Finding the Right System

from 2 Kobolds in a Trenchcoat Hosted by 2KiaTPodcast

Some RPG systems are a perfect fit. Others turn a fun game into homework, improv, or a GM test you never signed up for. If you’ve ever wondered why one game clicks instantly while another leaves you overwhelmed, this conversation breaks down exactly what to look for before you sit at the table. Shiv and Aely unpack the hidden reasons a system works or fails for different players, from narrative-heavy games that demand on-the-spot creativity to crunchy systems that need the right group, the right expectations, and the right amount of structure. They dig into what makes a system feel playable, what makes it feel stressful, and why the “best” game is often the one that matches how your brain actually works.
