So the only game ive played was dnd and its hard finding a group for some reason and i dont really like that online stuff. so i like dnd but i have no-one to play with that i know and dnd can be complex at time.

is there by chance a free rpg tabletop game that is great for solo beginners who want to play more rpg’s and such? i just feel like i need something besides computer games to play/do.

    Apocalypse World is my all-time favorite RPG.

    • It’s got some crunch, just focused on narrative instead of combat
    • It does PVP better than any other system (while the PCs always start friendly, the MC should push conflicts among them)
    • Custom settings ensure player buy-in
    • It has the best GM advice section I’ve ever read included in the book
    • The psychic maelstrom gives the PCs an opportunity to get new information that is usually handled OOC
    • Campaigns are nice and tight, usually wrapping in a couple dozen sessions
    • The resolution mechanic always pushes the story forward, and partial successes are well implemented

    I enjoy other PbtA games, but Apocalypse World is the gold standard IMO.
