I wanna capture Darkest Dungeon as best i can in a table-top game (a 4-5 session short campaign/adventure).

What system would you recommend i check out?

I mainly play D&D 5e, FF Star Wars and usually Dungeon World when people can't show up but what else is out there that could help me portray a dark, gritty, dungeon setting with mechanics that somehow reinforce it?

I know this has probably be bought up before so excuse me on that, the archives didn't have any previous threads

Burning wheel maybe? Has some brutal injury rules, and magic can just straight up kill you if you cast wrong. No stress management, but you can incorporate that into a game almost regardless of system.

Torchbearer, bro. I think they're even coming out with a supplement for Darkest Dungeon.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3d20_system

Retarded, convoluted system that makes most tasks impossible to conduct, uses few different measures (percentages, direct values and non-decimal fractions) and is a sure-fire way to decide to play something better and actually enjoyable.
Perfectly captures the nature of Darkest Dungeon

I also recommend making an effort and accquire some fucking taste

Torchbearer is best I think, Lamentations of the Flame Princess might be good but I'm not a fan of the system.

Cheers, anons. Been searching through forums and whatnot since posting the thread, LotFP and Torchbearer seem to be the ones to go for, thankfully i got some free cash to spend because busy work so i'll look into both and probably buy copies :)

Barbarians of Lemuria or Torchbearer. Failing that, there IS a multiplayer Dark Souls boardgame.

Do you mind if its sci-fi?

Blades in the Dark is the closest to a DD experience.

Shady characters - check
Characters work for a greater organization - check
Organization slowly improves with characters - check
Other organizations compete for resources - check
Episodic missions - check
Weal or woe RNG - check
Stress mechanics - check
Stress relief may result in missing characters - check

I full well plan on making this pitch after my current 5e campaign.

Strike! with on-rest recovery rules. Possibly steal some more hardcore skill/sanity system from somewhere, but just appropriating LotFP or Torchbearer skills/equipment works.

Instead of working hard on the answer, I'll just give you this:

And if you don't like spending 30 minutes on it, just roll to 17:10

Long, but I admit - true and well-balanced between pointing out all the good and bad stuff.

But it still doesn't make your original post (assuming you are the same anon) anything more than baiting.
