Alien Brain Worms wants to Steal the Ancient Space Ruin which will Fix everything #LasersAndFeelings
Ran a game of #GunElf ( A #LasersAndFeelings hack) for 2 players last night. ~2.5 hours. The Crew set their problem to "Betrayed" and the mission roll gave me "But... it's a setup!", so of course the missing former leader was the BBEG at the end. Good times were had. I also found a convenient character sheet template on the #PlayRole #VTT app, so setup for online play was pretty painless.
#TTRPG #RPG
RPG with great character gear: this is a bit older by now but I quite like how gear works in OVA. Basically you just assign some positive and negative modifiers (the same ones that also describe your character) and that's it! As long as you use the item, these modifiers apply to your character. It's really simple and elegant.
Quick to learn: Lasers & Feelings. It's just one page, how much quicker do you want it?

For a #ttrpg that is easy to use, I pick #LasersAndFeelings. It’s a simple #OnePageRPG with everything you need right there, character creation, ship creation, simple die mechanic, and adventure generator. It does assume you’re familiar with the tropes of campy scifi like #StarTrek, but if that’s not you, there are a gazillion reskins of the game you could try instead. A bunch of them are listed on the Writing Alchemy website: https://writingalchemy.net/resources/lasers-and-feelings-hacks/
You're a teenager. You're a zookeeper. It's a fantasy magical petting zoo. It's a lasers and feelings game about being a Teenage Magical Zookeeper.
A game about being potentially very useless at your summer job whilst just trying to make it to the end of the day without being set on fire, bitten, covered in slime, or yelled at by the visitors.

2nd in one-shot series : Lasers & Feelings
After a March session of #SpeedRune for our background setting we reconvened today for an intro of the same with additional player and character and then segued into a multiverse jump into #lasersandfeelings . What fun to be the emcee and turn it over to a GM. Amazing session with tie in to the home 'Verse and some great cinematic scenes. And our new player was playing a #ttrpg for the first time. Third session will introduce a brand new #pbta game.

@sil #Herokids is stripped down to the bones while still being a proper RPG. It's designed for kids, so it may actually be too rule light for you.
Another very #rulelight #ttrpg is #RisusRPG. The basic rules are available for free on itch.
In alternative, what about one page games such as #lasersandfeelings an all of its derivatives?
Necesitamos un hack cómico de Lasers and Feelings sobre agentes secretos. Uno en el que elijas si intentar las cosas de forma seria y profesional o de la manera más ridícula y extraña posible.
Necesitamos...
...Mortadelo and Filemón.
If you thought I would write only one page about a set of one page rules, you were sadly mistaken. Suit up with Lexington Flash the snarky engineer of the Raptor and get ready for Lasers & Feelings!

@apontious If you want to go *super* rules light, you could fashion it like #LasersAndFeelings. Is each zombie PC more a Walker or a Runner? But of course, it really depends on what you're going for with this adventure idea, both in vibe and in what you think such PCs would actually *do*.
@Role_Play_Chat Which game I play does depend on the players and the time/mood. We have our regular games in #Genesys, but if I get together for a one-shot with old friends, I'll use #LasersAndFeelings for something quick and no-prep. And if I have just an hour or two for a one-off, I'll use #GMless #AWeekendInTheCountry.
24. Complex/simple RPG you play?
I think Exalted and Shadowrun are among the most complex games I've played regularly.
Pretty sure Lasers & Feelings is the simplest I've ever played/run.
Champions and Powers & Perils would be the most complex games I've ever made characters for (although Champions looked like it would not be that complex in play once the characters were done).
24) Complex/Simple #TTRPG
Simple: Lasers & Feelings.
John Harper's free, one-page Star Trek pastiche is an extremely fun little game that always turns out a fun and ofen surprisingly profound story.
Complex: Cortex Prime.
The book presents a toolkit to assemble an RPG out of common parts, and the "assemble, roll, and choose" dice pool mechanic is fiddly and unlike any other. But once you get past the learning curve, it all makes perfect sense!
