    Good solo games

    I think my favorite oracle so far is the simple 1d6 and the yes, and ladder. Roll an extra die if there's dis/advantage. Don't need much beyond that. Or the Yes And system that was proposed and dropped for Adventure Time. 1d6 for success/failure and one of those nerdy-ass Fate dice for a...

    How many "steps" is too many?

    That's one big benefit of reverse engineering the math. In 5E, if everything's balanced where it should be, as long as the player rolls 8+ on their d20, they succeed. Whatever the PC's level or the monster's CR, 99% of the time, their AC will be exactly 8 + the assumed progression of PC ability...

    How many "steps" is too many?

    I think it’s a bit of a loaded way to phrase things. It’s not that all these steps are done by the same person. In Daggerheart, the player rolls 2d12 + mods then reports that to the referee. The referee determines if it hits or misses then reports that to the player. The player rolls damage and...

    Good solo games

    You could probably do about the same with three Fate dice. Two of one color and one of another. The solo Fate die is yes, maybe, no. The other two are and, [blank], but. Get two +s or -s and that’s double ands or buts.

    TIL the average empire survives 250 years. That gives me far more hope than it should.

    This is a plus thread. If y'all wanna argue about the system, kindly take it elsewhere.

    Bob Worldbuilder debunks the Daggerheart license “scandal”

    Absolutely. But they didn't know what the license would be so no idea if they would or should sink development time into it. Plus all the time and money for the art.

    Bob Worldbuilder debunks the Daggerheart license “scandal”

    Let’s no gloss over the Kickstarter lead-in time. Kelsey was up front about the license and it’s in plain English. No real need for a lawyer. CR was not up front about the license, only revealed it after the launch, I believe, and it’s in legalese. So you definitely should talk to a lawyer...

    Disney sues Midjourney

    It’s almost weird how they all seem to start exactly where he doesn’t want them to end up.
