And it should be 3 arrows at level 5 at the very latest

I don't want it to be high level. Make it level 5 at most.

The art has not been created however, the sites and destination is clear but the journey hasn't been taken.

This blogpost did a great job in putting into digital paper some of the 'techniques' and 'style' of neotrad, also shows off a less RAW-abiding version of Neotrad that doesn't uses the modern games that are built for it...

Terrible but expected news. A great shame since CofD was my second 'big' TTRPG fandom I played in, it did a lot to shape my tastes.

Should have said trad games instead of design ethos specifically--Vampire is a Trad game and is played very Trad-like with its 'frustrated novelist' GMs(if we're being negative here) after all.

As this has strayed away a bit from discussing Neotrad specifically, let me say this; I consider Simulationism to be something I'm vehemently against in my games(systems and tables). Systems that want that as the goal are an automatic 'no' to me and tables that are looking for realism are an...

I also agree with this but I have no negative feelings towards it. Basically any kind of TTRPG theorisation that reaches even a sliver of acceptance requires influencer-ing. Also, branding is important and what @Wofano Wotanto said

Deleted comment, somehow I double posted

This is an incredible find, I haven't heard of the game at all before this but this is really interesting. Also I'm very looking forward to reading that GM advice.

While primacy of character is important, premise and setting do work as a way to make sure everyone on the table are in the same page. It's probably why the idea of limiting ancestry for verisimilitude reasons are disliked so much, the not-entirely-canon-compliant Forbidden Realms in most 5e...

Yeah very much correct. While coming in raw with utterly wild characters that doesn't fit the party is a recipe for disaster, there are tables where that's fine--not in any that I've player though but I have seen it occasionally. But also usually NeoTrad play cultures does lead to complete...

I think it's just a consequence of wanting to fulfill the fantasy of being tragic/horrified, alongside the more common power fantasy when you play the monster splats.

Speaking of, I actually do think 'canon' settings have an important use in NeoTrad play even though we've constantly been talking about games where world-creation is distributed. OCs did have an appeal in putting stuff into ongoing media with large fandoms--Naruto, Sonic, Harry Potter. Creation...

Yeah, your other posts hits the nail on the head. The hell the character goes through in Neotrad is personalised to them.

Blorbo is a meme term in modern fandom twitter/tumblt when referring to a favourit character in a not-quite-ironic way--sometimes from another media(Games, anime, books, shows) or an OC you yourself create. You can cut meat and tofu with a spoon--doesn't mean a knife is pointless, you beat...

Fixed! Highlighted some sentences there to emphasize a few things @Reynard @Ruin Explorer

Also I've actually been using this tumblr post as another reference point for what games that supports Neotrad: I'm not familiar with all of these games so there's likely some examples there that I disagree with. Edit:Fixed

Entirely depends on game(system), game(campaign) and from table to table. Some very much would like to know exactly what happens and playing the table is more or less just to further the details, some only have a general route(Saura is going to sacrifice something important to her, be in grief...

Like I said, Fabula Ultima I think is the most obvious example of a modern game that caters to Neo-trad.
