I wanted to give a shout out to this awesome all in 1 collection of lightweight D100 games called the 4D-Mixtape.

There is a bunch of different genres from Wolf’s Bane (werewolf game for your furry friends) to Dunks & Crossovers a basketball game (for your short friends who like hoops).

So far I played two of them -Twisted floorboards and Primetime. Both very different, action packed but built on top of a simple D100 system they provide in the book.

I also ran some data mining on the 4DMixtape pdf files and found references to DLC and pay2win content as well as space-jam skins for Dunks&Crossover with clear references to Lola Bunny.

Jokes aside I highly recommend checking this game out. It’s pay what you want. I have had the pleasure to play with some of the guys that worked on this project and admired the teamwork and collaboration they put into it.

I by no means benefit from this post. It’s cool to see people making content like this I hope more communities in the ttrpg space try something like this out.

Just kind of interested in why you guys play ttrpgs? What do you like about them and what makes them a unique hobby to you?

If you respond I would be interested in knowing you’re a player GM or both.

I started playing roleplaying games about a two years ago after a long hiatus. I got interested in this hobby because of roleplaying. I used to play a lot of video games and went hard in anything I played min maxing and theory crafting. I actually wanted a break from that after realizing what really drew me into games initially was the active participation in the fictional universe. I just got lost in the obsession of levers and numbers.

What made me fall in love with ttrpgs was in character gameplay. I love how fast the games are this way and how active the world feels like this.

What I have found though is a lot of the hobby enjoys the game as more of a board game, wargame or a social hangout or more narrative type play where you sort of describe your turns in a longer moment to moment style of play.

It actually seems like in character gameplay is a small minority in a hobby about tabletop roleplaying. I could be wrong but I’ve played in quite a few different spaces and found this to be the case.

So yeah what do guys like about this hobby and what do you think makes it unique? Are you a player or a GM. Is your table a mix of player types?

Edit - just wanted to say thanks for all the comments I have really enjoyed reading your responses!
