I've been thinking of running a tabletop version of Darkest

Depends how closely you want to cleave to the game. Are you trying to rehash the game in tabletop, or just have something with the same general tone and some of the mechanics (dungeon>town>dungeon cycle, stress, etc)?

>>50943698
I'd like to carry over as many of the mechanics as possible, but I'm more than willing to cut things out to make it work more as an experience than as a rehash. I'm not worried about variety from the game itself as I'm pretty familiar with homebrewing stuff by now and can manage if I get the system together, but I need to actually get that together first.
If there's a system that already exists that would work with basically the same experience though I wouldn't mind just learning that. It just sounded fun to port it and I was interested in the challenge.

I'll bump once to see if anyone has anything else they wanna add, but if not then I'll let this die. Just wanted to see what you guys had to say on the matter.

To be honest you would be best off just grabbing one of the higher lethality OSR games. Try LotFP or Into the Odd.

The best bits of Darkest Dungeon aren't the shuffle mechanics or the town cycles but the atmosphere and style. I would preserve that rather than the mechanical end.

>>50945305
Any of those you'd recommend over the others?

I wasn't interested in bringing back shuffling or anything like that. I was more going to bring it into a roleplay style of going out to do missions for cleaning up the world and having a tangible effect, coming back to new events, resupplying any learning more about the world, etc. I agree the game is strongest in its presentation though.

Everything you mention can and probably should be done via roleplay and DM style rather than specific mechanics. Actually this style and the whole game is definitely up the OSR alley.

Also some anon from /osrg/ made this.

Yeah I really want it to feel more like a tabletop than Darkest Dungeon, but I feel like the game has so many things in the numbers that lend itself to tabletop that I wanna give it a try.

Thanks a ton m8. I'm not super familiar with OSR, but I'll give this a read and see how it feels

Why would you want to adapt the worst part of the game to table top?
choose a fantasy system a make a translation, hell 5th edition has pretty mugh all you need, just change the names of some clases and remove races to fit in the mood.

>>50947907
I'm confident I can translate the rest without the numbers. I just wanted to see if it would be easier to keep the numbers in game, cause I don't think they're that bad or unworkable, or if I should just go with a new system.

5e could work, but it has some very different rules and I feel like that's more trouble than it's worth for what I'm looking for.

lotfp or WHRP 2e

>>50948338
Thanks! Hearing and seeing a lot of LotFP it seems. Collecting stuff to read about that now.

>>50943675
Heard Torchbearer might be what youre looking for, never checked it out myself tho

>>50948460
Yeah it seems I'll have to check that out as well.
