I am a huge fan of tabletop rpgs, especially of the indie variety (PBTA et al.). I think it's one of the highest forms of gaming since it is so responsive to a particular group of people and the stories they want to tell, which creates a lot of potential for cool leftist gaming experiences and stories. However, I haven't been able to find time to run a game for a few years (and I struggle playing solo rpgs since it's basically just creative writing) so I wanted to hear from chapos that are (or have been) in a campaign so I can live vicariously through you.
What game are you playing? What's your character (or favourite NPC) like? Any highlights from your campaign? Are you living out a revolutionary power fantasy or playing a chill "beer and pretzels" type game?
I absolutely love it, the system is well designed. I'm able to think of an encounter and quickly ensure its balanced and loot tabled in minutes. The 3 action economy in a turn is engaging, all classes are balanced imo, the monsters are well done!
The APs are combat slugs fests but the intrigue campaign i wrote has been going swimmingly
