I actually don't think D&D is easy to learn, as GM or player. It's one of the least accessible games to start with, not just because of the cost barrier of materials, but the assumption of knowledge required and the number of rules getting in the way of the roleplay.

5E combat specifically is not good for my GMing brain. I'm fine running combat in other systems like Monster of the Week, but 5E combat is so heavily rules and rolls focused that it takes me out of the game and story constantly.

Rolled a nat 20 to break into my own head and find hidden memories once!

The Children's Campaign is a beautiful setup!

I could that playbook working for her!

It's the Spooky for me, definitely! And I can tragically only think of Sam Winchester at the moment

Maybe try signing up as a GM on StartPlaying.Games, I've run some lovely games on there and it's helpful putting a party together.

You could try Godkiller, it's a really interesting 1 player, 1 GM game

Check out startplaying.games, I play two game through them, Inevitable and Old Gods, and run a third myself!

Grant Howitt's one-pagers or Monster of the Week would be good starters!

Inevitable my beloved! This is an amazing game, we have our weekly session coming up in the next hour and it's been an amazing time. Truly a system that pushes players to ask not only what will you do and why should you do it, but then waits for their answer and makes it MATTER.

Either remove or adjust to limit in some way, I've pulled group playbooks before too in cases of isolation, so totally doable!

Previously, I homebrewed an insanity mechanic for MotW and that bridged the gap for systems.

@exquisitecttrpg.bsky.social is an amazing GM and creator to add to this list!

Thank you and I love that game and system so much, I couldn't recommend it more!
