dimension 20 moment

great video, I’ve DM a lot of horror but have never been able to evoke the doppelganger theme of horror remotely close to Jacob in the video

Being on the receiving end of superior military might the player characters are forced into exploring the frontier to escape the military that has conquered or is in the midst of conquest.

Red Hand of Doom is a good inspiration for this premise.

The characters are hired to take a one-way boat journey to deliver a MacGuffin, they are shipwrecked or ambushed once they arrive and are effectively stranded in the frontier until they find a way back.

Gods of the Forbidden North is a good inspiration for this premise

There is some sort of valuable material in high supply but unknown locations within the frontier, the players are developing a stronghold or part of a stronghold that needs this material so the players are tasked with recovering it, during the course of it two factions come into focus one that is neutral or positive of the ecological harvesting as it expands civilization, while the other is negative of the ecological harvesting.

Land of Eem sounds like it could be a good choice, “the game combines Lord of the Rings high fantasy epicness with a heavy dose of Muppets-like whimsy and a dash of Mad Max dystopia.” They have a free quickstart so you could try it out.

I would’nt be able to speak to what is cool but I’ll share some newer titles that seem to capture the current trend.

Shadowdark is the ultimate Old School Renascence game using the style and sensibilities of classic D&D while updating it to use modern mechanics that make it more approachable.

In Mythic Bastionland you begin as a young knight errant, seeking the glory to lead warbands, earn a place in court, and rule your own domain. Glory is found in hunting the Myths of this world, manifesting them into reality while protecting the Realm from their strange influence.

Mothership a sci-fi horror RPG where you and your crew try to survive in the most inhospitable environment in the universe: outer space!

Urban Shadows is an urban fantasy tabletop roleplaying game in which mortals and monsters vie for control of a modern-day city in a political battleground layered just under the reality we think we know.

I think its a pretty great time for smaller publishers so finding something that fits the genre your group is looking for.

I know you said no DnD clones but Draw Steel and Daggerheart are pretty good alternatives, Draw Steel is very tactical where as Daggerheart has some meta aspects that help storytelling.

Oh neat, have you done any prewritten scenarios? Any advice?

Hey there are you still still interested in participating? Thanks!

Hello I wanted to see if you were still interested in participating, thank you!

Thank you for including my post! I would love for more trans folks to join the horror rpg one-shots but I know the time can be weird, if anyone is interested please let me know I can be flexible with the start time to accommodate. I love helping folks get into the hobby

Ok I’ll put your name down for Friday/Saturday and check in with you in a couple weeks.

Neat the ones I had planned were neither of those, the third party content for Mothership is amazing!

Thanks for cross posting

Sounds good I’ll write your name down, what scenarios did you run? I’d like to pick ones you haven’t experienced
