TTRPGs beyond DnD and fantasy (II)

In my previous post, I posted mini-reviews about roleplaying games that I’ve played that are not DnD, but that are mostly fantasy. This post is part two of that post, and lists RPGs I’ve played that are mostly not fantasy, at least not in the traditional medieval fantasy sense. Most of them are still full of fantasy elements or are straight up urban fantasy though.

I'm Arvan Eleron, a writer and gamer. My favorite games are RPGs, particularly tabletop D&D, but I'm also a sucker for a good adventure or turn based strategy game (and I love Gran Turismo, if I can ever figure out how to stream it).

The drag and drop support for the Esper Genesis roll20 character sheet is kinda broken. Trying to powers from the compendium into the character sheet is quite broken.

It's little frustrating…

Who else thinks #5e is a brand unto itself? I wonder if #WOTC was surprised by the popularity of 5e, and I don't mean strictly related to #DnD. I mean games like #LotR, Doctors and Daleks (#DoctorWho), #EsperGenesis, #AdventuresinMiddleEarth, etc.? Is the new #OGL designed to kill the 5e brand? #RPG #TTRPG #OpenDND

Another adventurous #scifi #dnd5e session in the books. The PCs got reprimanded for damaging the space station by Tony Reward (the local crime boss) because they made her business difficult. And they also got scolded by Station Security Chief Tynig making his life full of more paperwork. Then they took on the job of finding some drug pushers on the station and disrupting their business.

Notion has been critical in helping me organize my two #ttrpg campaigns effectively. One is a traditional #dnd campaign in a Homebrew setting. The other is a #espergenesis campaign (a sci-fi setting built on #dnd5e). Its so easy to check my notes and keep things up to date, and I can share each notebook separately. So each campaign group gets their own wiki style Lore site.

The party was asked to deal with an internal matter for a local gang. To get rid of a gang thug who is disrupting business. If they are successful, they will be building contacts within the space station. New opportunities will open up. Jimmy the Fist doesn't stand a chance.

Today's session was the first time the party acted in a populated area. They are trying to gain the favor of a local gang and raise some money. Space is expensive. Osiris Terminal is not ready for them.
