i've decided to open up my Aetheria #OpenD6 #TTRPG setting. it isn't elaborate, yet aetheria is the culmination of a couple decades of sessions. that being said, here is the initial release of the setting (i do plan more): https://senchawizard.neocities.org/aetheria/

the kids and i had a great session with peopletown rpg (an opinionated take on #OpenD6). so many laughs and, after 3 hours, i had to end it as the youngest was starting to get cranky from exhaustion, presumably from all the laughter. good times! #TTRPG

#TTRPG #OpenD6

This is something no one needed. Maybe not even me. But I did it anyway.

The original question was how to make a fair choice from 7 things using only D6.

It got out of hand. I have a "sort-of" solution that maps to the polyhedral dice (as well as lots of other prime numbers and stuff.)

dr. jan i tor was created using the #OpenD6 rule set. already decided he's in trouble for practicing medicine without a license and this entire session is him trying his best to avoid getting caught and/or charges. we'll see where this #Solo #TTRPG session takes us!

Maybe too deep a dive. I have fun. I can now fix my DSL so that it produces actual correct answers for spell difficulties in the very few cases where this matters.

I've got a DSL that covers a number of bases. The corpus of almost 400 spells all seem to work.

The whole point was to let me unburden myself of the details of a TTRPG world. Now that I've got spells and creatures, I can move forward into magical items and other juicy details.

still floating around the idea in my headspace of starting a relatively small #TTRPG club in the #KansasCity area. there's plenty of spaces to meet up, most are noisy (looking at you Cardboard Corner Cafe) and prevent conversation. right now, i'm interested in mostly #OpenD6 and #Pathfinder2e play. difficult to find people, it seems, for either of those interests. it's all DnD here of which i have little to no interest atm.

whee! #TTRPG i have been working on with my son is out: https://senchawizard.itch.io/peopletown

i had been waffling between fudge and #OpenD6, but my son found Open D6 more engaging (he's nearly 8, so forgiveness is asked). probably will release a conversion between the two eventually for this setting.

Down to a solid 85 type hinting problems with my Python-based DSLs for OpenD6 Spells and Characters.

This isn't as *easy* as I had imagined it to be.

But. After designing some unique spells and monsters for my world, I'm happy to continue down the path of refining this DSL. It's been super-helpful to make sure all the t's are crossed and i's are dotted.

And. We've arrived at the secret shine buried deep in the mountain of brain-cramping math.

The old Fantasy Wargaming uses polynomial growth of the number of piety points required to grant more power to a cleric character.

OpenD6 uses linear growth in skills. The next die (or pip) of a skill costs as much as the previous die (or pip.)

I think the FW approach needs significant rethinking. It doesn't neatly adapt to OpenD6.

#TTRPG

Making progress reverse-engineering #OpenD6 spells from Fantasy, Magic Guide, and the System books.

It's not easy because the published spell descriptions lack all the details to audit the difficulty computations.

I've found a few real errors.

I've also found rounding problems: my computation is off by 1 from the published difficulty. Ignoring those.

My goal is to understand the details so I can create new spells that actually follow *all* the rules (written and assumed.)
