Tag: System of the Month EN Page 1 of 8

Have you ever wished that your heroic deeds were determined not just by raw numbers, but by the pure tension between hope and fear? That the world is shaped not only by the Game Master, but by the entire group at the table? If you’ve been nodding along while reading this, then you definitely need to take a look at Daggerheart!

What is Daggerheart?

Daggerheart is the fantasy roleplaying system from Darrington Press (famously known for Critical Role). It was developed to tell epic stories that focus primarily on the characters and celebrate the fine line between triumphant success and dramatic twists. In a world full of magic and danger, you step into the roles of brave heroes whose fates are inextricably linked to the forces of Hope and Fear.

The Highlights: Duality Dice & Narrative Freedom

Unlike classic systems that often rely on a single D20, Daggerheart utilizes a mechanic that transforms every roll into a narrative moment.

• Duality Dice: You always roll two 12-sided dice of different colors—one represents Hope, the other Fear. The total result determines whether you succeed, but which die is higher decides how that success (or failure) manifests.
• Success with Hope vs. Success with Fear: A success with Hope grants you additional resources and momentum. A success with Fear means you achieve your goal, but at a certain price… perhaps a new danger emerges, or the situation becomes dramatically complicated.
• Card-Based System: Instead of leafing through thick rulebooks, you use “Ancestry,” “Community,” and “Domain Cards.” These cards keep your abilities right at your fingertips, making character development tactile and intuitive.
• Collaborative Worldbuilding: Daggerheart places great emphasis on players and Game Masters creating the world together. Your backgrounds flow directly into the game world, turning every campaign into a unique community project.

Who hasn’t wondered whether the “helpful” mechanic next to you is actually fixing the engines or secretly activating the self-destruct sequence? Or whether the scratching in the ventilation shafts is just your imagination, right until a three meter tall Alien Queen is standing in the cockpit? If that sounds like your kind of fun, then you should definitely take a look at Nemesis

What is Nemesis?

Nemesis is a semi-cooperative board game that throws you and your crew right into a nightmare scenario on a crippled spaceship. You wake up from hibernation only to find: one of your crewmates is dead, the ship has sustained critical damage, and you are definitely not alone. Your goal? Survive and complete a secret mission. The catch? Every player has their own agenda, and it doesn’t always align with the survival of the entire group…

What makes it special: Atmosphere through Paranoia

Unlike purely cooperative games, Nemesis thrives on deep-seated mistrust between characters and merciless gameplay mechanics.

• The Noise Mechanic: Every movement creates noise. Anyone running too fast through the corridors will lure “Intruders” directly to them. Silence is your best friend, but time is running out while the ship slowly falls apart.
• Secret Objectives: Do you just need to make sure the ship reaches Earth? Or is your order to ensure a certain crewmate doesn’t survive the trip? You never know who is truly on your side.
• Cinematic Storytelling: The game generates moments that feel like a Hollywood blockbuster. From heroic last-second rescues to cold-blooded betrayal right in front of the escape pod, every round is unique.

The crew doesn’t just fight aliens, they fight the circumstances:

• How do you repair the engines when you’re out of cards and something heavy is breathing behind the next door?
• Do you trust the pilot when he claims the coordinates are set to “Earth” while he nervously glances toward the escape pods?

Anyone who has ever wondered if three goblins in a trench coat actually pass for a single adult, or if a locked door can be persuaded to open through pure seduction, should take a look at Goblin Errands.

What is Goblin Errands?

Goblin Errands is a “no-prep, rules-light” role-playing game where chaos is practically guaranteed. In a world that was definitely not built for small, clumsy creatures with questionable decision-making skills, you step into the roles of goblins. Your goal? To complete seemingly mundane tasks, so-called “errands.”

What makes it special: There is no traditional combat, no hit points, and above all, no complicated preparation. It is the perfect system to put all those absurd plans into action that would usually fail in “more serious” RPGs due to the consequences (or the game master).

How is it played?

Instead of wading through endless rule tables, Goblin Errands relies on narrative freedom and comedic timing. Since there are no HP, “failure” is not the end of a character, but usually the beginning of an even funnier situation.

The goblins don’t fight dragons; they fight the pitfalls of everyday life:

• How do you buy a loaf of bread when your only currency is three shiny buttons and a dead fish?
• How do you deliver a package when you get distracted by a particularly beautiful mushroom along the way (and promptly mutate into one yourself)?

Nimble 2e is a fast-paced, tactical, and fully 5e-compatible TTRPG designed for groups who consider cumbersome and complicated rules a waste of time. It combines the best elements of the most popular role-playing games to finally eliminate the problem of endless battles. The system gives players and game masters more interesting decisions to make, reduces waiting times, and puts the focus back on experiencing epic stories.

Nimble 2e originally started as a “hack” in the dark corners of the role-playing community to break the inertia of traditional combat and shift the focus to experiencing stories.

Some claim the system is so efficient that it blurs the line between strategy and pure intuition, while skeptics believe that the system’s deadly speed was only made possible by a pact with the dice gods!

Green Oaks is a role-playing game where each player takes on the role of an Elder living in Green Oaks, a charming, greenery surrounded structure. Rumors swirl that great treasures are hidden in its basement, though some believe the entire building is actually an alien base conducting experiments on its elderly residents. Local youths whisper that the structure is built over an ancient Native American cemetery, while others say it’s the very mouth of Hell.
