Armored Core, and it worked pretty well.

Converted it to hexes, renamed/tweaked a few things, and downloaded a hex pack for battletech for maps.

I mean, I didn't need to do all that, but I felt like it.

>>50361041
Sounds legit. It is true the game has a great combat system and all and it does meld well with certain types of tropes in regards to the games better than others. Didn't think Armored Core though...

I showed it to one of my players and they read it some and decided they'd like to play it in a modern like setting but with magic (not like Shadowrun, per se, but more like magic girls or Harry Potter or something) and I said I'd think about it.

Hmm... Maybe some sort of crazy anime-esque trope crossover game?

>>50361077
That was actually the reaction I got from the first group I showed it to as well. It was more "urban fantasy" than "anime crossover" though. Best way to go about imo would be to sit down with the players, see what characters they want to build and build the setting details around them (admittedly, not all players are good at this; I had a player in a different group who was literally incapable of making decisions like that, and it was painful as fuck).

There's a rules light system called Tension or something that works around a Jenga Tower it calls the Tower of Doom. Instead of rolls, players draw blocks from the tower to complete actions. If it falls, their character is killed off at the first convienient oppotunity and can't do anything that would require a draw in the meantime. Instead of character sheets, the players have a questionnaire about their character that they fill in.

It's pretty good for one shots, so you should have a look at it. There's a Tabletop episode about it, though I know how fa/tg/uys feel about that.
