I've been playing TTRPGs online with a group of friends for close to a decade and later this year we are planning an in-person meet up. I'd like to find some options for rule-light games that can be learnt quickly, and would play at least mildly well with upwards of 12 players for a mega-session, for 6+ hours of game.

Open to any suggestions to get the ball rolling. Rules-light, big group, go!

Edited to add:

Some suggestions I have received from other places. I haven't looked into any of these but wanted to add for discussion's sake:

  • Everyone Is John
  • the Borg games (Mork Borg, etc)
  • Fate
  • Tiny D6
  • Kobolds Ate My Baby
  • Daethmatch Island
  • Dream Askew
  • Shadowdark
  • Perils and Processes

If you have any experience with these, your input is appreciated!

I'm mildly familiar with Fate and had similar reservations, but I do think it's right on the edge of the kind of rules depth that could work.

I'm considering a primer session before we actually meet up (it's later this year, lots of time) to go over basic rules, session premise, and character creation so I think that would help familiarize people with the ruleset. Still though, as I said, I did have reservations about Fate.
