  • Cosy up with these wholesome RPGs that are perfect for having a chill afternoon with friends. There aren't tense fights, no monsters to have nightmares about, and good always triumphs over evil. Instead you'll be exploring relationships as teens at a sleepover, helping animals across the lands with your herbal remedies, or creating a dreamy town of cute critters and tasty treats. There is still real depth in these wholesome RPGs, they merely centre roleplay, community, and having a good time. So grab a blanket, brew some tea, and settle in for ten cosy games.

    So the main takeaway I'm getting from this video is drink lots of tea.
    I could get on board with this.

    This was way too well written and presented set to so fitting music, that I'm teary eyed from the feels!

    @WildfireMagni Před 2 lety +18

    This was nice. I'd also like to point out Ryuutama as it's more about the journey than the destination or combat (although you can have plenty of that if you want) and it seems chill from what I've seen.

    @commanderraccoon8860 Před 2 lety +4

    omg? Thank you so much for that list. I'm going to buy Apawthecaria as a gift to my witchy mum, she's going to love it so much. Again, thank you for the recommendation, you rock!

    Great list! I was not aware of three of these (Cozytown, Cantrip, Animon Stories)
    My wife and I host a regular story game night here in Des Moines. Our reliable go-to cozy games include BFF!, The Quiet Year, Laser Kittens, Fortunes, and Fiasco with a soft tilt (found in the Fiasco Companion).

      I made one. Might not all be the best link for your region but darn Cantrip was hard to find at all.

    @WardNightstone Před rokem +6

    Mall kids is another good one it's a GMless game that is kind of like the old Canadian show 6teen as a TTRPG (the teenage workers and frequenters of a mall and their misadventures)

    • @WardNightstone
      @WardNightstone Před rokem +2

      I just found another chill one called Witch scouts as the name implies you are a Witch Scout (boy/girl scouts but with badges related to magic)

  • @stormy7745
    @stormy7745 Před 2 lety +8

    Fantastic list! I definitely want to try most of these, and wouldn't mind to try the rest if I came across it (and I am loving all the references to Redwall in this video 💙)

  • @DeathCatInHat

    Ryuutama is pretty great in this style, where the GM is explicitly a PC--the dragon telling the story the PCs are in.

    • @lobesteral
      @lobesteral Před rokem +3

      Ryuutama was actually the first TTRPG I ever played. I agree with your points!

    I'd add an honorable mention for SCRAPS, by Cezar Capacle. It's a peaceful game of exploration, discovery, and most of all, crafting. You seek out fantastical, fascinating and esoteric materials to build projects for your community.

    Chill is a TTRPG. In its day it was an alternative to Call of Cthulhu. It was one of the first D00lite systems. 3rd ed mechanically was only Chill in name. CryptWorld is really the 3rd edition of the original game system. It was real fun too. So chillsters, I'm afraid that the name is taken.

    I've got to ponder what happens when most D&D players try to annihilate everything that moves in these types of games.

  • @SorchaSublime
    @SorchaSublime Před 9 měsíci +1

    Is it bad that I want to use Cozy Town for a horror campaign lol? I feel like the amount of comfort it generates in players by default would make any setting created very fertile ground for said sense of comfort being upended

    Why are almost all of these about playing an animal or a child?
    I see a market opening for an RPG where the players are retired and enjoying life.
    It also seems like there could/should be TTRPGs where the players are in a cozy mystery. Are there any where you play an amateur sleuth?

    • @dicebreaker
      @dicebreaker  Před rokem +5

      We recommend Brindlewood Bay! You play as Miss Marple style, retired amateur sleuths trying to solve a mystery. We've got a let's play on the channel!

    Cantrip, while a super cute name, is also awful. Seriously, most all search results will give DnD. I had to search around until I found the creator's twitter profile, and from there their personal website, to find them. If links could be provided with these sorts of vids, they'd be super appreciated.
