10 Best TableTop RPGs That Aren’t Dungeons And Dragons
6. Shadow Run
Maybe some of your group have had enough of swords and sorcery, while others still love the setting. Well, then how about a compromise. Shadowrun is a science fantasy roleplaying game set in the near future. There may be fantastical technology and strange cybernetics, but magic and fantasy creatures also exist.
The name of the game is taken from what your players will be profiting from. A shadow run is a successful theft from a rival organisation. In this near-future, giant companies are the ones that run the world and a lot of money can be made from industrial espionage.
All of the traditional fantasy tropes are there. Orks, trolls, elves, and dwarfs are all races in this world. As well as this powerful magic has returned to the land after a series of dystopian plagues. Dragons are even there, usually in human form running the large corporations.
This game mostly runs on a six-sided dice system. Classes are also less important in this game. How you perform is mainly based on your character’s skills. This game may be just what you need to bring a fresh new world to your group.
