I only heard good things about Heroquest but I never read it, could you comment on what the game's approach is and how it does it? This seems amazing! I want to play it! if only Glorantha didn't have ducks ...

Works for me. That a PC is successful implies that things happen as she wanted and therefore the plot progresses. I have second thoughts with the adv/disadv mechanics. Maybe they are too much?

Yes, I am thinking that too, after what was said in this thread. But, respecting the ratio between consequences and opportunities that I had originally proposed. Putting together what you propose with the O&C rule, it would be something like this: Fail by more than 5 - unqualified failure Fail...

Well, I guess it's not an approach for everyone...

Rolemaster... I honestly don't miss it a bit

Fair points, especially 2) and 3). They will have to be tested in game to see if you are right. Anyway, if there is no consequence in a failed check, why do it?

haha, so?

Please (please!) try Ironsworn. It´s amazing for solo games (or group ones, by the way).

Hehehe, you're right. It has been so long since my campaign broke with the official Dragonance story that I find it hard to remember that there is a canon. oh! with this you bought me. It is definitely an interesting approach: the plot progresses but in small things.

I like games, a lot. I try to read and play everything within my reach. I usually run a weekly D&D campaign, and some short adventures using other options, of which I highlight Fate, Blades in the Dark, and some PbtA games (Burning Wheel is kind of my white whale). This past year, because I...

And how this metaplot affect your own games? I ask because I generally tend to escape games with a plot that progresses over the years to have more freedom in my own games.

Yes, please. This thread led to a great space to share this type of things.

On the contrary, we (once we started playing because at first we didn't like to do it online) took advantage of the situation to try new systems, with lighter rules.

Thanks, I'm definitely going to read it, but Ironsworn fills the fantastic medieval niche in pbta for me. At least for now.

I like DW (and I weekly run it for a group of new players), but fundamentally I have three things on my mind with it: 1) I love the idea of a d&desque pbta , but I think it tries too hard to simulate a game that actually works well, instead of offering a new approach (anyway for players who...

That open a whole new world of games! System I'd be curious to play more of, but that I probably won't get much of a chance to: Polaris, Apocalypse World System I don't own, probably won't buy due to little chance of playing it, but am curious about: Alien (too!) Systems I like (played or...

Sorcerer and Dogs in the Vineyard... two games which gives me the feeling of having been late for the party

So, I made a top-five list of rpg I love (besides D&D): #1 Fate #2 Ironsworn #3 Blades in the Dark #4 Marvel Heroic Roleplaying #5 Symbaroum What do you think? What´s your list?

Same here. I don´t usually play with a grid in our tabletop sessions either, so I don´t need that kind of software.

We end playing in zoom too, after trying roll20 and Discord.
