Hello Sky, I just arrived here and look forward to connecting again with the many TTRPG creators and fans I lost when I left Twitter months ago. #TTRPG and video game enthusiast, connoisseur of VTTs. I love the indies. D&D, not so much, except BG3. Also, sometimes publish on chaosmeister.itch.io .

I love the genre mashup. Give me all the Golden Girls/Cthulhus and WWII/Draculas you've got.
But I'm also looking for non-mashups. Sometimes it feels like the industry has an allergy. Westerns without magic. Drama without aliens. Detectives without Cthulhu.

Dare to Play it Straight
The rarest tabletop genre is the simplest one. A call for more anti-mashups.

After perusing the physical copy of The Exorcist's Codex that Two Starving Gnolls sent me, I've now purchased the PDFs and late pledged their Winchester Tales supplement.
We're currently neck-deep in a Cthulhu campaign, so I don't know when I'll play it, but this hits that Penny Dreadful vibe I love

It's real. I actually love to roll dice. But I prefer games that clearly say "Just roll when dramatic situation X", for the way they are written and designed. Most games that work well with more rolling are way too heavy and complex for me. I still love the G in #ttrpg
Dice when?
That probably sums up many challenges people have with learning different TTRPGs. They either reach for the dice too much or they avoid them like the plague.
In fact, they find some way of #ttrpg playing that's on either side of this spectrum and cling to that, no matter the game.

Outgunned is my fav game and has replaced Savage Worlds as my genre neutral go to. OG is truly Fast Furious Fun, with gameplay centered around theatre of the mind, a fun risk/reward push mechanic, and a cinematic style in the literal sense, i.e. written by film peeps to emulate action films. #ttrpg

Why do so many solo games and systems rely on multiple degrees of success ? Why not a simple and strait forward binary result distribution!
A binary approach is simpler, faster, and easier to manage.
I have an idea why and I think it's about both time, and math.
