  1. I'd love to play a #TTRPG system that combined the roll-under percentile dice mechanics of #BasicRoleplaying with the rich sourcebooks and #InfiniteWorlds backdrop of #GURPS. For solo #RPG adventures, I'd use #MatrixGames as an oracle:

    I mean, this is kind of what I do anyway, but I'd like it to be integrated. Maybe with #ORC! Do you think #SteveJacksonGames can be talked into liberating GURPS?

  2. I'm not sure why folks are liking my last post, but it occurs to me that if I'm going to play solo, I don't have to be efficient; I can overkill my games as much as I see fit: #GURPS books, #BasicRoleplaying, #MatrixGames, bring it on

  3. @avram What do you think about replacing "argument" with "reason"? Short and seems sufficiently neutral for both cooperative and competitive #MatrixGames.

  4. @avram That sounds pretty good, but I don't understand why lowest winner wins on d6 and highest on d100. BTW, #MatrixGames were developed in a time when rolling lots of dice was not always considered a bad thing.

  5. @avram That's a good point. Let me nose around some more modern #MatrixGames and see what they call arguments. Proposals, maybe?
