Hello! I hope I am not off topic, this is literally my first day here (ok, maybe I should wait and know the community a bit better but I 'll try to be slightly bolder…if it’s not ok just let me know). I understand that by choice there are no super focused communities to avoid an excessive fragmentation. So I wonder: is this the good place to discuss about tabletop RPGs? Coop/solo modes, too.

I am thinking about Call of Cthulhu, Savage Worlds, Gurps, Fate, … And not only the usual super famous one!

I am a long time GM and sometimes player, both IRL and online, and currently I am playing a lot in solo mode (with the help of the mythic GM emulator).

    The movie was quite fun! And it gave a good idea of a fun rpg session, but I prefer other game systems rather than DnD to have that kind of feeling!

    Have you ever thought about trying ttrpgs?

      Yeah but I wouldn’t know what the fuck to do, and I’d feel a bit cringy with what kind of roleplaying I need to do.

        I understand. Just keep in mind that you don’t need to “do the voices” or to treat it like an “improv theatre”, a perfectly fine way to play is to refer to your character in third person: “so and so knocks quietly on the door and asksis anybody in there?Before kicking the door open with a roaring laughter”… And another player could sigh in first person, rolling her eyes: “oh no! Not again!”.

        As for knowing what to do, that’s the job of the GM, to set up interesting scenes for the table!
