[ Oh No It Isn't! ] — I didn't like it much... it''s centred around Bernice falling into a world of pantomime, which means it's very silly and not very sci-fi.

[ Beyond the Sun ] — really good! I loved the characters, and I loved the explorations into the different worldviews they had.

[Doctor Who] audio dramas | nazis

I wish the cover of Just War had less nazi symbols on it.
In the story, they're unambiguously the bad guys (from everything I know about it), but....

it's still really weird to buy a product that literally has nazi stuff right on the front of it.

recommendations for other tabletop Story Games

My first suggestion is to try out other games in general! D&D is really complex which makes it seem like it would be a lot of effort to learn another one, but that's often not the case.

Dungeon World is a good choice — it's D&D, but it's more flexible and less complex.

If you want something different, here are some favourites of mine:
* Apocalypse World
* FATE
* Fiasco
* Hillfolk
* Hobospy
* Lady Blackbird
* Microscope

controversial opinion about popular Tabletop RPG

Thinking again about how much I dislike D&D

Not because it's a bad game, but because I think a lot of people who would othwerwise absolutely love Story Games are introduced to D&D first, and are put off by the fact that it gets in the way of telling stories more than it helps
