I''m referring to Fate specifically (where aspects are the hammer and everything becomes a nail to be driven in by the aspect). However, the problem with, say, John Carter could be the same if the GM wanted to go that way. The notion that you don't need skills because...you're already competent...

To me, that can be solved by establishing a limit up front. No need to take a rules system down to a handful of stats/skills. The problem with this approach quickly becomes the same problem with Fate, where your aspect becomes a hammer, and every challenge becomes a nail. "Well, surely if I'm...

Probably me. A lack of meaningful mechanics (or ultra-generic mechanics that handle everything with what amounts to a hand wave) are not automatically the gateway to narrative gaming any more than a wee bit of crunch in a system prevents narrative control. I can't imagine being more turned off...

That's the drift with 2d20 I don't care for. Too much abstraction leads to time wasted arguing on nonsense. I'm fine with de-crunching a bit from Conan/Mutant Chronicles/Infinity. De-crunching to where it's just an alternative to PbtA or Fate? Not interested.

I make a point of spending doom here and there as I go but I also let it build up for the big boss fight. But I make a point of spending 'excess' doom to take care of small things (pay off NPC complications or throw complications at PCs, for instance). You don't have to spend all doom, but if a...

I love Conan 2d20. It makes for great pulp sword & sorcery. Most of the complaints I've heard about the system... Each to his or her own. The Infinity 2d20 system seems like a missed opportunity. The writing is very dense and seems to miss the point of writing rules (to convey as simply as...

Is that the same as BECMI? If so, someone started work on a project and made it available to anyone who wants to pick it up. https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?51264-Dungeons-amp-Dragons-basic-1980/page2&highlight=basic+d%26amp%3Bd

Stupid question, but I'm assuming you've posted in the FG forums (on their website or on their Discord channel)? https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?40-LFG-Looking-for-Group Discord is too much of a hot mess for me to figure out how to grab URLs and such, but FG has a server...

I've been looking forward to this, but... Wow. Quick Start or not, this feels like a train wreck. There are sections I've had to read multiple times to get the intent. Rules should be written with clarity as the top priority. Brevity and simplicity are also good targets. This Quick Start...
