Scary edition of the weekly thread 👻

What have you been playing!

I've been playing the re4 dlc! And, on the other end of the spectrum, the original yoshis island, as I had never finished it before.

WWN is free, so I highly recommend!
I'll be happy if you at least take a quick look at other ttrpgs. :D

DnD is obviously the most famous one by far. The problem is that it's so famous, most people don't think that there are in fact other games out there, often with newer ideas and better design, faster and easier mechanics that does not get in the way.

There is also different styles to consider.
The combat focused every PC is an unkillable superhero powertrip style fantasy, like DnD5e and Pathfinder.
The lethal think before you act type old school style fantasy.
The narrative Powered by the Apocalypse style games.
The investigative thriller type GUMSHOE and Call of Cthulhu games.
Etc etc.

Im running my favorite of all time game Delta Green (great podcast here if you want to listen) as the main game right now and Forbidden Lands in between, for our fantasy fix. Great games as well!
