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!

    Anyone who can GM a 7+ player game over the span of 3+ hours has super powers. My brain is fried after 2 hours. It needs to reorganize and decompress to preserve pacing.

      There will be bathroom, snack, etc breaks. We’re not looking at anything super deep here, we’re just going to have fun being in the same room together.
