[QUOTE="stonehead, post: 9604696, member: 7047885"] I don't want to sidetrack this thread too much, but [B]any[/B] ttrpg? Really? Every TTRPG system is equally difficult to implement in a computer? Games like Fate and Apocalypse World require a lot of improvisation and on-the-fly decision making by the GM, and that's not really feasible in a computer. In P2E, you have a list of actions you're allowed to take on your turn. That's pretty easy to model in a computer. In PbtA games, you describe what your character does narrative first, and the GM decides if any dice need to be rolled. That's not too hard for a person to do, but it's really hard to model in a compute. If you think DND 5E is easy to build computer games around, fair enough. I [I][SIZE=3](and the head of the company that actually built a computer game around it)[/SIZE][/I] would look at the move towards "rulings not rules" as being less compatible with crpgs. But the idea that every system in the world is equally appropriate to become a crpg is quite a stretch. [/QUOTE]
