Just looked that up and the art work is great. One shots are a good way to go for a start definitely. Sure you have but I found reading the one shot info a couple of times helped to know where things may go and it definitely smoothed everything out when it came to playing.
Once I had the rules down I always liked creating the setting and story when DMing. Something very satisfying about having people explore and enjoy a world you’ve made up. Doubt I’d have the time now compared to when I was doing a philosophy degree.

Thanks that sounds like some good advice. I used to play a little when I was in my mid teens but haven’t played any RPGs since.
I bought Troika because i loved the sound of it and the artwork is great - I was planning on trying a Troika one shot as it’s very rules-light so I assumed there would be less chance of getting bogged down with me being slow at working stuff out or finding specific rules/tables etc.
I even wrote a setting for it! Mainly to amuse myself, but it ended up being fairly finished to the point where I think I might illustrate it and make a zine.
