I’m always looking for new TTRPGs. I have a lot of different game styles I like to run, but I’ve come to think of what I’m looking for for games that really jive with me. I like games that have a mixture of crunch and player agency – 13th Age is in many ways my ideal game. So, here are 5 games I’ve not played yet that I’m itching (no pun intended, although I think you can get most of these on itch.io as it happens) to get down!

For legibility, I’ve put the links in a group at the bottom of this post, rather than clutter them through the paragraphs – most of these have free samples / quickstarts, so check them out!

While you’re reading this, I should tell you about my Patreon. Patrons get access to content 7 days before they hit this site, the chance to request articles or content, and the chance to play in one-shot games, for a very reasonable backer level of £2 per month. If you like what you read, want to support the blog, and have the funds for it, please consider supporting here. Telling people about the blog, and sharing links/retweeting is much appreciated also – thanks!
