Does anyone know about a good tabletop game that focuses on PVP and uses six-sided dice?

I'm just curious about any games that have an interesting mechanic that uses dice. Or something that is just plain fun.

FREE Ready to print miniature - Psionic Embrio

Hey everyone!

About a week or two ago, I launched my own MyMiniFactory page, where I create and share 3D-printable miniatures. Each model is fully pre-supported, so they’re ready to print right away!

As a thank-you gift, I’d like to share a free mini with you. If you’re into unique, small creatures, feel free to check it out and download it if you like!

Thank you for taking a look, and I’d love to hear any feedback!

Mediterranean card games?

Whenever I go to a Mediterranean country, like Spain or Italy, I usually notice a couple of grandpas sitting around either at a cafe or in a park playing cards. And I’m always curious what they’re playing.

So I’m just wondering, are there any games famous / common in these parts of the world you could expect a couple of grandpas in a park to be playing?

"AMOK" a quick and easy skirmish game

Howdy, I have spent a couple of months working on a quick-to-learn skirmish game for my D&D group to play when we have time and I think it's safe to say we love it! It all started when we were waiting for that last player who always showed up late to the sesh, we were ready to sink our teeth into the game but had to wait, we considered pulling out a random board game but by the time we'd be getting rolling the player would show up, so I thought I could throw something together to fill that need, and I think we have. Creating a combatant and setting up the game board doesn't take more than 5 minutes and then you can jump right into tearing each other apart. One of the most fun parts about this is, and I quote from my buddy who's played "We can kill each other without being attached to a character and then just remake one." And this game isn't anything super special, it's just fun! And my group has enjoyed it, I don't plan right now on doing anything with it like publishing or selling it, but I thought you lot might want to try it out! So I'll attach the pdf and please let me know y'all's thoughts! AMOK Rules

OverPower Revival + Print and Play Decks

New publisher "Lazarus Rising Games" (hah) is resurrecting the OverPower card game. I was a big fan of the original game back in the 90s. I know a few of the folks on the design team for the revival and it looks so impressive. Really gorgeous artwork. They just released some print and play demo decks.

why isn´t there any other games like chess?

Knowing how popular chess is, it´s weird there is no more games like them eg. symetrical (or close to being symetrical) 1 v. 1 complex no luck involved board games. Go is similar and is great. Also there is a lot of variations. And i guess chekers. But it feels like it should be its own big genre but it isn´t. If you know any other game like that please tell me because i would like to try it out. Go is amazing but is such a shame there is no online comunity to play with like there is on chess.

Help! I am currently set to be DnD DM soon and I need some advice on 3d printing to print models.

For context, my models should be detailed, as I want to paint them too, and if possible the printer shouldn't make us go in debt. Any suggestions are helpful, including filament tips too!

https://preview.redd.it/dwcle6eu8wwd1.png?width=1305&format=png&auto=webp&s=5f0dac426aafc535e147b6c933743e3442ed8939

Hey guys, we from Internal Rock Studio are back with a Development Update of our Squad Based TTRPG inspired by Battle Brothers. Today we want to talk about character creation and made a big post about it here.

If you never heard about us, we made a itchio page for the rule set. You can get a rough idea there, what the rule set is about.

If you want to be kept in the loop you can join our patreon for free, we will make public posts about its development there. If you want to go above and beyond you can support us there, we will use the money to improve the project.

We also made a discord to hang out and talk, we would love if you join us.

InternalRockStudio out.

Chivalry is Dead: Race for the Crown - Campaign ending soon

Hi All,

So in the light promotion category. Our new game is funded on Kickstarter and the campaign ends in a little less than a week. It’s a fantasy chariot racing game featuring various D&D-style races in a 1 or 2 lap race. There are 8 teams to choose from, including Dwarves, Goblins, and Kobolds. Players can set traps and sabotage the chariots, adding an exciting twist to the competition! We'd love for you to take a look and your support of course if it looks like something you'd be interested in.

Selling Homebrew TTRPG Stuff

So I am a freelance writer and I want to expand what I do to make premade adventures. But I can't really find a definitive answer on selling homebrewed content. The stuff wouldn't be just for DnD stuff but other kinds of TTRPGs of fandoms (Avatar the Last Airbender, My Little Pony, etc). I'm just kind of lost on what is allowed and is not allowed in this scope. The last thing I need and want is a company emailing me and taking me to court for something like this. I figured IP specifics like names, locations, etc, would be off-limits. But what about me using the TTRPG system, is that allowed? Plots would be original with custom maps and characters. Any and all help on this manner would be great, thanks.

You will witness the wonders of space and memories of your life on Earth, but be careful! There might also be problems on the ship.

All you need to play is a deck of poker cards, a d20, and something to record your logs.

Laika, Come home will be available on November 1st at: https://master-bishop.itch.io

Best superhero genre for PvP

Im looking to branch out with my table away from Dungeons and Dragons and into other tabletop systems, and my players have a hankering to have half of them play heroes and the other half play villains. As a DM, I dont mind refereeing pvp, but I want whatever system we choose to be fair but still not limit creativity.

We tried GURPS but some people didnt like it. Mutants and Masterminds was fun but it wasnt balanced for a pvp type of experience (and I wager most of them wont be either but it is what it is). D&D5e is obviously not an option, or any of the pathfinders, we are specifically looking for something more of a modern setting like DC or Marvel

Physical building component games for kids (6yo)

I have a kid that want to invent and build. We have tried many ttg that involved more, imaginary building scenarios but he eventually just wants to stack the cards and resources to actually build something. Does anyone here have recommendations for cooperative, low conflict/crashing scenario, building games for younger players? We’re looking for games where you actually build a structure or use the resources you collect to assemble things. We have so many HABA games but he’s ready to graduate to something with potentially more game mechanics.

Thanks!

Best games to start a Collection?

I'm starting a game board collection to play with my friends. I'd be interested in games that doesn't have many text, because I'll buy it in English because it's much cheaper than in my language, and not all of my friends can speak English.

The games I have: Catan, Dixit, Azul, Ticket to Ride, coup, exploding kittens

Is there a list of TTRPG creators who use generative AI for their products?

As the title states; Is there a list somewhere that keeps track of TTRPG creators using generative AI? Keeping up with who not to support is tricky, and while I fear that gen. AI is here to stay, I think having east-to-find resources to share with others who don't want to support theft would be lovely to have.

Just launched my first game!

I had quite a journey building my first game. I feel very grateful for the tabletop community on Reddit who has shared their useful and positive feedback with me.

For those that are interested, I just launched my game about an hour ago. It’s called “Soularis” on Kickstarter.

It’s my first time launching a game, so I would like to know how am I doing with my campaign page. Feel free to comment on the campaign and give me your honest feedback here! I truly appreciate it.

Galactic War Tabletop Game – Looking for Players!

Join the First Grand Conflict in a Narrative Galactic War Tabletop Game!

Are you a fan of narrative-driven tabletop wargames like Warhammer? Then this is the perfect opportunity to dive into a brand-new galactic war game where you can shape the story! Whether you're a seasoned wargamer or new to narrative campaigns, this is your chance to join the first grand war.

What’s the Game About? Set in a galaxy torn by faction wars, players will step into an evolving story, making decisions that influence the outcome of battles and the course of the war. Everything is driven by narrative—you can do anything as long as it fits the world and is approved by the group. This freedom allows you to craft unique strategies and moments that feel like they’re pulled straight out of a sci-fi epic.

For this first war, players will align with one of two factions:

  • Dieselpunk Faction: Masters of machinery, this faction uses industrial firepower and mechanized units to dominate. Their strength lies in overwhelming their foes and bending the resources of planets to fuel their war machine.
  • Nature Faction: Guardians of the natural order, they wield elemental powers and command ecosystems to reclaim or protect worlds from industrial destruction. Expect powerful synergies between units and environmental manipulation.

You’ll be battling on Arkaia, a planet with diverse environments like the Volcano of Cinderspire, the mystical Eternal Hot Springs, and the towering Skyroots that connect the planet’s ecosystem. Each of these landmarks adds a layer of strategic depth to the game, offering unique benefits and challenges.

Key Features:

  • Narrative-Driven Gameplay: Your choices and actions will shape the story and the fate of the galaxy. The game encourages creative freedom, allowing you to attempt anything, as long as it fits within the rules of the universe.
  • Customizable Heroes: Build your hero with specific HP, Armor, and Shield stats, and equip them with unique gear and abilities.
  • Base Building & Resource Management: Construct and fortify your bases using construction points, adding another layer of long-term strategy to the war effort.
  • Dynamic Environments: The battlefield isn’t static—volcanic eruptions, mystical forces, and environmental features will all impact the flow of battle.

Why You Should Join: If you enjoy games like Warhammer 40k but crave deeper narrative elements and the freedom to build your own story, this game is for you! You'll be part of an evolving narrative with limitless possibilities, and your input could help shape the direction of the game as it grows.

How to Play: We’ll be playing remotely via Roll20, so anyone can join regardless of location! I’m flexible with game times and open to introducing new players to the system.

Whether you’re here to command the tides of war or tell an epic story, I’d love for you to join! Feel free to reply or DM me for more details. Let’s wage our first war on Arkaia!
