Lore-heavy games?
Posted: Tue Aug 20, 2013 10:27 am
Hello! I have only been around a little bit, so I'm not sure if I should have introduced myself first... but! That is not what this topic is for, which you probably guessed already.
I would really like to get into a tabletop group, but more than that I'd like to play a game that's really big on lore. Not just as flavor text, either; I mean in the sense that you might have to know about the etiquette expected of a Dwarven ambassador(as an example). Combat is fine and fun, and what I've dipped my toes into I've enjoyed, but what I'd really like is something meaty, where you'd have to know more than that X monster has Y weakness. I'm sure there are plenty of them! However, I am still in the larval stage of tabletop and so I don't know what they would be. This is the first place I thought of in terms of where to look, so I was hoping I could get some recommendations here. Then it just becomes a case of "who the heck plays this where I live."
Also, if this is the wrong forum, I will provide a meaty cut of uncooked brisket for you to beat me with(and hopefully the post can then be redirected to the correct place).
