Title: Tales from the Loop
Link: https://www.modiphius.net/products/tales-from-the-loop-rpg-rulebook
Type of game: tabletop RPG
Number of players: flexible, but you'll need at least one person to GM
Description: Basically if you were the kids in Stranger Things
Comments: A good game if you're home with kids (or adults) who like tabletop RPGs AND it's a good tabletop game for playing over Skype. The barriers to entry are also way easier than, say D&D: the system is easy to learn; you only need D6s, which are more common than other kinds of dice; it is legit in the rules that none of the player characters can die so if you're attached to your character that's a good safety net; and because there isn't as much in the way of battle maps and the like, it's easy to play over Skype. (That's how I've been playing -- there are three of us in one location who Skype with two people in another location.)
