Hey folks,

I've put out feelers before, but it's the new year and I wanted to look at offering to run some tabletop RPGs. Right now, I'm feeling pretty open system-wise (although would prefer the lighter-weight side of the hobby) and can help figure out schedule at some point. Also not necessarily looking for a long term commitment, but thought it might be fun to meet some folks and try out some games together.

If you're looking for a system I can recommend Akers' Comrades with some caveats.

It's a bit rules light and you need a party that's confident making decisions with a little scaffolding more than strict limits, which might make it tough for some who are new to TT.

It also sometimes feels like it wasn't all playtested. You may need to adapt some rules on the fly because there are little gaps occasionally, things like that.

But that said, you can have characters drop in and out for most missions because you're playing a cadre so no one is indispensable, and it's setting agnostic. My group is doing a WWI era lord of the rings situation where they simultaneously want to overthrow the dark lord and not fall prey to the "good guys" who want to eradicate everyone else. It comes with suggested settings too if homebrewing is too much work.

I can't necessarily commit to more right now but I will be keeping eyes on your project as it goes, maybe I can join you folks later.

EDIT: For an idea of how it works you could check out Red Game Table/Matryoshka, they are running a different iteration of the same overarching system, both are 'Powered by the Apocalypse' games.

Not a bad idea. I got a copy in a bundle at some point.

Tabletop Rpg posts, content, and recruitment posts.

Recruitment posts should contain what system is being played, CW for any adult/serious themes players need to be aware of and whether a game is beginner friendly.

An obvious reminder of no racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia.

Emphasis on small independent rpgs like the ones in the TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Texas but not against dnd stuff.
