[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8999053, member: 6790260"] I wouldn't call it inflexible, but I do think it's lower than a lot of people [I]think[/I] it is on the flexibility scale. I would say this of genuinely every edition of D&D, including 4e. That skill challenges use (as I call them) "flexible framework rules" does not save 4e [I]as a whole[/I] from being below-average flexibility. By comparison, I would say Dungeon World is above average for flexibility. It's [I]certainly[/I] not perfectly flexible, as I've discovered with the aforementioned "how do I make this support intrigue" thing. But as long as you want something more-or-less within the expected "let's play D&D" space, you'd have to work real damn hard to make something [I]more[/I] flexible. Even for the areas it isn't flexible already, you can often burgle from other PbtA games designed for those areas (as with my example of nicking rules from Stonetop for settlement-focused adventuring; currently, I'm looking over [I]The Sword, the Crown, and the Unspeakable Power[/I] to possibly steal intrigue stuff from.)
