ive personality traits d10 alternate high and low ocean order enneagram types d10 0 wildcard dnd alignments likewise if you re familiar with the tarot such that you just know off the dome what a seven or swords is or whatever i don t you can make 00 19 the major arcana drop the minor arcana nobility and make the 2_ s 3_ s 4_ s 5_ s the number cards of your suit of choice the pathfinder harrow deck is basically already this since the suites are just dnd stats and the ranks dnd alignment as before turn the list of 9 into 10 via 0 digit as wildcard i m tempted to familiarize myself with it because then i get an instant image or more complex tarot y association that requires a little less brute force recall than actual tarot even if the original version is richer oath boardgame suites hearth order discord nature arcane nomad though i don t have a great intuitive sense of how to order them other than by memorizing in brute force list your own on november 11 2024 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels tables gaming goals 2024 this is a year of cutting back i anticipate further cuts to my time and there are other things i want to prioritize with the time left so gaming gets triaged keep playing weekly or biweekly it s good it s probably the only friends time i have see if i can make it more in person if possible no more commercial products i m already sitting on a vast dragon s hoard full of well regarded stuff i haven t even gotten around to reading so no paying for anything and no piracy either the exceptions paying for shipping or printing costs for things i ve already kickstarted getting a book if my group is playing a new game books with gaming utility that aren t gaming specific like my beloved greenwood press daily life series and other gaming useful materials like pencils paper etc but not gamer products like a beautiful gm s screen or whatever allocate less thinking time to gaming not zero but in terms of books blogs podcasts and independent thinking time i m going to focus more on other things i m concerned about i ll still be blogging myself but about economics and politics and the future here but this gaming blog will probably lie dormant for a good while i don t regret my time spent in this scene at all lovely people by and large and delicious ideas no doubt i ll come back eventually on january 13 2024 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest a prompt calendar for lore24 spriggan s den proposes lore24 let s fuckin goooooo i failed d23 pretty instantly but i ve always been a more general lorehead so maybe i ll have more luck with this one here s a calendar of prompts each month and week has a theme and there a couple of cycles through other various prompts it works best if you ignore most prompts and just go with whatever stupid idea pops into your head it deliberately has too many replace mine with ones that work for you modifying them on the ref tab will automatically update them on the calendar tab on december 14 2023 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels lore24 ur systems there are a lot of rules systems debates over the extent to which system matters and groupings of rules into groups based on advanced paleontology historico linguistic comparative analysis and the latest genetic evidence i have cloned the most basic systems to display them in this post my personal jurassic park primordial sim players describe what their characters do and the gm decides what the likely outcomes will be if it s not obvious whether it would succeed or fail she flips a coin fkr isn t about the amount of rules but one can read a lot of fkr style play as essentially this with optional bells and whistles indeed i think the core claim of fkr is that all other rules in a game can be considered a sort of midrash which advises the execution of primordial sim hadean narrativism a storyteller tells a story you might say that this isn t a game that s quite true in fact ludochemists have reconstructed it from processes they believe to have begun during the hadean eon before there were games proper but as certain molecules were beginning to behave in a game like way archean narrativism players describe what their characters do and the gm decides what would make for the best story if it s not obvious she flips a coin during the archean eon the primordial soup began to bubble and hadean narrativism evolved into a game form it is most well known for two descendants primordial narrativism players take turns telling a story primordial illusionism play archean narrativism but say you re playing primordial sim thus we have three basic primordial body plans ps pn and pi that describe the rules of all roleplaying games imo species level system differences do not matter that much especially within ps pi but phylum level differences do on december 12 2023 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels theory my downtime rules these are for 5e but can be adapted to just about anything the most important thing they re meant to do is to make downtime a meaningful scarce resource and to give players a cast of npcs for us all to play with there s also an attempt to attack 5e s five minute adventuring day and caster martial disparities especially around high levels and outside of the combat situations where they are strongest during a week of downtime you can take downtime actions you can take actions equal to three plus the number of extra attacks cunning actions you get unless otherwise noted you can t double up on the same kind of action in the same week these include work work enough to pay for your lodging and basic needs rest get the benefits of a long rest aside from renewal of spells higher than 2nd level train you must spend a number of weeks equal to your current level training to advance to a new level half rounded up must be consecutive can also be used to acquire language or tool proficiencies if you have an appropriate mentor may be used to unlock abilities a level early build friendship spend time with an npc to build up a positive relationship drinking buddies romance business partners you tell me renew with the maintain relationships action which must be maintained once each moon you can invent an appropriate npc or as if it would work with an existing one friendly npcs can help you out make social introductions consulted for knowledge might accompany you on adventures and so on they also might expect the same maintain friendships spend time with or write heartfelt letters to up to 2 cha bonus npc friends once each moon to maintain friendly status you can do this more than once a moon to maintain such relationships with more people bully you can also maintain an intimidating relationship with up to cha or str intimidation proficiency npcs who are weaker than you they maintain fear of you and won t do anything to inspire your ire unless they get assurances from a faction that could offer them protection you can both bully and maintain friendship with the same people if you particularly want to invest in their loyalty this typically looks like putting a lot of work into getting them to accept their status as a valued minion study spend time with a complex book or artifact to understand it better or research a topic at a library you have access to stalk follow someone s movements or case a building typically a stealth roll to not get caught and investigation roll to find the information you re looking for carouse go down a stress level and something unexpected happens most often an unexpected new friend new enemy or debt prayer go down a stress level level strange dreams may intrude offering information or other blessings in exchange for more stress or obligations one week of this is required to renew as per a raw long rest 3rd level divine spells two consecutive weeks to renew 4th level divine spells and so on might be combined with something else depending on circumstances arcane research one week of this is required to renew as per a raw long rest 3rd level arcane spells two consecutive weeks to renew 4th level arcane spells and so on if you have a new book or other source of arcane lore get the benefits of the study action as well something else you tell me if you have a warlock patron they will typically require one downtime action per week doing their bidding either do this specific thing or do something that advances this plan for you to stay in their favor if you are out of favor warlock abilities that would require a short rest require a long rest or at least a night s rest instead as with anything else tell me what concrete in world actions your character takes to do these in world logic trumps game rules we can typically handle downtime over email if you re incommunicado i ll assume work rest something else reasonable on november 20 2023 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels system slush pile 1 one day these may blossom into beautiful posts today they

genuinely interesting quests such an interesting version of the form one gm many players with one pc feels like a response to player flakiness on the big cultures of play throwing my hat into this ring pretty late and i m still not sure where on the obvious untenable spectrum this hypothesis is but if you take a look at the evolution of play styles mentioned by john obv the lines of influence are way more rhizomatic than this part of what you get i think is a progressive intensification of the elements of tabletop rpgs that aren t as well served by other media at a time of course when those other media have become a bigger and bigger components of people s lives classic play presents itself as a series of escalating fair challenges fairness in turn allows success to be legible classic play is built with assumptions for tournament play and open tables and above all else is a game trad play by contrast can be read as a form of play built for the established table a small group of people who will experience the same events event which if properly finessed might add up to a story so we have stories and games two familiar aesthetic forms occupying the same strange new medium ttrpgs this dichotomy present in many ways before the medium itself is still with us today but they ve both evolved in ways to take advantage of the differences between this medium and others
