If I was working with the D&D 6 attributes again I would: Tie all WIS skills into INT, except Insight, which goes to CHA. I would also move initiative to INT. If you want to be skilled, hard to surprise, or quick off the drop, you need to be a quick witted PC. Move all casting to WIS and make...

Shadow of the Demon Lorf uses 4 attributes and it works really well. Strength folds constitution in to it (although the system does not give HP bonuses for this stat). Agility is pretty much Dex Intelligence is perception, saving against illusions, convincing people, insight, etc Will is...

Which games? As far as I know, Apocalypse world is the only one that has them.

This is what is done in Mork Borg and a number of new OSR products.

It's the rules of the forum. No religion. No politics. And I believe swearing is frowned upon too. Even in another language.

I often suffer from Thread Disenchantment, but I don't think there's a school for that.

It's not really just the language. He's pretty non sensical in French also.

These are some random ass postings. @le Redoutable , @Marc_C was trying to help you and you were pretty insulting to him. Not a great first impression on the forum.

Is this the first PbtA game to hit $1million? If so, that is huge news..

Well colour me impressed. I've gone from being skeptical to being wowed by the production value. I have more games than I can get to the table, but I'll be getting this one even if just for the pleasure of reading it and going through thw contents.

I haven't done any work on this due to real life concerns. Might at the end of the year look at cobbling something together. For me the hardest part about tweaking D&D is the prevalence of magic and spells into so mamy class features. Where other RPGs might have a talent that let's you do...

This is timely. I'm just finishing reading the core book. Thanks @Charles Dunwoody for the write up! The adventures sound really cool. I'll have to pick them up.

How does this work for you? Because I was thinking of implementing exactly this.

I don't mind when it's relevant, but I do point out if someone's replying to a person that hasn't been on the board for a decade, or they rez a thread with a really inane/useless response.

I have never used alignment in any of my games.

Those aren't comparable. A better comparison would be to a board game where you can't make up rules or judgements as you go along. However what I mean to say is that you can have all sorts of rules around social interactions in an rpg if you want, but if the player doesn't want to speak to NPCs...

Player playstyle is always going to trump mechanics and if players don'flt want to engage in the social pillar of the game, theu certainly won't. But for me i think there needs to be at least a few social skills to allow those that want to engage with NPCs a choice of niche.

A simple thing I do in all RPGs is I consider the character's class or role and what aspects of society they would have access to. A Bard might be best to speak to nobility, but most guard captains wouldn't give them the time of day. A Fighter adventurer they might listen to. Wilderness types...

Welcome to the forum @RainOnTheSun

You've just given me another reason to give FFG SW a try..
