Comment on What's your not-D&D RPG, and why? in ~games.tabletop
Dooplan LinkI'm not going to go super deep into all the games people have already mentioned, but a short-list of what we've played with our in-person group so far is: D&D (4th, 5th) we actually played 4th...I'm not going to go super deep into all the games people have already mentioned, but a short-list of what we've played with our in-person group so far is:
- D&D (4th, 5th)
- we actually played 4th after 5th and only briefly
- Pathfinder 2nd edition
- started playing this right after it launched and still play this! Highly recommend it if you like D&D, and I'm actually a developer of a third party app that helps you run games as a GM (ready set dice)
- FATE
- We played one game in a Harry Potter setting, it's way less number-y compared to D&D-likes, but it's awesome to get people to be creative and I find myself and our group borrowing a lot from it in other games.
- Call of Cthulhu 7th
- We play this off-and-on, especially around Halloween or whenever I feel like making a cool session. I've also made a pretty bomb (if I say so myself) track
- Dread
- We haven't actually played this, but I borrowed the tower mechanic for a Call of Cthulhu game!
So, now something no one has mentioned yet; Ten Candles!
Let me tell you about it.
Ten Candles
These things are true, the world is dark.
What is the idea? Well, basically you and your group will be embarking on a story, which you co-author. The twist is, that in the end everyone dies. Additionally you have 10 lit candles on your table, which extinguish either due to bad rolls or naturally. Once the final one is out, the story is over.
It's described as a tragic horror game, and I honestly loved the session we played. This video gives a really awesome idea and honestly does a great job at making you feel the way a session goes
So give that a try! The book takes quite long to arrive, but is well worth it if you like collecting physical copies like me :)
- D&D (4th, 5th)

Dooplan LinkHey folks. Another Reddit refugee, mostly use it through Apollo. Been on Reddit for 11 years, most of my interests being gaming, TTRPGs, board games, technology, security and programming. CheersHey folks. Another Reddit refugee, mostly use it through Apollo.

I watch pre-game discharge by Lyle Wrath for the bigger stuff (once a month-ish show) and day to day stuff finds my way through other YouTubers I follow.
Definitely recommend the former, it’s entertaining and informative on a bunch of releases each month.
