In the unlikely event it's needed, I might offer Agon, a Classically grim game.

Jim - D&D (2024) - Likely a bunch of bloody fights for dubious reason, but welcoming. So grim-friendly.

The cosmic entity had a lot of gall of Cthulhu to turn up to a family jamboree in "Y'all of Cthulhu", which led to a bit of a brawl of Cthulhu, thankfully then the fall of Cthulhu.

We should start calling sewage works 'Water Treament Parks' so "And We Will Sing In The Dark By The Water Treatment Plant" can have a title that rhymes.

Of course the retired adventurers in "Seasoned Heroes" used to have pep in their step, saw a monster or two brought to justice, didn't used to mind when it was chilly, but that was a long time ago. They're still a bit salty about it, though.

And while I liked "NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL SWORDS VOL. d66", in some ways I prefered vol d2024, because at least I didn't have to remember which of the d20, d2 or d4 was the tens. But it was probably too many swords for a compilation.

And "Ex-Capes RPG Bundle" you could play a retired mutant superhero leader freeing themselves from a location on a headland, or Ex-X-Man Prof X escaping from a Cape in X-Capes. Or someone else could rescue him, some sort of Xavier saviour.

It's clever that "Suma", a game about language breaking, is called something that has a bunch of different meanings around the world. It really is greater than the suma its parts.
