I’ve played some online games (with friends during covid), and although we tried we eventually gave up. Partly, there’s no replacement for socialising in person with close friends, but also we found the disconnect between medieval fantasy and videochatting through discord to be a mood killer.

I live abroad and would love to get into online gaming, and I’ve been thinking that it might help to play a game that benefits from the medium. I imagine a cyberpunk or Sci fi game would be easier to get in the mood as the characters themselves might be communicating through video feeds and holo-nets.

It’s not a style of rpg I’ve played before, so I’m open to suggestions. And it doesn’t need to be cyber / sci-fi, if there’s some other reason why everyone being seperate and disembodied makes sense (like would Wraith feel even more depressing over videochat?)

    If you find that TTRPG, please send me a link. Otherwise, well, it wouldn’t seem too hard to homebrew something really quick if you aren’t picky about systems
