Hi there,
So, since there isn’t any dedicated thread about pen and paper RPG, I thought it would be a good idea to start one.
When I was younger I wanted to play so badly, but my enthousiam wasn’t shared by my friends a the time. And then covid came, and RPGs became a way to maintain a social life , through visio conference first and when the lockdown was finally over, around a real table.
I improvised myself as the GM, and overall the experience was ( still is) awesome.
With my table we started to play the role play adaptation of the french graphic novel “Donjon” by Joan Sfar and Lewis Trondheim , mostly because it was the only RPG that I had at the time. The game mecanics were very simple and it proved to be perfect for beginners. If you don’t know about these graphic novel I can’t recommand it enough, there is an english edition here DUNGEON – NBM Graphic Novels
It feels as first like a Dungeons and dragon parody, with anthropomorphic animals, but it has it’s specific tone, and what makes it special is that the serie expand through a very vast array of time (basically you can follow characters when they are babies, to grown up , then old and the ambiance really changes too, to med fantasy at first , then postapocalypic setting.
Then we started playing other, more traditional games, like Tale from the loop, DnD , Alien.
But the game I enjoyed the most is by far Warhammer fantasy roleplay, I really love the game setting, the dirty hopeless ambiance and the fact that players are really defenseless against the chaos forces.
What about the games you like to play ?
The Star Wars games were always fun outside of the wizards of the coast stuff.
I have resorted to solo RPGs…a more narrative experience.
