I’ve been playing TTRPGs online with a group of friends for close to a decade and later this year we are planning an in-person meet up. I’d like to find some options for rule-light games that can be learnt quickly, and would play at least mildly well with upwards of 12 players for a mega-session, for 6+ hours of game.

Open to any suggestions to get the ball rolling. Rules-light, big group, go!

Edited to add:

Some suggestions I have received from other places. I haven’t looked into any of these but wanted to add for discussion’s sake:

  • Everyone Is John
  • the Borg games (Mork Borg, etc)
  • Fate
  • Tiny D6
  • Kobolds Ate My Baby
  • Daethmatch Island
  • Dream Askew
  • Shadowdark
  • Perils and Processes

If you have any experience with these, your input is appreciated!

    I’ve seen Shadow dark mentioned a few times, might be on the something!

    We have considered the risks and pitfalls and we are not interested in splitting.

      tbh i think any reasonably simple and fast game could work for your endeavor(the borgs, cairn and so forth), if you accept the inherent challenges of your higher player count. shadowdark just happens to be the game i enjoy to run the most.
