System Hoppers

Overview

There's a vast range of tabletop roleplaying games out there, across a multitude of genres! But the hardest part is always reading up on the rules, getting an adventure together and then getting a group of people to play -and teach- at the same time. Here at System Hoppers we endeavour to put ourselves through the process as often as we can for your amusement! Join us each episode as we try to play as many games as possible and teach you anything you need to know as well! Some fun, some scary, some vastly different - But all to show you just how fun Tabletop Roleplaying Games can be!

I've had a real long edit day today which has been long overdue because of how busy I seem to have been lately! I hope you have a happy Halloween and it's been so cool seeing what spooky productions people have come out with 😍

@systemhoppers.bsky.social

Had a One Ring session where it all clicked and it was amazing. I should say the content of this session was being a Dwarf and finding the only Dwarven settlement we'd ever visited had been raided by orcs and everyone killed.....It was intense!

@systemhoppers.bsky.social

I feel like I need to play Blades in the Dark because there’s a certain amount of TTRPG-cred I think I don’t have when I say I’ve never played a Blades game (although I have played Girl By Moonlight which is a FTID system!)

@systemhoppers.bsky.social

It makes me laugh that in Heart I let my players essentially skip an entire chapter through good decisions and roleplay, knowing fully well when they inevitably have to go back to the surface they’ll have to re-do everything they skipped and the threats will have worsened!

@systemhoppers.bsky.social

Had my first (not recorded) Heart session after a 5 week hiatus! The entire session was the group landing in the only safe haven ok the edge of oblivion and meeting a cart of incredibly weird characters that are all trapped there 😅

Saga of the Change
Actual Play & Podcasts

Saga of the Change

English
Actual Play
Saga of the Change is a casual actual-play podcast using the World of Darkness rule sets and inspired by SM Stirling's Emberverse book series. On a spring night in 2023, all across the globe, all high energy technology ceased to function. From gunpowder and steam power to nuclear fission and the high-technology cybernetics of the Technocracy, everything ground to a halt. In the aftermath, the world burned, and a new high-stakes global game began. The players? Any power, magical or mundane, willing to grasp for power. Caught in the middle, countless ordinary people just trying to survive in a merciless world they no longer recognize. The story plays out in a world we all recognize, but which is forever altered by powers beyond our understanding. Werewolves openly prowl the abandoned streets of New York, vampires rule New Orleans, and Mages battle for control of Chicago. All the while, stranger and more dangerous beings move in the shadows, seeking their own mysterious ends. There's no knowing what mysteries lie in each dark corner of this new world. Join us in finding out.

Library submission guidebook

What can I submit to the library? What does it cost me? How to stand out among all the other entries? Feature your project Submitting your project My project is already on the platform, can I change it? If you are a creator in the tabletop gaming space, then the Library is the perfect place to showcase what you have created. Whether you are part of a bigger team, or even a solo-creator, all projects are more than welcome to introduce themselves.  What can I submit to the library? Nearly anything and everything, as long as it is related to the tabletop gaming hobby space is welcome. Game systems If you have a tabletop game system that is missing from the library - we would love to learn more about it and introduce it to other players. Tools & Platforms Have you created a new generator of some kind? A map builder? Encounter calculator? Loot creator, tool for managing your worldbuilding? Or something else? Perfect place to showcase your creation. Youtube and Twitch channels If you are a video creator or a streamer and your channel is about tabletop gaming - then this is the place where to introduce yourself and find new followers. Blogs Do you have blog where you cover tabletop games, news or just write about the hobby itself? Perfect, we'd love to help spread the word Podcasts Whether you topic is a specific tabletop system, is a more general discussion of the field, or an actual play game - this is where you can gather more listeners. Regardless of the game system your podcast uses, as long as it is tabletop-gaming related.
