Something tells me you should definitely check out Dragonbane. It seems your jam.

Maybe someone who is a strong proponent can lay out a detailed example. @payn or @overgeeked or @Charlaquin ?

I agree that DH hits a very nice balance of supporting the narrative elements to whatever degree the group prefers.

I guess I don't really understand the perameters of "skilled play." I don't understand how you can set up a puzzle for the players (in the form of a trap, an encounter, or a literal puzzle) and not have a deep understanding of its workings if what you want is for the players to discover the...

I have been in love since the one you could cut out of Dragon Magazine. I don't think I have ever used an alternate deck (as opposed to the one in the DMG of the edition I was running).

Do you come up with the parameters and solution ahead of time? It seems one must for it to be about "player skill" and not "I like the player's idea" right?

It's so weird that people love that book so much. I listened to it and essentially don't remember a single thing about it. I mean, it isn't bad per se, but completely forgettable for me.

I have DoMT problem: I have it show up in every D&D campaign I run (and sometimes in campaigns that aren't D&D, or even fantasy).

I am unfamiliar with Bluebeard's Bride. Can you explain what you mean?

To clarify, I was more looking for how you, as GM, enhance that sparse description in the module to signal to the players that it is "player skill" time. And then what details do you add for yourself that let's you adjudicate if the players are doing it correctly.

I hope they ran him out of town with rotten fruit and horse whips.

I must have missed the DoMT in The Great Glass Elevator.

There is an SRD: https://freeleaguepublishing.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/YZE-Standard-Reference-Document.pdf

I was reminded of this because an ad for the KS came across my Facebook feed. We are getting later into the year. Has anyone heard anything new on this game?

Fate is interesting because it serves as a light crunch foundation to some games that reach into the medium or even high crunch categories (the original Dresden RPG, as well as Daring Comics).

In one campaign, the party took a liking to a weird dungeon I included that had been an outpost by alien planar explorers, full of strange machinery and apparently random traps and, importantly, a massive Probability machine that was essentially an installed, immobile Deck of many things. So...

@James Jacobs I am curious if the format is otherwise going to change. Will there be the same amount of "additional information" like new monsters, new items, location write ups, etc. as there were in 3 volumes?

Let's say there is a room description in a module that says "There is a swinging blade trap in the fireplace mantle. Anyone searching the fireplace must make a save..." How do you (anyone, not just Scribe) turn that into a "player skill" situation?

I have run it a bunch and used always on initiative just once, the first time. I adds nothing that I could discern. I also abandoned real time torch timers relatively quickly.

Tomato, tomahto? My point was it is not a narrative game in the sense that we usually label games as that, especially since it is very easy to downplay its narrative elements.
