I just discovered Kobold Press’s Black Flag Role Playing system and Tales of the Valorant game being made. I had no idea that was a thing.

Added with the ones I did know about:

  • Critical Role’s Daggerheart
  • MCDM’s new RPG (Matt Colville’s company)
  • And we can count the Pathfinder 2’s updates if we want

I wonder how many other RPG’s are being made as a result of that debacle.

It does seem like a lot. WotC really shot themselves in the foot spawning all this new competition, didn’t they?

    I hope many.

    I tire of D&D’s stranglehold on players minds. It’s slowly getting easier and easier to suggest people read a second book, and while that’s great to see, we still have plenty of work to do.

    And, no, for the 11th time, I will not run my Star Trek game in 5e that’s insane.

      Star wars 5e mod (i hope that’s the name) is dope as hell. They ran it for a season of Dimension 20, it looked really fun if you like the crunch.

          I would say they are closer to clerics both mechanically (with the spectrum of martial to magical subclasses) and flavorwise

      Are you using the official Star Trek TTRPG? I definitely want to run something with the Lower Decks book for my party at some point. Maybe next First Contact Day

        Star Trek Adventures? Yeah! It’s a great book. It takes a little bit to wrap your head around, as it’s a little abstract in some places, but once you get it, it’s simple to play and works very well for emulating an episode of Star Trek.

        I had used Mongoose’s Traveller in the past, but ST:A is a far better system for the purpose.
