I only just found out about the potion miscibility table on DMG pg140 and now I'm in love.

Are there #ttrpgs out their with mechanics for friendship and falling in love?

Is "You should play Pathfinder!" the "Why don't you just use Linux?" of the #ttrpg world?

@timmy1990may Ah yes that's something I'd like to rip off. Thanks Tim.

What game systems provide rules for PC cowardice? I want to steal them.

@riseupcomus OMG this system is mental. Have you played it?

@riseupcomus Swoon... amazing.

@trinitykstudio @DnDClericHorgar Yea this is a really good point. I'm drawn toward thinking that one on one situations are such a relative rarity in the standard rp set up that it's the DM's job to spice that up, not the rules.

@CursebreakRpg @DnDClericHorgar That is a hard one - I don't think that players of certain games are ready for a non-abstract combat system where actual character death and lingering injury could be a thing. Also, it's mad boring for the other players in the group while the GM spotlights a single fight?

Playtest last night led to a question. Should a #ttrpg combat system designed for a group be expected to provide exciting one on one combats?

@robdlgardner I'm gonna give a crap answer and say 'the minimum amount of fidelity in order to be believable'. So probably more toward the relative strengths and weaknesses. The fight, given that we're fumbling through rules took about 20 minutes, which felt like 10 too long!

@eperogenay @technolich This 100% explains why I'm so lousy at blackjack.

@CursebreakRpg @technolich Another blank statement that I don't agree with... mechanically it's just percentile + black jack, it doesn't use grid, most rules are simple to grasp and there aren't that many of them. Main complexity comes from the depth of stories it's able to tell, but 2e does have 4 mains.

To my horror TTRPG fans, what is your favorite system? And what about it to you love?

@dnd_n_anth I ran a game that was, completely unbeknown to the players, a 100% rip off of season 1 of '24'. Everything was swapped out with D&D 'stuff'. Worked a treat. And ended in a glorious TPK.

Out of curiosity, what is the biggest thematic crossover you done with #DnD? How’d it go? Cosmic horror? Mech battles? Sci-if?

@MatthewCmiel As in not adventures, monsters, treasure, settings, stories yadda yadda. The 'how the game works' stuff.

@CursebreakRpg I'm not certain! What do you mean?

Who else out there is developing (or has developed) their own #ttrpg system?

@MyNameIsGadda Yes I'm basically trying to re-write D&D but kid myself that that's not what I'm doing.

@MyNameIsGadda What wait... this is so not how kids get better. It's how they get flatter. Good to know dude. I'll brace myself.

@TheRavvyn You sound like you're going in the opposite, and more sensible direction.

@CursebreakRpg I have! It's a d20 system designed to empower GMs and players to tell any kind of story they would like without the need to "hack" the system to make it fit. It's all about flexibility & customization while keeping things simple. amazon.com/FUNdamental-RP…

@MatthewCmiel All the ones that are not content. If that makes sense.

@CursebreakRpg Game? System? Engine? Just curious what you mean. But yes probably yes XD

@EscapadesR Can it be my own variation? Give me that at least.

@CursebreakRpg Yes, and no. Yes, it's a new game (link in ma bio) and no, there is no "own" #ttrpg system, they're all a variation on the same identical engine.

@Washburn_IL Ah this is amazing! Though as it is I only just joined ANOTHER discord channel that I'm not quite engaging with as much as I should be.... ...maybe it's too big. I'll see how I fair and maybe mooch over soon. Huge thanks!

@MyNameIsGadda how's gathering playtesters going. I'm held back by not having any and not wanting any.
