One could say that a shift in game mode (application of a different set of rules) is necessary for fitting the feeling of a scene. Conversation amongst friends feels pretty comfortable, so a comfortable set of rules for it is appropriate. Armed combat is decidedly uncomfortable, exacting...

Sure looks that way. I was hoping that this was the new version of the upvote/downvote thread. I guess it's gone by the wayside.

Just checking ;) Longer version: I expect most players to look out for #1 (the player). So I reward them to encourage looking out for #2 (the character) and #3 (the other PCs).

Nick Cage rocks. So I gave him a "green check mark," apparently. Perhaps you'd like to rate him against this legend?

What if a player ignores detrimental metagame knowledge? Or chooses to fail a contest instead of rolling? Or actually plays her alignment correctly?

Did someone say D&D and Big Adventure? Whatever it is, I'm expecting a very cosmopolitan group of allies.

Nothing to see here. Move along. Unless you want to post something and check these question threads out with me.

Time-sensitive objectives are age-old game tools. And antagonists wait on no one. My magic-users/spellcasters keep track of time because their power comes back hourly, not daily. This is a little too close to "I just got my vacation time approved by middle management" for my taste. What...

If you already have players, you can find out their feelings on Railroads™ and what their characters' motivations are, to answer some of these questions. One way to decide where to go with stuff is to have a BBEG.* Those make campaign decisions for you. And they're kind of required - unless...

D&D could really use a system like this. I hate making D&D characters.

I still play the Wonderful World of Eamon, which was originally written in Applesoft BASIC. So, 40 year old tech? Hoping to revitalize it here, BTW . . .

The same ones I was playing in 2020, plus RPG Maker MV. I highly recommend it.

I think these are problems that a life path system is designed to overcome. I don't think a detailed backstory is required in all cases, either. It could be as simple as, "bully, valedictorian, burger-flipper." It's hard to be constrained by that. The GM might have to do some fishing to keep...

Oh ye dungeon-makers (and dungeon-explorers), Have you ever wanted a web-accessible dungeon document? That you could, say, bring up on your phone while DMing a D&D night at your local tavern? What about having a shared quest that you could build with other ENWorlders, with no need to share...

This is my status.

I added a secret chamber and another item. Here's my quest log. I'll leave a link to the newest room so you can compare it to the first format - its actions aren't fully linked. Conveniently, the new room has three obvious exits (which might make good places for you to test this system as...

Sounds like the game I'm working on here: https://www.enworld.org/threads/test-adventure-brave-souls-wanted.717654/#post-9847592 Send me a message if you need something to keep you busy until (no release date).

First wrinkles: I can nest child (subordinated) pages for better navigation on the Navigation pane. Pages with child pages will need their child-pages-panes hidden. NPC and item pages should probably have a hidden navigation pane too. The Look action should probably be a spoiler window. I can...

I'd actually put D&D 5e at 5 and D&D 6e at 6. I answered 3, not knowing the rules to Lasers and Feelings, but my favorite game could go up to 4 or 5 with some thematic rules modules. I could also bump it down to 2 if I'm feeling like an easy, social thing.
