What tabletop RPG settings that you didn't create or know from tertiary media do you like the best? Which one stayed with you the longest? How did you get into them?¿

Today is Creator Day on @itch.io!

For 24 hours, Itch doesn't take a cut from sales, meaning creators keep 100% of the money you spend.

As is tradition, I want to spend the day boosting as many indie #ttrpg people as possible, so if you have games on Itch, drop them here!

What's the game design decision you had to make but still regret—either because you're convinced you could've made it work or you knew it wasn't going to (within your parameters) but still miss it?

ChangedStars answer by region of space!

Murai CoQ: none, Drones will protect you if necessary

Thren Fed.: none, violence is rare and handled by specialists

Artemisian Sprawl: none, droneswarms handle LtL takedown on rare exceptions

Coreward Frontier: knife, revolver, maybe a shotgun in the cab
#ttrpgquestion #ttrpg #worldbuilding

What precautions would the average person have in your world?

Do people feel safe enough to not need any weapons or is the world just dangerous enough that they may keep a blade or gun on them for defense?
Perhaps children have whistles to call for aide?

"how did you get into ttrpgs"

It was inevitable.
"how did you get into ttrpgs"

Oh, I was bitten by a radioactive ttrpg when I was younger.

Thinking about #ttRPG campaigns with tight concepts and enchanting entrances.

I keep coming back to Strahd, despite not being a huge fan of it or D&D. I think "you're stuck in the vampire's domain and he's fucking with you" is very effective, but the connection's usually impersonal, eg whoever.
