As I mentioned in another comment, but elaborating further here, there’s a Savage World’s setting that revolves around eldritch horror and rampant corporate industry called Holler.

I loved that novel.

There’s unironically a bunch of Appalachian cosmic horror stuff out there. In fact iirc Savage Worlds has a setting for it called Holler and Monte Cook games published a ttrpg for the Old Gods of Appalachia podcast.

Outs of sheer curiosity where do they go after that particular death? Oblivion?

Those are sick, where’d you get the stands?

FF14 has another expac coming out soon, so that’s gonna blow up. ESO was doing pretty well last I checked, too.

Pf2e is great, and for those that want something lighter on the crunch there’s a bunch of better systems out there.

I’m surprised the issues with D&D arent more commonly known. It’s a fine beginning system but, me and my friends literally couldn’t wait to move on to new systems once balance fell apart past level 10. Now we just play Savage Worlds, Pathfinder 2e and Call of Cthulhu.
