[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7129077, member: 12731"] My beef with every such system I've seen, including Birthright, is that it's created from a point of view that is *not* that of the board game. That is, if you focus on the historical/"realism" angle, or the fantasy angle, or the D&D class angle, or merely anything so we have something angle... You end up with a system that trivially breaks down / is easily abusable. I realize you can cover much by judicious DMing, but I'd prefer a domain system that hums along by itself, that doesn't crack when used. You know, like a decent board game! [emoji3] Especially when you consider board games that work when played solitaire - to work even without the self-compensation that is the other players, the design needs to be *really tight*. Lightyears more tight than anything I've seen in the ttrpg arena, that is. Sent from my C6603 using [URL=http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=93205]EN World mobile app[/URL] [/QUOTE]
