Beyond D&D ft. The GM Tim

Explore games that will breathe new life into your passion for tabletop gaming.

There are many games with near-infinite themes, genres, flavors, new ideas, and fresh inspiration. It's an exciting world of possibility, and we'd love to play them all. Of course, there's only so much time, money, or x resource that we have to try these new games. Unfortunately, this stops us from even beginning to explore different systems. This episode aims to give you the same nudge we needed. The GMTim, with his experience as a professional DM running dozens of different systems, presents a few based on our favorite genres, and we discuss their merits as we try to figure out what to learn next.

In The Oracle's Tower, we start by dispelling some of Travis' cherished excuses for why he doesn't play different systems so that we can all get on the same page. Then we explore some of The GMTim's highest recommendations in the TTRPG genres of Superhero, Heist, Sci-Fi, and a smattering of others. He fills us in on what makes them great, what might make them a "no thanks" for some, and an overview of just what to expect down each of these rabbit holes.
