my wife enjoys crpgs so much and seems interested in a tabletop game, sadly we dont have any friends who share our hobbies and i am not an experienced dm either

do not make a campaign with any other people she will find a better man and cheat on you
Play four against darkness with her.
I don't know what crpg is.
You don't need models, that's just goyslop meant to trick you into spending money.
Use the back of dollar store wrapping paper if you need a grid. Cardboard cutouts with numbers if you must have tokens to organize combat.
Imagination is free.
All you need is a four against darkness pdf(as expensive as you make it).
A set of dice $10?
Pencil + paper
i ordered the pathfinder beginner box already, and like i said i have a 3D printer so i dont care
i have never posted this before, also i dont use /tg/ often
This exact thread was created within the last 6 weeks, I could go to the archives and dig it up for you if you like
must be someone else, last time i used /tg/ was last year in the 3d printing thread
>You don't need models, that's just goyslop meant to trick you into spending money.
What machine are you using to post this, anon? Computer at the library?
You posted this before
These are social games and DMing is tough, it’s not gonna work
Are you ready to read and digest 1000 pages of material in order to run a game? No? Then it’s not gonna work, definitely not with a complicated system
moronic take. DMing is not rocket science.
One on one games are fine and in many ways much better than regular group games.
I agree. My favourite group size is 3. Forever gm (me) and 2 players but one on one works great too. It's fast and there's less choice paralysis.
>do you have any tips for me?
play a lighter system like savage worlds so it's easier to run multiple npcs concurrently
if you're married to pathfinder specifically, give her a gestalt character and maybe the leadership feat for free. Get real good at making NPC statblocks cause you'll have to pretty often
ah but we both love pathfinder due to the video games and are familiar with the system somewhat
i thought of making an npc for me to be with her
>ss13
oh i'd love that but the controls pissed her off
kek
yeah the pathfinder beginner box comes with premade npcs, i thought i'd let her control them in combat
Well how much effort do you want to put in Op? Women are demographically not huge for mechanics, but a lot of them do like getting immersed in a fantasy world. First bullshit with her, and see what kind of setting she wants to play.
If you don't mind the legwork and don't mind the lethality, GURPS will be more confusing for you then her. Making a character can be some work, but I've found making characters as a group activity is usually a fun experience. And when in doubt on the rules, just pick a number and have her roll under it.
Though if it turns out you are too lazy to GM you could always turn to vidya. If you just want some roleplay, and the house has more than one computer, you could try SS13. Just don't metacomm.
doo not listen to this OP!!! do not play online computer games with her are you stupid!? she WILL meet and communicate with a man and worse a gamer and she will cheat on you please stick to simple solo boardgames
I hate to break it to you but your wife is a cat.
She's smart enough to keep track of her sheet, doesn't take more than 30 seconds to finish a combat turn and keeps the house mouse-free. What more can you ask really?
One on one campaigns are great, especially for a husband and wife. There's a podcast that has a husband and wife play out the Kingmaker AP.
It's just them and there's a lot of episodes.
A lot of people love playing one and one, as you are giving each other full attention.
For NPCs, it seems like treating them as a pool and letting her pick 1-3 for whatever adventure is best (or whatever fits story wise).
Search for RPGA/Adventurer's league games on your area. Might be run at an LGS or a library or something. It's different than a homemade game setting, but it's closer to an actual game than something like critical role where it's improv with professional actors.
You can also do this sort of thing at conventions, may be worth the trip.
I'm in the tabletop gaming community since i was a kid. Meeting new people is part of how it works. It's just stupid tv shows and movies that try to spread the idea that we're no friends/not social. These are games where talking to people is all you do.
Middle schoolers can run these games, you can figure it out, but that's literally part of it, running a custom game instead of a module means you figure out what works for your group.
I've been playing Shadowrun crpgs lately. It's impressing me, I may have to find/form a group to run some tabletop Shadowrun. Which crpgs does your wife like? That may tell you a bit about where to start.
It'll be a strange dynamic to just have two. Board Games thread might have some experts on that who might have better suggestions than a tabletop rpg for only two because the social and storytelling aspect usually runs on having a group dynamic.
sadly i live in germany, and german is not my first language so i cannot exactly join their tabletop sessions, i speak german fine but they speak with their accent and i cant understand anything (bavarian)
