The Suburbs
The Suburb is a tabletop RPG for 4 players where you play as teenagers playing games and talking online, with no game master required. The focus of the gameplay revolves around conversations on social media platforms like Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp that feel real-life to everyone involved in it. It's an engaging title created by author John Greenlee but might be challenging due its complexity for beginners who don't know how much effort goes into creating such a project from scratch, without any prior experience with RPG games. However, the game offers no shortage of charm and is ultimately up-to-date to play it together as friends in different gaming rooms on Discord servers like The Suburb Society or RPS Community!
