Tabletop Hot Takes

After last episode, we decided we needed to talk about one of the most polarizing and essential systems in a TTRPG: The resolution system

Links for the systems mentioned:

• Or8cle - A GM-less TTRPG played with a Magic 8-Ball. Short and easy to run.
• Dread - A Horror TTRPG played with a Jenga tower. When the tower falls, so does your character.
• Lasers & Feelings - Mostly a discussion piece for the power of a simple system and how it can define the system as a whole.
• Camp Kingdom Come - A GM-less card-based TTRPG with very different from normal subject matter. A good exploration of how GM-less play can work.
• ImproVeto - More of an exercise for improv people, but can be a great tool for learning and growing as roleplayers.
• Let's Rob RJ McElhenny and Steal Her Golden Quill - Another GM-less game utilizing cards. Explored further in a next episode.

Some of the most unique TTRPGs we have found in our travels. This only scratches the surface of the good, weird stuff out there. There will be a part 2 and onward in the future.
