The design-heavy indie tabletop RPGs listed below take place in the sort of science fantasy universes that Destiny and Warframe popularized – far-future settings where the survivors of a massive cataclysm claw their way back from the brink of extinction, finding hope and salvation in groups of heroes with uncanny powers blurring the line between science and magic. The gameplay rules in most of these tabletop RPGs also try to emulate the gameplay of these looter shooters, blending tactically exciting conflict systems with narrative storytelling rules and a diverse list of weapons/abilities players can acquire over the course of a campa

Cover the other shield type with your Heavy weapon of choice. If you plan to run Eriana’s for your Energy, consider using a Linear Fusion Rifle . Tarantula can break Arc shields, although its perk pool is far from stellar. If you can get away with using an Arc subclass, use Reed’s Regret or Threaded Nee

The Brightest Things We Know , a science-fantasy RPG by Briar Sovereign currently in early development, takes the same cues from Destiny as LIGHT , but uses the Forged In The Dark tabletop RPG ruleset to tell stories about a far-future group of exiles that reside in massive space-faring Foundry Ships, protected from empires alien and human by a group of elite warriors called “Stars.” To create their “Star” PCs, players of The Brightest Things We Know choose from a selection of character Playbooks patterned after different Constellations in the Zodiac. The core gameplay loop of The Brightest Things We Know sessions alternates between “Strike” Phases where a “Cluster” of “Stars” complete missions and contend with the enemies of the Foundry Ships, and “Ship Phases” where PCs rest, recuperate, and cash in the resources/data they’ve acquired in order to gain new equipment and weap

Destiny 2’s Festival of the Lost is back in Season of the Lost, complete with a rather large overhaul from previous years. Instead of clearing out sections of the Haunted Forest for loot, Guardians will now be exploring Haunted Lost Sectors for Candy and weap

After publishing LIGHT , Spencer Campbell launched a Kickstarter for a stylistically similar RPG called FRAME , intended to be an homage to the setting and gameplay of Warframe . After canceling the FRAME Kickstarter in the wake of some ugly harassment from members of the Warframe fan community, Campbell was inspired to release a System Reference Document for the LUMEN roleplaying system he’d designed, then use the LUMEN rules to create a more elaborate and original RPG called NOVA, currently for sale on itch.

Bungie took the frustrating aspects of the Fallen Captain and cranked them up to 11 with the Overload Captain. These Fallen Captains are augmented to have no abilities cooldowns, rapid health regeneration, and weapons that can easily two-shot play

One of Destiny 2’s newest enemy types, Vex Wyverns are effectively Vex Cyclopses with legs. Wyverns fire devastating Void cannons that can one-shot players in Master-tier content. If you play too passively, Wyverns will jump into the air before making a rapid descent towards your locat

Once out of the slow field, climb up the nearby rocks to reach the second beacon platform. Activate it to start the defense section. Once again, you’ll be facing mostly Acolytes, Knights, and Wizards during this part—nothing a good Primary can’t handle. The final wave will spawn a Barrier Knight , so you’ll either want an Anti-Barrier weapon or a high damage gun. Null Composure with Particle Deconstructor can kill the Knight before it deploys its shield, allowing you to forgo Anti-Barrier m

Festival of the Lost is Destiny 2 Exotics 2’s annual Halloween event that lasts from October 12 to November 2. This year, Guardians will be delving into a new activity named Haunted Lost Sectors—a Halloween-themed take on Destiny 2’s Lost Sector locations—to earn event currency and rewards. Participating in this event will grant cosmetic items, unique helmets called “Masks” themed around Destiny 2’s various main characters, and three weapons exclusive to this ev

Spectral Pages can be found by completing any activity in Destiny 2. Ritual activities—Vanguard Strikes, Crucible, and Gambit—drop four pages. Haunted Lost Sectors can drop up to seven Spectral Pages a run. You can convert these Spectral Pages into Manifest Pages by completing Haunted Lost Sector runs, unlocking exclusive lore entries tied to this ev

Besides their flurry of projectiles, Hive Wizards have the ability to deploy smoke clouds that suppress movement, blur your vision, and deal small amounts of damage over time. Fortunately, these enemies float in the air, making them easy prey for the likes of Snipers or Scout Rifles . Majors and boss variants of Wizards fire faster and deal more damage, resulting in an enemy that can kill players instantly. If you can’t break their shield, prepare for an onslaught of projecti
