Yeah, the blog is pretty full of the idea that this is "what if we made the kinda OSR-esque / dungeon looting game we want to with our Power Roll tech, and a lot of the innovations in this space that the ream of brilliant OSR games have done."

They're clearly all natural caves or monster-made!

Yeah, but you can also use them in a VTT by grabbing the images. Yes, tactility is awesome (and I think some ofmy online players are using physical cards in front of them?), but most of them are just rolling their physical dice and telling me the result. Also Daggerheart works perfectly in Miro...

Jesus Christ. Ok yeah, I find Draw Steel! to be at the very edge of my complexity and clarity boundary, and this is beyond that.

Both donkeys and mules are excellent at crossing rough terrain. THere's a reason we did logistics trains with the latter especially! Sure, they're not defying physics the way a goat can but anywhere you'd get a heavy treasure load you could get ponys/mules. Plus ya know, mules have a great...

actually, mules/donkeys were not uncommon in mines!

Im running two DH games online, works great! The Hope/Fear helping run the spotlight means its even smoother then most narrative games that I also run online.

This is where I'm at. Cut waaayyy back on how much you enumerate in the combat subsystem, emphasize handling it via fiction and simple modifiers. Roll your stat for most things. Focus on the around-the-table energy, and have systems that support that.

Well, a real-life timer.

Those are all built into various classes as core fictional permissions. A 2nd level Censor can have: A 3rd level Void Elementalist has: Identifying magic items isn't really a thing, creation is handled via the unified crafting rules.

You can generally use any in-combat power out of combat if it solves an issue, with resources available equal to victories, and a limitation like once per Respite or something?

Ok my bad, I should've said "classic dungeon crawling in the OSR sense" since you know, he's referencing teh OSR scene a lot in that blog. And generally that's the vibe they preach: extraction of loot to gain xp over fighting, working to use smarts over character abilities (potentially...

I mean, isn't this the entirety of classic dungeon crawling?

I think they're going to wind up with "survival horror" as the like wrapping or vibe for creatures / world, but what you said WRT classic "extraction looter" mechanics.

Sounds like Backpack -= Wounds, but I'm assuming levels = some other stuff like Stamina and such? Inherent modifiers, skills, etc. Struck me as "what if we took Trophy but made it actually crunchy" quite a bit reading through the Patreon post. The backpack usage die seems interesting though!

Mausritter? :D (I haven't the slightest idea what that game's actual play loop is) Some day I'll return to my Mouse Guard / Redwall / Stonetop mashup Forged in the Dark game and get it playable...

I think this is because of its mission based structure? You embark on the patrol/mission with a Goal, and the GM puts obstacles in front of you on their turn. It reminds me of the structure of a Score. So things are either "not related to an obstacle and just proceed" or "an obstacle is in front...

Oh ok, I figured since TB was based off it there was commonality! I'm assuming packed into "say yes or roll the dice" is an inclusion of also "but if the fictional position would make it impossible say no?" Edit: having read all the TB2 posts above I'm once again confused at how any of this...
