- Mothership, great pulp scifi horror that works for one shots or long campaigns.
- Blades in the Dark, think oceans 11, or peaky blinders but haunted Victorian London.
- Slugblaster, angsty teens traveling to other dimensions to skate and tag.
- Numenera, billions of years in the future on earth. Medieval societies with tons of weird science so advanced its magic
- Draw Steel, classic tactical mini based heroic fantasy. An evolution from D&D

What 5 games would you recommend for the broadest possible sample of table top RPGs and story games?
Great points by other people here so I won't reiterate, but did want to throw in Mothership as a horror game. It's quick and easy to run and play. Would highly recommend.
Oh, ive been wanting to jam this sooo bad.
Ya several of the Forged in the Dark games change the way these mechanics work. They're great fun still.
Combat felt a bit clunky until we starred treating it more as roleplay and less as "DND combat." Overall, the mechanics encouraged interparty role play which was sooo much fun. I'd highly recommend it
Ive run a few gumshoe games. They are great, but did require a lot of planning on my part.
We just wrapped up an avatar game. It has some oddities but overall really fun!
