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!


Oh I forgot to mention Cairn in the list I added. I have seen this one recommended elsewhere as well, so might be on to something. Thank you!
