Message: <blockquote data-quote="aramis erak" data-source="post: 8167404" data-attributes="member: 6779310">Many of  narrative elements can be added to ANY edition of D&D. The easiest include:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Let it Ride</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hero Points (5e DMG 264 - each point is +1d6 to a d20 roll, max 1 per roll)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Success with Complication instead of failure</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Fail-forward (implied in 4E and 5E DMG)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Decision in front with Fortune in the middle (pick action, roll, narrate attempt and result)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">reward playing the psychology as defined with a metacurrency (5E does: Inspiration; if one wants to emphasize it more, allow PC's to bank PB or even level of inspirations, and refill a point anytime a psychological bit is played)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Group authority instead of GM authority on rules (rules interpretations get handled by table vote, instead of GM vote)</li> </ul>Note that the RAW standard for D&D is narrate the attempt, then the GM confirms the mechanic, player rolls, GM narrates the outcome. Resequencing this can allow for smoother narrative. Note that AWE is very similar to traditional D&D: narrate the attempt, GM notes it as a move, player confirms it was intended or acceptable, player rolls, GM or player narrates the results, and a player continues.And, for the entirely oddball, some do things in other orders still...Brute Squad has the pick attribute, roll attempt, pick what the roll represents and narrate it.</blockquote>
